It's all in the editing obviously, matt was after the money that comes with a multi-show series on the telly..... Carl does it for the love of fishing and maybe just to showcase the amazing fish species that are available to catch in the UK 🤷♂️ it's videos like THIS..... That will get the younger generation interested in fishing and keep the sport going. Great video again Carl, keep em coming
The fact that this was filmed in august and its relesed now in november just shows how much time he spends on making the best videos for our amusement. Thank you for it.
i am sorry for the loss of your friend. i think he will be proud of you for making these videos and inspiring others to go fishing. The video's was great. Makes me wanna do a multi species hunt here in Holland. Till the next video :D
You won't remember me but the junior comps I used to compete in against you! Junior matches at pennybridge and various other waters with Roger leading the line in promoting fishing with the youth around town is something to remember. I'm still local and still a member at this club to this day. Can't beat your younger years learning on these lakes. Various people including Roger taught me alot growing up, right till now setting up my own fishing business for beginners and novices to encourage people to get out fishing and achieve their goals. A true gent and it's nice to see how many people he helped! Great video again Carl 🎣
Matt Hayes and Mick Brown vibes from back in the day, maybe you and Cal should do the "greatest rod race" haha maybe Matt and Mick would turn up for an episode :D
Carl & Cal vs Matt & Mick, that would be massive, but can’t help but want to see Alex back for that one! Carl you have to make that happen, & I’m sure you can! Great work, and my condolences.
Carl not only are you a great angler , but your character and your heart make a positive difference, keep up the good work and encouraging those kids you meet along the way, top work 😎🎣❤️
Fantastic video Carl. For me it was my Grandad who took me to a local canal when I was 5. We had got a small tin of maggots from a local farmer who always hung a dead sheep up in his barn and allowed children to come and take the maggots for free ! We sat on the canal and the first time I saw my quill go under and the feeling of hooking in to a small roach was indescribable, as I sat there I asked my |Grandad if there was any pike in the canal. He said if I put my hand in the canal andd lost a finger there was aone, 2 fingers there was two etc. I sat there dunking my hand in the water and pulling it out telling my grandad there was no pike in the canal !!!!!!!!!!
Rest in peace Roger. I started watching you and Alex many years ago and loved your videos from tanyards. It looked like such a great place and you guys always seemed to enjoy it, I put it on my bucket lists of places to fish. I moved to Brighton in 2016 and took up fishing again and popped up to tanyards and I was not disappointed, it was great to see you back there (now renamed) at the start of the video. I never had the pleasure of meeting Roger on any of my trips there but heard a few good things about him from the people there. He will be greatly missed.
Big love to Rodger , he started god knows how many kids and people down the path of a tranquil and exciting lifestyle of fishing the beutiful wilds and waterways of the world. People like Rodger are those salt of the earth men whom we never forget. Fantastic video.
The film making, the adventure, the ups and the downs, this video trumps any of your previous and it’s a testament to your commitment to the game. Absolutely fantastic work mate I really really enjoyed that one. Looking forward to getting back out on the bank with you and cal again hopefully soon! Big ups
Every part of this video was an absolute joy, Carl and a wonderful tribute to Roger. I think it's safe to say he was proud of the angler you are today.
That was an amazingly difficult challenge to set yourself, and though it might have been your guide that got the sea trout, we saw all the species brought to bank. I'm sure Roger would have been very proud, and this video is a very fitting tribute to him. I lost my dad earlier this year, and although we rarely fished together he was my inspiration. We never got our last trip together, he got a carp pole set up and I was going to take him out and try to catch his first pole carp (he was a sea angler, and rarely course fished), but we never got to do it. First Lock down, then leukemia before finally Covid got him. I took his caravan and just his tackle to a campsite with a lake, where I had the most emotional days fishing, and one of my best ever total catch weights of pole caught carp.
Just wanted to stop in and make another comment; This video was seriously incredible. No joke, I don't think I've ever felt this inspired, hopeful, and just happy from one youtube video. That little ending bit was very touching, I genuinely just can't overstate how much I enjoyed this. Props. Hope you enjoyed making it.
Carl this is just mind boggling to watch how much you have grown and how you can do this now that you have built a community I started fishing nearly 11 years ago I’m now 15 and I wanted to stop fishing after a Tim got bored as I just wasn’t catching then I started watching your and Alex’s videos a couple years ago and now I’m booked on to fish road lake in gigantica but thank you for everything and we can all tell you truly try your hardest these vids
Sick session mate, the amount of planning and dedication you needed to make this video! I wish I was as good at fishing as you are! Keep up the great videos and enjoy your Christmas!
Hi Rob here true story to took the kids out sunday we all got sick well i watch alot of traveling shows fish camping etc anyway over sleep i woke up to this guy Name alex and he was traveling then he did a Q&A and he mention you i have been searching for this kind of fishing fun for 4 years now Fishing has not been the same since i lost my son your joy and your energy reminds me so much of him thanks for helping this father to find his passion again
Carl that was one of your best. Absolutely brilliant. The thanks you give Roger is amazing to see in today's world. 🙌 thanks for sharing your feelings for everyone to see. Keep up the amazing work you do. But mostly keep inspiring all to get out there and fish ..
A brilliant tribute to your friend Roger, and he would be very proud of how your inspiring the next generation of younger anglers. Keep up the brilliant work
Once again Carl , an amazing video , the way you can portray a story and an adventure in a video with the camera shots and dialogue in such a way is astounding. Always waiting for the next upload from you and your brother. Much love from Ireland , you should definitely visit for the fishing here , just a stones throw away for a nice fishing holiday/video. Also sorry for your loss.
As an American fisherman, the differences between the two different areas of fishing are quite cool and unique, incredible gadgets, I learned a lot from this video!
I only started fishing this summer with my little lad, your videos are an inspiration, i must have watched your tutorials at least a dozen times each and owe most of my fishing knowledge to your videos, this video was a fantastic watch, I thoutoughly enjoy all the content you put out, thank you for the time you take not only for entertainment but also the knowledge you impart to others. My sincerest condolences on the loss of your Mentor and Friend Roger ❤
how are you not on tele i will never know, am 52 and its so nice to see young people doing so well for our sport, ive followed from nearly day one years ago and you and your brother do such a amazing job. thanks 4 posting guys.
So sad to hear about Roger - but just look at his legacy - and you're paying it forward as his memory lives on. And a marvellous adventure video too - go get some sea trout!
Truly awesome video as always! They are always a joy to watch. So sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. Keep passing on what you learned from Roger and keep his spirit alive!
For me, my first fish ever were 5 bass, i was living in Cornwall at the time and my grandfather was helping me with my casts, im so grateful that he helped me. Your videos inspire me :)
Lovely video can’t say I truely had a Roger but did have a neighbour who took me fishing to catch my first Roach on the local canal , I’d like to think that I was an Uncle Mark to my nephew who I fished with for ten years until he was 16 and whenever I see him we reminisce, his love of the outdoors has seen him progress to wild camping and swimming and next week I’ll be dropping off an old telescopic rod and a box of small lures as he wants to catch and cook some trout from small streams in the hills and mountains he now visits . Great video really enjoyed it .
I was at home fighting a bad bout of the flu as Well as depression, you don’t know how happy your videos make me, I kind of just want to get a line in the water except it’s winter in the states. Thank you for the videos.
Some amazing fun and fishing but so sad your mentor Roger didn't get to see it as you say. A few years back I took a young teenager Kal fishing doing a similar thing but over a much longer time. What a revelation that was, more enjoyable than years of specimen hunting. Unfortunately Kal passed away not even into his 20s after a tragic accident but I take comfort in knowing that we shared such fun times over his relatively short life. Such a natural angler, not many have caught a 30lb plus canal carp for instance. The renewed fun of fishing for species variety will stay with me always. Loved the video, even the eels. After many years wearing eel bracelets I now handle them with ease. Just cut a shallow V trench in the earth, slide your eel into it upside down then run a finger along its belly slowly nose to tail. Somehow it sends them into a trance like state and easy to handle!
Old vibes from back in the day trying to get all the badges from improve your course fishing magazine. Honestly think this is the best angling video I have seen on TH-cam. Roger would be proud. Can't wait to see what's next.
I think what makes your videos so inspiring is your tenacity. You don't give up, you just change up the tactics. You always give it your all, that's something you don't see a lot of nowadays. Plus, you treat the fish with respect and dignity. It is of utmost importance to respect the animals that we are fishing and hunting, especially catch and release.
my 6 year son loves watching this video he's watch it like 100 times over now he cant wait to get on the bank again. I'm mainly a carp angler so teaching my son mainly carp but no he's like I want to catch a bream, roach and so on. so thank you for making him aware of the so more species out there.
Another cracking video , you are the only fishing person i currently subscribe to on youtube for the simple reason that it genuine and honest. You have the highs and the lows of each trip and the edits are bang on. Great job guys
What a fantastic video, Carl! I love the schoolkid enthusiasm the both of you felt after yet another special catch. What a wonderful, truly fitting and moving end to the story. Most of us have a person that guided us into the magical world that's called fishing!
Dang, absolutely phenomenal video. I love your content because as a man of the U.S, it's so cool to see the species you all have in the UK. And they're all so unique and different from what we have here, and yet you guys also have stuff we have, like perch, pike, and trout. Great stuff man, hopefully I'll be able to visit the UK and do some fishing someday!
absolutely one of the finest fishing shows ive ever seen, really, really enjoyable. i live abroad at the minute and am missing getting the rods out with my mates, this took me back to it. well in boys
This took me back, it's been a while since I have been to some of these lakes. I still remember fishing with you and Alex at the lake in Hartfield, must have been 15 years ago when we were all young! Keep up the great work with these videos, they're brilliant!
Mega video Carl I am sure your friend Roger will be very proud of you and how you help so many people including the younger generation, keep doing what you do buddy it’s truly great 👍
Brilliant video sad to hear Roger didn't make it I started watching your videos when I was 23 when I bought a cheap float rod im now 25 and own 7 rods for all different types of fishing and thats all because of you and Alex, the ginger fisherman Chris and snagged bro Tom and Sean
Its more than just fishing-its about respecting the very source that created ,nourished and sustained all life . RIP Roger. great job of passing on the torch.
Cracking video and entertaining watch and to only miss out by one fish is not bad going Matt Hayes and mick brown would salute you Carl. My condolences on the loss of such a good friend, mentor and by the sound of great bloke all round I don't mind admitting when his name popped up at the end with the years of his life I got a little teary may he rest in peace.
For me it was seeing my dad playing a fishing game on his phone, so he took me to this commercial and i loved it. Back when my dad set up my rods, reels, floats, hooks and literally i just sat there and got it handed to me. Best thing aswell, didnt have to deal with all the tangles i got into 😂
Ideally Carl what you wanna be doing for eels is using drop off indicators like you would for pike. Essentially scaled down pike fishing except the trebles etc. That would probably help with the dropped runs. You can also make rigs with a little bar on it. To avoid deep hooking them :)
My condolences on the loss of your friend. And I love watching your videos been watching them for 3 years or so now. Keep up the great work. Claude Ontario Canada
Honestly mate out done your self on this one. What a wicked watch. Been watching since the start and honestly been such a pleasure pal such a top lad working hard to achieve his dreams, yet still so humble and takes so much time out to help young anglers class all round 👏🏻👏🏻 RIP to your buddy Roger very sad news 💙
Thoroughly enjoyed that Carl. So sorry to hear the loss of your old friend Roger. I had a similar old boy who inspired me when I was a kid and this year, I finally tracked down his son, my old friend and neighbour, Kes Gray the children's author. We met up for a drink and went fishing again and it turns out his son is Cypography's Elliot Gray.
I'm so glad you guys visited my local (and my favourite) river for Chub and Barbel. I fish that stretch a few times a month and it never ceases to amaze me the stamp of fish that little river so regularly presents. Chris is a legend around here too.
This was a great video...I'm stoked you managed to (nearly) complete the challenge, that was no mean feat you set yourself. I'm gutted that your friend didn't make it..... I guess he's kicking back by a lake somewhere with wet lines and screaming reels.
I've not completed the list over all my years fishing. Haven't had a barbel yet but that one you got was a beauty. I may have to search one out myself.
Hi Carl! I found your channel just in that moment when Alex decided to go his own TH-cam way. I'm a mostly predator angler & fishing guide in southern Sweden, with roots in Poland. I planned to comment many of your film productions before, but my english dictionary is not so good to describe all my feelings. You're doing the massive job, your movies are so perfect made then every detail counts! It's much better an any tv nature movie production and most important - this is the really truth! Fishes, nature, trips and the way you're mixing this together is just brilliant! Like I said - I'm mostly the predator guy, but with big pleasure I'm backing time on your TH-cam channel and discover this movies one after another. Wish you all the best in future! Ps. Merry Xmas & Happy New year🤗/Pexfish
Absolutely love crays, I've the biggest blue I have ever seen, not even local fish stores have seen them as big as her. So much character, amazing lil personality and incredibly intelligent. On the other hand, if I pulled one out of a lake I'd want to run the signs over on the way out lmao Edit: they have cats too? Miss my air breather, he was brill. Maybe I'd accept the crays at that point lol Sorry about your pal Roger, seems that he was a good mentor and that he had a big part to play in this channel without realizing.
Your ability to combine great fishing and fantastic videography with beautiful dialogue/storytelling never ceases to amaze me. Well done lads. P.S: Sea Trout are basically just Sea-migrating Brown Trout so you shouldn’t be to hard on yourself seeing as you already had a Brown.
you’re doing roger proud mate. caught my first couple of perch this past weekend at my local quarry thanks to your videos. you’re smashing it keep it up 👍
For those who watched the Great rod race it’s actually incredible at a lad can just smash it out on TH-cam in 50mins. Well done.
Used to love watching matt and the duke back in the day.
The duke was great to watch in the good old days

It's cause he didn't have mick brown with him haha xD All legends of course :D
@@markphillips6998 Carl earns a living from making TH-cam videos. He’s not doing it for free mate
The fact that this was filmed in august and its relesed now in november just shows how much time he spends on making the best videos for our amusement. Thank you for it.

❤️❤️❤️ Thanks mate. Hugely appreciate that, it does take time to make films like this.
Things take a long time to do, well done.
Thank you :)

Don’t you need to set the hook?

Sea trout and brown trout are actually the same species (genetically). So basically you completed the challenge ☺️
U are absolutely right Gunter!
Spot on 👌
but they got reclassified sea trout as salmo trutta morpha trutta to make a distinction
A true river angler knows they may share the same second name but they are very very different.
White and black people are the same species
That was the best behaved grayling I’ve ever seen. Often they’re impossible to hold for a photo. I’m also sorry to hear about your friend Carl
❤️ Thanks Paul
Wow! Thats a lot of planning and dedication. Hope you had as much fun fishing as I had watching . Brilliant video !

Wow what a watch. Brilliant 50 mins of you tube. And it just about fishing. No rigs or brands. Outstanding Gents
Cheers Dave :) means a lot
Happy Christmas every one,hope you all catch loads of fish
Thanks mate💪🎣 hope you will catch good to👍
Same to you.
Working in a tackle shop this and the tutorials page are the only online advice I recommend to new anglers and it’s a blessing.
❤️ Thank you! Really appreciate that :)
This was a brilliant video. Thoroughly entertaining and informative.
So sorry about your mentor. RIP.

Thanks so much Fran, means a lot.
Has anyone seen a man named Gavin?
Hahaha no way, have you picked up RDR2 again recently, started fishing on it and decided to get into fishing?
I saw him in Blackwater
@@MammothTask i saw him in saint denis
Yea
He was in valentine
If I could turn back time, I would have loved this challenge, full watched to the very end, full respect to you guys, and a massive well done.

Always waiting for the next upload from you and your brother. Much love from Ireland , you should definitely visit for the fishing here , just a stones throw away for a nice fishing holiday/video.

What a fabulous film!!! I've been fishing for 50 years now and I know that it's not just about the fish...... it's being there. Great video.
Definitely! Thank you :) Glad you enjoyed it!
Your choices of words for narrating are quite pleasing in the ears and made me enjoy the video. Thank you and more power to you! ✨

my 6 year son loves watching this video he's watch it like 100 times over now he cant wait to get on the bank again. I'm mainly a carp angler so teaching my son mainly carp but no he's like I want to catch a bream, roach and so on. so thank you for making him aware of the so more species out there.
That is awesome! You;re so welcome. Happy to hear he's enjoying it!! :)
Another cracking video , you are the only fishing person i currently subscribe to on youtube for the simple reason that it genuine and honest. You have the highs and the lows of each trip and the edits are bang on. Great job guys
Ahh thank you so much ❤ Heppy you like the films!
What a fantastic video, Carl! I love the schoolkid enthusiasm the both of you felt after yet another special catch. What a wonderful, truly fitting and moving end to the story. Most of us have a person that guided us into the magical world that's called fishing!
Dang, absolutely phenomenal video. I love your content because as a man of the U.S, it's so cool to see the species you all have in the UK. And they're all so unique and different from what we have here, and yet you guys also have stuff we have, like perch, pike, and trout. Great stuff man, hopefully I'll be able to visit the UK and do some fishing someday!
absolutely one of the finest fishing shows ive ever seen, really, really enjoyable. i live abroad at the minute and am missing getting the rods out with my mates, this took me back to it. well in boys
Wow, thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it! Glad it brought back good times for you mate
That was amazing Carl, top work there. Your videos are an inspiration to all.
This took me back, it's been a while since I have been to some of these lakes.
I still remember fishing with you and Alex at the lake in Hartfield, must have been 15 years ago when we were all young!
Keep up the great work with these videos, they're brilliant!
Mega video Carl I am sure your friend Roger will be very proud of you and how you help so many people including the younger generation, keep doing what you do buddy it’s truly great 👍
Brilliant video sad to hear Roger didn't make it I started watching your videos when I was 23 when I bought a cheap float rod im now 25 and own 7 rods for all different types of fishing and thats all because of you and Alex, the ginger fisherman Chris and snagged bro Tom and Sean
Its more than just fishing-its about respecting the very source that created ,nourished and sustained all life . RIP Roger. great job of passing on the torch.
Cracking video and entertaining watch and to only miss out by one fish is not bad going Matt Hayes and mick brown would salute you Carl.
My condolences on the loss of such a good friend, mentor and by the sound of great bloke all round I don't mind admitting when his name popped up at the end with the years of his life I got a little teary may he rest in peace.
❤️❤️❤️ Thanks Albie
You deffinitley helped me get into fishing . Some great memorys to come thanks to you . Vids are allways great and really enjoyable .
Ahh super happy to hear that :) fishing does makes so many good memories. Love that about it. Tight lines!
For me it was seeing my dad playing a fishing game on his phone, so he took me to this commercial and i loved it. Back when my dad set up my rods, reels, floats, hooks and literally i just sat there and got it handed to me. Best thing aswell, didnt have to deal with all the tangles i got into 😂
What a fantastic film guys!!!
Cheers David! 😊
Jumping for the Barbel and Chris straight in there with you 🤣 brilliant upload fantastic again, a great upload and tribute to your friend 👍🏻
Thank you :)
Ideally Carl what you wanna be doing for eels is using drop off indicators like you would for pike. Essentially scaled down pike fishing except the trebles etc. That would probably help with the dropped runs. You can also make rigs with a little bar on it. To avoid deep hooking them :)
My condolences on the loss of your friend. And I love watching your videos been watching them for 3 years or so now. Keep up the great work.

Thanks so much Claude. Appreciate it :)
Great job on the new vid! We have so much to learn from You, keep it up!
Great film mate you smashed it. Roger would be proud of what you have achieved for the sport 👍
❤️ cheers Dale, means a lot
Honestly mate out done your self on this one. What a wicked watch. Been watching since the start and honestly been such a pleasure pal such a top lad working hard to achieve his dreams, yet still so humble and takes so much time out to help young anglers class all round 👏🏻👏🏻 RIP to your buddy Roger very sad news 💙
❤ Thank you. Ah wow, that's super kind of you. Happy you enjoyed it!
Thoroughly enjoyed that Carl.
So sorry to hear the loss of your old friend Roger.
I had a similar old boy who inspired me when I was a kid and this year, I finally tracked down his son, my old friend and neighbour, Kes Gray the children's author. We met up for a drink and went fishing again and it turns out his son is Cypography's Elliot Gray.
❤️ Thank you mate. sorry to hear that. Oh no way :)
@@fishwithcarl Small world huh.
I guess you probably know Elliot?
Absolutely fantastic watch! 😎 Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend and mentor 🙏🏼 Tight lines bud! 🎣
❤️ Thank you
I'm so glad you guys visited my local (and my favourite) river for Chub and Barbel. I fish that stretch a few times a month and it never ceases to amaze me the stamp of fish that little river so regularly presents. Chris is a legend around here too.
Yesss! Love it. Crazy how alive it is.
This is the best fishing video I've seen so far, Not screaming for every catch But also entertaining as well.
Wow, thank you! Really glad to hear that :)
This was a great video...I'm stoked you managed to (nearly) complete the challenge, that was no mean feat you set yourself. I'm gutted that your friend didn't make it..... I guess he's kicking back by a lake somewhere with wet lines and screaming reels.
I've not completed the list over all my years fishing.
Haven't had a barbel yet but that one you got was a beauty. I may have to search one out myself.
Hi Carl! I found your channel just in that moment when Alex decided to go his own TH-cam way. I'm a mostly predator angler & fishing guide in southern Sweden, with roots in Poland. I planned to comment many of your film productions before, but my english dictionary is not so good to describe all my feelings. You're doing the massive job, your movies are so perfect made then every detail counts! It's much better an any tv nature movie production and most important - this is the really truth! Fishes, nature, trips and the way you're mixing this together is just brilliant! Like I said - I'm mostly the predator guy, but with big pleasure I'm backing time on your TH-cam channel and discover this movies one after another. Wish you all the best in future! Ps. Merry Xmas & Happy New year🤗/Pexfish
Thank you for the lovely comment! I really appreciate it. All the best with your fishing and merry xmas to you too :) Carl
Well done Chris for helping out he's a great fisherman himself I watch daily
Absolutely love crays, I've the biggest blue I have ever seen, not even local fish stores have seen them as big as her. So much character, amazing lil personality and incredibly intelligent.
On the other hand, if I pulled one out of a lake I'd want to run the signs over on the way out lmao
Edit: they have cats too? Miss my air breather, he was brill. Maybe I'd accept the crays at that point lol
Sorry about your pal Roger, seems that he was a good mentor and that he had a big part to play in this channel without realizing.
your a great person carl and a great angler too boot that was super enjoyable thanks so much for sharing your fishing life with us
Your ability to combine great fishing and fantastic videography with beautiful dialogue/storytelling never ceases to amaze me. Well done lads.
P.S: Sea Trout are basically just Sea-migrating Brown Trout so you shouldn’t be to hard on yourself seeing as you already had a Brown.
Wow, thank you. Appreciate it.
One of the best videos ever on the channel imo, really enjoyed it keep up the great work.
Wow, thank you mate, happy to hear it
you’re doing roger proud mate. caught my first couple of perch this past weekend at my local quarry thanks to your videos. you’re smashing it keep it up 👍
Thanks so much dude ❤️ Well done!!!
Rest easy Roger ❤. Thank you as always Carl, for a wonderfully brilliant film. x
❤️❤️❤️
Wow, that's a lot of fish for a week! Amazing, keep it up!
