Carp caught in England my man, prized capture over here :)

Most i see is just accident and get turn to meme

Agreed I'm not sure what the soundtrack is meant for, but I'll do my bit to promote catch and release 💪

some accidents, some dead drum that get thrown onto a railing!

So what do u eat

Ofc u gotta fish to eat

You’ll need a rod licence, but I wouldn’t know what club/syndicate owns the water.

What are you referring to Mark?

aha! was great to be on running water first day of the season though!

It’s a hybrid carp and F1 was the name given by the breeders. Half common carp, half crucian.

@@jameslewisfishing oh right I’ve seen it all about Facebook had no idea what it meant, Cheers buddy tight lines 👌

Glad to help mate, tight lines!

Always tight 😊

Hi there, not sure on that one as I live some distance away.

@@randyrathbun4649 have you tried it?

Imagine the vinegar bills!

slippery little rascals!

Another fish on the same day, sometimes the stars align!

@@jameslewisfishing when the fishing gods are upon us and we have nice warm wind blowing towards us and they are feeding…..that’s we know it’s game on! Tights lines bud 🎣

Daiwa TDR 4012 :)

I'll put me returning the fish tomorrow :)

It really is 😊

Back to grow bigger for next time :)

Thanks man, such awesome looking fish!

beyond me that one Steve aha!

Zorro!

Great question Pete. It's actually a discontinued model, an old Daiwa Yank and Bank 12ft. Having used a few on there you need something with some meat in the blank to get the control. What i would say is it wasn't that expensive and i think a slightly lower grade carbon means it's a bit more forgiving if you're looking for something similar.

great wobbly thing!

Appreciated :)

Thanks Terry 💪

Thanks Steve, yeh always quite physical at boddington, even getting there is a trek 🤣

One scooooooop!

Really appreciated Alan, your support means the world, hopefully more of the same in the Final 💪

A fair comment to a novice, not lost a rod in 30 years and was never going to pull rod out my hand. Fish would have been in more danger making the snags that are out of shot on a looser drag!

This was on the River Thames around Abingdon, caught that perch on maggots

Thanks man, need to get more edited! Your videos are awesome too!

Thank you! 😊

Will do thanks 💪

Hi Onyx, always best to have a google of the location you want to fish, see if you can figure out who owns the stretch. Some places you can buy a day ticket, some are memberships only and a rare few stretches are free.

Try part 2 for more footage

Love to draw that swim!

Aha a deadly combination when used correctly! 🤣

Got to improve this year 🤣

Couple more to come as well!

Cheers Ricki, yeh I think with catching on the pole, and the wind it's easy to miss fish, cracking performance and wishing Lauren all the best in the final!

that's a carbon fibre pole at 11.5meters :)

@@jameslewisfishing woow, why so long? And the whole thing is made of carbon fiber, wouldn't that be really expensive?

For the simple reason to fish further out, but very accurately a lot of the time where the fish want to inhabit. But yes they can be pricey!

@@jameslewisfishing fair enough, how much did it cost u and how heavy is it?

I got it second hand so half the price of a new one thankfully. They’re just over 1kg at full length

shoutout jesse!

carp ahoy!

Yeh the Lea has got some proper specimens in, huge chub not to far away either!

Many thanks, also looking forward to some warmer weather!

Think I'll need a bit more than that Si aha!

@@jameslewisfishing yes mate same amount just a lot bigger,hope to have practice or two before hand.sly Maver Mk,you up for it

Yeh I’m keen on the Barston legs mate and happy to go up have a few practices.

@@jameslewisfishing sounds good mate ,

Agreed 2023 was a mad year of weather! I understand starting them early as It's no fun fishing through the ice!

streets ahead!

I’ll just have to win one now 🤣🤣🤣

You know it!

A carp :)

Ah thanks Allan, next one out in the early new year 😊
