Carl , in my honest opinion, your videos have become as good as if not better than most TV shows. The quality is brilliant, and other than Bob and Paul in Gone Fishing you are the man . Keep up the great job mate 🍻👍🏼
Thank you so much Steve! Glad you think so :) tight lines mate !
True words❤

Carl is a lot better at fishing but the production is beautiful
@fishwithcarl a great video as always good job carl
Fair play to you for giving it a go. I took up match fishing after 25+ years of pleasure angling. It’s a massive step to take and a whole different mentality, and I’m only fishing at club level. The golden rule I was told at the start of my journey is never tell the truth (about your catch. Or your tactics) and never believe what others tell you (about their catch or tactics). It has served me well over the last couple of years! 😂
In all seriousness though, once you get past the nerves and self consciousness of fishing shoulder to shoulder with some very competent match anglers, it really does force you to think about how you’re fishing and it’s done more to improve my fishing than any amount of books/magazines/videos have ever done. Plus, that first time you frame, even if the prize is a mere tenner is an awesome feeling. Still waiting to get my first win (I’ve been within 2oz), but I’ll get there!
Great video as always!
Carl,
I hope you understand that from my view point this is the greatest compliment i could give.
As a 10 year old, John Wilson’s Go Fishing was my world. I would watch episodes whilst sorting takle with my Dad the night before every session.
I still have VHS tapes recorded from TV that i’ll put on now and again (im 35 next month).
Nowadays my 10 year old son watches you (and Alex) constantly, and we pick a few episodes to watch together whilst we no get ready the night before.
Now… we live in Qld Australia now, so your content is somewhat irrelevant to the fishing here, yet it still gets us going each time.
Thanks for being a part of my son’s future nostalgia when i’m no longer there to take a trip to the bank :)
that's epic from one queenslander to another
@@kenderman75I’m probably his only subscriber from WA. 😂
@@EzraSwannellFishing surfers paradise here
john wilson was fkn useless lol!!
Adelaide. South Australia here.
The fact Carl consistently pumps out content that is miles above 90% of the TV being made and with such a small team is insanity
His potential is literally limitless
wow that's super kind of you ❤ thanks man!
You clearly watch to much TV ... Read educate yourself
@@LoneWolfLifeStyle2 and it's *Too
Educate yourself
@@fishwithcarl It's the truth Carl! I cant watch videos this long EVER, yet you get me hook (get it?) everytime
@aboutMMA_ it's and educate yourself
Bloody awesome Carl. What ever it is you’ve got it. You’re becoming the new John Wilson. He was so watchable just like you and your team. Keep up the good work it’s so appreciated.
❤
In USA we have really only few major tournaments and they are carp-specific. About 100 hours of straight match fishing on wild rivers, which can be extremely unpredictable. Fish, Bears, Spiders, you name it - it is a bit of extreme angling with a dash of adrenaline and a chance to win about 6k-12 USD. I suggest everyone should try it at least once, but it is definitely rough on the body and the mind. Having recently fished for 15 days and night straight on a lake I can say that coffee is the answer to all the problems lol. Too bad you got that one fish snagged, but still, you were very close in the end...perhaps that's what hurts the most sometimes.. Best of luck Carl and tight lines mate. Rafal.
Oh wowwww that sounds awesome. Yes definitely hurts more to get so close. Thanks so much Rafal!! Tight lines mate :)
My dad was a match angler and remember him telling me tales about winning with small silvers. I enjoy pleasure fishing, I only started up again properly this year and have had some great sessions on my own and with friends. Even when I blank, that time spent outside engaging with your surroundings is priceless. Like you said at the end, fishing is what you make it and for me the removal of life’s stresses for a few hours is cathartic
Following in alexes old footsteps I see haha! Great film as always Carl. Reason why were here in this sport. Big dreams to meet you one day Carl!
Same not been fishing for yrs....thought about starting up again few times but adult life means not much time for it......skill and knowledge is definitely a factor but there's certainly an element of luck too.......I seem to catch nothing or the entire river!!!
Watching this as a US bass, trout, and snakehead nerd is fascinating. It's an entire different skillset you guys work with, it's so cool
out here we fish for carp with spears and bows lol
Geat video, Carl! Being a former match angler, I know that diving into the match scene as a newbie is no walk in the park. If you're a decent angler, you can rock it when you're in your element, fishing the waters you know and love. It's all about that know-how!
But to keep knocking it out of the park in different waters, with various fishing styles, tackling different species, and handling all the different situations you might face, you've gotta clock in those years and years of experience.
I'd love to see you giving it more tries in the future. You've got the gear you need now, and the best guys to support you, for sure! Keep up the great work!
This is the only Chanel with long videos, of which i watch every single one in full length!
Thx for the great content and greetings from Germany.
Thanks mate ❤ Glad you enjoy the film!
Awesome vid as always Carl
Hats off to the match men, catching as many as quickly as possible is a skill in itself but takes the fun out of fishing when there’s pressure and money involved. Pleasure and specimen fishing is definitely the best in my opinion.
They see the younger version of themself in you Carl. Great to see them helping you out to get going. I'm not that into competition fishing but any Carl video is worth the watch. Which you showed us again.
Thanks.
The balls it take to put yourself out on youtube from zero! Respect man and you are a great great fisherman! Literally best RUclipsr too!
It's really cool to see an insight into Match Fishing.. I've always been curious to what it's like, and thankfully your video has saved me the effort of failing miserably and wasting thousands of pounds.
Love the vids Carl, and thank you for spending months creating this film!
Well said. My work sponsored a corporate day of “ team bonding” match fishing. The company accountant a keen match angler. The thought of getting almost a paid day to fish was a no brainier. Except as you hint here it didn’t turn out that way. To get prepared I laid out so much cash for “ second string” gear, the base station, pole rollers, a second hand match pole. The match was pole only, if I could have feeder fished I would have had a better chance. I entered our annual corporate pole match for 3 years, practicing in between. Got absolutely nowhere,never framed let alone win one. I caught but those around me caught faster, kept several “lines going”, knew when to switch from the far to near margin for the big ones better. My feeding way OK. In some ways knowledge of carp fishing bait additives really got the fish feeding. But I didn’t understand that getting a feeding frenzy could be a mistake bringing fish up in the water causing too many to be foul hooked and spooked. I am left with nearly £1,000 worth of pole gear I hardly use, which is rapidly becoming out of date. I have no side pullers for instance. You are right,unless you have a link to sponsorship and it doesn’t become a risky cash investment in the right gear otherwise, best to save your money, stick to the pleasure fishing you know.
As a match angler this film was right up my peg! Big fan of Matt and Rooney. Would love to see more content like this, maybe try tackling a a match on a commercial venue on the pole would be amazing! Well done on coming so heartbreakingly close though hope you have another go in The future!
Ditto..
Awesome effort Carl! So close at the end. Just one more barbel 😩 Great film bud! Very thrilling 👊
Ahh I know!!! Thank you mate! Ahh I'm glad :)
Spoilers mate come on 🤷🏼♂️ we know we all read the comments as the video is starting 😂
@@RFT24 Not sure why anyone would do that tbh, but anyone who does should expect spoilers.
What a stupid thing to do spoilers man well done
@@CB-xr1eg😢
I competed to a high level when I was younger and my takeaway was that you can win club and local comps by being a good angler and knowing the venues but to compete with the top guys you need to be a good angler, to know the venues, to get a good draw and to be super efficient with everything you do. Time is critical particularly if it's become obvious that winning on bits (large numbers of small silvers) is the way to go on that day, if you can shave seconds off of every fish through being organised and almost robotic in the way you bait the hook to shipping the pole/recasting to feeding and landing and dealing with the fish then that can add up to a substantially better weight when time is called. Be prepared, have every eventuality catered for and make sure every hooklength is identical particularly on the pole because you're wasting time if you've got to adjust everything because your fresh rig was half an inch shorter and now the float keeps sinking under the weight of the bait.
Good luck but be careful, I burned out hard at the end of my match fishing career because it is stressful and it does take a lot out of you if you're aiming high.
I don't even really like coarse fishing, but yet find myself watching all your videos. They are so well put together, epic content mate.
Please try this again, I want to see you make the final..
Ahh I'm glad :) Thanks so much mate!
Can’t wait to watch love the videos thanks for getting me into this sport loved the video keep it up
Ahh happy to hear that, thanks mate!
First, I would like to thank you. I enjoy your channel immensely and you have taught me a lot about carp fishing. Being an American, we know virtually nothing about carp fishing. The one thing we're passionate about here in the states is tournament fishing. Granted, it's not quite the same as what you gents do but it's still a competition. My area of expertise and tournament style was Ocean Surf fishing. In 1980's through the 1990's, my self and my team became moderately "known" on the North Eastern Shoreline at these events. We finished in the top three numerous times over the years but eventually life got in the way of tournaments and I moved on. Not to brag but over the years I honed my style and abilities and some might say I got it right. For some reason, probably my ego, I returned to tournaments in 2010. I thought "Oh yeah, I'm back baby! Here we go!". Over the course of the next year what I learned was a very humbling. Smacked by numerous disappointments, accidents and bad luck I realized that some of us just should not tournament fish. Tournament fishing is a rabbit hole. Some should not venture down that hole because it will effect your passion for the sport of fishing. After a year of tournaments I left tournament fishing for ever. I even considered stopping fishing completely but decided to just fish recreationally instead. I believe I am better for it. You are an amazing fisherman. Your videos are amazing and I wait patiently for every new release. Thank you for all you do. But Carl, be careful of that rabbit hole. Some people are just not meant to be Match/Tournament fisherman. Some of us just need to be happy with our skills and spread the joy of fishing to others... Regardless, good luck if this is the course you decide to pursue. As always, another excellent video! Thanks!
Awesome video.Also a big shoutout to Adam and Matt for supporting you on this venture.Much love and don’t give up❤
❤ thanks man!
Carl, a brilliant video, mate. I've been watching you and Alex for a long time. This is one of the best ones you've done. Please do more match fishing. I really wanna see you win, lad.
The variety of fishing on your channel is what makes it so good! You've inspired me to get out there and do more different types of angling. Instead of just focusing on carp and then not going when I'm short on time. Thank you, you've changed my fishing for the better 😊
Awesome to hear this ❤ :) :)
Amazing effort, it's so annoying when you lose the winning fish and it's happend to me LOADS.
Don't give up, match fishing pays A LOT.
Great vlog again carl, and I can't wait for the next one!
Have another go don't give up..
2lb could change lots of things
Thank you mate :) 👍
No problem. Have a good week!@@fishwithcarl
You too!
Not really into Fishing, but you caught my eye and I watched the whole thing. Great Video bud
Thanks Matty, that's cool to hear! I appreciate the comment. Happy you still enjoyed it :)
Love your vids,
Started fishing in 2008 and love it like day one and you make the best content about that 🫶🏻🤌🏻
If its of any interest carl Im 54 and i started match fishing 5 years ago. For the first 2 years I used only rods - feeder, bomb and waggler fishing on commercials. About 3 years ago i bought myself my first real pole, the MTX 2. This year I won innumerate matches against anglers who have match fished for years longer than I, also won the summer league at my local commercial.
The first year of pole fishing was more readily learning how best to set up my box and gear etc lol, with an occasional lucky section win to keep me going predominantly getting hammered every match was the norm. The hardest part is planning your match IMO.
My advice is to firstly focus on rods - get on the reservoir matches golden rod series etc, if you decide you want to use pole then start pole fishing after about 2 years, then you know you have your rod work if needed reasonable. All in all to really have a basic clue and a chance at some wins (including section win results) - I would argue 4-5 years for normal circuit open match wins, add talent and frequency maybe 2 - 3 years - the big events fisho etc I couldnt even begin to say, they on another level truly. PS you arent going to beat the river guys whom use pole most likely - although that couple of 4lb chub or barbel could take it. (ps I wrote this before watching the video fully.)
After watching im lmao - all the reminiscence - that fish I lost IF id ... yadda yadda. You know your river fishing already for sure so you are always in with a chance on rivers, but they are called pros for a reason. Your own intuition is always your best... on wild venues Carl use the force so to speak but hey what do i know i dont even river fish. If you'd pole fished for the Dace at the start you would have prolly qualified. great vid..!
Please never stop man I’m from america and your videos single handedly made me go across the pond for carp. Love your videos
Lovely Barbel Carl, well done. I noticed you've developed the matchman's pause, that moment when time's been called and part of your brain says, sod it, keeping fishing for a bit longer and get another, while the other half of your brain says, stop fishing now, you're out of order, then the sensible part of your brain winds in, reluctantly.
Great videos as usual,total respect you’ve helped me so much with rigs etc ,other anglers who have channels can be so annoying,you deserve a TV slot.Thanks once again.
Thanks Terry! Really glad to hear the films have helped with your fishing :) 👍 tight lines!
Your videos are the best Carl every time I see ur videos it puts a smile on my face thank you.
Ahh happy to hear that, cheers Luke :)
I’ve never understood match angling. Does take the fun out of it. Great video as always Carl! Making sure to watch those adds fully as well!
It’s not for me, same with fishing any kind of commercial venue.
But we’re all different 😀👍
Different kind of fun!
You didn't need to become the best fishermen, you already are!
Keep up the vids mate!
-Ethan
Haha thanks Ethan!
@@fishwithcarl no problem you are the best fisherman I know!
I work in an fishing shop and the talk I hear about the match scene (I'm a carp angler) tells me two things. It is always the luck of the draw and getting a good peg. And also knowing the venue and how it fishes in various conditions is also key. The guys that do well, fish a LOT of matches and fish the venues on a regular basis. Personally I think it was an incredible result to do as well as you did. Keep it going.
One thing I learned during my match fishing career in the 80s & 90s, was don't worry about 'them', because most of them look the part but they're the 'all the gear and no idea'.
Good luck mate 👍
Carl you did amazing, and the video was wicked... "let's rob it" 🤣🤣🤣 just fishing in general really pal, some days it's your day and some it just isn't but fair play to you mate. God bless you 🙏🏻 💙💙💙
I have been vacant from fishing channels but I always know when I watch Carl videos they are always great content and entertainment
I can't say how good of a video this is !!! Keep it up Carl, looking forward to the next upload
Thanks so much!!
Fabulous demonstration of skill and sportsmanship.
How these guys do this week in week out is beyond me.
The rollercoaster of emotions... this is like TV productions! Well done!
I just subscribed to this channel but from what I‘ve seen so far the quality of his videos is far beyond the other fishing channels I know.
Keep up the good work man 💪🏻👍🏻
I started up fishing again after 16 years back in august and done nothing but non stop what your vids and the quality is amazing keep up the great work
I watch Paul gone fishing and I agree with the comments your videos are top quality me and my husband enjoy your videos. Best wishes!
Thank you, massively appreciate that :) you too! 👍
Should do a series every year take 5 anglers who are good or used to be and haven’t fished in a while and help them by getting advice from Matt and Rooney and go on a few fisho, match this, river fest etc with each angler only takes one to qualify and you could be the bank runner for them one or two people aiming for each qualifier and film there prep the qualifier there thoughts etc could do as a competition or people could enter there angling cvs too you and you can pick from them
Could do this sort of thing with a disabled angler for tips that they have found help with their fishing or things that have changed for them since becoming disabled when fishing same again for a woman and how things are different for them and the way Fishomania has changed over the years for them would be some good insight especially with how it’s changed so women can be part of the final now where as a few years ago there was a separate final with less prize money
Fishing in the uk is way different then the us
I look forward to watching your videos with a cuppa every time you upload them. It's great to watch and see that you remind me of me in many ways. This match fishing journey was great to watch and I hope you have another chance to do this again next year and prove to GURU that you have what it takes.
ahh thank you, appreciate that :)
I need more, this such good content. Was buzzing when got that first big barbel!
Cheers Jamie!!
Loved this! Don't give up but do try to keep sane as I bet matches will test your mind management! It would be great to see more near-misses so keep them coming 🎣 👏
Way to go Carl!!!!! I made the same journey with match shooting. Its a whole different thing to go to a match than it is for pleasure! I love shooting matches now, and the more you put into matches the better you will get. Its a huge challenge that can be soul crushing at times, but intensely rewarding as well. Hope to see you fish more of them!!!!!!
Thank you!! :)
Nice picture! Very well made narration with a nice protagonist!👌
„Depends on what y…“ „Money!“ 😂
I Love it Carl, i Hope you do These Videos Till the end of the days.
Cheers from Germany ❤️
Hahah, cheers mate!
Carl you have so much humanity and class and you are a natural always loved watching you hopefully see you at the Essex carp show....
Thanks mate! Sorry but I'm not going to be at the Essex Carp Show! Maybe next year!
That face "big fish!" 😂
Really enjoyed this new fishing goal. Please try again next year... You will be one of the best with the fishing passion (and sponser) that you have! Thanks for the great video!!!
You’re a true asset to angling. Likeable, your fishing shows are better than television shows 🎉
Wow, thanks Roy, that's kind.
I dont like matchfish BUT this is one, in my honest opinion, is one of your best videos so far. Lot of emotional, thank you for this production.
Oh wow, thanks so much - did not expect such a good response :) happy you enjoyed it!
Enjoyed that carl. Your summary at the end is spot on for me-its all fishing,but everyone has there own preferences and what/how they like to fish. We can all learn from each other,personally match angling teaches you how to fish then you can scale that whatever way you want for whatever species. Keep the videos coming,looking forward to seeing you try fly fishing! Now that's an art .tight lines
Absolutely loved this video and I’ve literally minimal interest in match fishing, really appreciate your efforts, thanks buddy!
Ah that's cool to hear, you're welcome :) happy you enjoyed it!!
Fantastic video. I started young on match fishing also. Probably played into the competitiveness of youth haha. Quickly moved away from it. Can become so incredibly stressful. But it also has that 'buzz' of anticipation that you get from other sports. Amazing to see how professional the top pros really are. Loving the videos
What a fantastic vlog. You were very unlucky but what a great effort. Gives new people in the sport hope in that it most definitely can be done and it's all about luck.
Thanks so much Chris!! Absolutely :)
As someone that did match fish at a high level nationally, it is not as easy as a lot of people think. Going pleasure fishing & catching fish is totally different than being up against 50+ other anglers of the same or higher ability than you, along with those that draw the fliers, and actually competing. To match fish at a high level you need to make some serious sacrifices such as preparing bait the night before (sometimes during the whole week if using bloodworm/joker from a previous match), tying rigs, tying hooks, making sure all pole elastics are not nicked or wearing, knowing as much about the venue as you can, etc, etc. Having some very good anglers as friends that are more than willing to pass on info on a venue that you are fishing that they have done well on before, etc helps a lot as well. Even though I don’t match fish nowadays (lucky if get out on the bank at all due to health), I am still in contact with a lot of the match anglers that i used to fish with or known for decades on a weekly basis minimum discussing what they are going or what they will be doing at the weekend/next match. Once that whistle goes at the start of the match (sometimes even before whilst setting up etc), concentration is needed to perform at best of ability along with being able to have a bit of banter with the neighbouring pegs (if they are up for it, most are, but some aren’t). I sincerely hope that you do well in your match fishing adventures & don’t lose faith in it. A lot of it can be decided at the draw bag, especially on natural venues, but with commercials it tends to be a bit more even & mistakes are not as important when a lot of fish are there for the catching. I look forward to seeing more videos of your match fishing. Tight lines
Awesome video Carl! Really enjoyed it.. Match fishing isn’t for me but it is cool to watch
Thanks man :) Glad you enjoyed it still!
Hope you don't give up so early. Your on the learning curve and should try again next season, building on what you have learnt this year.
You are so inspiring, Carl! Way to go on getting the two tickets Omi, this would have been a rather short video if you relied on Carl's computer. You gave match fishing a shot, Carl, and you were so close to competing in the finals. I love it when you upload videos, it always makes my weekend. And I don't say this enough but you are an advocate for people that suffer from anxiety and depression whether you know it or not.
Ahh I'm glad to hear that ❤ Thanks so much mate. All the best to you :)
There is never a dull moment with you Carl, great angler and my favourite.. also thank you for my new jumper and hat from yourself!
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you mate!
I once went into a fishing match having no prior experience as I only river fish and i came last with 11lb with bream and silver fish while everyone else was 30kb +having caught decent sized carp. Watching this given me some good ideas on how to improve thank you
Great video Carl - Don't give up match fishing, you will soon be successful - Nice seeing Omni - Keep her in your video's Carl - She's a breath of fresh air
Just shows what you learned over the years come into play. At match fishing them anglers around you probably wouldn’t of bounce meat down like you did well donee Carl
Adorable movies , pure documentary . Greetings from Romania !!!
Cheers Justin! Glad you enjoyed it :) all the best mate
Well done Carl don’t give up your clearly a very good angler just try again in the future. Was a gripping video and awesome try you should be proud of your effort 👊🏻👊🏻
Cheers Steven :)
That stress you feel is why I don’t compete. I love to fish: relaxing, being outside, rewarding. I do fun/social fishing, but the wanting/needing to win just ruins it for me.
I’m a decent fisher, but just not intense enough for that!
A super effort Carl! Great video again!
Thanks mate! 👍
One of the best and most well put together videos I have watched in a long time , had my heart in my mouth the whole time 😂👏
Haha I'm glad mate :) thank you!
What another great video. You got me back loving angling again. You came close don't give up. In a few of your other videos you said with fishing you shouldn't give up so you should keep going and you can easily win
Thanks Carl! Ahh that's cool to hear, happy you're back into it mate :) Tight lines! 👍
Hi Carl your lady and dad,
, love your channel. I have been watching silently with my 3 little lads from the beginning, indeed they grew up with you and your brother Alex. I We do watch Alex and his adventures but must admit not so much since he stopped fishing and hanging out with you. We are not fortunate to have a car, to visit beautiful places as you do but we go fishing on public transport with as much as we can carry. Would you do a video portraying the same. We use telescopic rods and landing nets and a small seat attached to our back packs lol...The other idea i have for you is to go for the British records in all species, a mighty task indeed...
Loving this series Carl. You must return to this kind of challenge, even if it is only to win a club match. This was exciting to watch and real. Honestly contrived carp fishing challenges and the like pale into comparison. Tutoring from your Guru experts has to pay off in the end. Matches where you can feeder fish will probably give you your best chance because pole angling requires so much practice. Don’t give up on it. No challenge worth doing is ever easy and the way success will make you feel will be amazing.
Fantastic effort though. One of the biggest lessons maybe that matchmen down wait, they allow a maximum time to switch tactics. Your instinct to do so proved right, you just needed to do it a bit earlier.
A brilliant watch though, well done!❤
Best video in a while, really looking forward to the future ones
Thank so much!
I defo want to see more of these competitive videos - Never seen you so competitive!
Haha it's the most competitive I get!
Thanks for sharing your humble journey!
All the best👍👍
You're welcome, happy you enjoyed it :)
Never seen you concentrate so hard - amazing video!
Haha it was very hard, cheers Wayne!
@@fishwithcarl You should make a trip to the Czech Republic, the carp capital of Europe!. I live here and carp fishing is huge in this country!
Would love to one day!
When that guy said no way you’re there.. I thought he was going to be an avid viewer🤣🤣🤣
Carl your videos make me want to go fishing and try new techniques. I never watch match fishing videos as im a carp and sea angler but i watch your videos and you bring the sport to life . Awesome channel and good photographer
Ah thank you mate, I'm so glad! ❤ All the best with your fishing!
great effort unluky with the barbel great film
That was so exciting,at the end.
Really thought you was going to do it.
Just started club match fishing myself...so intense..it's addictive.
Watch all your stuff Carl, enjoy it so much. Though this one was one of your best. Would ,ove to see you try again this coming season. All the best.
Thanks so much!
Love the videos finally got what u deserve #1 keep up the good work
Cheers Marc!
well done buddy, absolute well done. for me this was one of your bests this year.
wow, thank you so much mate ❤
Brilliant video. Educational, interesting and bloody stressful! Loved it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Haha cheers! Happy you enjoyed it!
Brilliant 👏👏
Cheers Adam!
Really enjoyed watching this you showed true skill catching them barbel
Thanks Mark!
The great thing about match fishing is thers all ways a level you can compete at wether that be club fishing, open matches or big money events
I started off my fishing journey fishing on my local canal with literally a stick and a piece of line catching perch under a canal bridge.
No body in my family fishes but by simply watching anglers and asking lots of questions along the way I’ve managed to become a decent angler making most of the big money finals you mentioned even managing to win one this year. If you ever want to have a crack at match fishing a commercial more than happy to help you out I’m sure i could get you a match win under your belt in no time.
Your face when you land that 1st Barbel, is why you definitely should do more match fishing videos.
Brilliant.
Merry Xmas .
Cheers Duncan! Same to you :)
I'm so happy that you posted another video 😊🎉🎉🎉, I will go fishing tomorrow
, just I can't watch your video yet because I'm going roller hokey😅!!!
Excellent video mate. To become even a relatively consistent, competitive open angler requires a lot of dedication, preparation, knowledge, experience and still luck after that. River fest was definitely the competition to go after given how bonus fish can get you in the final. Matt and Rooney literally live for match fishing and even Matt knows there are certain commercial big money comps he isn't doing regularly enough to win on, and for me he is a future WC
It gave me a lot of insight and respect for sure :) Thanks Richard! 👍
Great video Carl, it always comes down to what you know. You smashed it bud 🎉
Thanks Bob :) 👍
Another great video mate, can't wait till the one on the 23rd !!
❤
Lovely bit of fishing Carl 🎉
Don’t give up brother, you were 1 fish away! It’s a tough battle but I believe in you, you’ve got this!
Ahh cheers mate :)
part 2 please
Amazing stuff carl keep up the good work
Thanks Kai :) 👍
Thoroughly enjoyed that!
