One of the greatest uk captures of all time. As proper as it gets!
I completely agree , this is right up there 💯
Agreed
Totally agree Russell, outstanding capture from a phenomenally hard piece of water
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ChiefBr0dy are you for real? A unknown 40lb fish from a huge Scottish gravel pit. Come on mate, jealousy gets us nowhere
This man is next level.i want to see more of him
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come, hopefully bedtime he is holding up that big dark one!
Couldn’t agree more, we need more of this man on screen. 💯👍👌
There's hard-core carp anglers, and the there's Ben Mir. I carp fished around the Scottish Borders for around 10 years, and the weather alone is enough to put most off. Nothing is colder than a gale force Easterly that's come straight off the North Sea. Top film and an absolute legend!
Glad you enjoyed it! He is a serious angler there is no denying that!
In the early 1980 s we put a dustbin full of small carp commons , mirrors in we were pike fishing at the time ,,,Ben fishing it since 1976😊
This is what carp fishing is all about. I’ve got bags respect for this fella. As good as it gets that 👏👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely excellent little film, a carp angling pal of mine used to bream fish this venue, before he got into carp fishing, we’re from the north east of England, ( and he was actually the official bream record holder ) Scottish record, caught from castle Loch ! he used to talk about the carp in there and what it was like hooking one accidentally on the bream tackle ( always snapped you up or got away) but bream wise he was the boyo for a few years. Nowadays he’s a successful carp angler. 💯🔥
Proper angling for big wild carp. Superb vid.
Glad you enjoyed it
Inspirational stuff! Every fish a special triumph. Yes, real, true investigative carp fishing. Well done, Ben..👏👏👏
Was about to go to sleep then saw the title of the video. Safe to say I’ve just finished the whole thing. Fished castle loch with my old man as a kid for pike. Incredible to think fish like that are in there. Incredible proper hardcore angling that! 👏
Glad you enjoyed it, really is a magical place!
Possibly the most enthralling accout of chasing carp I've seen or heard, Ben would make a great eel angler.
Great film from the scotch bomber, and a very nice man pleasure to call him a pal
This is brilliant. I DEMAND more of this bloke. He’s quality viewing. 👏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come, lets hope next time he is holding up the mystery monster!
What a lovely geezer, that is one hell of a bit of angling, to have these captures in Scotland is no easy task and I should think very few people will ever accomplish these kind of results, brilliant video and I hope to see more of this man in the future 💪👊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow that's the real deal! There's absolutely no reason why their can't be something special in Scotland! Fascinating stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it! Scotland certainly still holds some mysteries when it comes to very big carp!
Brilliant story buddy I was impressed by your journey on Castle Loch I fished on the loch on 😂holiday 40 years ago for a bit of piking. Was renowned for big bream and big pike at the time a magical place. Good luck with your quest buddy.
Mega stuff. Awesome lakes around there, I used to pike fish them as a lad and remember hearing the carp rumours from castle loch in the mid 90s
Awesome commitment and angling, one of the last frontiers of carp fishing in the UK.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Brilliant !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cracking to hear your stories Ben. A pioneer in scottish carping for sure. Met you a few times back in the day before a moved away. I had a few big tench off the canal when you got that 1st 30lbr. Some area.Keep the catch reports coming 🎣🏴
Superb video that
Glad you enjoyed it!
I remember these captures back in the day only just realised it was the same bloke! So makes it so much more impressive 👌👌
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome story👊
Great video. Looks like Scotland could do with someone dropping in a few mirrors !
Those armour plated old commons just seem to last so much longer with the otters. It seems the mirrors are much easier for the otters to grab hold of
@@AvidCarpFishingTV Interesting....i guess there are more scales to slip and let a common get away.
This actually Blew me away 😮 it was such a good watch
That’s tough going and dedication so much effort and time really enjoyed your video and admire your determination and thinking regards from Bournemouth
Fantastic Ben and to think Asim had the OG record from the Huggy to what u have now...amazing m8
Glad you enjoyed it! No doubt Ben will end up with another record under his belt soon enough!
Superb video Ben 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
An excellent video sir.
Great listening to ur carping adventures over the years , u deserved them fish the time and effort u put in , wishing u many more memories to come , found it really interesting , keep up the good work 👍 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
YARP!!!!
Great angling
A true pioneer just like the old days hope you catch white belly!!
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
Superb Ben 🏴👌
I like this guy
Proper carp 🎣🐳
Didn't realise Scotland had carp that big
Great video, I fished Castle Loch back in the 90s after Bream remember talking to people, how said you see the odd carp on top in summer but no body fishes for them. Such a shame the massive head of Bream has been all but wiped out, sure the lake still holds Scottish Bream record.
An amazing venue, Callum did have the Scottish record bream this year from Castle!
looks a mega lake
It is a special place that's for sure!
Thats my uncle
Respect to mr Mir I’ve been to this loch before and it’s as tough as it gets
G burns ex member Scottish carp group
Did you ever catch the tench or bream ,while after the carp ,,we used to hook carp after the bream biggest 23 lb common ,but hooked into some larger ones but never banked them on bream tackle 😮
The bream are seldom gone now however young Callum did bag the record from there recently. The tench are still knocking about though!
lot off hard work put in, i wont say you only catch fat gold fish anymore,. great insight into what you do, to catch big fish. keep up the good work mate
Proper carp angling.
That’s the trouble with carp fishing, you want to share your catches but then every Tom Dick and Harry turns up at the lake 😂
Go get nessy Ben quality angling quality watch!!!
If anyone could catch Ness it would be Ben 🤣 Glad you enjoyed it!
Fucking class proper carp fishing
Keeping yeee haaaa keeping it real
That can’t be a Scottish fish.. it’s not tartan?
🤪
Cant understand a single word of that.
He even did his posh voice
well done ben
