As a long time Carl and & Alex fan I’m almost ashamed to say that I didn’t know Tom had his own channel. You do such great work with Carl and it’s great to see your own stuff as well. Great vid Tom, keep it up 👍🏻
Fantastic video Tom. So nice to see that although Carl, your boss, he's also a friend and was genuinely happy for you, when you caught biggest carp in Holland. Great to see no egos overshadow, your team fishing
Cheers John :) There's lots of great anglers that have got to where they are because they're intensely selfish, focussing solely on their own goals and pursuing them in solitude.. and whilst that's absolutely fine, admirable sometimes.. that isn't Carl. He's a skilled angler, but a friend first, chasing awesome shared memories - he's a top notch dude :)
I’m loving your videos but I need more!! I went through all of them in an evening while out fishing. Even got interrupted by a 44lbs common on my local canal! Keep up the good work, looking forward to the future of your channel! Greetings from Belgium!
Jeez, that's one hell of a way to be interrupted!!!!!! That's amazing!! Haha, I'll get making some more as soon as I can 😉 Hoping to get out to Belgium at some point this year!
Just subscribed as this was such a great little vid. Like a previous comment I wasn’t aware you had your own channel. Keep up the good work can’t wait to see part 2 👌
Outstanding Tom! I absolutely love your films, and the production is top class. You really capture the adventure, and have a good eye for a great shot, that really tells the story. Good work bud!
Loved the video Tom. It was really nice to see you and your buddy (Carl) together again👍 By the way, I always appreciate your humor - I think the funniest part of the video (at around 16:07), was when you asked Carl “do you always walk like that”, and Carl responded “No”! and you followed up with “you should”! Pure comedic gold😂😂😂 I’m still chuckling as I write this write this🤣 Keep up the great work!!! - Joe (from the US)
I believe legitimate “Humor” is a great way to standout from other professionals in your field. Especially, the self-deprecating variety! Being able to laugh at yourself is a fantastic attribute - not everyone has it. 👍
Thoroughly enjoying your videos, Tom! You have such a great mindset and attitude, it's a joy to watch. Keep up the stunning work, I can't wait for more to come
Means the absolute world, truly. I love making these videos, but knowing people are actually getting something out of them makes it so much more worthwhile. I'll do my best to keep them coming 😁 thank you!
Great video Tom I walk the dog around the reservoir quite a bit and always thought I wouldn’t know where to start with fishing it and don’t really like fishing at long distance, so found this video very interesting with plenty of info about fishing close in 🎣
Cheers Angus! and yeah, I think on most venues people just blast it to the horizon just because they can, however, put the time into the baiting and you can catch them just as easily from the near margin, and a lot more comfortably!
@@tomwilshaw it weren’t so hard when they hadn’t seen hooks, blanked on first trip had 4 on 2nd. To be fair I’d fished it a lot more Pike since late 80s. Me and the old bailiff did Carp with in 1990 but that plan didn’t work so well😂
Cheers mate!!! That's actually something I'm really hoping to do once the season opens, maybe not a campaign-style film this year, but one day - they're SO cool to catch!
It's the scale that scares me, so it was SO useful starting in this small little spot that I could get my head around - so glad it came good. Cheers mate!
Having my job is bittersweet..... Best job in the world, but watching your mates bag up when you can't fish yourself is sometimes torture haha so it was SO cool to have one myself at the end of the trip, made my year to be honest!
Sorry for the multiple comments, but top bombing, Tom. That's great angling. Great to see Carl doin his thing too. His work on that lake was also epic. Pete 🏴
Haha, mate you can comment as MUCH as you like 😉 thanks for the kind words Pete, and I completely agree about the near margin - Most seem to arrive at a lake and wants to blast it into the horizon, often it's just not needed.
You need an Engwe Engine X electric bike, it is designed for off road use, suspension front and back, a nice strong shelf over the rear wheel. You can can all you need on the bike with paniers and the shelf with rod holdall on your back for a day session. Or add a trailer to tow behind that can carry a bedchair and kit for an overnighter or a couple of nights. Good luck!
@@tomwilshaw It should start to pick up July onwards yeah. They are about now but the water is just a muddy smelly mess right now due to the May bloom. Happens every year. I spoke to you about bass on a previous video of yours actually. I have changed my TH-cam name now though haha
Yeah of course!!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! Carp fishing is near and dear to me, but I desperately want to present it in such a way that can be enjoyed by everyone and anyone - Hopefully I can keep that up!
i am always fishing for frequency, i count it as a small loss if i get nothing or just 2-3 carps. I do fish for 7 pounds + and i count a 7pound as a good catch. I might try fishing bigger only like 30+ only. Probably for those sessions is worth going on a 2 nights or more trip, on the water bank.
Fishing in all of its forms is great, I love match style and specimen equally to be honest! Definitely worth chasing a beast at some point, it’s a great experience :)
Hey Tom, great work as usual with the video. Why don't you run a hammock with the tarp fastened higher over the top, that way no punctured air mattresses, and you really don`t have to be that high off the ground, for when you get a bite. Old school style my friend 😄
See that would have saved a lot of hassle... Not least of all, the earwig that crawled into my ear at 2am during that second session 😂 I'm not sure how I'd get on sleeping in a hammock but maybe I'll look into it! The next spot on the res I'm thinking of fishing has some more mature trees, so could be perfect for that :)
Definitely! A good way of doing this is using 'gripper' style leads, and pushing moistened pellets onto it to form a sort of paste - works great for all species, but especially carp!
You are a true cinematographer who happens to enjoy fishing. I feel as if we are in the same boat, however, you are leagues above anything I've ever produced. I can only hope to be 1/4 as good as you in storytelling and content. I don't even like carp, but I can't wait to see the next adventure! Ha, ha, ha!
If I can make someone who doesn’t like carp enjoy one of my carp fishing videos, I reckon I must be doing something right 😂 you’re way too kind mate, love your logo by the way!
@@tomwilshaw Thanks! I've had it for a while now. Made the logo myself. My brother was a graphic artist at a sign company, so maybe it's in my blood a little, ha, ha. Yeah, those carp are bigtime fighters though. That was the best hookup I've ever experienced in my fishing adventures and can be seen on my trailer (maybe as a standout hookup). However, we are in walleye country here and they eat a lot better than carp, which I've never tried. We also have a lot of small mouth bass and northern pike. Next month, I have a planned trip to attempt to catch the only zander in North America at a lake a few hundred miles from me. Looking forward to it. Do you have much for zander around you there in the UK? Again, splendid work all the way around. You might have to make a "how-the-heck-do-think-about-all-those-shots" films for guys like me to wrap my head around all the storytelling elements involved in your productions. I can only imagine a lot of pre-production, storyboards, mood boards, and scripted efforts along with the extreme categorization of old and previous footage on massive raid systems. Ha!
Oh the terabytes of footage I have lying on my desk is insanity! A raid system is the dream, get it all organised one day 😅😅 I’m desperate to get out the states one day to catch some more predator species, one of my favourite channels is Marlin Baits - love watching him catch walleye and smallies, looks like so much fun! We have a few flowing waters in the country that hold Zander, but it’s nothing like Europe - I’ve seen some real monsters come out of Holland for example! Haha, I’ll have to do something like that one day, a bit of a behind the scenes :-)
Nice video and why not take a hammock with you. Some come with an overhead shelter integraeted in them and packs down small and not on the ground to sleep
I think a hammock is probably the one!!!! I'm planning on doing a bit of fishing July there now they're having a chance to spawn, so I'll have to get one for then :) Great idea!
Hahaha no way!!!! I thought I’d gone far enough up to do my own thing 😂 feel a bit bad for making a video about it now 😬 still, that walk will put most off I reckon! Cheers mate, likewise if I’m there and can help you!
@@tomwilshaw oh mate please never feel bad about making videos, I know you’ve had an situation with this before but with me your all good honestly. I did the same I took a bike and started to do laps to find an overgrown section ha. Honestly never feel bad mate it’s all public and it’s all fair game :)
Appreciate your attitude towards it mate 😁 and totally, the fish aren’t dumb, further away you can get from the angling pressure, quite often the better!
Not in any particular way really! I ran a line from two trees, threw the tarp over it to create an 'A', and then lashed down the front corners with guy ropes, and fixed the back down directly. I'm getting a bigger tarp for future sessions as that size wasn't the most comfortable haha, got a bit wet!
Nice, pretty straightforward really. I was thinking about tarp myself but found a £15 tent in Aldi. My walks aren't as long as yours to that spot so a little extra weight isn't an issue.

Fishing in the US for carp, but the method feeders are getting expensive, do you think just packing bait in the weights would work?
Definitely! A good way of doing this is using 'gripper' style leads, and pushing moistened pellets onto it to form a sort of paste - works great for all species, but especially carp!

Get yourself a hammock lad and a bigger tarp the more comfortable you are the long u stay the more carp you catch 👌🏼🎣💪🏼
So true! One night on the floor was almost enough 😅 Maybe a hammock is the way!
I use a hammock and tarp on the rivers regularly and it's the best nights sleep I get and light as a feather to carry .
How did you lash that tarp to your rope? My old bivvy leaks spectacularly.
Not in any particular way really! I ran a line from two trees, threw the tarp over it to create an 'A', and then lashed down the front corners with guy ropes, and fixed the back down directly. I'm getting a bigger tarp for future sessions as that size wasn't the most comfortable haha, got a bit wet!

Where is this res, looks a dream to fish
Get a hammock from DDhammocks they are really good and very lightweight and often come with a small camp tarp for rain
I'll do exactly that :)
Good watch mate, get a Hennessey hammock or something.
Cheers! Oh they look interesting, are they a faff to put up and down?
@@tomwilshaw Compared to your blowup mattress and tarp? Nope!
Vídeo top
thanks so much!!!
Man I love your vids. Love to hear you enjoyed fishing in the Netherands!
Thanks man, and absolutely, can’t wait to go back!!
@@tomwilshaw That would be lovely. Hope to meet you there!
What fishing backpack is that
Korda's Compac 45 :)
@tomwiltshaw thermarest ridgerest under your air mattress for the punctures. Doubles as a seat
That's an edge right there! I'll have to look into one :) makes me wonder though, if somebody shouldn't just combine the two 🤨
@@tomwilshaw you want the ridgerest rugged though. Nothing puncture-able. Then its your chair, kneeling pad, windbreak, sunshield … unhooking mat? 😂
Don’t worry Tom….I lost every single fish I hooked on that lake 😢
How are you so underrated. Your one of the most talented TH-camrs ever.
Way too kind!!! Glad you enjoyed 😁
Agree with you!!
Great vid - what’s with the 2 different voices?
Wasn’t aware there was two different voices 👀 how do you mean?
Aah... the Gordian knot of divining the divine answer.
Some nice fish and one stunner.. you know the one I'm referring to...
ha!! 😂 and absolutely... still made up with that one!
This kind of video/channel should have millions subs..
soooo goood
Maybe one day 😇 thanks so much for the kind words, really encourages me to make more!
Next time don't take a pic just film then screenshot. Great work and great film
Oh how I wish I had haha.... thanks John!
Take a hammock buddy
Would have definitely been the one!
