as a lifelong fisherman, I can say this is every fisherman or fisherwoman's dream...Beautiful Job my friend! you're father would be super proud of you and for sure is up in there slammin huge fish! Much love brother!
@torbendinesen7121 are you alright? I'm guessing you never have lost someone close to you, and wanting them to se you succeed. I genuinely hope you won't experience it, because it hurts in a way words can't describe. All the best to you.
What your doing is mega mate. Hit a spot with me when you mentioned your dad, mine was the reason I got into fishing abd like yours was happy with his cheap old tackle. he passed away a couple of years ago whilst we was fishing in France, went doing what he loved. Keep up the good work lad, your old man would be proud! 🎣
I can relate with you about losing your dad as I'm sure alot of people unfortunately have, my dad was my best friend and it looked the same for you, they gave us the best of everything while they where happy with the basic gear, such an amazing tribute to your dad, can't wait to see the constant progress on your lake
I was fortunate enough to go to vs fisheries 3 times to hand select the fish for our lake, it’s bloody brilliant, like being a kid in a sweet shop. Simon was laughing at us trying to pick them. They are all scaley bangers, and growing really well. Hope yours do as well, well done on your journey.
The part with you and your dad made me well up and brought back loads of memories of me and my dad when i was younger so can relate, its hard missing them even more so when your on the bank doing what they loved 😢 wish you and your fishery all the best, i have the catch app so will look out for bookings when they come up, big ups ❤️🎣
Ben ive watched this adentues from the very beginning, Your story is incredibly close to home after loosing my own father 14 years ago, Seeing your Mum join you in that photograph with "Big Kev," Genuinely put a solid lump in my throat... Not one tear was shed i promise 😂, Many congratulations to you and the team on your achievement and wishing you all the best of luck for the future.
Been following from the start i just want to say your dad will be oh so proud. You had a dream and followed it through and overcome all obstacles to this day to get your lake the way you want it. Im not related but i too am very proud of you mate
Been watching from the start and I really want to book . . . Especially now that I seen about "big kev" I lost my dad in 2021 who always pushed me to fish because he new how happy it made and he was also named kev . . . . That alone the story and THAT fish have made me want to book this when possible thank you for sharing I swear I didn't shed a tear when I seen you and you mum with Big kev 😢❤🎉
some absolute belters gone in there mate, will deffo be keeping an eye on kevs lake over the next few years. once everythings grown its gonna look mint.
The fish are very good looking u are living every carp anglers dream now just need some time 4 every thing to settle down no sure your dad would be proud of what u have achieved 🎉
Some absolutely cracking fish gone in there Ben. You have done your father so proud in what you have achieved and created an ever lasting memory. I guessed £20K for those first 37 fish purely based on the millions of times that i have worked out how much it would cost to re stock my local syndicate water from VS Fisheries in recent months based on various stocking sizes and quantities 😂 Outstanding effort with the project 👌
Your a credit to your farther ❤️ he will be looking down with the cheesiest smile ever knowing his boys got his dream fishery I just hope it keeps getting better and better just like in every video honestly take my hat off to you I didn’t think you’d of sunken that much money into building it getting permission and all the other hoops and hurdles you had to go through honestly wish I could afford to come fish there one day but I totally understand the pricing is as fair as can be not only is it a one off lake with beautiful prestige fish but it’s your dream you don’t want any Joey coming on for a day session and ripping the fish apart honestly congratulations brother ❤️❤️ it shocked me massively how much the fish cost , I keep koi carp myself so I should of expected it but honestly don’t see anyone putting in the effort like you have to give it the best chance you’ve got , Ps get that fence out up all the best
Building your dream, Love it. Personally isn’t my bag but you can’t knock you for doing what you want. Fill it with roach skimmers and ide and have some winter matches 😍
Memories for a lifetime mate! Some stunning fish wish you nothing but luck with your adventure! Maybe 1 day i can get down to have a run or 2 myself from there🤞
loving the lake vids iv only started watching you and enjoying it miss fishing with my grandad never done it again sinmce he passed but really wanna get back into it again
Good luck with your venture. You could perhaps do a poll on what fish your subscribers would like to see in the lake. You might get some new blood to your lake.
Fantastic, congratulations, some great looking fish going in! Really interesting to see how the fish are grown and farmed too. I've got the Catch app and have added Fowler Fisheries to favorites, cant wait to be able to fish the lake. All the best! =)
I was surprised at the price, that’s roughly equating to over £500 each, here in Poland there are still quite a few places where you can purchase what you catch which works out just under £4 a kilo. £44 for an 11 kilo fish, most good fisheries here have their own breeding programme as carp are part of the traditional 12 dinners for Xmas which keeps demand and the prices sensible
well done mate, ive followed ur progress and ur lake is gonna be really good, great area as well. good luck maybe ill get to fish ur lake one day, we hire lakes out
I love your videos of how you make your payment, it's very good, my dream is to have my own lake hehe, I love your videos, I like to see how people make their fishing lakes hehe A greeting and good fishing
Slam 30 4/5lb tench init 15 good size perch just to keep things balanced leave out the roach and that they will be to much hassle n work later on and possibly over run the place if left ….. I suggest digging a smaller pond on site somewhere so u can have a sliver lake for kids to get in to the sport …. Jobs a good one for 10 years until maintenance needs carrying out
Your old man would be very proud of you mate..... I lost my old man in 2021 to... If there's anyway you could name a fish after him would be awesome.. his name was nige... Hi was a massive carp angler....👊👍🙏🤙
Mate, you've got osme amazing fish there, VS are just an amazing breeder of carp. I've got some in my mere garden pond. I recently had a lone C4 (13.5lbs) common delivered by Simon himself a few weeks ago, and it was just an excellent experience meeting him and chatting carp. Worth every penny!
Gotta move to the US, an build a 20 acre lake and that’ll be the dream. That’s my dream. Build a huge lake and fill it up with fish so when my family, cousins, friends come they’ll have a blast at my home
Don't understand that you've stocked it, but haven't installed an otter fence yet, probably should have been the 1st thing you done. after filling it with water. Enjoyed watching all your vids and good luck with your venture.
Nice stock of fish real nice. Love to see the process of building this lake. One thing I really don't like is the blue dye in the water it looks so unnatural. I'm from the Netherlands and you will never see that here it's probably forbidden as well
as a lifelong fisherman, I can say this is every fisherman or fisherwoman's dream...Beautiful Job my friend! you're father would be super proud of you and for sure is up in there slammin huge fish! Much love brother!
That picture of you and your mom, with "Big Kev" is brilliant mate 🙏 your Dad is for sure very proud of you ❤

Love it mate, dad would be proud. But as a pike fisherman, I would love to see some monster pike in the lake ❤️
Fair play to you mate your dad would be proud keep it up

Perch are a predator fish so would want to hold of a few years and let the fish spawn before introducing them if not adding and silvers
Love the vid, now all you need is peg’s dotted around the pond
awsome fish.. hope all goes well🎣
Brilliant dude so pleased for you mate
Your dad is a don mate. I hope I can do something similar for my kids ❤
Your old man would be very proud of you mate..... I lost my old man in 2021 to... If there's anyway you could name a fish after him would be awesome.. his name was nige... Hi was a massive carp angler....👊👍🙏🤙

Well done looks awsome pal 🎣🐟
Congrats mate.. what a journey. Enjoyed watching the vids
Good look, they look stunning fish. Hope you give free fishing to whoever catches big kev first
Well done buddy ❤
nice carp mate
love your lake journey
well done all brilliant :)
Good luck some beautiful fish good choice 👍
Well done some great looking fish
Mate, you've got osme amazing fish there, VS are just an amazing breeder of carp. I've got some in my mere garden pond. I recently had a lone C4 (13.5lbs) common delivered by Simon himself a few weeks ago, and it was just an excellent experience meeting him and chatting carp. Worth every penny!
And your ginger. All the boxes ticked! Just subbed to your channel
You absolutely legend bro I can’t wait to fish this and appreciate the sacrifices and effort you guy’s have put in to this masterpiece ❤️
Effort yes. Sacrifices wtf are you going on about?!
Ben you could have a full social with all your pals and everyone gets to name the fish! Then call one Sam too 😝
Gotta move to the US, an build a 20 acre lake and that’ll be the dream. That’s my dream. Build a huge lake and fill it up with fish so when my family, cousins, friends come they’ll have a blast at my home
Don't understand that you've stocked it, but haven't installed an otter fence yet, probably should have been the 1st thing you done.
after filling it with water.
Enjoyed watching all your vids and good luck with your venture.
What a series mate. 1 day I hopefully come down to fish. Well done 👏
Amazing 👏 🤩 🙀
amazing series
You remind me of that lad who was telling a story about a stag doo. "The greatest day of his life"😂 looks it up Thomas Gray. Stag doo.😂
Oh wow 🤩 some mega fish 🎣 might have to bite the bullet and use the catch app for a booking 👀
Loved these vids, very interesting. Whens the next episode Benedict?
What a milestone, well done Ben and wozzer's those fish.🔥👌🔥👌 When r u doing an update on the day ticket pond?
GL WITH THE FISHING MATE DREAM OF MINE TO OPEN UP MY OWN LAKE WITH CARP
That's crazy man.. i know the farm very very well. Mate lives on it 🤣
Come to South Africa here you don't pay for mirror carp you just catch them and stock you pond 😅😅 and for us we have a lot of fish
Fair play ben keep up the hard work. #baller
Will definitely need more species.
Wat a good video to learn for in the future,… what you need to do to have a own fish pond
Nice stock of fish real nice. Love to see the process of building this lake. One thing I really don't like is the blue dye in the water it looks so unnatural. I'm from the Netherlands and you will never see that here it's probably forbidden as well
Thanks! The blue dye looks completely different now the fish are in! Going to cover how much its changed in an upcoming video!
Abousle amazing pal 🎉🎉🎉🎉
