There's hard-core carp anglers, and the there's Ben Mir. I carp fished around the Scottish Borders for around 10 years, and the weather alone is enough to put most off. Nothing is colder than a gale force Easterly that's come straight off the North Sea. Top film and an absolute legend!
Was about to go to sleep then saw the title of the video. Safe to say I’ve just finished the whole thing. Fished castle loch with my old man as a kid for pike. Incredible to think fish like that are in there. Incredible proper hardcore angling that! 👏
What a lovely geezer, that is one hell of a bit of angling, to have these captures in Scotland is no easy task and I should think very few people will ever accomplish these kind of results, brilliant video and I hope to see more of this man in the future 💪👊
Great video Ben cracking fish you go far and beyond most carp anglers I have ever seen lovely to see your still chasing the dream not seen you since once on Cromwell but I new then you were special keep it up Ben and take care ray at York
Absolutely excellent little film, a carp angling pal of mine used to bream fish this venue, before he got into carp fishing, we’re from the north east of England, ( and he was actually the official bream record holder ) Scottish record, caught from castle Loch ! he used to talk about the carp in there and what it was like hooking one accidentally on the bream tackle ( always snapped you up or got away) but bream wise he was the boyo for a few years. Nowadays he’s a successful carp angler. 💯🔥
Brilliant story buddy I was impressed by your journey on Castle Loch I fished on the loch on 😂holiday 40 years ago for a bit of piking. Was renowned for big bream and big pike at the time a magical place. Good luck with your quest buddy.
Probably one of the best Avid videos I've seen. Fairplay to him for his persistence and skills, respect sir. Loved the shot with the drone through the back of the bivvy, nice one.
You my friend are the ideal example of a dedicated angler.well done for what you have achieved. Keep angling my friend and formally all your dreams congratulations. There's nothing like a buitifull common . Mirrors are buitifull fish but there's something about a common carp
That’s tough going and dedication so much effort and time really enjoyed your video and admire your determination and thinking regards from Bournemouth
These are stories that keep are fires burning them big vast waters full of mysteries thanks for sharing good luck mate I’m sure it will happen for you 👍👍
Great listening to ur carping adventures over the years , u deserved them fish the time and effort u put in , wishing u many more memories to come , found it really interesting , keep up the good work 👍 👏
What a terrific video,the challenge of such a place,and his determination,up there with the best of them no doubt,and cracking big uncaught carp..simply awesome.Hope the big dark one comes his way🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 17.08
Cracking to hear your stories Ben. A pioneer in scottish carping for sure. Met you a few times back in the day before a moved away. I had a few big tench off the canal when you got that 1st 30lbr. Some area.Keep the catch reports coming 🎣🏴
Did you ever catch the tench or bream ,while after the carp ,,we used to hook carp after the bream biggest 23 lb common ,but hooked into some larger ones but never banked them on bream tackle 😮
Great video, I fished Castle Loch back in the 90s after Bream remember talking to people, how said you see the odd carp on top in summer but no body fishes for them. Such a shame the massive head of Bream has been all but wiped out, sure the lake still holds Scottish Bream record.
lot off hard work put in, i wont say you only catch fat gold fish anymore,. great insight into what you do, to catch big fish. keep up the good work mate
One of the greatest uk captures of all time. As proper as it gets!
I completely agree , this is right up there 💯
Agreed
Totally agree Russell, outstanding capture from a phenomenally hard piece of water
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ChiefBr0dy are you for real? A unknown 40lb fish from a huge Scottish gravel pit. Come on mate, jealousy gets us nowhere
In the early 1980 s we put a dustbin full of small carp commons , mirrors in we were pike fishing at the time ,,,Ben fishing it since 1976😊
This man is next level.i want to see more of him
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come, hopefully bedtime he is holding up that big dark one!
Couldn’t agree more, we need more of this man on screen. 💯👍👌

Great Blog Ben , I hope you get to net the big common 👍 Tightlines
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Looks like Scotland could do with someone dropping in a few mirrors !
Those armour plated old commons just seem to last so much longer with the otters. It seems the mirrors are much easier for the otters to grab hold of
@@AvidCarpFishingTV Interesting....i guess there are more scales to slip and let a common get away.
This actually Blew me away 😮 it was such a good watch
😮😮😮 thats some capture 😮😮😮
Fantastic Ben and to think Asim had the OG record from the Huggy to what u have now...amazing m8
Glad you enjoyed it! No doubt Ben will end up with another record under his belt soon enough!
YARP!!!!
Great angling

A true pioneer just like the old days hope you catch white belly!!
Cracking to hear your stories Ben. A pioneer in scottish carping for sure. Met you a few times back in the day before a moved away. I had a few big tench off the canal when you got that 1st 30lbr. Some area.Keep the catch reports coming 🎣🏴
I’m complaining about 6 fish on a commercial fishery and there is this legend happy with 5 BITES in the whole winter haha
looks a mega lake
It is a special place that's for sure!
Did you ever catch the tench or bream ,while after the carp ,,we used to hook carp after the bream biggest 23 lb common ,but hooked into some larger ones but never banked them on bream tackle 😮
The bream are seldom gone now however young Callum did bag the record from there recently. The tench are still knocking about though!
Thats my uncle
Great video, I fished Castle Loch back in the 90s after Bream remember talking to people, how said you see the odd carp on top in summer but no body fishes for them. Such a shame the massive head of Bream has been all but wiped out, sure the lake still holds Scottish Bream record.
An amazing venue, Callum did have the Scottish record bream this year from Castle!
Didn't realise Scotland had carp that big
Proper carp angling.
Respect to mr Mir I’ve been to this loch before and it’s as tough as it gets
G burns ex member Scottish carp group
lot off hard work put in, i wont say you only catch fat gold fish anymore,. great insight into what you do, to catch big fish. keep up the good work mate
Go get nessy Ben quality angling quality watch!!!
If anyone could catch Ness it would be Ben 🤣 Glad you enjoyed it!
That’s the trouble with carp fishing, you want to share your catches but then every Tom Dick and Harry turns up at the lake 😂
Fucking class proper carp fishing
Keeping yeee haaaa keeping it real
That can’t be a Scottish fish.. it’s not tartan?
🤪
Cant understand a single word of that.
He even did his posh voice
