- The River Thames is home to big fish of all species, but it has gained a reputation for being one of the best carp venues in the country. Over the years many anglers have trodden its paths and navigated its length in their own vessels trying to outwit the highly nomadic population of carp.
To reap the rewards the Thames has to offer, time and effort have to be accounted for and no man knows this more than Nick Helleur. Throughout the last two years, we have filmed Nick go about his fishing on the mighty waterway, in pursuit of the holy grail; a 50-pounder from running water.
Nick reveals the ups and downs of this true rollercoaster ride in his typical style in a film you really do not want to miss!

Can't get enough of this film, the greatest angling film ever made, with the greatest uk carp ever, and Nick one hell of an angler ❤
' I've seen some lovely girls on the way down which is always a bonus ' 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a beautifully told story of such an iconic capture, if this doesn’t inspire you to get out fishing nothing ever will! Thank you.
I can honestly say that has to be the best fishing video I have ever watched.
I found myself leaving the lounge and going upstairs,closing the door behind me so that I was not disturbed and could not put my phone down.
Incredible story and what a carp to finish it off,huge congratulations Nick.
I got chills and my eyes got watery with emotion.
Loved it.
Wow thank you pal you have just done exactly that ....inspired me again I lost my dad at Christmas who taught me the joys of the bank but I've been out ,7or 8 times this year and blanked every session you've inspired me fella last man who could do that was my dad so thank you loved this film xxx
Glad you enjoyed the film.
Kind regards,
Sticky.
"It will echo through time itself" - nailed it.
This is the most amazing and incredible fishing video and story I have ever watched. And boy have I watched some. I’ve watched it 3 times in 3days. Just phenomenal.
I’ve recommended to everybody even non-fishermen.
Great work Nick and Sticky baits.
Glad you enjoyed the film.
Kind regards,
Sticky.
Nick at the end you said you probably didn't deserve that fish ... well let me tell you ... you bloody did !! what an inspiration well done 👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed the film.
Kind regards,
Sticky.
Oh dear god, like nick said himself we all new about the awesome capture a while back, but man alive he’s story telling coupled with the footage tells a lot more.
Bloody awesome watch guys 👏🏼👌🎣🙌🏻
25 jealous people out there 😪
Great film, well done Nick! 👌🙌
Yes i really didn't get the dislikes on this video people clearly don't get a proper fishing video
I was thinking why would people dislike this video. Weirdos
Must be the Mainline crew,Even they have to admit ,the films sticky have been doing are just filmed stunning.I film my self and honest this is just really great footage.Of a special moment in time ,50lb out of thames.If i lived down there,i would be looking everywhere for those boats lol .
Also on the wychwood gear,i love there stuff ,Had all rods from df's shim's but in all honesty i just love the low end 3lb tc wychwood 101's ,they have served me well.Love cork handled rods though .Only had two rods i like more and that was when i won carp talk comp ,and got two terry hearn mk 2's about 6 month before they went on sale ,they was just beautiful,and signed by him .Sold them like a prat.Fell out with fishing for big carp for around 6 year ,but still been filming em and photographing em .Underwater footage ext.But it become more about how good you looked than fishing ,it become stupid ,Level rods and bobbins all same height .Joke really.No more,I still gone for a nice kit ,since i got back into it.But nothing to tarty,But looks nice and does the job.Fishing a large gravel pit that is just un fished ,but there are at least two 40's in there.But loads of bream and tench roach .unlike the other pit at the side of it.I've done that one,and had the largest 4 fish in there.They are bigger now.At least 5 fish over 30 lb,for south yorkshire ,and not a circuit water there big fish that have got to this weight through feeding on natural food.Only seen one other angler on there fishing ,but he was after bream.But he told me hes been done a few times by just un stoppable fish,Carp bloody big carp to for south yorkshire two 40's at least rest are un known.Its the reason i love this new challange.fishing for the unknown,but knowing there are two fish both mirrors over 40lb.On there tomorrow,for next 12 month,so i will be doing blogs on that venue and my adventures.Going at it with at least one rod on bottom bait with a fake piece of corn ,or a 10mm tipper,snow man.I normally fish pop ups withy pool or supple hinge rig.But depending on weed tomorrow ,i will be using a stiff boom ,on there if weeds not bad,so looking forward to latching into one of these beauties.
Probably animal rights activists had a run in with those nerds on a park lake after i caught a special 34lb leney not long ago
Best fishing video made, exactly what we love about fishing
Well said
I'm a game fisherman , but I've really enjoyed this absolute gentleman's stories on his exploits carp fishing , he comes across as a really genuine guy who is passionate about his sport .
Amazing best carp video off 2019
Nick big congrats 👌
One of the best fishing films I personely have ever seen loved it.
Up until this video I had always looked at the black mirror as the carp of all carp but this thing has taken top spot for me. RIP
Incredible angler Incredible fish Well deserved capture. And a incredible story Thank you for sharing it
Consider it a milestone.
The pure craftmanship and effort and... taste! that went into making this is as far as I can oversee and know carpfishing films just something new and different.
Yes there are films that are more on the instructional side than this.
But thats not what THIS film is about.
I so caught myself having a big grin on my face and in the end... I mean carpanglers dont cry, dont they?
And of course old Nick just wears the sunglasses because of the brutal sun when he holds that creature, doesnt he?
Yes there are films more instructional (and more advertising all the same) out there.
But this is so much about just fishing.
Why we do it.
And whats it all about.
Still smiling
And greetings from Germany
Glad you enjoyed the film.
Kind regards,
Sticky.
Terry has taught him so much, even how to tell a story!
You have to be a child or just stupid
No matter how many times I watch it, I get choked up right at the very end. Beautiful film. So inspiring. Lost for words every time. Respect nick helleur
as someone who has spent the last 4 years in a vw t5 camper van with 2 dogs traveling throughout europe fishing catch and release for sea bass, in ireland ,france, spain and portugal,
i can relate totally to the effort you put in and to the lifestyle you have,
a wonderfull tale,
thanks for shareing
peter

Such an amazing story. And what a fish from the Thames.
Still had the mouth curtain. Truly a magnificent carp .well done
A true gentleman, now and then, took time to chat with me about Fox Pool years back on Carp Forum. Love his ethos on carp fishing and a great story told here. Well worth a watch!
Glad you enjoyed the film.
Kind regards,
