Dont disgrace trout fishing like that common, fishing native and wild trout will kick your ass and put you into the most scenic places in the world. This is just a pond and some oversized tenkara gear w powerbait...
Watching from the US. I prefer your match angling to our gas guzzling bass boat, battleship, electronics arms race tournaments. There is some serious fish playing and netting skills involved here.
Every country is different and what makes fishing so great is that it is such a broad church. Social or solitary, competitive or passtime, there's always something for everyone.
Agreed. Not much challenge if you have a fish finder showing you exactly where the fish are. Not much skill there. I know all the Bill Dance wannabe's are gonna cry now but the average bass boat "angler" has dropped tens of thousands of dollars into gear from boat and motor to rods and reels and electronics to make up for their lack of knowledge like fisherman from decades ago. They may as well be dropping nets. I see old guys on the bank with rod and reel or even a cane pole easily outfishing guys in their $80,000 boats who spend more time watching a screen than they do reading the water and the terrain. May as well be playing a video game.
What are the 50ft long poles? I’ve never seen this before.I only ask because I can’t seem to notice a line on them if it’s a fishing rod. Is it for bait placement ?

as great as this video and event is, can someone explain to me how there is ANY skill or sportsman aspect to this at all, and why there is so much gear?
There's plenty of skill involved teddy. It's really tactical not just luck or "hook a duck". Yes everyone can catch, but a lot of it is about the baiting strategy to get the fish feeding like they do. Every country is different and in the UK this style of fishing is hugely popular.
No matter how easy or hard catching the fish might be, when you put competition into anything a small amount of better skill or gear, or just the weather can change everything. That's the best thing about fishing.
Not sure. I'll check but it could be something to do with an edit point. Maybe there was an audio pop or crackle / or someone swearing in the background. It's usually something like that.
Opposite - there are much fewer here in the states (comparatively speaking to them, we have a bunch but nothing like them) but Carp are barely targeted here - most places consider them trash fish in the states (just a fact not my personal opinion I enjoy carp fishing). Europe has a much higher population of carp but they are hit so hard. Take the popularity of bass here in the states, multiply that by 10 and you have the popularity of carp over there. Which in turn leads to tougher fishing when the species is targeted so highly.
@@KayakMike Wow Mike, thanks. I like to carp fish at night, but I'm mainly casting for bass when I fish. To me this is more like the "pay lakes" that are found in the south here in the states. Seems like it would be fun then, since it's not easy?
I thought the same thing - lol. The video was done so greatly at first, I started watching got about 10 minutes in and saw the description and was like - welp this is completely ruined. No point in watching now. Highlight, live, pre recorded, etc - don't spoil the event in the first 2 lines of the description you'd think that would be common sense no lol?
This shit is wild haha I'm from the US and I fish for all sorts of things, and this...lol this just blows my mind. Nothing wrong with it if this is how you guys enjoy it, just wildly different from anything I've ever seen before. Cool to see a crowd and everything all official for this event as well.
Having read through the comments it appears the carp are 1,000 times bigger in the good ole USA - and 1,000,000 times easier to catch! Seems like the Yankee Doodle Dandee's egos are similarly multiplied not to mention their intellects being equally divisible! :-P
You aren’t a real fisherman if you can’t appreciate different types of fishing. I live in the US too but sounds like you should stick to those largies and probably take that stick out your ass.
Curious question - not to drum up anger. Here in the states - we have a serious pay lake problem with Trophy Catfish. They steal wild cats, put them in these types of ponds, they die off in a few months (if they are lucky), then rinse and repeat. Trophy catfish just can't be sustained in small ponds like this, it's animal cruelty to the max. They are intentionally not fed, they spike the water with chemicals to irritate fish into biting. It's truly a disgusting act. Across the pond - it appears you also have Pay Lakes by evidence of this video but for Carp. Carp are much much easier to keep alive in small environments, cheaper food, etc. Do you guys experience the same back lash there as we do in the states? Are the carp in your lakes cared for and taken care of? Or is it the same situation there as it is here? Stolen from the wild - put into a pond, malnourished, to inevitably die in a month? From what I know about Carp, and the local fish farms around here they have no issues growing and maintaining carp in enclosed environments - I don't think it would be astronomically expensive to maintain a healthy population by feeding them. If your Pay Lakes aren't destroying the wild and they are self-sustaining, man I wish they would adopt that in the states. Our trophy Catfish paylakes are quite possibly one of the most inhumane things done to animals on this earth by humans. It's worse than dog fighting rings. Edit - from the comments it appears the only back lash are the "superior self entitled" fisherman who just think this is easy. If something like this made RUclips from an American PayLake, the comments would be 99% hatred towards the owner of the lakes, the fisherman, filled with death threats etc - and rightfully so they're scum for what they are doing. But reading down the comments and seeing the lack of hate, I have a feeling I answered my own question.
We've heard about pay lakes over here but that's not what these are. They certainly don't sound good. One of the things that is really important to UK anglers and the fishery owners over here is fish welfare. They certainly don't take fish from the wild, they either breed their own or buy them from regulated and registered fish farms. The water quality is regularly tested and aerated and the fish are well fed. Over here carp are highly prized. Many European anglers find it highly offensive that US "anglers" bow fish for carp and simply throw them away. I'd say respect is the key. To each other, to each others sports, to the environment and certainly to the fish. Imagine motorsport competitors hating on other motorsport disciplines. They have respect. Anglers seem to like to argue with each other.
Just catching a bunch of carp? We catch those in Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana. We consider carp a trash fish and knock them on the head, and throw them on the bank.
@@RobHughesTV I wouldn't say proud. More dumbfounded, that they consider carp a sportfish. To each their own! At least they're having fun, and taking people's money.
@@Ryanlawrence84 you were clearly being a smartass and denigrating their style of fishing. Fishing is different there for a reason, I've seen videos of people in the UK fishing the salt like we do but their freshwater situation is quite different than ours, they target carp because of that
@@RobHughesTV it actually IS conservation here because they are an invasive species here! But, to each their own and I'm sure this could be fun! I can get into any fishing! From spey rods for steelhead, pitching jigs for bass, ice fishing for perch or Kokanee, walleye, need to do more saltwater fishing for sure! Point is, each place has its own culture and challenges. I bet these carp get heavily pressured year round and are a tough customer to fool.
@@RobHughesTV I can hit the same size target that they are, but quicker and I'm not limited by the pole length, and I don't possess near the skill that many stateside bass tournament anglers have. Now the pole may have a quieter bait entry, but that stealthyness might be nullified by the shadow of the pole.
How incredibly strange. All of this effort and money for some dinky carp in a dinky pond with 50 other people all next to each other? 🤨 You can find bigger carp in a drainage ditch
It's not easy there. They have a different way of fishing and carp are pressured there so they focus on gear and complicated rigs to present their bait differently. You probably think rockfishing is respectable when in reality it's much simpler than this
wtf is this lol, a 100FT fishing pole?!?! Why not just allow walking around? You know these dudes are slap wore out after a day of fishing with that junk :')

They certainly don't take fish from the wild, they either breed their own or buy them from regulated and registered fish farms. The water quality is regularly tested and aerated and the fish are well fed. Over here carp are highly prized. Many European anglers find it highly offensive that US "anglers" bow fish for carp and simply throw them away. I'd say respect is the key. To each other, to each others sports, to the environment and certainly to the fish. Imagine motorsport competitors hating on other motorsport disciplines. They have respect. Anglers seem to like to argue with each other.
They call them trash fish around here. Money fish it appears!
What the hell is this?
Just catching a bunch of carp? We catch those in Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana. We consider carp a trash fish and knock them on the head, and throw them on the bank.
You must be very proud... That's fantastic conservation!!!!
@@RobHughesTV I wouldn't say proud. More dumbfounded, that they consider carp a sportfish. To each their own! At least they're having fun, and taking people's money.
@@RobHughesTV it is conservation because certian types of carp are a invasive species in many areas
@@Ryanlawrence84 you were clearly being a smartass and denigrating their style of fishing. Fishing is different there for a reason, I've seen videos of people in the UK fishing the salt like we do but their freshwater situation is quite different than ours, they target carp because of that
@@RobHughesTV it actually IS conservation here because they are an invasive species here! But, to each their own and I'm sure this could be fun! I can get into any fishing! From spey rods for steelhead, pitching jigs for bass, ice fishing for perch or Kokanee, walleye, need to do more saltwater fishing for sure! Point is, each place has its own culture and challenges. I bet these carp get heavily pressured year round and are a tough customer to fool.
only in the uk is all i can say.
What in the hell! 🤣🤣🤣
Wow a £100k prize, that'll keep you in maggots for a wee while.
how hard do they hit him on taxes over there
If the angler is a pro then they get taxed. If a normal angler, then it's tax free
unlucky jamie lad always next year
The fish do not stand a chance with all these human blobs going after them.
I gotta say, this is the most inconvenient way to fish for carp! It’s so stupid. The amount of equipment and cost for a bottom feeder fish is so dumb.
instead of using a 50' pole, they could just learn how to use a baitcaster.
@@taylorhickman84 Pole is hugely more accurate and precise
@@RobHughesTV I can hit the same size target that they are, but quicker and I'm not limited by the pole length, and I don't possess near the skill that many stateside bass tournament anglers have. Now the pole may have a quieter bait entry, but that stealthyness might be nullified by the shadow of the pole.
Ok I know im an American and everything but What the f%^#K am I looking at right now
Carp fishing 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣
That's an odd type of fishing.
It's huge in Uk
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

coisa ridicula isso de transformar tudo em esporte
i fishing to eat,not for a prize. WASTE MONEY.
Not a waste for Zak who trousered 100k
How incredibly strange. All of this effort and money for some dinky carp in a dinky pond with 50 other people all next to each other? 🤨
You can find bigger carp in a drainage ditch
This is wayyyyy too easy! Honestly
Not really. Ask the guys who didn't win
It doesn't matter if it's easy or super hard. It's a competition so that's what gives a challenge.
It's not easy there. They have a different way of fishing and carp are pressured there so they focus on gear and complicated rigs to present their bait differently. You probably think rockfishing is respectable when in reality it's much simpler than this
wtf is this lol, a 100FT fishing pole?!?! Why not just allow walking around? You know these dudes are slap wore out after a day of fishing with that junk :')
Ggggggg
Look at these copy cat fishing techniques for the Chinese! And they said Chinese copy.
Wtf is going on here……
hhahahahahhahahahhha
This is weird
Not a good time to discuss fishing when WW3 is at your door lol
fishing for carp? ... carp.
I feel like I can do better with a ugly stik and some worms.
