It’s cool looking back at this video over a year on and we are both still making videos. And hardly any fights and arguments. 😂

I'm overwhelmed by all your support. Thank you to all of those who have left kind comments and messages. I'm excited for the future!

Best of wishes to both you legends! Very solemn moment but I’m happy y’all are pursuing different paths and following your gut! Keep Fishing Never Stop!

The raw emotion on Carl's face says it all, an honest, heartfelt and dignified video.

All the best for you guys, you are definetly one of the most inspiring fishing channel i've ever followed. Thanks for all you've done, and, by advance, for what it's forthcoming ! 🎣🙏

In the world of KZfaq 'announcements' this has to be one of the most honest and intelligent ones, bravo to you both and good luck for the future. I for one will keep watching this channel, and I'm just off to sub to Alex's

Carl, as an older brother myself I’ve always identified more with you. I saw the thumb nail early this morning and avoided watching. Somehow hoping that not watching this would mean it wasn’t happening. Kudos to you for graciously embracing this change. I wish you and Alex both all the best. I am looking forward to your ongoing adventures.

Together or Separate there is always a place for you guys to stay in Canada! I have no doubt you’ll both continue to be successful and inspire others to get outdoors.

I think we could all see a gentle moving apart. We all leave the nest at some point. Both of you have been inspiring to me in the things you have done(I'm 55). I will continue to watch you both. Well done keep it up.😥😃

It's your choice guys what you do to better your future's. I for one will still support you two. As I explained in private message Carl, you guys helped me at my very lowest when I was in such a dark dark place mentally. Its the least I can do to continue my support ❤

You guys are so mature and great humans. All the best to both of you. Andy

Will always support both of you, excited for the new channel! Best wishes from Germany 👋

End of a legacy and era that shall and will not be forgotten. You’ve guy and have played a massive part in my life in regards to fishing and life in general. Thank you Carl and Alex 👏

Best of luck for the future to both of you, been watching for a couple of years now I think. Got into them at the beginning of the pandemic as a way to watch fishing whilst not being able to go out and do it. I still remember the first day I could go out fishing up here in Scotland. Roasting hot day and got sunburnt bad 😅 I also remember when the videos got back to fishing normality, good times. Some brilliant memories and very enjoyable videos. Can't wait to see what's to come!

My son is 11 years old and french and he watches all your videos. I am so pleased he loves you guys because you are a perfect role model for him... intelligent, kind, funny and calm. He will still keep on watching and now he gets a more varied mix of subjects because he will subscribe to both channels. Thanks again for being you!

This has been a real privilege to be taken along on your journey, seeing you both develop as anglers and as you’ve grown as people. I shall continue to subscribe to both of your channels and really look forward to seeing what new directions your journeys take. Sincerely all the luck in the world to you both.

I could definitely see this coming from just things Alex has said over the years (not In a negative way) so I'm glad you can both do what you want. I always knew Alex wasn't as addicted to fish as Carl and that's good because now I have two channels to watch with two channels I'll really enjoy !

Cant wait for part 2: Alex returns!! 😋 Brave decision Alex, chase your dreams, go get them! Good luck Carl, there is no doubt you will succeed alone🏆

An amazing journey watching 2 boys become 2 very fine adults having one hell of an adventure together. Been a privilege to share this part of your lives and to learn so much from you. As always, nothing but the best wishes for your futures and I look forward to some new adventures. All the best 👍👍

Such a truly decent pair of young men!! Love these guys and wish them both all the very best.....

Man. As someone who has been following your journey for quite a long time I can't help but feel a bit sad about this news, it truly feels like the end of an era. However I'm glad that Alex is persuing what he loves and only good can come from following your heart! Looking forward to the future of both channels, I will sure as hell keep watching every video the second it comes out. Thanks for everything, much love from the Netherlands!

I'm from the states, and followed you guys close to 7 years. Loved the no BS just go out and have fun fishing attitude you both have. My sons and I love to Carp fish and it was nice to find a channel that showed respect and techniques to a fish that is considered "trash" over here. Proud of how far you both have came and best of luck to you guys. Keep doing what you love!!

All the best for the future for both of you. You guys remided me and my brother going fishing all the time and brought back all those happy memories. Cant wait to see you both back together making another fishing vid

my girlfriend and I found your channel during 2020 at the beginning of covid which brought back my love of fishing and made her become interested in fishing. so i just want to say thankyou for the great content and bringing people so much joy through your videos so thankyou and i will carry on to support the both of you.

I started watching your videos 7 years ago and I remember thinking how humble and pure your content was and it has remained like that ever since. Truly inspiring. You know, its strange to have such a connection to people you've never met, personally I feel as though ive followed and been part of your journey since almost the start and to always know that no matter how bad my week has been there will probably be a C&A video to look forward to to brighten up the week. Even my girlfriend adores your channel and she isn't into fishing whatsoever. She watches because of you. You as people, genuine and amazing people. I wish you both all the best in your endeavours. I'll be sure to keep following along, you can count that :)

Carl & Alex was the first KZfaq channel I subscribed to years ago, when you guys were still in school. Thanks for all the years of incredible videos! I just subscribed to Alex’s channel. I really hope you guys collaborate together a lot. It will be hard getting used to you guys having separate channels, but on the plus side, hopefully that means twice as many videos from you two!! Good luck and I’m sure both channels will do great!

I remember joining so long ago when i don't think you even had 100 subs, as i saw your enthusiasm and how much you loved your fishing. Now it's the next part of both your journey and i look forward to watching both channels. All the best lads.

I've got goosebumps 😅 Good luck for both of you! Alex, this is a brave decision, I'm 100% sure about that you will succeed with your new channel, I like the new direction. Whoever followed here, will follow you there too. Carl, please keep your attitude, this is the best fishing channel I've ever followed in my life. Maybe it is time to involve Omi more often 😉 Guys, you have created something with your heart and soul, just look around what you've achieved, it is awesome. Wishing the best from Hungary!

Carl and alex, you were what got me into fishing. I’ve been watching you since 2017 and you’re the best carp fishing youtubers i have ever watched. It’ll be sad to watch alex go but we support what you want to pursue👊🏻

My dream was to always grow up ti be like you both but i had no hope because no one in my family exept my dad likes fishing who lives 2 houres away from me and this channel has really motivated me to realise i dont need someone else to succeed but this channel has made my passion very strong thank you guys best of luck on you new journeys, Taylor

Wow. An end of an era indeed. Thankyou both so much for what you have produced so far. I am really looking forward to what the future brings. Keep up the great work.

Sad but I am sure exciting times for you and Alex. Very best of luck to you two in your new adventures. Will continue to follow and enjoy your videos!

They say all good things eventually come to an end. Well done on what you have both done and achieved so far. I have loved watching you both grow into men whilst fishing. I don't do as much as I used to when I was a kid and young man but I have thoroughly enjoyed fishing along with you in my mind. I was a bit choked up seeing the pics of you as little kids in this video and seeing you both now going on slightly different journey. May you remain the best of friends and good luck to both of you. I live not a million miles away from some of the spots you fish so thank you for the joy you have brought me and countless others.

I think I speak for everyone watching this video when I say that we’re all behind you, and we will all back, and support you through your new journeys 100%. I don’t think of this as the end, but only the beginning of something bigger, and brighter. Big love to you both

I would like to thank you both for all of your videos. They have been great to watch and a massive help over the years. Good luck to the both of you. Would be cool if you both continued the Fishing Tutorials as a collaboration, as again these have been really helpful to myself and others. Best wishes guys

Sad times. I really enjoyed to watch you two brothers together. Keep it up Carl. You are one of my favorite KZfaqrs. Regarding fishing, You have inspired me a lot, thanks🎣👍

You guys do whatever makes you happy I’ve watched you guys for years and I can say is I’ll keep watching whatever you guys post even if it’s not fishing and you make different videos. It’s not the end it’s a new chapter!

Followed you since I was a kid learning to fish, you guys taught me what I know now and I’m forever greatful. Best of luck you guys. My true hero’s

you boys need a tv show tbh next 3 years youll be the face of carp fishing i believe rightfully deserved

Just discovered this channel and have been working through your back catalogue, so this came as a bit of a blow, I love your enthusiasm and fun, so will miss that, but good luck to you both on your future projects.

Hi guys.. as "Carl and Alex" I thank you.. Do not under estimate the good that you have done for the sport that has given me so much pleasure since an early age ( and I'm from a pre John Wilson "go fishing " era where even Optonics didn't exist). I am sure both of you will continue to inspire through your content.. good luck!

Similar to Graham and Mike, and Mike's spin off The Totally Awesome Outdoor show. Best of luck Alex. Thanks for all the brilliant videos over the years.

Had me and my partner crying watching your footage of you two growing up fishing. You are both amazing and deserve everything along the way. Your family must be so proud to bring up two loving caring polite men.Wishing you both the best and can’t wait to watch both of your upcoming videos

Carl and Alex you made some of the best carp fishing movies on youtube.Reservoir diaries is one of my all time favorite movies absolute brilliant and inspiring!Thanks guys whising you all the best!!

Decisions like these are never easy. You have to follow your heart and do what you think is best. Been watching this channel for a long time, and it's been a pleasure to see you guys grow. My brother is my best friend, and I'm not sure I would want to go into business with him...lol. Your personalities compliment each other and as a viewer it provides an entertaining dynamic. It will be interesting to watch you find your own voices. Good luck to you both and thank you for the years of joy. More to come I'm sure.

I think this is really good move. The channel was becoming a bit less targeted towards fishing and hasn’t been resonating as well as what it has done in the past. Good luck 👍

As someone who's been watching Alex's videos first and then later stumbled upon Carl's older videos, this certainly explains why you two sound and look so alike!

It’s amazing seeing you doing your own thing now , thank you for all the amazing films you have made you have made a huge impact on my life inspiring me to start fishing and get out more . Thank you ❤️

Can’t wait to see the collaborations and will continue to watch both of your videos!

The exact same thing happened with me and rob on my channel, me and rob are cousins so we have like a brother relationship, we found it easier not working together and going separate ways but we still speak daily and still both love what we do. I 100 percent support your decisions and can’t wait to see what you 2 get up to on your channels🙌

You are both my favourite anglers, followed you since you both started appearing in anglers mail magazine well over a decade ago! I'll be sad to see less regular content with you both in, but happy you're both working on yourselves! Good luck to both of you! I'll still be watching 👀 well done for keeping it real gents, one of my favourite things about you both!

First time back to this channel in a while, crazy it’s been well over a year since this happened and I didn’t know! I remember when I first got into fishing and started watching you guys on KZfaq over a decade ago now. Your videos always got me excited to go fishing, and starting watching you again (after not fishing for a good 2-3 years now) I’m so excited to start it up again this summer. I’m glad you’re both doing well and continuing with your own separate passions, having my own younger brother I can imagine how great and challenging at the same time working together must’ve been haha. All the best guys!

best of luck guys you got me into fishing, while its sad to see you go im glad you have made a decision which suits you

Been expecting it for some time

Thank you so much lads for all you have done for getting me through the hard times a tear in my eye x

Lads, whatever happens I wish you the best with everything! Thank you so much for the videos, which have gotten me into fishing! Thank you so much!!!!

You made me start fishing so I must thank you very much, I hope you enjoy your paths in the future

Good luck guys! We will still always watch both of your guys videos. :) we all understand. I’m interested to see how Alex douse on the new channel. And now Carl needs to learn how to film 😂 I was confused when I got a notification saying fish with Carl anyways good luck guys

Thank you for the amazing content team C&A have given us over the years. Following the journey you both have been on has been a pleasure. I'm sure Alex has made the right decision and we will have two awesome channels to watch. Sounds like the year ahead will bring us more amazing content. All the best 🎣👍

You're the best guys, together and apart each one in his unique way. I wish you all the best Alex with your new channel, will defiantly be subscribing as I love camping, travel, bushcraft, fishing and outdoor life. Good luck to both of you!

Ah lads. Not gonna lie. Kinda sad to see the band splitting up but I know eventually you guys will be back doing this. Even if it takes years. All the best lads

Iv been with you both since you started off all them years ago. Alex I wish you all the best such a lovely fella I carry on supporting you both, you need to do another carl vs Alex again as we all know Alex the better fisherman. 😀

I have been watching since your quest for a 20lb carp and I can honestly say you have encouraged me to go fishing more and it has certainly helped with my mental health. Good luck with the future both of you, I will sure sub to Alex’s Channel also!

I wish the best for you guys. You are one of the best fishing channels ever!🎣

Good luck Alex!!! I will subscribe to your channel too!!! Carl... tight lines mate!!

Wow. This was inevitable to be honest. But extremely happy Alex isn't giving it up completely. I will keep supporting you both!

I do fish now and then. But the main reason for following your guys, is your personality, fantastic storytelling, great footage and editing skills. Will still support this channel and Alexis's mushroom trip/outdoor adventures. Good luck to both of you 🙏🏻 cheers from Denmark

Your content has and will continue to inspire fishing people young and old for the rest of life as we know it! Thank you both very much indeed. Good luck on your new adventures, it is important to try new things. But, hey, no shame or you want to hook up again, remember that!!

Good luck to both of you .. some times being around each other and working together can make things harder ... but in sure your both smash it well Carl is nearly on 400k subs now you got some catching up to do Alex lol ..

You should rope omi in and call Carl and omi channel.

Me and my 4 year old son have been working our way through your videos. All he talks about is fishing, I’d like to thank you both of you for giving me and my son something to look forward too and giving him the inspiration to get out on the bank with his dad. Good luck with the new venture Alex.

That's all apart of growing up! Everyone's personality changes and has you settle into who you are as adult. Good luck on the new adventures guys and always remember that family is the most important part of life.

The quality of your production for young guys is inspiring, good luck to both of you.

My 5 year old is actually in tears right now! Wishing you both so much luck. Have loved every moment of sharing your journey with you.X

Thank you for the last 16 years of Carl and Alex fantastic format fantastic memories to look back on for all viewers old and new and now looking forward to many new adventures

All the best to you both...family comes first before anything....even fishing...I for one will definitely still watch you both....I applaud Alex for taking this step and growing into the man he wants to become...your both great lads from what I see and I wish u every success 👍

Takes a lot of courage to recognise and appreciate each others differences. Well done to the pair of you, and not forgetting your parents. You'll both have a good journey.

I wish you all the best Alex. Thank you both for years of content. You have been one of my favourite fishing channels for long time now. Good luck guys and I will still be following you both.

You guys are without doubt the best to watch and I saw you first as kids fishing in the centre of Winchester, a place that my wife and I visit often. Best of luck to you both as you seek your goals in life.

Thanks for everything guys. You kept me inspired to go fishing whenever i can and push myself to pursue my goals. Good luck with your journey guys

Carl and Alex your koi documentary sparked my love for fish keeping. I haven't been able to get back to fishing yet, but your videos make me feel like I already have. Chase your passion Alex!🌲

Fair play lads all the best in your new ventures. I love fishing and the outdoors so will subscribe to Alex's new channel. Thanks for the great content you both are amazing.

Followed you and your videos for the last 9-10 years, one of the greatest fishing channels around. Best of luck on your new adventures Alex and keep the fishing up Carl 👍🏻

I've loved watching you both grow up thru the years and enjoyed the content you bring to us, so I will be staying, with you both, as individuals, individual channels, but loving both lots of content I'm sure. Good luck (as if you need it) going your separate ways , I'm sure you will enjoy doing what you do best, and we'll enjoy watching you do it. All the very best, Steve

Top work gents! I have followed you most if not all the way through your journey and you have produced some superb videos. Great advert for fishing without ramming advertising/sponsorship down viewers throats👏. Good luck

Massive respect to Alex for his honesty! You both will make it far for being genuine. Wish both good health and happy times 🙌

It was so sad to hear this as ive enjoyed everything you have both done. All i can say is i wish the very best for both of you in your different ventures and look forward to when you collaborate. I will still be watching you both so no change there. Good luck Carl & Alex!!! 🎣😎🐟

As a fellow Sussex man I wish you both all the luck in the world and remember life is not always about walking forward, sometimes you have to take a step backwards so don't burn your bridges lads , look how easy you changed your channel name , it can always go back to what it was!!!!! YOU BE LUCKY !!!!!!

Been watching you both for years. First vid I watched you were both on holiday with your parents, in France I believe. It's been a pleasure watching you both grow as people, fishing and the channel. Looking forward to watching you both for many more years to come 🍻💛

You guys have been such an incredible source of inspiration & entertainment! Thank you for all that you've done, but life doesn't change and I wish you both the very best moving forward. Looking forward to seeing your new adventures.

🥲Feel sad now, loved seeing you two guys having such fun together as brothers and best mates, have followed you for years and you both have been such an inspiration in this crazy world. Good luck to you both, any parent would be so proud to have sons like you. xx

Little bit late to the party guys. Discovered the channel around 3 months ago. I fished a lot as a child. I worked in the Middle East and it fell by the wayside. Finding your channel made me pick up my rod again. Finding your channel made me pick up the phone to my brother and we had our first session for 20 years. Love what you do, love what you do and I will love both channels moving forward. Thanks lads. Love your work.

Through lock down this channel helped me big time.. Taught me alot and got me back in to fishing.. Thanks guys all the best for the future

You guys are brilliant. You are the reason I love fishing. I came back to this channel to find Alex had gone but finding this video makes me happy knowing all is still well. Love you guys ❤❤

All the best both of you! I've gone from being clueless about fishing (since Aug 21) to now being competent. That's is down to you guys. I first watched 'How to float fish' in August 2021 and there's no stopping me. Keep going.

Respect lads, the result of your videos has inspired by son (age 8) to start fishing with me, we have joined a local syndicate and we have many weekends planned, you guys are role models to so many, I wish you well and take care guys 👍

This was the very best fishing channel. I followed your fishing adventures for over 12 years and i am very sad to hear that this history is over now. But i wish you all the best for your solo-projects. Greets from Germany

I love watching you both and will continue enjoying both you videos. Please don’t ever compete.

I have just started fishing at aged 48 Your videos are priceless and I have learnt so much through your easy to understand easy to follow posts Cheers lads

The best of luck to both of you in your new endeavours. Thanks for all the great work you've done so far. Will continue to watch both channels. Thank you lads!👍👍
