Hey Mark, hope alls well haven't seen you in a while. The emotion of this capture brought back so many happy memories of my barbel PB the last ever fish I caught before leaving UK. Your videos help me to connect from 4000miles away... with what was my life's passion. Hope to be sharing more of your sessions again soon.
Well done that man. A stunner of a fish and on a pin aswell . Going back to what you said about fishing helping with mental health, today I went deadbaiting for pike on our local canal with 2 of my friends our children. Not 1 fish was banked but we had an amazing time cooking on the bank and passing on our passion to the next generation, cooking bacon and laughing over old stories. This time of year is difficult for me for personal reasons but today it was like all my worries had gone away. Well done Mark. Look forward to the next video
Lost count of the times ive watched this. It warms my heart when im down. Love it mate. Glad you are back making these for us. I feel lucky to be able to watch the journey❤️👍
Thanks mate! Yes I'm keeping ok in some ways and not in others, thanks for actually coming and asking. I am still filming and new videos will be dropping from the new year.
Chunk hardly covers it, what a fish. That reel must have sounded amazing as that beast took off down river. Well done mate, top class and thanks for sharing....
@@markerd5378 thanks Mark. I have now seen the post. Don't let the select few ruin it for you and your devoted audience. Good luck mate. I hope you work it out.
Alright buddy. Great video's 'Haven't seen any more up loads for a wile'Hope you and your family are ok' see you on the next video. Well done on a cracking pb barble.
I've started to think like Mark, the fishing has gotten so hard (for all the wrong reasons which we all know🙄) I just like to get out, and whilst I fish my best, I accept that blanking is a way of life now & just enjoy the trip... a run (love my piking) is a bonus... 🤗 Really delighted for him, he's a nice guy and deserves it !! 😉 😎👍☘️🍺
"Catching a fish is just a bonus" And then you made your pb :D Strangely, we often feel that way on the best catching days 🤔 I've learn from you that, the most important when fishing is not what you catch but what you feel. Congratulations 💪
Hello mark great video hope you and youre family are doing good havent seen any videos from you latley ive just back from the wye and then a trip to royalty fishery had a few nice barble from wye and chub from avon be good to see some more cideos soon mate
Fish like that beauty make all the days we blank well worth it. I enjoy fishing match venues where we can catch 100lb plus a day but it'll never beat having days like this on the river bank surrounded by wonderful countryside Congratulations on the PB its a monster 🎣🎉🍻
My mate was pissed and caught a carp at night ,bagged it and in the morning just by chance I walked down with him and weighs it .40lb comitso barbel. From orellana spain.yes dude dreams come true ,thats a banging fish .
Congrats on the PB Mark ..WoW . A centrepin capture is the stuff of dreams, Mr Crabtree style with a moment to treasure for a lifetime. Awesome angling and the Very Very best for 2023 fella ... Steve M
Absolutely the fish are the bonus to a lovely session on the bank, such a shame that many anglers can’t see that but hey, that’s another story. Well done, effort=reward.
WELL DONE ON THE NEW PB, I HAD A NEW PB MYSELF OF 13lb 8oz , which was from river Severn, two week before the end of season, it was 1 lb 8 oz heavier than my previous PB, I was the same as you at the end of your vid, also shaking, once again WELL DONE !
Congratulations Mark, if anyone deserves to catch such a special beautiful specimen it’s you mate! The efforts you put in and with all the personal other things that you have dealt with it’s a well deserved moment to treasure. The emotions at the end shows us all exactly what this meant to you. Take care my Friend. Best regards. Alan
What a fantastic PB, if you were a fisherman tale teller you could have passed that off for a lot more, it looks massive. Your dedication and passion warrants a result like that, nice one Mark👍
What an amazing fish. Very, very well done mate. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy either.
Well done Mark.....another good video congratulations on your new pb
Hope you are well mate. Wishing you all the best and hope to see you on the bank soon…
