Hello from Centreville Michigan in the USA. I enjoy your videos and like the awesome and gentle way you handle the fish. I love carp fishing and do a lot of it meself in our river that we live near. It is the thrill of the catch that keeps me going back! We have a saying here that A bad day of fishing is better than any day at work.

Unlucky mate you have those days! Keep persevering and live to see you back there and catch a chunk. Anyway your rod setup is dreams

Another great blog shame no chunks were landed.... Who ever thumbed down this video is a complete helmet ! You and Lee seem to have a right laugh when fishing its good to watch ! Keep up the good work Chris i await the next instalment

Brilliant video matey,gutted for the 2 blankers but these things happen.....tight lines bud 🎣🎣🎣🎣💯

great video, enjoyed watching it cheers lads. bit harsh at the end though. as we viewed the guy opposite landed a lump, so not sure why you knocked it. paying money doesn't mean big fish, might need to look closer to home. no offence meant.

I enjoy it. Thnx.

Another great video Chris and the lads. Unfortunate results. I'm sure the Monument staff wont be happy with the comments at the end, but you told it like it is - £60 for 36 hours is scandalous in my opinion, and for 2 fish under 10lb? Nah. I look forward to the next one!

Another great video mate, next time you will get a Big one!

Id rather go down the river peace and quiet proper angling and proper carp !

Hi Chris still a good watch as always, shame the place didn't live up to expectations, £60 for 36hrs sod that and on top of that only being able to feed the boilies they sell ! That's out of my league.

yet another nice 1! did u c carl and alex's vid they did at monument?

We had a Teamblank super session and hired that whole lake - one of our guys had a 9lb fish and that's all 😫

unlucky on your first visit chris but still a great vid as usual

Good video guy's on a tough venue the comments below are mostly total shite people talking total bollocks listen all carp lakes are artificially stocked in one way or another as the carp were originally introduced by man the monument is the modern face of UK carp fishing get over it if u don't like these waters don't go and 60quid ain't that expensive look at linear hunts it's just over 60quid for forty eight hours so roughly the same price as are countless other waters the majority of carp fishermen now fish for big fish it's all about the weight so all you moaners commenting here are the minority in the carp world all the shite too they are only simmos etc don't make me laugh if you caught a 40lb one tomorrow you would be doing cartwheels don't be hypocrites and just accept carp fishing for what it is if u like low stocked pits for one bite a year well enjoy

I agree with what you're saying, but that's all in the past, you won't boycott Rob Hales waters as a hell of a lot of people fish his waters, and he's well respected by many anglers here and abroad, and if you don't want to fish his waters then don't, sure I value you're opinion, but that's all it is...an opinion

does mick brown still hold the monument record? ? he csught it while filming wet nets

hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

not good ck, its a lot of money to scratch around for a pasty :(

What a Con Chris!

Hole in the ground. Any muppet can fish it regardless of skill and experience. Not my idea of carp fishing. Give me a low stocked unfished lake any day. No challenge in these commercial fisheries. Just turn up and chuck to the middle. Bollocks

Was u on 1 or 2

Can you zig fish there

What pegs did you fish?

Please dont tell me you are going back there. Those venues are everything thats wrong with carp fishing. You have to use their bait. For fuck sake. Its all about money. Rob Hales other lake Ringstead was stocked with fish stolen from Lac du Der by Kevin Maddocks and he brought them across the channel in sacks and water tanks illegally, bringing all sorts of risks of contamination to our waters. £60 for 36 hours? Absolute piss take. Boycott these venues, dont advertise them.
