Get him on Monster Carp!

Carl is the one of the most honest guys you'll ever see "on the tele" or KZfaq, his Fishing content is so different to anything else and pure quality too Brilliant Podcast Carl 👏

Carl and Alex set the bar! And Carl continues to bring fishing videos to new heights! Me and Tom at Snagged Bro are very grateful to have you as 'competition' (if we can even consider ourselves as that) as your vids constantly inspire us to create better content in order to 'catch up'. It goes without saying that without your channel ours wouldn't be as good! Looking forward to the future of fishing videos!!!! Ya breath 👊🏼

Carl should be on Monster carp!!

He needs to be the 3rd monster Carp member this lad deserves everything he gets as his worked hard to get there and wish him all the best in his future 🎣🎣🎣

I want to give a big respect to this young guy! You are watched not just in the UK, I'm from Serbia and I can't wait every week for the next video! Big thanks for your effort! Keep it up! 💪💪💪 Greetings from Serbia! 🇷🇸 🇬🇧 🇷🇸 🇬🇧

Amazing just love your honesty Carl. Your a credit to all youngsters, I gave up fishing when my wife and I had children .You and my youngest convinced me to start back up fish now my son and I go on fishing holiday spending quality time together. Now my son is dating and they have taken up fishing it’s fantastic we all spend so much time together. So thank you for your influence.

Speaks for the youth, I agree get him on monster carp 👍👍 also the first podcast I’ve watched all the way threw 👌

I thought it would be great to have Carl back on since the changes! Such an honest guy, a great ambassador for the sport

Carl and Alex's videos helped me to have the confidence and know how of how to tie my own rigs and to a good quality. I used to always but pre tied rigs and now I can do it by myself. Aside from that the tips and tricks Inc fundamental basics of carp fishing along the way have helped me so much. The level of detail and effort gone into their videos is crazy and imo under appreciated. I love the fact they (carl now) keep things simple as that's all you need it to be when carp fishing.

Carl (and Alex) really brought a different approach to angling content that simply no-one else can replicate. They’ve brought angling to a different audience who’ve grown up watching them - well done and best wishes for the future to you both

there needs to be more people like carl and Alex in the world amazing role models for young people great pod cast

Always love watching Carl, you are inspiring human being, what I love about you. Beside the Korda guys, you learned me a lot from your on fishing tutorials channel and also the venues you go to inspire me to go and visit also. Don’t ever stop Carl keep going. Love watching Alex’s channel too his bee 🐝 keeping is fascinating, I’m nearly sixty Carl n if I had my time again I would love to follow your path, so happy for you n your family, keep em coming Carl 🎣🐟👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😉👍

Generally don't post comments but thought i will and have to say this was the most awaited podcast so far was always hoping for another Carl podcast. Very interesting to hear about the difficulties of making videos and the negativity faced which is unfortunate, to see this nowadays. Carl keep doing what you're doing, love your content and Rich brilliant podcast very insightful. thank you guys

I remember the first time i stumbled across Carl & Alex fishing the Secret. I was pulled in by there passion for angling catching small carp on a hidden little pond! I was hooked I couldn’t get enough after that! There casting skills in that video where like nothing I had seen before. They made me seek out local ponds I would take my Polaroids and look for signs of fish and now I have my very own secret. Cheers Lads and I love Alex’s channel makes me want to buy a van and travel the UK fishing 🎣

What a lovely guy! Watched him for some time now, genuinely one of the loveliest guy on KZfaq and I’m sure in person too

What a lovely fella! Loved this podcast as we got a true insight into the life of Carl and Alex. The world needs more people like Carl! 👏👏

Absolutely wonderful! Full stop.

Loved this, thank you so much guys! 👍😎

I live in the USA I owe everything to Carl and Alex. Learning from their videos, especially the Fishing Tutorials channel has transformed my fishing!!

Nice one Carl…awesome to see your passion for fish and fishing as strong as ever!

A real treat to discover what makes Carl, Carl. Long may fish with Carl continue.

Great to hear about a great journey . Good luck to you Carl and your brother !! 😊

Carl is already a legend in my eyes! The fishing community needs more people like him! And fair play to Danny and Korda supporting him with no strings attached!

An absolute credit to himself and uk carp fishing a great inspirational young man. Well done Carl 👏

2 really great guys chatting open & honestly = a great podcast .. credit to you both

Such an awesome angler and KZfaqr. 🤟

You don't just inspire kids Carl you inspire adults too who have perhaps lost their way or have become disenchanted with fishing. I am almost 50 and thoroughly enjoy your channel. This world needs more people like you in all walks of life.

What a guy , a wonderful and refreshing look into his fishing views abd all that comes with it . Watching both carp and Alex grow has been a pleasure . Korda and fishing with Carl are the KZfaq videos Are my go to !!!! All the best for everything

Amazing!! Been waiting for you guys to get Carl on here. Smashing it Rich well done.

The boy! You inspired me to fish mate now me and my dad are inspiring others only 6 months in! Keep going Carl 🎣💤❤️

I am astonished. This young man is an excellent example of all that is good about Britain. He is is thoughtful intelligent and searingly honest. I went fishing yesterday for the first time in 15 years after watching his videos. I'm going again tomorrow. I had forgotten how much I loved it. Thanks Carl, I wish you all the success in the world.

Watched Carl's videos with his bro when he was kid and still watch now and he's grown into a cracking young man.

Well done Carl , nice one . Always good to watch what ever you’re doing .

Great podcast and thanks for making it. Carl is an amazing ambassador for our sport and an inspiration for so many young and old. Keep going Carl and thanks for all your hard work.

Brilliant podcast, one of the best yet. Well done all!

Carl is such an inspiration honesty and integrity at all times and his films are second to none I'm a long time subscriber and will continue to be and look forward to every single video

Only just recently started watching Carls videos, Could listen to him talking about fishing all day.

As always an honest and humble Carl Smith. Been watching the bro's videos for many years and will continue to watch them both follow their own paths with interest. Nice one Carl.

Brilliant, honest and open podcast 👍🏿

great episode. carl and alex got me back into fishing, true inspiration

The passion he evokes and just the all round love of the sport is inspirational theirs no reduction push no B.S just 100% dedication amazing person carl never change

as someone who has only just returned to fishing after a 25 year hiatus due to "life" , I've only just discovered Carl's fishing vids, absolutely blown away, I wish I had vids like Carls to watch 45 years ago when I was a lad and first took up maggot drowning, keep on keeping on, you are an inspiration 👍

If this went on for another 3 hours, i would still be engrossed in the conversion. The whole podcast is easy to listen to and felt like this could have gone on for a little longer. Already looking forward to when Carl comes back again. Well Done Carl & Rich. keep up the great work

what an honest and genuine guy. my son has been so inspired and learnt so much from him!

I've watched for the last 4 - 5 years - Well deserved success which think deserves more. Great content that's different from the norm promo stuff - Brilliant.

true legend in the fishing world big up Carl 🎣

Absolutely incredible podcast Incredible guy 👍👍 Top work 🎣🎣🎣

Bloody outstanding. Such a young guy saying what every angler is thinking. This guy will stand the test of time because of his genuine nature, integrity and honesty. Fantastic breath of fresh air.

It's just dawned on me that I've been watching you Carl (and you Alex) for probably as long as you've been making videos! Thanks for sharing all this time and I'm just so glad you're in a good place personally and professionally.

I have fished for years and watched all sorts of anglers and channels, some good some not so good. This lad is great to watch. There is a simple enthusiasm in him and his content and this comes through clearly. As an adult who works with difficult young people for the last 25 years now I know the how fishing can have positive outcomes for them. Not everyone, but when you introduce the right youngster and you see how they get it, well its great. Its clear that's what he wants to. More power to you Fella.

Thoroughly enjoyed that, Carl your an inspirational person, looking forward to the new content 👍 keep it up 👍

This guy is amazing, such a nice genuine guy, and I had the honour and privilege to fish with him and it will happen again one day, keep smashing it mate! 👊🎣😁

Met Carl through working on his pond project. Really down to Earth chap that didn’t mind mucking in when our backs were against the wall.

Amazing. Love how genuine Carl is.

I Could honestly listen to what you have to say all day and I’m glad to hear that you don’t let the negative comments get you down anymore, as they are jealous not to be in your position but you should be proud of what you have created and what you are doing for the fishing industry, good on you mate 👍

Carl is such a humble talented guy, what stuck out to me was his comment regarding his treating of young fans, being a footballer I can never guarantee a certain level of performance on the pitch but giving time to fans, of any age is non negotiable and doing so means so much to them, big ups Carl 👊🏽

Superb Podcast Well Done Carl & Rich

First! This will be an amazing podcast, no doubt.

Excellent interview. I never heard of Korda Tackle until I started watching Carl’s fishing channel. I now have a tackle box full of Korda products. I wished I could have Korda products in our USA retail fishing stores.🎣

Carl is such a genuine bloke love every Video he’s posted and it’s nice to see a realistic fishing video 😊😊

Carl and alex are the best youtubers out there. Now they both have there own channel it's even better. I used to hate bees but I've found a love for them after watching Alex on KZfaq. To be fair they could put anything up on there KZfaq channel and I would watch it find them so genuine. I hope one day they do a meet and greet would love to meet them both ❤

Brilliant!!

Top fella and Alex is also worthy of a follow and support. Well done lads 👏🏻👏🏻

The best pod cast todate. Would love to see that trip to India come to fruition. Congratulations to all involved.

Big respects to Carl totally honest interview!!

Much respect for you Carl!

We love you carl

Was a great podcast! .. and Carl keep doing what your doing mate your the biggist fishing channel in uk! That's some thing to be proud of mate ... this has been a great eye opener for myself self and my channel .

What a lovely Podcast, so nice to to see a young man so genuine. One day Carl I'll tell you my name :)) Your fishing ethos and start(small farm pits) is the way I started, I have always fished such a passion.

Fishing with your brother brings a strange strength...hard to explain...30 years on we still fish together 👌🎣

Carl’s a very nice young man who has no doubt brought many anglers to our wonderful hobby. He deserves every success and having Danny with his outlook on life around him in some way is no bad thing. Credit to all.

My dad has got into fishing again in the last cpl of yrs, in his 70s and not fished since the 50s, I was surprised to learn he watches Carl's videos and did wonder where he was getting his bankside knowledge from.

Brilliant respect carl

my son and i have watched you from the start im 54 my son now 21 hes a very good angler now and realy enjoyes the exprences he gets from carp fishing you are an insperation to many x good luck to the future xx carl x and alex xx rob & josh west sussex

Amazing Carl you such a great guy. I will still watch you at 75 lol. I love your videos. Well done on your success you deserve it.

great podcast, Carl is realy genuin RESPECT in what he does!! I have made a few films and put them on youtube, the filming is a pain on your own. so respect for all the ppl who do it and keep doing it as I just want to fish (the filming is block on the fishing) ... and Rich is the perfect hoste for this podcast (long may this last!!)

Top man Carl 🙌🙌🙌

I wasn't expecting to watch all of this but it was fantastic.

Great podcast

As ever, superb 👌 a grafter with a good heart

Carl comes across as such a top guy, me and my son both love his videos. I only really started fishing properly 3-4 years ago and ive learned so much from his channels. It was nice to listen and hear his life story. Wishing him and Alex continued success with their channels.

Been watching Carl and Alex for about 14 yrs now the early years should I say was gutted when you parted. Wish you both all the best hope you continue to inspire people to get out on the bank and I have a feeling it’s only the start 👍👍

What an inspirational young chap who speaks a lot of sense. If I'm honest, not watched much of your stuff at all Carl, not because I don't like it, I just don't watch many of anybody at all for good few years (more to life I realised than being glued to my phone lol). I watch 2 things only religiously and the korda podcast is one of them. However, you can bet I will now tune have a watch here and there (probaly bankside in winter months on long dark nights) as I feel I understand what you stand for as a person. Great podcast as always. Well done Rich and Carl.

Carl is lovely chap, who i ve been watching so long he is a part of me. he is honest about the struggles of life, humble and appreciates the beauty of nature and the fish. Unlike the big names who only show when they catch monster carps, he shows and tells about when things arent go perfect, and therefore Carl has my absolute trust.

Open honest likeable talented and deserving of all his success. And I find myself at 57 learning from home not only from his fishing but from his life lessons .

Good stuff mate! Keep it up! Keep your misses happy bro as you e got a good one 👌

Monster carp needs Carl !!!

John Wilson, Chris Yates, Bob James, Bernard Venables, Spooner, Ali, Dan, Dovey, Carl and Alex, probably missed some off the list but all can be accredited to making fishing more loved than we already loved it, first class pod as always chaps, well played 👏 👏 👏

Fantastic interview, what a great guy he has respect and love for the sport its a shame other youtubers aren't as pastionat about fishing.

Carl I no it might sound redicelous but you’ve encouraged my passion and now going to start my own Chanel to get self confidence up thanks too you

You should never be worried about following your gut, me personally I watch your videos because I like watching you. Although I love fishing, your videos are not just fishing to me there stories about you and your life and it doesn't matter what the content is I know I will love them. For example I hate bees with a passion but I watch alexes videos because there fun to watch and he's telling a story of somthing that he loves. Keep up the good work your doing an amazing job❤️

Carl: i know 3 people. thats enough people. 😂😂😂😂 im with you on that bud.

You not what carl every bloody credit pal talking about your young life mate. Fair play I've watched a few vids of of u both and to wasent keen at first and then kept with it and thought u no what these 2 young lads are doing a top job and ive watched yer pike vids which I'm new to and taken a few tips which I'm grateful for so thanks fir that...keep up the good work buddy... 👏

Love there channels.

This guy is class.

Only started fishing recently and it feels like he taught me to fish lol 😆

Brilliant pod cast , hopefully it carries on until he’s an old man 🎣👍

Facsinating interview Carl; like yourself I was driven from an early age though my passion was all things diving and that was how I determined my future. I got to the top level of the sport and even ran diving magazines for over a decade working with the best divers in the world (if you've seen the film 13 Lives about the Thai football team; the rescue divers Ric, Jason and "Harry Harris" all wrote for me) . Then one day, through a diving related medical issue I found myself forced to hang up my fins. I realise now I went into a depression as I was only in my 40's and the last 25 years had been so focussed and dedicated. However (promise this isn't that depressing!!) I found that I was able to in a way re-invent myself and purpose - bet you can't guess what the next obsession became! 😆 . Anyway, just to say keep reinventing - keep looking over the horizon - stay fresh. Thats what lifes enthusiasts naturally do - we can't help it! Onwards and upwards

Still love your content Carl very good channel😀
