I think this is one of the best carp video's I have ever seen. A very talented angler and brave young man to come out about his mental health issues. I think ESP are lucky with Alfie and Terry to have two of the most talented carp anglers this country has seen.

This fella has a serious Album, for his age he would put these so called names to shame, Growing up in London this Lad is an inspiration, I commend him in not just his angling, in his out look, how he carrys himself, Hes an all round nice guy ..

Matt The Taffy well said that man!!🤘

A very old head on young shoulders. Clear high watercraft skills, insight into the behaviour of the urban and countryside Carp scene. This lad is the essence of fishing. He understands what fishing is all about, not a commercial tackle tart , just pure wild fishing and pure fishing. The future of angling.

Nice to see him mention the struggle of real life and how corona effected a lot of us especially anglers. Big ups boss

Really enjoyed this, a fascinating insight into Carp fishing in urban London, and what a great guy Alfie is. Good luck mate, and a very shrewd move by ESP...how about a week session with the great man Mr Hearn and Alfie...think I would pay to see that one.

Incredible fish captured by an all round passionate angler. Alf's album will always be special and when it comes to catching these unknown carp there aren't many anglers that could do this. The effort and time he puts in makes all this possible. Another exception carp, well done Alf 👏

Another terry hearn love the story telling of the special carp that they target well done alfie excellent

Absolutely loved this video Alfie. Spoke to me a great deal not only fishing wise but personally with your struggles with anxiety and panic attacks recently. Just wanted to let you know that your aren't alone buddy. You're obviously an amazingly talented fisherman and thanks for sharing such great stories, one of the best KZread videos I've watched for a long time. Sending u positive vibes brother. ✌️

For the 18 people who gave this a thumbs down , go take up golf because fishing isn’t for you . Well done Lad beautiful carp

look at the way alfie listens to exactly what he is being asked he doesnt interrupt and he answers with clarity in response straight away i see the natural trait of a craftsman ,id say hes a very quick learner and a natural ,some people,ie hearn have the ability to draw you in and you just become absorbed by this ,the same as i get when i go fishing becoming one with the surroundings ,amazing look forward to more

A young little Terry hearn in the making glad he's gone over to you lot, next a Terry and alf social 👍

Rod Hutchinson always said .. 'Catch 'em on your own terms' .. of course, he was right ! Well done Alfie, great story and a lovely old carp.

What a Dinosaur of a carp that was. Big ups. Also, very good storytelling, not short at all from how Terry usually talks. Which is a huge complement.

Battling big carp, mental health issues a sabbatical from the sport you love.. Only to return stronger and more focused than ever. Well done Alfie a young legend in the making. Peace and love be with you

Superb film, Alfie has come a long way, I don't mean that in a patronising way. He is a pleasure to watch.

Yet another perfect watch from ESP 👌🏼 Been following Alfie for a while now. Massive fishing talent (not just carp), and a joy to listen to and watch. Keep strong Alfie and great to have you back 🙌🏼

Well done for talking so openly about your mental health Alfie. Having been there too, I know how hard it can be.

Really feels like a good place for Alfie, nice one ESP

This video is amazing..so beautiful the way you talk about angling and the fish. What comes across to me so strongly is not only your love of fishing but your deep love and respect and care for the fish. At the same time you are talking about life experience ..it's unique and so original...the way you have taught yourself..the way you do it...and the way you talk about it....just beautiful...!!!

Keep on fishing on your own terms, Alfie. Amazing fish. Great story. Brilliantly produced.

Well done Alfie, you are definitely a young Terry hern, and thanks for sharing it with us. Keep positive and keep up the good work

Fantastic video,once young lad now Man with Family,straight from the heart well done Alfie & ESP 👌

Ive watched this 10 times now, what a film 🤯🤯🤯👌

That carp at the beginning is an absoulte stunner!!!!!!

Alfie is a real credit to our sport. He comes across as a really chilled, intelligent lad. I bet a fishing session with Alfie would be amazing. 🐟🎣👍😊

Cracking video, one of the best carp interviews/docufilms I've seen in a long time.

The urban Chris Yates, AAlfie can tell a gripping story.

Quality Alfie and ESP. Brilliant bit of story telling and angling.

I've watched you from the beginning and being a commercial bass fisherman you either have it or you don't and you certainly do my friend, you are the next Terry hearn and I'm sure you will go very far in your fishing career, an absolute joy to watch a star in the making 😁👍👍

What a wonderful film and capture of a truly special carp . Off the beaten track 👊🐟🎣

Glad you re found your love of fishing Alfie life can be difficult at times but you've shown you can rekindle that love again hope you keep that fire burning . What an amazing creature that big red one is

Well done Alfie, keep doin what you love, and well done esp, keeping it about the passion for fishing and not drum and bass and product placement, fishing films for anglers and not just the kool kids. Top stuff.

Great background story..lovely filming...as others have said a young Terry Hearn......

Thank you for sharing this Alfie. Great story telling and great fish captures .

You are an inspiration to both young and old , so thank you and please continue your journey

That was a great film, some epic carp, well done Alfie, glad you are getting over your illness, all the best for the future.

Love your outlook on fishing Alfie been watching you for the last few years love to watching your vids mate gives me back my enthusiasm for angling 👍👍👍👍

You absolute legend i can relate to every word you said catching those fish is just magic keep going mate great attitude 👍🏻

Phenomenal vid again from ESP and Alfie. Beautifully honest about the struggles. The agony and the ecstasy eh!

Another awesome film. A proper special old carp that one! 👌🏼

Angling companies should hook up with mental health charities! Fishing is the perfect medicine to help out the younger generation..and in return the companies get more angler's on the bank.

Such a good comment! Angling of any sort has helped me more than any anti depressants they’ve put me on👍🏼 something about the fresh air and calmness is addictive

What an incredible looking mirror. In all my years fishing, and looking at carp photos, I’ve never seen a carp with those colours, a true hidden gem, and well kept secret, LOVE THAT. You truly are an inspiration to many, that are unable to spends loads of time fishing on a bank, and in true form, that watercraft and location are in fact the most important aspect to catching carp than sitting behind rods for days at a time. Wish you best of luck in your future and your roads of recovery around your mind set and well being. Look forward to your next fishing video.

Two peas in a pod - Alfie and Terry. ESP what a great acquisition Alfie is...magic. Glad you found your old self Alfie. Keep finding those cracking beasts and telling us the story!

A lovely young angler....very smart....great application and skills, wonderful film, thank you for posting.

What an absolute beetroot that carp was! Good angling Alfie.

can't wait to watch this

Unbelievable carp well done Alf. Nice to hear your getting through anxiety I was suffering so bad when I stopped smoking blunts. Never forget everything starts and ends in your mind, what you give power to has power over you, if you allow it too. Stay strong.

Well done Alfie, great video and glad you have your passion back again buddy, take care! :)

What a legend, to come back from bad times and catch a carp like that! Alfie, your a top bloke, massive well done 👍🏼

bad times? how bad were those bad times? He didnt fancy going fishing for a bit and realised social media is shit? Trust me, there are people in far worse situations than that!!

Top draw Alfie, thanks for sharing your expertise. Keep them coming AR & ESP.

13:45 that must be one of the most beautiful carps in the world i've seen it before still makes a voice in my head saying wow when i see it!

Amazing video !!!Gotta love Alfie he’s a legend in the sport well done

Can’t wait for the next video 👌

9.40 stretch of river used to have a lot of carp and bream in it . Some huge ones at that . My Carp PB and my bream PB come from stretch of river (38.4lb and 17.1) . It also used to have some huge pike too . A lot of them fish have been taken and still are for the dinner plate . The rest of the fish have been decimated by 2 major pollution incidents . I was night fishing the second time it happened . It was so dark i couldnt see anything . When the sun come up , the knocking of my rod i had experienced all night (I assumed was crap coming down the river) turned out to be hundreds of specimen sized fish belly up washing down the river . I phoned the EA and reported it straight away . As i walked back to my car , many hundreds of dead specimen sized bream , carp and a few barbel had been caught up down stream where the river gets wider and shallows up . At that part of the river , all reeds protude the surface (7.30) . It was like a dead fish dam . It stayed like that for over 3 weeks until the EA finally turned up to clear it . The smell was terrible .

Loved it, well done all involved.

Stunning stuff, and doing it the right way as well, great attitude to his fishing 👍

Absolutely loved it hes really nice lad and great angler lovely carp well done m8 well deserved 👌👊

Seems the perfect move for Alfie joining ESP. Will take him to another level. Nice video.

Got to my spot early saw the right signs. They showed up had a double take The 22 and a 14.. Well chuffed. Thank you esp
