Another great video, Carl. Enjoyed it a lot. The scene with the shoes had me in stitches. Luc is one of the best anglers. Before becoming the God of perch, he was a super pike angler. He started out as one of the most prolific carp anglers ever. So you were in the best hands.

Your videos are absolutely amazing. Always a blessing when a new upload hits my frontpage! Only started picking up angling as a hobby about a year ago when moving from Germany to the UK and your videos basically helped me from float fishing all the way to carp fishing which I now do most of the time. Broke my PB today with a 16lbs linear in my local club pond, not the largest one but super exciting. Keep it up Carl! :D

Hello from Australia! Mate I love your content. I had one of your videos in my 'Watch Later' play list for months and I finally watched it and it was incredible. It reminded me so much of another KZreadr I follow and you reminded me so much of him it was bothering me. Then at the end of the video I saw Alex and it suddenly clicked that you're brothers lmao great video! I feel like I know more about the British wildlife than I do about the wildlife around me. I need to fix that...
It amazes me how entertaining your videos are. I’ve watched so many fishing videos on KZread but you truly tell a good fishing story in every video! Hands down this is the best fishing channel on KZread. If you ever come to Florida to fish let me know and I’ll do my best to point you in the right direction. If you don’t mind me asking besides a GoPro what other cameras do you use?
