Great video thanks for the inspirational speaking helped me believe that people like in my school who bully me for what I love to do are wrong. Thanks

Blamed you for the fish dying so you went and caught it again!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Brilliant.

Who else wants a Reservoir Diaries Season 4?

The owners of this lake should ban for life the two bullies. Their behaviour should not be tolerated under any circumstances. Well done for never letting bullies beat you. A great video.👍

Literally the most hilarious thing in the world, you catch the fish they can’t. Then catch it again after they accuse you of killing it 😂 you lads are brilliant

Imagine being such a weak-minded human being that you get mad for someone beating your record, in my opinion, that would just be more motivation to get back on the bank. Love your world lads

Are there really anglers out there who get pissy and begin threatening because they get beaten at their PB's? That's just sad and pathetic. Good job guys, wonderful video!

As a 52 year old man, I must tell you how impressed I am of you guys, your journey, work ethics, attitudes, charisma, and your abilities. You're very inspiring! Doing what you love in spite of your obstacles is an amazing and awesome thing! Keep up the great work young men!

tell ya what lads...I'm a 65 year old and have just got back into fishing after a 30 year absence....I've just watched your video and am so glad I took up fishing again...... your full of enthusiasm and I love this.....take no notice of these other two fishermen trying to ''get ya sorted out''....bloody hell what's the matter with these guys....fishing is fishing for Christ sake....and those who do it enjoy it and long may it raine......it's not all about threats intimidation and other stupid things.....it's fishing for f**** sake .........get on with what you young un's are doing...what your enjoying.....tight lines boys.....!!!!!!!!!! Rob...in Warwickshire

I can’t believe there are other fishermen that try and break you down 🥵One of the reasons why fishing is so special is because you meet other people who share the same passion as you and most of them are always friendly and nice people in general

Those guys didn’t like the fact some lads younger than them had shown them up

What an incredible story that spans years and countless hours of filming. This is truly one of if not the best, dedicated, and passionate video I have watched on youtube to date.

All I can say is that your decision to go all out with your KZfaq channel was the best thing you could of done, the level at which you produce the vids is world class, keep living your dream and good luck.

I got more emotional over this vlog, than I did on my wedding day 😆 the angling world is a better place with you two in it 👍

One of the most amazing fishing documentaries I've ever seen in my life! Gave me the urge to go fishing right away. Well done lads! Amazing video

"And I'd have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling kids!" 😂

This is something that really annoys me in the UK, we seem to have a really divided angling community. I've been fishing since I was 6-7 years old, and the response to younger anglers has always been "that's fantastic!" Or "bloody young ones" I understand the water memberships and the benefit they can have, but too many of them have become old boys clubs, reluctant to invite new members or share. Several up in the north of england I've applied for, only to receive my memberships months later, a few days before their year ends, basically just taking my money. It's so great to see new and young anglers, but you can see why a lot of people get put off by events such as yours. Too many people set in their ways, with old fashioned views of fishing. Unwilling to educate, share or help. It's what makes your channel and others like it so important, it's an inviting and fresh view to angling, and portrays the sport in such a good light.

2 dislikes I think those anglers have watched it already, jealousy is a killer. Great video. 🎣🎣

I've never commented on a KZfaq video before, I just felt I had to after this one..... the reservoir diaries are your best videos 1 and 2 are great but this one..... 👏👏👏 the sunrise's, the venue, hard work, the drone footage is amazing, the carp and of course the triumph over jealousy and some of life's other problems so many of us face. Well done lads great inspiring work.

Lads this is a sensational video. How you don’t have a tv programme I’ll never know. You don’t need to like fishing to enjoy these brilliant work

Your parents did a very good job of bringing you both up.

Loved this edit. Shame about them jealous guys. Loved how you went and caught the big common again to prove it wasn't dead!

Loving the fact you guys are showing and explaining about the specific tackle changes your making and also showing the product. It really helps someone like myself that gets lost among the 1000's of products online.

Everything from the music to the production of this video is perfect. You guys are absolutely smashing it.

Stunning video from start to finish, the fish you caught (& didn’t), the bird life, the editing, and finally the end, Well done both.

I’ve always had people take the mick through school about me fishing but I’ve never let it bother me as it really is my only escape from everything else. Tight lines lads❤️

Ordered Pizza Hut for 12. Got the ciders ready. Been looking forward to this!

When I was 16, I fished a match, and caught loads(no help from anyone my own tactics) , I won the match, being the youngest there by a long shot and I had two bloke swearing at me and venting there frustration at the organiser of the match saying I should not be there and I am to young, Little did I know the main individual moaning was the top angler, I caught all my fish 6ft from the bank.

this is probably the best fishing episode I've ever watched not even joking, incredible work guys👍 hopefully see more of these reservoir episodes.

Honestly, I these should be put on Netflix, or atleast sold as a DVD, I would buy them😂

36:15. Of course Alex was lure fishing 😂

Just getting into Angling and I must say I think your videos are truly some of the best out there. Some wonderful fish, but an even more wonderful message, never let anyone drag you down or stand in your way.

21:09 where the bobbin twitched in the time lapse had my heart going. This isolation is getting to me now. Contemplating fishing my cichlid tank with a 1 1/2 ft kayak rod.

Wow 😯 this video is awesome, so emotional and with such a great message 💪

An actual 50 minute video that I can comfortably and enjoyable sit through. Such an emotional message u guys put through and u guys are so so so underrated.

The antagonisers are not true fishermen, they’re jealous of you guys and don’t have an ounce of sportsmanship/community/integrity. Love your channel’s 👍

You boys are an inspiration.. don't ever let anyone stop you.... Bullies are everywhere, I experienced it for years as a child but.. now I am a bullies worst nightmare... Intelligent enough to ignore, deflect and de-escalate but also perfectly capable of dealing with any physical aggression.. because of my bullies I found a love of martial arts, had a successful career as a prison officer (dealing with the worst bullies of all) and pushed myself beyond my own fears, bullies suck but now (25yrs later) I look back and thank the ones I used to fear, they helped make me me... If anything ever gets too much for you boys feel free to contact me for advice or help. Stay safe all, keep up the great work and much love.

Great video.....my god who needs a tv license when you upload content like this, you deserve all the success for your efforts.Thanks for sharing

I am Dutch. You guys set an example for the youth. How to handle fish, nature and just common decency. Take my hat off for you two. And as a 40+ lad i also enjoy your videos. High quality. Thanks for sharing.

The bond between you two is unreal... incredible work and keep up the good work

I Am a keen fisherman and this story brings me into loving it even more!! What an inspirational journey

Carl and Alex are 2 of the most inspirational people to ever step foot on the planet. If you watched this and you didn't smile and think that what they were saying was incredible then after lockdown and corona you need to go and get yourself checked out by a Psychologist

Probably the best carp Movie I've ever seen! Big respect for the many hours of quality filming and editing and that beside all the energy spend on fishing that beautiful lake! Great message guys!!!

This is one of the best fishing episodes i've ever seen, the story the landscapes the narration! 10+

I can honestly say I have watched 99% of your vblog the story behind this one and the result was fantastic

Carl, Alex...😃 WOW! This video had it all. Felt like it was over all too soon. A sign that it was quality. It’s hard to believe that there are people in the world who for whatever reason, choose to bully and cause grief for no apparent reason. I’m so happy to see that you both showed restraint and maturity through what I’m sure would have been a pretty distressful time. From being turned away, to years later being granted permission to fish the reservoir. You showed what it is to be proper anglers. To never give up. To push though the seemingly endless hard times. To go on though, and hone in on your swim of choice, and catch your trophy...That right there is the cherry on top. Well done to you both, for being persistent, for showing integrity, for being true anglers, but above all, for being decent honest lads! All the best, Chris

Outstanding! Not only inspirational to all anglers but great role models for the youngsters of today. Exceptional camera work, video editing and story telling. Well done lads!

This was absolutely amazing, this is quality content that is severely underrated. If you guys had a show i'd watch it

When the chips are down and other KZfaqrs are scrabbling around for content, you chaps come up with this epic stuff! Keep the content coming, great story telling ✊👍🙌🙌👌

Another masterpiece. And can we all just take a minute to appreciate that transition at 1:10 👌

I came across your channel today and I feel like it deserves a lot more attention, amazing content and brilliant production. This my new fave fishing channel on youtube AMAZING work both.

Watching this for the second time in months and I just can't explain how amazing this video is.Good on you guys! You are such an inspiration! Hope too see many more in the future. To you guys!🍺

Delivering inspiration In a world where it feels like time itself has stopped. Smashed it again. Form is temporary, Class is permanent.

The length people have to go to, to affect people fishing jealous small minded anglers just stick to your own fishing love the vlogs lads keep them coming

The finest video I've had the pleasure of watching. You put so much time effort and expense into your films. I really hope theres more sponsors out there to help your incredible journey to inspire people to never ever give up.well done Carl and alex

I started up fishing again for the first time in 15 years shortly after lock down was eased. After finding the channel all I can do is watch and think about fishing. Keep it up guys you are a real inspiration for all. 🎣🎣

Insanely jealous, epically inspirational, superbly edited. Loved the story that went with the fight, not just the catching of the fish, but just to be able to fish for them. Well done lads, really well done.

This film is a masterpiece. Amazing story telling, great filming and quality fish. Well done lads 👏👊

Wow! Not only are these two guys really, really good anglers but the quality of the video is superb.

Just now watching this video. I took a break from fishing for a year due to, well life, and have really picked it back up the past month or so. I’ve been catching up on your videos for inspiration. I’ve been following you two since you caught a catfish from a small canal in France. I’m from Colorado and I’ve managed three commons over 20 in the past month. Thanks for the inspiration and the best fishing content on KZfaq.

What a video to watch during lockdown, keeps me going at 3am whilst feeding my new born, please make more of these diaries!! Cant get enough!

Hey lads, i have watched you two from the very beginning and this is by far your best work to date! really enjoyed watching this, keep up the good work.

What a story! You guy’s are an inspiration. I myself am a float (carp)angler, but I love your videos. Keep on sharing your stories. Greets from Holland.

Great video. Two top guys. Superb angling. Your enthusiasm for fishing is unwavering and I think it will be that way for the rest of your lives. It was a pleasure to watch. I actually got goosebumps watching that line peel off, knowing there was nothing you could do about it. And people say it’s boring. I am just getting back into it after a 3 year absence due to bad health. Your video has just made me realise how much I have missed it. New line is on the rods, bait ordered. Lake ticket paid for, let’s go!!!! Tight lines Carl and Alex have a great season!!

I take my hat of to you guys, awsome footage, awsome chemistry, and adversity over what stands in your path to happiness, keep it up chaps, me and my son watched this in these strange times and for 45 mins or so, just forgot ourselves 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Just watched all three Reservoir Diaries, Season 2 being my favorite. You make some of the highest quality content on KZfaq, and definitely the best angling content. You can be damn proud of yourselves!

Love the way you capture the scenery and the story to go with the fishing. Excellent as always

Started fishing with my 12 year old son a couple of years ago and he recently got me onto watching you guys. Started on the fishing tutorials which by the way have massively helped us improve from using the right knots to handling the fish and catching bigger. This is the first time I've seen this video (been going through the more recent ones think I've watched everything now) but I must say wow thank you so much for your content your videos are brilliant. Hope to watch you for many years.

This was absolutely amazing. Literally the best fishing video I have ever seen on KZfaq. It feels like a documentary made by National Geographic or Animal Planet, but better. Much better. Inspiring work. Keep on doing this and I'm sure you guys will truly make it big time.

Brilliant loved everything about that guys .The message the presentation the story a fantastic peice of filming .Totally inspiring well done 👍👍

love you two lads. me and my kids love watching you pair. even if you are freshwater fisherman. I'm a sea fisherman, but I still love watching you two. great message in this video. never let them bullies wins lads. you've got an army of subscriber's behind you.

Inspirational. This video lifts you above the subject of fishing and resonates in everybody's life to strive for more and never give up. Wonderful video.

"Just do what makes you happy" - no truer words spoken

wicked film again guys ... dont let the negativity get you down, the green eyed monster is an ugly beast!! well done guys and stay safe

I don't usually comment on videos but feel it is important to say the pair of you are an inspiration to others. With your determination and dedication and not letting the weak and hurtful people interfere with what you enjoy the most is a credit to you both. If these people put as much time into concentrating on their fishing one day they may achieve what you have. Only jealous hurt people try to hurt people, standing with your heads held high with nothing to be ashamed of has paid off.

Just watched this again. ‘There’s always someone who’ll get in your way but never give up’. I’ve just had my stuff stolen, totally cleaned out twice within a year of each other and I’ve thought hard about whether I want to carry on. But you’re right, I won’t give up. Just suck it up and go again. Cheers Carl, and Alex too.

Don’t ever comment on KZfaq videos but that was a cracking watch, one of the best fishing videos I’ve seen👍

The effort you guys put into this is amazing!

Being from the states I can’t say I fully understand the carp enthusiasm HOWEVER the cinematography and the story telling is Second to none! Ready for more adventures

I'm not an angler and have real no desire to go fishing but the quality of your videos always makes me come back for more. Bravo on not giving up! This was such an enjoyable episode. Great ending to it too.

Well done lads you kept at it put in the hard work over come the obstacles and finally got the reward you deserved great stuff 👏

Guys this was absolutely amazing, and good on you for not rising to those idiots, keep your heads held high and keep up the amazing work.

Two very level headed young men, nice to see you guys catching them big lumps, well done.

What an absolute awesome documentary, unbelievable tenacity and resolve shown and you reaped the rewards, brilliant, thanks for making this

29:05 love the improvisation of using the twig as you had no more bobbins available 😂😂 Top stuff 👌🎣

Truly epic guy's,, bullys never win would love to see you two on the telly.

So good to go back and watch this again, you both have come a long way and continue to live by your philosophy of never giving up on following your paths. Genuinely inspirational.

Watching this again to get me back in the mood for fishing after 2 years.... heading out monday on a local water 🤞

Cant wait for this lads!! The other seasons where great.

I almost got tears in my eyes when you finally caught that fish

Just watched this through for the second time ,, well done brothers you did your selves proud ,, this fish syndicate should be very proud to have you both.

When the new season is around the corner (but the first fish are already in the net) i just cant help but to find myself watching about as much videos of your channel as i can. This one might be my absolute favorite. My friend(s) please continue the awsome job.

I like how you just roasted the shit out of them 😂😂

Carl&Alex let me give you a insight into So called hard men. A . A truly hard man doesn’t bully two young kids. B. A truly hard man wouldn’t ever dream of sitting behind a keyboard threatening an abusing . C. You should never ever ever shy away from what you doing as the reaction you are getting means you doing something right. Real hard fighting men don’t I repeat DONT bully kids. The clues in the word BULLIES. Forget them they not worth the steam off your piss. 😂😂💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

I love how respectful you are of the fish. Thats really nice to see. I also enjoyed the background story: so many times fishing videos are just catch catch catch. You guys are a different sort and I'm really enjoying your videos. You got a new subscriber from Georgia, U.S.A.

This has become my favorite fishing channel as of late. Beautiful fish. The editing is professional grade. Music selection is fire. Love it guys.

Congratulations on 150k subscribers you both deserve it👍👍

why is this cinematography literal fire

This video made me go out fishing and I am just 10 years old and I am following my grandfather’s footsteps to become a fisher men. My grandpa picked up a 5 k rod for me and I fished with it every fishing trip I go. Great Job

Currently fishing the deep , awesome footage guys, inspirational and captures everything that is great about fishing. Don't stop.
