I’ve been into carp fishing nearly 40 years. Mark is without doubt in a league of his own. I was lucky enough to attend one of his slide shows in Norwich a few years ago, his knowledge and out of the box thinking is simply outstanding 🎣
36lb 2oz me being 62 that's how i grew up carp fishing, big lakes and hard lakes you learn so much when you have to work for it, great video could listen to him all day
Great content. Mark Holmes is the man, I could listen to him all day. 10 minutes of his insights are worth hundreds of hours of the same regurgitated stuff from other anglers who think they are legends in their own lunchtimes. This is the kind of content that will grow your popularity Hassan. Good luck with the growth, and get Holmsy on regularly!
Mark Holmes is one of a few alnglers I will actually listen to, I listened to his talk at the big one fishing show this year. He's an outstanding angler .
Excellent video guys,I could listen to Mark Holmes talk about fishing all day long, he is a top bloke and a legend in my eyes.👍👍👍💥💥💥💥 The fish was 36:2lbs💥💥💥🤞🤞🤞
19 minutes in and all I can say is what a absolute legend. I dont rate captures from abroad. Dam mark sounds just like my grandad when he was getting me into carp fishing what a geezer. Now back to the film 🎣🎣🎣
36lb 2oz being from Yorkshire myself mark lives 5 mins from me in a west Yorkshire and over the yrs mark has shaped my angling and listening to him and inputting his advice into my own fish has accounted for many of my better captures be lucky everyone
"The Beast" weighted a not too shabby 36Lb 2oz 💪🏻⚖️ I've really enjoyed this film, so much so that I've saved it in a playlist to watch again and take notes! 🤓 I'm sure that this coaching from Mark will work with other fish, too. As an all-rounder and avid Barbel angler, and Barbel being Cyprinid species, there's information here I can't ignore... I'm now going to have to search for more of Mark's content and wisdom. 👌🏻🎓 Thanks both for packing so much valuable information in this film, and for the mere cost of 1:28.03 of my time! 🙏🏻👍🏻
Love a Holmesy video…always thought provoking and entertaining in equal measure. “Three and a half foot hooklink with a four inch hair and a 28mm boilie.” Great stuff! 👊
What a fantastic insight into big carp fishing. Everything Mark said was simple and straight to the point and was refreshing to hear in an industry that can get you overthinking in a second. 36lb 2oz and a day ticket to a venue of Marks choosing for the big giveaway :D
The fish was a beauty at 36lb 2oz 🤩 Really enjoyed this video, I've been out of carp fishing for a few decades now and have recently got back into it, taking my son and daughter out for a few nights this summer. Proper wholesome family time with a backdrop of fishing! It's been a minefield learning the game again by watching all the current content and I've been blown away with all the new rigs and components. I'm sure it was much more simple all those years ago 🤔 Really nice to watch this and see a different approach that doesn't involve buying everything the tackle shop stocks!! 😅
What a refreshing video from a refreshingly real old school angler. Loved every minute of it, from an old school yateley boy. Anglers like you will always be relevant and have something to say worth listening to
What a great bloke..never had a chance to meet you, but it was a pleasure to be part of shimano isolate team with you and I learnt alot through your fishing and what you had to say in the group... Top man and top angler!
36lb 2oz new to big carp angling just bagged my first syndicate at a local reservoir with some absolute stunning fish . Love capital carp videos I've learnt at lot thank you all the best 😊
36lb 2oz. Another fantastic video. Mark is a mine of information, his no nonsense way of passing on his knowledge is refreshing. I'll definitely be using garlic more often, it's something I've overlooked in my own fishing
36lb 2oz of Yorkshire gold was a apsalute grate film to watch and iv learnt loads from this and I'm going to use these edges in my fishing as my pb being 28lb 8oz and hopefully have a better chance of smashing it now and would apsalutly love the 5kg of trigger ice
You’re a legend Mr Holmes…. Patience is key… 🔑 with a stroke of luck…. 20mins or 20yrs you will still be doing your form of graft (thats not graft 😂) ❤
36lb 2oz of beautiful mirror carp well done holmesy great to spend an hour and half with you and hassan on the bank, nice one lads, keep on keeping on👊
36lb 2oz And for the big comp winner I think a session on the bank would be great , will last a lift time and get a chance to learn from you guys . Tackle baits etc change over the years but a on the bank session is priceless
really really interesting vid - thank you lads. Re prizes - electric barrow, decent baitboat, casting lessons, fishing session with you and Mark - 36lb 2oz
Knotford Lagoon is my new home from the beginning of this year, I love the place. Had a few low 20's out of there so far and they're absolutely cracking looking fish. The big brute weighed 36 pound 2 ounces. Hopefully I catch that pretty soon too. Great video really enjoyed it 🎣🎣
The carp weighed 36lb 2oz a what a carp that was well done 👏 great video really enjoyed watching this he's such a wealth of knowledge Mark Holmes your a legend
36lb 2oz I’ve never heard of mark holmes but that was probably the most intriguing and humble perspective I’ve been exposed to definitely using some of that knowledge on my next trip.
36lb 2oz what a great video , Mark Holmes is a legend been following him for years learnt a lot from his tactics keep the films coming Hassan you need to do more video ,s with Holmes
36lb 2oz. I loved the fact he fishes with what works, not what the media tells you should use. I hope people picked up on one of his last comments 'It's just fishing'. More content like this please.
36.02lb really enjoyed this video, Holmesey is a proper old school carp angler with a wicked sense of humour. You done a great job with hassan you clicked really with Mark. Great content
What a gorgeous carp, im well surprised. I used to fish there as an occasional winter small fish water in the 80s. Interesting video, makes a real change from the kordaesque type of vid
I was fishing in the next swim when they were filming this, had a good chat with them both lovely guys. You can even see my gray van in the overhead footage. Nearly famous 😂😂😂
Hassam, thank you for a great presentation. Mark, I've never heard of you fella, but I like your style. Learned SUCH a lot from that video. Thankyou. The fish was 36lb 2oz by the way. Can I have me prize now? I'm off tomorrow.
36lb 2oz he is a great thinker and explainer. I love the innovative things he comes up with. I hold my hands up and thought he jumped companies too often but I have noticed he still uses the same tactics that he has always used and doesn't jump on the latest bandwagons. U do u.
36lb2oz 👍💥used to fish there in the late 80’s early 90’s when it was full of single figure fish and it was quiet on the Leeds knotford lake .... always fun for a quick bite
36lb 2 and what an interesting watch loved the point mark made about being relative i fish once a fortnight and lucky if I put 2kg in when I go so made sense to me
You'll never skip a mark Holmes video, along with the likes of Frank Warwick and Daryl Peck they get you thinking and provide a new perspective on this wonderful hobby.

Holmsey is hilarious he is always entertaining and interesting good on you boys x
Marks one of the best in the game in my opinion. A 48hour tuition with mark would be a brilliant prize. 👏👏👏
