Quest For A British Record | Oz Holness | Carp Fishing

[@adeworman]

I miss the old days so much. I wasn’t even a full blown Carper. I just miss the old days. When time was time and so much of today’s strife wasn’t there!! Videos like this take you back there. Perfect!!!!

[@DenzelLN936]

Ooo nicely put Sir.

[@mattiemclean9882]

Try not to waste too much time missing the old days. They are gone. Look to the future. Sure its nice to reminisce, and there are loads of great videos just like this one to chose from, but we can't go back however much we would like to. Heres to the future!

[@daveshaw5293]

Theses are the REAL carp angling tales/videos that really get the juices flowing, lakes where PROPER carp anglers have been laney,chilly and oz with real adventures and some absolutely mega fish like 2 tone etc .. these are the tales that I look forward to and the passion in which oz has in his eyes I can relate to which inspires me and helps me improve and motivate as an angler well done on this one 🐟🙏👍

[@daveshaw5293]

@Dezzy Eleven merry Christmas

[@daveshaw5293]

@Dezzy Eleven and happy new year

[@stephenhollinrake4919]

Absolutely brilliant story,, , only ever been a carp stalker with floating baits or sight fishing,, the dedication you proper carp anglers do is borderline mad ,, top vid👌

[@snoopyloopy1197]

Dont usually bother with carp things on youtube anymore but this story had me captivated, I could feel the atmosphere, brilliant!!

[@ronlemon640]

Man I just sat through this entire video and couldn't put the phone down. This was a journey that you took and it all worked out in the end. Absolutely amazing capture to join the handful of anglers to have the tale of everything that goes into catching a fish like that. I'm in the us and have a few ponds where I know there are 60 to 70 pound fish swimming around and not pressured. I've had a couple of friends that want me to try in one of them to catch a pb for sure. I've been lucky enough after 40 years carp fishing to have a 57 lb 14 oz caught in 08. After watching this I feel inspired to give it a shot but I know how much of an undertaking it will be. I've fished the pond many times over the years n not seen any of the larger fish I know are there. It's gonna take a campaign such as yours and time devoted to just that. I only hope if I have the chance that I catch one like you did. It must be soothing to the soul to go back to that place n just sit there and reflect years in the making to know you caught the biggest that was offered at the time. Well done my friend. Well done.

[@jakebaxtersecondnature7898]

Oz holness..can listen to this bloke talk about carp all day! Very experienced angler and his watercraft is next level!

[@pauldaniels9049]

What a great role model for carp angling to the younger generation of carp anglers. Inspiring

[@judderzm2252]

Absolutely love watching Oz fish such a wicked angler I've been fishing since I was 11 years old carp fishing over 30 years last year I had most of my gear nicked apart from 2 rods and a bed chair I haven't been able to afford to replace my stuff yet this year mentally has absolutely ruined me I can't wait to get out again .

[@Walnuts1706]

You need to for your mental health just get down the bank with a rod and reel I’m sure your feel better tight lines

[@1000MILESANDCOUNTING]

living in the USA for many years now and still in pursuits of what we are so passionate about. Growing up right on the door step of the brook. This venue and like many other Kent waters, it’s so nice to enjoy it still from afar.
Thank you for producing this and for sharing with us all. As always a fantastic watch and listen delivered by Oz. 🙌🏻 lovely times.

[@1000MILESANDCOUNTING]

@@Itwasntalieitwastrueinmymind yeah, the genetic chain here in the USA is far from the Uk or European venues standards… by a long way off. One day perhaps… way to much competitive feeding over here… thin the Hurd a little and maybe some better results may be had.

[@justinsteel6360]

Great story oz. And watching you with dear old jim ,emotional, rip little jimbo 🙏

[@neilsmith7547]

What a absolutely brilliant story of one of the greatest carp this country as ever produced. Two tone. Brilliant proper carp anglers. Great story oz of this magnificent fish and your ambition to catch it. Brilliant. 👍🐬💥

[@garysimpson8860]

What a video and goes to show how dedicated these special anglers are , it’s not just buying all the best tackle and looking good it’s all about water craft and getting knowing the fishes habits etc , great video again 👍

[@rjbailey2010]

It's says a lot about the charisma of a story teller that I can sit and eagerly watch this with baited breath for 1hr 20 +! Extraordinary! Apparently the dog doesn't feel the same, however.

[@TheRealWorldHustl]

My uncle was blue you gave me my first glimpse of carp angling I will never be able to thank you enough rip Ian luckhurst you’ll be missed x

[@ozh3013]

God Bless old Blue RIP … proper angler and countryman!

[@richardthompson6698]

Thank you. Inspirational stuff. Makes me wish I’d fished it when I had the chance living in Dartford

[@pokeme8347]

Great achievement, and a brilliant story, that took many minutes, hours, days, years (from travelling, baiting, observing) & much sacrifice to accomplish 👌🤝

[@johnburton894]

Great story Oz. The way you told it fella I was with you all the way. It was like I caught it. What a iconic fish and venue. Burghfield common story next?

[@nigeljackson7005]

Fished it hard for four years, back in the late 90s. Had my first one of joe’s point on the seventh day. For only having twenty fish in the lake they did love too show themselves on a good warm west wind.

[@geoffbrooks5502]

Who the hell gave this a thumbs down? Oz is a fantastic story teller sand a proper angler to boot. Good work Sticky/T A 👍🏻

[@ozh3013]

Cheers Geoff 👍😊

[@JAY.POT.502]

Nice 👌😍

[@Zippo050]

Great story and awesome carp! You told your approach changed when you saw the hookhold of Daryll whcih was barely hooked in front of the mouth. So now I'm wondering, how was the hook set with your approach (long shank slip D) when you caught this fish?

[@Habakukk11]

🎣👌 from Hungary

[@jimbob71]

Great vid but no mention of gary bayes the first to have it over 60lb pretty historic id say home grown 60lb carp new british record !!

[@keithhayward8678]

Was thinking exactly the same thing, you don't ever here about Baysey having it first

[@itsgottabecarpy3994]

Quality

[@alandefreice4657]

I like

[@southeastfibreglassltd9230]

best angler by far,he always gives me the urge to get the rods out!

[@craykooo8947]

Lovely lake. I think it’s amazing how mid Kent have let it go down the pan. Loggy junior really is on a self destruct mission for mid Kent. Allegedly Moving fish legally from other waters and stocking stunted commons into such a prestigious water shows the total
Disregard he has. Oz is too nice to get involved and keeps his head below the parapet but he can’t be happy. A water like that should be a water you nurture and make the most of even when the bigguns are gone. A decent stocking programme over years not a alleged smash and grab from other lakes when you loose the lease. Sooner mid Kent are gone completely the better, then hopefully someone will bring these lakes back to some kind of carp syndicate and make some progress.

[@AaronsAnglingJourney]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ferguson077]

Great vid and story but tbh outside of the conningbrook anglers it became a bit of a joke at the time ..amazing Carp but it got caught too much and at the end the captures were not taken too seriously it was just like oh Two tones out again a few ounces biiger lol Now the Burghfield Common thats a different level

[@lukeframpton3671]

Oz can you tell me a bit about pingewood lagoon did you not do some time on there when the brute was a resident

[@gertygreen7347]

This makes me want to get the old tribal out 😆

[@ozh3013]

Ha ha 😂 showing your age mate !

Thank you Tariq 😊👍

[@lackit7347]

Ahh little jim

[@lackit7347]

Has the lake been restoked scince then

[@ozh3013]

Yes mate a number of new fish have been introduced over the past decade . A higher stock now than ever before but still a challenge I believe 👍

[@clayton96mx]

Oz is the new terry hearn

[@garethdavies9367]

👌🐋

[@vincetanczos]

It's good and everything but I don't know why we have to have bloody stupid music all the time. I prefer a bit of birdsong and the sounds of nature.

[@vincetanczos]

Lol, the music stopped 5 minutes after I wrote that!

[@ozh3013]

😊👍

[@blanketyblank5022]

The real record today is the Wingham carp that was unclaimed and that will likely never be broken by a born and bred UK carp.

[@danielferrar9425]

Talkin crap thought i was guna see a fish just watchin him babble on

[@sdn1528]

What a story 👍👍👍
