Up until 6 months ago, I had never heard of Mike before but have grown to love him from listening to the bait works podcasts. Mike is so passionate, down to earth, funny and dedicated that he’s impossible not to like. Keep on doing it Mike. Love what you do.
Rewatched this again, love the way mike explains and bring the film to life reminds me of the way Terry hearn explains things..epic video and amazing result 👏
What a great video. You can really get his passion for carp fishing through this video. All of the carp were absolutely mesmerising with the underslung mouths and crusty withered fins 🎣
Thanks Keith, glad you enjoyed it mate. thanks for the kind feedback also, if anglers like it then you never know I may do a another one at some point . All the best and have a great 2022. Tight lines Mike
I regularly walk round this lake and have seen many fisherman trying their level best but have never seen anything being caught. This Video is amazing and those fish were awesome. Well done and thank you for uploading the video. I am a fly fisherman and think all carp fishermen are bonkers LOL but I thoroughly enjoyed watching that. Brilliant
Unbelievable haul of carp !! Just one of those i would have been over the moon with... Brilliant fishing Mike i doubt i will see a better park lake / winter catch like that again. Fish of most peoples dreams, love it. Cheers Nick
Thanks for this enjoyable produktion! I love fishing in public lakes. It is always exciting to catch carps like that. Thumbs up Mike! Greetings from Germany
Fantastic video and what an amazing short campaign at a very busy park puddle. 👏 I really enjoyed this. Looking forward to more great videos and stories from the folks at ESP 👍✌️🎣🔥
Absolutely wow, mesmerizing every minute of it, the carp, the sedate descriptions the filming, I'd say this production is an easy 11 out of 10 haha, I enjoyed this so much. Fantastic guy, great passion conveyed.
Absolutely Amazing! You Mike are a breath of fresh air, your last couple of blogs have been an absolute joy to watch!, fair play to you, you deserve everything you get. Thank you once again 😊👊🏼
Fantastic video yet again ESP. Mike what a fantastic set of fish you have caught and is a reward for all your hard work. To catch those fish in a massive water in winter would thrill any angler so very well done.
what a great result you had on this amazing park lake Mike, you definitely deserved all them lovely old carp with amount of effort you put in over the winter it's not for faint hearted doing just day sessions that's for sure. well done mate. 👌
@@BaitworksTV yes caught it years ago unfortunately I had no film in the camera..this was pointed out later in the day when I caught another fish drrrrr🤔
Such a dawnting lake but so sooo worth some time and effort! Congratulations to you Mike. I hope to have one of these beautiful creatures on this same lake one day 👌
I really enjoyed that video and you can't help but be inspired. Mike seems like such a nice bloke and he certainly earned and deserved that awesome result. Great vid esp and I hope you do something with Mike again in the future 👍
The Last video was so good i was thinking that will be hard for you to beat but wow this was epic mate amazing carp and what a place well done mate 🐟🎣👌
Live 2 mins from this lake and seen a good handful near the bridge ready to spawn, today. 49 lb silver common got had by the otters, sad. Wrote this before seeing you catch it. The lake culture here is so heart warming, beautiful people and great place to visit.
Well done Mike. Wonderful result. It's so true that if you can find them at that time of the year they are there to be caught. I especially agree with your thoughts on bait volume and keeping the pressure on the fish to the minimum to achieve results.👍 I love the Podcast andthe interviews you do. Yours and Mark's ramblings are always a joy and a great distraction and help keep me motivated in my own angling. Well done and keep up the good work. Just need to get back out on the next campaign...if the family will allow 👍🤣❤
Mike Just no words 😶 could not happen to a nicer bloke , love your and marks friendship and no better way to share it … them chips look banging …. Some mega fish and that big girl could go 50lb one day …. Love to baitworks team and family
Great vid, especially as it's 'that venue'. Always thought the vast bulk of the originals were mirrors though? Commons from 'next door' maybe? Well done Mike!
@@leighroland7986 mate half the noddies that watch this video wouldnt even be able to find them carp let alone catch them but yeah i get you deleted mate 👍
What a 12 months mate on 🔥 really enjoyed that bud and what a change from your normal type of lakes I'd say you were getting a little addicted to park lakes lol. Well done top angling👌👌
Mental session, well done on your captures and going the extra mile when most wouldn't. Made me chuckle when the attractive blonde lady said "that's enormous"!
I am biased because Terry Hearn is literally my carping hero and idol whom without I would not have landed so many massive lumps all over Europe like I have in the last 30 or so years, so the stories and video will never match anything the guy does, but I enjoyed this very much thats for sure! Great fish and great video, super carp angler for sure!
It reminds me of my campaign on a park lake were all the carp have been stolen or died l was told don't bother there's nuthing in there but my instinct drew me to the lake 1st session nuthink 2nd one small carp 3rd 31lb l was blown away it was winter l had 31 in my arms and l am still catching last week had 26lb and 29lb happy days/ brilliant video
We all have a list of the lads we'd love to go fishing with and Mike's 100% on mine, the way he tells a story and the joy on his face is class. ESP has a gem.
Cheers Lee, appreciate the kind feedback mate. Really pleased you enjoyed it as much as I did filming it with Jack. Have a great 2022 mate, all the best Mike.

Nice to see there are still carp in there! Thought the otters had them all
Hi Mike. Great video! Can I ask what tubing you use to cover the eye on your multi rig?
Thats the ESP 0.75 silicone tube mate. Nice and tight over the eye. All the best
@@BaitworksTV cheers chap!
Wow, once in a lifetime exceptional angling.
This will be epic! Nice one Mike!
Mental session, well done on your captures and going the extra mile when most wouldn't. Made me chuckle when the attractive blonde lady said "that's enormous"!

Fantastic angling!
Great video, well done 👏
Really don't get much better then that 🤘🔥🔥
Incredible angling!
Takes a brave man to take on Coate (for many reasons) but has held big fish for decades. Amazing result Mike 👍
lol True words mate, glad you enjoyed it Dan, thanks for the kind feedback also.
coate is dangerous dunno how he survived
Great video 👍👍
It reminds me of my campaign on a park lake were all the carp have been stolen or died l was told don't bother there's nuthing in there but my instinct drew me to the lake 1st session nuthink 2nd one small carp 3rd 31lb l was blown away it was winter l had 31 in my arms and l am still catching last week had 26lb and 29lb happy days/ brilliant video
@baitworks is this the crazy park lake you are talking about on the podcast?
Yes mate, one of two. The other one is captured in my Otters and Carp blogs on the Baitworks You-Tube channel mate. Both crazy places to fish indeed!
Your a natural story teller Mike, the next Terry Hearn. Congrats
Christ calm down mate!
@@benbirch2393 haha makes a change from people saying it about Alfie lool
Cracking video . I know your using baitworks , but what was them in the pot they looked well tasty
Those were the soon to be released CreAmino super charged hookbaits mate. All the best
Good old bus stop
23.06 what product is that your using to cover the knot? I'm sick of steaming shrink tube
Hello mate, I use 0.75mm ESP silicone, its miles easier than shrinking all the time IMO for this rig. Plus it's a nice snug fit. cheers Mike
@@BaitworksTV thanks for that 👍
We all have a list of the lads we'd love to go fishing with and Mike's 100% on mine, the way he tells a story and the joy on his face is class. ESP has a gem.
Cheers Lee, appreciate the kind feedback mate. Really pleased you enjoyed it as much as I did filming it with Jack. Have a great 2022 mate, all the best Mike.
