My favourite underwater video by far, i found it far more insightful rather than just catching numerous carp no matter what rig / bait. Very refreshing and i hope Marks recovered as he looked beaten up. Thank you Fox 👍
Happy 10 years guys! The Challenge will always be a RUclips classic. The spring back in mono was a proper eye opener & we need more Marks Musings next time👍
Na it’s a quality rig caught so many on it and on hard lakes! I fish it noodle style like Scott loyd. Perfectly balanced hook bait and big hook is the trick
It’s not in the slightest way inefficient and this sort of thing happens with nearly all rigs. We get done all the time. What I will say is that the blowback function when using fake maize or small balanced hook baits is largely negated. Part of the mechanics involves the fish blowing out a bait and the force actually drives the hook point further home. With a double bottom bait this makes far more sense. Personally for small hookbaits and tight patches of bait a hook ring swivel and bead is my go to, as seen on the 360 in this video.
Great to see you two back with another Challenge what a watch, we all know how canny these bloody creatures are not sure there is any rig that will guarantee a take every time, but the amount of times they pick up and not even any indication and you guys know what you are doing, for the rest of us seeing it on camera is eye opening, omg the frustration these fish cause us but hey I guess that’s why we keep coming back 😮
Laughing so hard here watching this Challenge, Lots of Info to be taken in, need to rewatch a few times to let the Tips and tricks sink in. Can not wait to talk to Mark Personally in April
As always an entertaining and informative video gents. Great to see the underwater footage and learn that you see no indication for a rejected pass at the bait.
Really enjoyable watch. Really liked the fact that Mark left the rig out after it had been picked up by carp and birds making it a real fishing situation 🙌🎣
Brilliant watch guys probs best underwater I have watched , mark and Harry best duo in fishing by far , congrats on the 10 years but where has them 10 years gone lol Looking forward to the next 10 , well done guys 🎣
Very very interesting, I was always aware of mono stretch but the ferocity of that springback was something else for sure.A lot to take in there guys and like a few lads,have already said it needs to be watched a few times I reckon.
Mmm well excellent video fox team,gotta say seeing the underwater footage had opened my eyes to what's going on beneath the murky waters.well done and here's to the next 10 years of challenges.👍
@fox_international was absolutely amazing, loved the banter everything. I can feel a serious underwater coming from you 2 now, where you test your fav rigs and see how they can be tweaked to get more captures !!! With the banter of course 😁
When fish are moving slowly between baits, I have to wonder whether something like a KD rig where the hook can flail around more wildly relative to the hook bait gives you just a bit more chance of catching the inside of the mouth.
🎉🎉🎉Yeah finely a good underwater video ❤❤where the real footage let be in it loved it good watch a ton of tips and lot off marks musings I love it boys good work❤❤
Line aligner old but still a classic goes to show it doesn't need to be over complicated. One thing i do when fishing a snowman type hookbait is pinch a shot below the bottom bait that way it traps it against the pop up and also means it's tighter to the deck and make the hookbait heavier which I believe helps with the hooking.. Works for me anyway
@@fox_international exactly my point alls you see in comments is shorten rig but the best performing rig I’ve seen in that long illusion one , loved that video.
Absolutely mega video as always guys, loved it. Just outnof interest would/did Mark ever just think to change the pink for a day? I personally feel a fair few spooked because of the pink.
I do love underwater videos find them so interesting.. on the heli set up when he used shorter hooklinks hes success rate went up same for inline leads as its more in contact with the lead. on leadclips i prefer curve hooks an snowman or bottombaits🎣
Yeah that was definitely noticeable, interesting though that mark tended to prefer longer hooklinks as they gave him better hook holds, and when he shortened down he had a hookpull! which is the lesser of two evils? Food for thought
I’m 1:02 in I watching this I would have used a shorter hook length… with a 4.1/2 ounce weight that would never eject that hook would catch every time?
I thought lunging the rod when you hit the clip with mono main line was standard practice? Otherwise it bounces back every time. Also when fishing mono main line at distance it’s far better to fish locked up than free spool, guaranteed more fish landed
hi there, this was far more exaggerated than just moving the rod forward with the lead. We've not seen anyone doing it in open water only for when fishing tight to islands. Reels were locked up due to the proximity to the snag! Tight clutches are always better for sure
Repeat The Challenge, but let Mark chose the lead set up and rig?Howevcer he has to change every time he lands a fish…and possibly a different set up on each camera….as long as one component is different….as i just feel a lot of that film was taken up by a rig he wouldn’t fish on a helicopter? That looked tough mind, i felt stressed watching it 🤷♂️ I still think you are an absolute legend Mark 👍 not leg-end…legend ** 💪🏼
Can I just say I you guy are great. But when you say things like the fish can see the line when then line has been designed to be virtually invisible so is fox line any good
Please don’t be mad about my comment but I don’t think/feel this was a real/legitimate challenge, but a great excuse for an underwater Video. Great footage, lots to take away and learn. PS; dear Mark, I saw you emotions, your anger, despair, sadness and doubts, but don’t punish yourself, keep your head high, look and go forward, live and love your life and fishing! Mark, you did Great job and you can be proud of yourself and everything you’ve did in this “ challenge “!
Please do! Underwater footage isn’t for everyone, but there is so much to be learnt from it. Mix in Marks usual ramblings and Harry’s hurdles for Mark. It’s a great combo we think 😄
Well done. I like the honesty. You were not there to find the perfect rig, bait. It was all about honest fishing in front of cameras. You did do some tweaks. But overall, if you don't know it happens, why would you bring it in. Ducks, swan, and fish had those rigs without a bleep. Something new to work on now. Some more rig tying is going to be done.
I would love to see somebody fishing with underwater cameras trying to improve his rig and hooking rate! Keep believing in something what is not working is not the best way of thinking in my opinion .. I also want to learn what happens when u change some things on the rig! That’s when u learn something of it!! Btw nice content❤️
The amount of fish that were spooked by that pink. I would of definitely changed that they were so cautious when they went to drop in on it. Ok ye gonna few takes but could of had more if you played about with others colours
After recently watching the under water at Horcott lake in the Cotswolds that you did, which was amazing, informative and well presented, I found this a bit disappointing to be honest. It felt like it needed a bit of Tom Maker confidence, charisma and calm manor when explaining things. Mark seems like a really nice guy and is clearly a good angler but he really needs to relax a bit, when things aren’t going your way try and be a bit more positive and try and make something happen. It felt like he moaned or protested about everything, you’re working for fox, they gave you a challenge to get through, do your job, there’s thousands of anglers that wish they were in your position. All that aside, there was still a lot learned throughout the video, thanks for sharing
our divers actually removed a load of other snags that had fallen off the bar and into deeper water, they were huge. We believe the club are looking to have them removed.
@ no bad intentions just thought I’d give an honest opinion. I think it killed marks usual happy vibe. Hope all is well. And I’m getting a bit bored of underwater footage now so maybe a little bias 👍🏼
Guys shorten those rigs I guarantee you will catch so many more fish!!the first thing any angler with 30 years experience would have done after watching the first fish is shorten those rigs personally I don’t know how so many people in the industry get so far in this industry
Don’t forget, they didn’t watch the first fish, so didn’t actually know what had happened…. The next time they had a chance they had 4 pickups in 10minutes and caught one. Then shortened the rig and conversion rate went up.

10 years of The Challege, that's crazy.. Happy Anniversary, well done and congratulations on a decade of fishing entertainment
By a mile, the best under water footage I've seen yet
Thanks, glad you liked it! 😊
100%
My favourite underwater video by far, i found it far more insightful rather than just catching numerous carp no matter what rig / bait. Very refreshing and i hope Marks recovered as he looked beaten up. Thank you Fox 👍
Happy 10 years guys! The Challenge will always be a RUclips classic. The spring back in mono was a proper eye opener & we need more Marks Musings next time👍
Mark's refusal to accept his rig is actually quite inefficient is hilarious... Inside he's hurting having fished this rig for years 😂 Heads fried.
Na it’s a quality rig caught so many on it and on hard lakes! I fish it noodle style like Scott loyd. Perfectly balanced hook bait and big hook is the trick
He's been saying "the carp find it impossible to deal with" for five years. And in fairness, how would he know any different!
@@jimmyboimazarti1234it is not about how many u catch on a rig.. but how many you don’t hook a fish😉
It’s not in the slightest way inefficient and this sort of thing happens with nearly all rigs. We get done all the time.

He seems like a nice chap that mark chap but oh my he needs to dial down the camo it’s like a kid playing army, great video fox 👍🏻
Well done Fox and Mark. Personally, these underwater vids stuff your head up but, at least we learnt that diving ducks have no effect on the Carp.
Great to see you two back with another Challenge what a watch, we all know how canny these bloody creatures are not sure there is any rig that will guarantee a take every time, but the amount of times they pick up and not even any indication and you guys know what you are doing, for the rest of us seeing it on camera is eye opening, omg the frustration these fish cause us but hey I guess that’s why we keep coming back 😮
Absolutly unbelievable footage its proper eye opening to see and the chemistry between you both is just great!

Oh look at me I know Mark personally loool😂😂😂
As always an entertaining and informative video gents. Great to see the underwater footage and learn that you see no indication for a rejected pass at the bait.
This was such a great watch, these 2 are my fav pair to watch. So much personality and really funny 😂.
Fantastic underwater footage.
Really opens your eyes.
Cliché of the year definitely.
"You've been done "
Really enjoyable watch. Really liked the fact that Mark left the rig out after it had been picked up by carp and birds making it a real fishing situation 🙌🎣
Oh all the pairs that film together, in my opinion you to are far the best, i dont even carp fish, but love watching the banter between you two
love that! thanks
Brilliant watch guys probs best underwater I have watched , mark and Harry best duo in fishing by far , congrats on the 10 years but where has them 10 years gone lol
Looking forward to the next 10 , well done guys 🎣
Wow, thanks!
Love these challenge videos, I think we can all say we have learned a lot from this video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I love these challenges. Literally the only reason I watch this channel. Well done guys, love the vids.
Glad to hear it! Thanks 💪
about bloody time. I thought you two had got married and bait boated off into the sunset together.
haha, we promise the next one will be sooner! (in fact we've already filmed it!)
Very very interesting, I was always aware of mono stretch but the ferocity of that springback was something else for sure.A lot to take in there guys and like a few lads,have already said it needs to be watched a few times I reckon.
Happy 10th anniversary 🎉 great to have the challenge back another great watch and as usual pitchers and charington at their best
Mmm well excellent video fox team,gotta say seeing the underwater footage had opened my eyes to what's going on beneath the murky waters.well done and here's to the next 10 years of challenges.👍
Well done on 10 years lads and great video
Amazing video! This was fun as always but theres a lot to learn from this, too.
been a long time waiting for this, even better its underwater !!! woohoo 😁😁😁
We had to spice it up somehow 🤿 😄
@fox_international was absolutely amazing, loved the banter everything. I can feel a serious underwater coming from you 2 now, where you test your fav rigs and see how they can be tweaked to get more captures !!! With the banter of course 😁
Great video , persisted with the pink bait for to long , jmo, maybe matching hatch may of helped, fish seem to be sus of it .
A really enjoyable watch, a brilliant laugh too.
Awesome watch guys valuable information can't beat a bit of fish pie 😉 onto the next adventure tightlines look forward to the next video 🎣 👊
Don’t set Mark off again 🤣
When fish are moving slowly between baits, I have to wonder whether something like a KD rig where the hook can flail around more wildly relative to the hook bait gives you just a bit more chance of catching the inside of the mouth.
❤❤ thanks to Mark and Harry for 10 years good content 🎉🎉🎉🎉 goo ahead and "camp-carp's"

Been waiting for this, been a member here for 2 n half years hopefully be down here next week again for 4 or 5 days.
Lovely place. Best of luck! 🎣
What’s the lake called matey? Looks a lovely venue!
Awesome vd fellas 2hrs felt like 30mins,cannot wait to my next session taking inconsideration tactics to deploy after watching vd xxx
That’s what it’s all about! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
The inline lead with a short rig is standard over here in the states. Sometimes, it's better to keep it simple.
My old syndicate im happy i got my name back down in the summer 😂👍🏻
Have you got a place for next year? I've been on here 2 n half years now love the place.
Great video guys, very informative.
Shortening the rig would help I believe what a great watch as normal missed you too and the banter had 👏🏻👏🏻
Everyone says shorten the rig but tom maker catches more than most and uses 12” rigs
@@stephenwooding8704 the 12" Illusion D performed brilliantly on the Carp Fishing edges Underwater from last year.
@@fox_international exactly my point alls you see in comments is shorten rig but the best performing rig I’ve seen in that long illusion one , loved that video.
@@stephenwooding8704he landed 20 out of 21 on 14 inch hook link
Iv been waiting for one of these thanks harry 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hope you enjoyed it! 👍
Absolutely mega video as always guys, loved it. Just outnof interest would/did Mark ever just think to change the pink for a day? I personally feel a fair few spooked because of the pink.
Having watched a few of these now, it’s clear they spot the pop ups/wafters much easier than bottom baits.
My challenge is to get authorisation from my mrs to go angling, wicked underwater footage lads 👍
😂😂
Love to see the same type of video but with a bait boat in stead of casting, to see how the bait lays also the fish reaction
Brilliant we really enjoyed this 😀
Thanks so much 😊

Great vid. Regarding cameras, I know i'm shit at carp fishing so wouldn't want cameras every time showing me how bad my rigs are lol
harry your cup is a health hazzard mate, lol great video lads
The worm bit 😂😂😂 if I had a Strimmer ffs crying 😂
I’m curious as to why Mark doesn’t have any tubing/leadcore behind the lead? Wouldn’t the rig be more inclined to tangle?
This is so painful to watch 😭😭 poor Mark 😭😭 glad I'm not the only person who feels like chucking it all in at times 😂😂
😂😂😂
I’m 1:02 in I watching this I would have used a shorter hook length… with a 4.1/2 ounce weight that would never eject that hook would catch every time?
Brilliant video lads 🤙
Sonubaits f1 corn with slow sinking ib corn soaked in goo over the top 👌 method feeder with short rig would work wonders in that situation
Well done lads greatstuff

its a different feel perhaps, but absolutely was a challenge to try and pass what Harry set, Mark was unlucky!
Best challenge yet, not because we learnt stuff but because you also learnt stuff, more of the same please.
i used to love watching these challenges. not sure why i found this one so uninteresting. might have to give it a few months then watch it again.
Please do! Underwater footage isn’t for everyone, but there is so much to be learnt from it. Mix in Marks usual ramblings and Harry’s hurdles for Mark. It’s a great combo we think 😄
The most impressive thing is Marks accurate casting
absolutely! at 80 yards, this was very impressive! having to land it in a 2ft square is very hard!
Why the dislike of the KD. Rig
Always think on these you should stike when you get indication on the rods and not the screen.
Mark don’t look his normal happy go lucky self hope alls good brother
Mark. Don’t say “let’s get it on the dance floor”! You don’t work for Korda, thank god.
As with a lot of what Mark says that was a little tongue in cheek 😉
Well done. I like the honesty. You were not there to find the perfect rig, bait. It was all about honest fishing in front of cameras. You did do some tweaks. But overall, if you don't know it happens, why would you bring it in. Ducks, swan, and fish had those rigs without a bleep. Something new to work on now. Some more rig tying is going to be done.
its good to watch how things play out, would he have caught more by chopping and changing, we'll never know!
I would love to see somebody fishing with underwater cameras trying to improve his rig and hooking rate! Keep believing in something what is not working is not the best way of thinking in my opinion .. I also want to learn what happens when u change some things on the rig! That’s when u learn something of it!! Btw nice content❤️
Quality watch makes you wonder how we ever catch carp 🤔🤔
Any luck catching them swans then, Captain Angle?
1:42:35 I'm sure you guys have gone over this footage but this looked like a foul hook, the bait only moves after the Carp dashes off.
The amount of fish that were spooked by that pink. I would of definitely changed that they were so cautious when they went to drop in on it. Ok ye gonna few takes but could of had more if you played about with others colours
its just there so the camera can pick out the hook bait.
Awesome !!!
At 1:25:40. Did Mark call that swan a "prick"?
😂😂😂
I am actually surprised Mark didn't try out different color baits.
After recently watching the under water at Horcott lake in the Cotswolds that you did, which was amazing, informative and well presented, I found this a bit disappointing to be honest. It felt like it needed a bit of Tom Maker confidence, charisma and calm manor when explaining things.

SEPARATION.
My one word regarding hook and bait. 👍
You need camera rigs that can move and rotate like Korda’s
Come on then, were can we get the jacket ??? Lol
As mark is getring older he looks like Ritchie McDonald 😂😂😂😂
Omg he is going to love it when he reads that
Why would they leave them snags on such a Shallow bar
our divers actually removed a load of other snags that had fallen off the bar and into deeper water, they were huge. We believe the club are looking to have them removed.
That’s fair, because you get to go fishing most weeks and I get cut off a lot and I get out twice a year 😘
😂😂
Yooo, what sweatshirt is the guy wearing? I need that
Didn’t think the underwater concept worked on the challenge imo. Rather it go back to before. Hopefully was just a 1 off
fair enough, it was a fusion of two styles and done as a special one off to celebrate 10 years of The Challenge
@ no bad intentions just thought I’d give an honest opinion. I think it killed marks usual happy vibe. Hope all is well. And I’m getting a bit bored of underwater footage now so maybe a little bias 👍🏼
Nice black eye gold common
Swan tickler 😂🦢
Patent pending… 🤣
The things I’d do to catch a crucian like that 😬
HUGEEEEE
Reinventing the wheel
Makes no sense at all
So tell us what wouldn’t be?
So tell us what wouldn’t be?
So much better than fanny dairbrass🎉
Mark is starting to look like Steve Briggs.
Should of had a bob lead on the hook 😂😂😂😂
So Glad to see the annoying pitchers sulk 😂
Love all your work chaps…❤ but I’ll skip this one. Korda have done the underwater ‘thing’ to death… 😴
Guys shorten those rigs I guarantee you will catch so many more fish!!the first thing any angler with 30 years experience would have done after watching the first fish is shorten those rigs personally I don’t know how so many people in the industry get so far in this industry

How many times has this been done before 🤦♀️
An underwater challenge? Zero 👍
so bait is something different than what's being feeding on . and rig is questionable.
Niceeeee
Head well and truly fell off 🤣
great film, but for me no camera ... like Mark says, its the mistery (would turn me nut to see everything)
Is it even a carp fishing video if there aren’t people moaning in the comments? #propercarpy
