Carl - I speak for everyone when I say well done. Not only on smashing an incredibly tough water, and persevering, but for the story telling, cinematography and world class editing. I’m so blessed to call you a friend and I love seeing how you push yourself to the limits for the entertainment of your fans and followers. Keep up the exceptional work, and stay in touch ❤️
Exactly what they☝️ said lol !!!! I'm so incredibly impressed with everything you and Alex do! Your so smart the two of you, and you have such fantastic work ethic and drive to succeed it's inspiring! It really is! You both make me want to do more, go harder, push further and keep going! And the story telling and edits are , muah , 🤌 😘 chef's kiss 💋! Lol . Thank you for sharing your knowledge and journey with us! (P.s. can't wait till I can get some stickers for the hubby, he's obsessed, lol 😂 !!)
Awesome comment, we loved watching the videos they done with you in them, there is a lake near me with a 106lb cat :)
I agree so much he will have a great future Alex is jokes wish u both the best
The editing, the adventure, the fish, the whole film.. Everything is just perfect!!
Except that notorious M25. So glad to have retired from truck driving and moved to Aus away from that dam ring road. Great video.
Thank you so much! :)
ah..na na na nah...its 87,5 percent perfect...🤣😉
"We've done it"
Says it all about you as a person. Well done mate, keep it up!
Does Xav have a channel or Insta
Best video yet, your tenacity, and determination sets this channel above all others. Really felt your despair and elation. So much graft put in, and your triumph thoroughly deserved. This was EPIC on every level. Well done, mate. Plus zavs barbecues looked amazing. 10/10, Al!
the editing, story telling, music choice, amzing fish, evverything about this video was just amazing. one of your best videos from the last year. looking forward to the next ones!!!
Your content just keeps getting better and better mann, dare I say it..... Carl and Alex becoming just Carl has improved BOTH of your channels for the best. So so glad it didn't go the other way for either of you 👌
Stunning mirror Carl, persistently using your watercraft payed off. Looking forward to your next adventure 🎣
cough cough Ingatestone essex. tell me im wrong carl.
The quality of the videos just gets better and better and for all that hard work over they days shows you should never give up no matter how challenging it may get
So I had all my tackle stolen in December, it really knocked my confidence and passion for carp fishing knowing how long it will take to buy it all back. But watching this video has re-sparked something and given me the motivation to start to rebuild my kit, thank you! Awesome video!
Man, I'm so sorry to hear that. That must've been gutting :( Thanks so much mate, happy hear the film helped to inspire you back into wanting to re-build your kit... that's amazing. All the best with it! Tight lines. C
Absolutely amazing Carl,brilliant mate,even my 8 year old daughter couldn’t take her eyes off the screen and said at the end how good she thought it was, I’d say it’s one of your best yet👍
A bittersweet session with one that got away but also an advocate for perseverance paying off. You must be so proud of landing that beauty chuffed for you bud. That memory of catching that mirror on an incredibly tough water will last a lifetime
thank you so much carl for getting me into fishing! im 11 and only started in November but since then i have been obsessed with fishing and going in my free time.
thanks again carl, Max
Happy to hear that Max!! You're so welcome! All the best with it :) Tight libes, C
I have wanted to fish this "lake" for 30 years and often wondered what was in it. Thank you for answering my wonderings. Green is my natural colour, honest. Looking forward to more episodes.
nice to see you going out there and doing it, local lad myself but never had permission! buzzin to see the tales are true
Cheers William. Was special to see it :)
Nobody does B roll better than Carl Smith, period.
"he has a lake in his back garden" yeah I was not expecting that place!!! Awesome and very jealous!
Man, me neither!
There is something about the unknown . It has a feeling I think that's better than hitting a water knowing that there's a 40lber . The phonecall from Ali , a reasonably well known angler 🤣 I'd lose my mind with a phonecall from a legend like that . Love the content keep up all the hard work and it will always pay off 👌
Awesome story! Thank you. I can relate to the fact of not having success at a new venue but keep wanting to go back. Same thing happened to me when I started fishing a park lake this year. I just had to go back. And only landed a carp on my 5th session. The feeling is amazing! Keep up the good work. You have no idea the impact that all of your videos had on my success as an angler. So much so that I can now help other people and young kids who are starting to fish. My first piece of advice to them are to go and watch all your videos.
Hi Carl, I know you probably won’t read this but I just want you to know that your videos are like therapy for me. I watch them whenever I’m relaxing or doing something where I can divide my concentration between the task and one of your videos. You inspire me to get better at fishing and to try new techniques and approaches. Thank you for your work and keep up your wonderful style, there really are only a very few creators who stand out like this for me.
Already excited and I haven't even watched it yet! The fact you've been trying to crack this nut for so long and that opening shot is giving me reservoir diary vibes! Thanks in advance.
Edit: Have now watched, can confirm, epic!!! Well done both of you!!
Ai mate awesome content and incredible land & lakescapes. I don't usually comment on videos but i couldn't stop myself from expressing myself in this one! I am a youtube too and its watercolor am crazy about and i hope you don't mind me painting some of those beautiful scene from your videos. One last request..be gentle with those fishes you catch. God bless you wooo🤟
Carl you have come such a long way I have seen ur insta posts and I’ve been waiting for for this has been my favourites RUclips stories much respect for you and Alex alike keep up the videos
Keep up the hard work mate one good video never quid you put a smile on so many peoples faces bro 👊❤️🔥👏
❤️ Thank you mate. Means a lot.
Without a doubt, best video yet.. 👌
So much time for these campaign videos.. Monumental effort well done Carl. 😃
Wow amazing it made the hairs on my arms stand up
❤️
You're an extremely lucky chap to be allowed to fish that lake,I know they have armed security on hand.ive always dreamt of fishing it but I'm happy to see you catch one from it, well done,an awesome result 👍
Cheers Phil :) Yes very grateful to Xav
i know the feeling of excitement catching the fish you've been chasing for so long, I still havent caught a jewie yet....check out my dodgy video of my friend catching one still one of the best fishing trips out.
At the edge of my seat for the whole video! With your knowledge you done the right thing to carry on, which paid off massively in my opinion. Great video Carl.
Amazing to hear that, cheers Ryan, glad you enjoyed it. Yeah for sure, sometimes you just have to dig in and keep going. Tight lines mate :)
Fancy asking xav if he wants to have a barbecue w me? Looks Delish🤣
Hahah, was epic.
Best episode you’ve done yet can’t wait for the next one ☝️
I fish because of you and I love it bro. Keep up the great work hopefully one day you will have your own TV show
What a fantastic video, Karl! And what an unbelievably beautiful carp! I applaud your tenacity!. The reward is massive! I actually had tears in my eyes when you landed the fish!
I’ve been trying to make a good fishing video for months but I can’t quite get them good enough. Every time I watch one of Carl’s videos it inspires me to try again. It’s hard as I’m only 12 years old and since no one I know has a clue about fishing. I’ve learned everything from your channel Carl.
Thanks for everything
Keep going!! It took me 16 years of practice. Fishing, editing and story telling really isn't a skill really doesn't happen over night, just got to keep at it! Keeping learning all you can, and gain new skills too. I learned a lot working for companies doing it too when I was a teenager :)
Carl never give up bro keep pushing you did a good job and to catch the same carp Ali did 20 years later was incredible congrats and well done.
Carl just watched this and listened to ur podcast big respect to u ur honesty and passion is so inspirational love what ur doing and what ur about can relate to so much of it myself well done mate keep doing it stay true xx
Fantastic Carl, hope you and yours are doing well buddy, thanks for sharing 👍
All well here! Thank you, hope you are too :) it's a pleasure!
Hey buddy do you remember my comments from years back. You're the best
Lovely content love these videos there so amazing well done for all of theses videos I enjoy them soo much can’t wait for more!! 🙏
I really enjoyed watching this video, I would have given up after the 4th session... Is it Ali Hamidi that caught the big mirror 20 years ago?
Yeah, can't believe how that played out. I had no idea before starting the campaign that he'd caught it.
That’s next level stuff for your channel
Carl, the scale of the campaign and the dedication and effort a film like that must take from the other end of the country. It’s fair to say you’ve done yourself proud on both counts-an amazing fish and a captivating, beautifully shot and edited professional film. Sit back and take in all the compliments-you’ve definitely earned them with this one🙂.
2:10 a Small fish lurking at the right side of the boat :)
Amazing video to watch. Never give up aye...may take a day, may take a week but its worth it. ✌🎣
I think you and your new buddy should head to France for a monster trip 🤔
What a special carp. Look forward to future sessions at the Mystery Lake 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
❤️ Cheers Si, was special to see it come out. Can't wait to get back there in Spring :) All the best mate.
Buzzing for this Carl. Been waiting since you mentioned this in previous vids.! Great watch as always mate 👏🏻👏🏻
Saturday is usually a slow day for videos from the people I subscribe to. It is always a treat to see a Fish with Carl video on Saturdays (as it would be any other day of the week). But this week I feel super lucky! The Fishing Tutorials video came out (which was awesome) AND a Fish with Carl video. That should hold me over for a while. Cheers Carl!
I have never sat this long to watch a guy catch one targeted fish. Well done with the story and film quality.
Haha, thank you Ralph. That's kind. Pleased you enjoyed it :)
Do you give me any tips for my fishing trip tomorrow
Oi Carl my carpy brother. This is brilliant man and to catch Sutch a old leviathan and a mega scaly one at that after all the hard work and drive is so rewarding to watch . Thanks for sharing this one with us all . And hope their are more adventures on the mystery lake. Big love Cee-Jay 👊💙👊🎣🎣🎣
What a gorgeous fish! Amazing video as always 🔥
Ahh thank you mate! Happy you enjoyed :)
This is what carp fishing is all about. I've lived this journey a few times on some different campaigns here in Michigan, making this film extremely relatable: the driving, the blanking, zero signs of carp, almost no information, the poor access, and most disheartening, your own mom and other close people telling you that it's a waste of time. But when you do finally land that one fish, the experience is almost incomprehensible.
Awesome as always look forward to the next chapter with anticipation 😜
❤️
wooooww that's a epic story and result pal 👍 and ali is my oldest favourite angler good to see your in a good circle of angler's 😁
Awesome
Let's go new vid 👌
Great video well done for catching the stunner😍
I have been despairing recently fishing along with the younger generation of anglers. It seems that so many young anglers miss the point of fishing! You and your brothers journey restores my faith in the younger generation. You encompass the very essence of fishing in every way. Well done for getting the whole experience right!!!! And more to the point teaching a new audience the path of the true angler. You are inspirational. 🙏
Ah that's so kind ❤️ Thank you so much Bob :) Happy to hear you think so, glad your faith has been restored.
In Australia carp are invasive and it’s illegal to return them to the water. We catch them a lot as bycatch chasing our natives so it’s hard to be interested in them. That being said that was one of the best fishing videos I’ve ever seen! Persistence pays off mate! Good on you for continuing you’re endeavour and not giving up despite pressures. I got goosebumps when you explained you caught the same fish that had been caught 20 years ago. Another great video as well as you’ll never forget that moment for as long as you live.
what a fish! i'd love to catch something that big 😄 but my biggest is 13.8lbs =(
Just about to watch can't wait
Bro, the writing gives lots to the video + the story itself
My opinion is keep the journals for more vids
Ok thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations on 400k subscribers your videos are the best!!🎉
Thanks Max! :)
What an awesome Story , You totally deserved your reward , apart from being a Smashing Fella , you put 1 great adventure together.
Well done Fella , and your so genuine with every Session you Fish. Your So unassuming you could show some of the supposedly Top Anglers how to come across 👍👍
Thank you so much Martin! :)
True essence of the campaign videos of old, the videos that truly inspired me to Pursue fishing over the last 10 years.
Carl, just wondering when you catch a big carp how do you get it to stop flapping and wriggling around?
Unfortunately it's not something that's controllable
@@fishwithcarl thanks 👍
Great Great video Carl, as we all know it can become testing to keep pushing after so many blank sessions, I admire and respect your determination to catch from that lake, top man 👍👌
Been waiting for this all week
All those Pike probably keeping the young carp numbers low.
Yes, possibly
That looks very challenging but that is sooo cool that you caught a fish that you thought was dead 20 years later
omg Carl!!!! this was epic bro, i loved how you persevered and fought on! i knew you would!
Good story telling on this one Carl
Watching ur video's it's like reading a book
Cool to hear that :)
I have been looking forward to this
Perfection at its best.
Come join me at folkestone Harbour tomorrow
Brother this is world world class. You are truly back firing on all cylinders
Thank you Tom. :)
@@fishwithcarl all thanks are to you my man! For taking the time and effort to make this for us. Top man
This is great storytelling Carl. I was tempted to skip but I didn't want to miss anything so I couldn't. The place is beautiful. You should probably name that huge carp. I hope we see the other stuff you caught with Zac.
Good idea, iI'd probably name it BIG AL after Ali Hamidi.
@@DunkinBiscuits I thought of Moby Dick but it's too predictable 🤣🤣🤣
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much Mel!
This is absolutely amazing
I knew that was the same carp Ali had as soon as you showed it! Thought you had the koi at the end lol.
Sweet video carl
Mad to see it! Thank so much Jack :)
I was wait by the munits
Your patience is admirable and congrats on 400k my wishes are with your success
Thanks so much :)
Cracking video Carl and I hope there’s more love to no what’s swimming in there . Tight lines Carl 👍🏻
What a top guy Zav appears to be
Yeah, he is :)
wow what a carp that was well in carl you smashed. cant wait for the others
What a amazing campaign. Your videos always inspired me to never give up when having a target fish. Can't wait for the next video!
part of the excitement is not knowing well fished mate 👍
Yesss, you know. Thank you man
Awesome fishing in a fantastic location with good company. Beautifully filmed as always! 👍🏻
Cracking video good to seee you enjoying yourself👍
Absolutely stunning! The location, the lake, you're storytelling, and that 35 pound carp at the end, all stunning! You're videos are getting better and better every upload! Cant wait for the next one,
Carl what an amazing story , well done to the both of you . I would of gone grey by session 3 then on session 6 i think i would of been bald LOL.
Thanks Earl! Haha ❤️
What an incredible story mate the huge mirror caught 20 years later and also the one that got away. Enjoyed it muchly. Im looking forward to the next chapter.
Glad you enjoyed it Barry, thanks so much
For anyone who is seing this comment never give up your hard work is always going to pay of NEVER GIVE UP💪🏾
Absolutely buzzed for you Carl, so much time and effort you had put in to make this happen and to think you caught the same fish as Ali, but at 35lb is unreal!
Sometimes defeat does stare you in the face but nothing comes easy and you got your prize with determination!
I believe there maybe more carp there and would love to see more of this mystery lake! Take care and tightlines from one Carl to another! 😁💙🎣🎣🎣
Thanks so much Carl!! Still can't believe it happend to be honest! Cheers :)
Excellent!
You certainly put the work in for that one.
What a brilliant video. I think what makes the videos on your channel stand out is your ability to tell a story. You can really take someone on the journey of all the emotions with you.
Absolutely awesome Carl
Absolutely fantastic video well done buddy thoroughly enjoyed watching you definitely have a way with words
Thank you L s, that's kind.
Loved it well done mate!
One can only say thank for such exceptional, inspirational and valuable free content here. Thank you for all the hard work and inspiration you give for many peoples fishing!
We fish a similarly hard and understocked lake here with unknown carp so for sure this piece here will keep us motivated! Take care!
❤️❤️❤️
Great !!
