I started watching thinking, "yeah I know this story, but I'll give it 5 minutes..." 1 hour and 11 minutes later!! Beautifully told story.

Absolutely mega that Oz - really enjoyed every minute of the story. Remember you came on Dinton that year and disappeared for a while, back to Burghfield. Good old days, great memories of the BBQ and you recounting the capture for all the lads. 👍

dont think ill ever get bored of listening to captures of this fish each one uniquely different in its own way but all as equally magical

What an absolutely amazing video & story. Oz you really do tell it superbly. I was gripped! The dedication and juggling of "normal" life is very impressive. Oz you are and inspiration!

Awe inspiring tale of absolute dedication whilst trying to balance out with life demands. Phenomenal commentary, stunning, quality carp... Thanks for sharing your moments 🙏

Yes ozz amazing buddy,, what an angler and what a stunning brute of a carp

by the end of this epic adventure i felt like we had caught it with you , great story .

After all them years money spent time away from family mission accomplished got to Love an oz story.. Passion = Reward

Iv been waiting to get a chance to watch this . Worth the wait . Terry can tell a story but u actually feel like Ur there with Oz telling it . Awesome capture on limited time ,goes to so the calibre of the man . Great video skills to lads . 👏👏👏👏

Bloody brilliant this!!!

👏👏👏👏👏brilliant piece of story telling oz! I know it was a while ago now but congratulations on your capture and your persistence in your quest. I fished Barnet’s lakes as a kid on a day ticket for the tench and remember old mrs Barnet coming around and collecting the money for the ticket. I also remember having the chance to fish burghfield from the road that took you down to the ski club and John moulds yard was behind me at the time it was being run by the old leisure sports angling club. Little did I know what an iconic piece of water burghfield would become! And I think unfortunately the old barnets lake I used to fish all them years back has now been filled in and is being used as a car park for mouldy’s yard.once again congratulations and I’m looking forward to more stories about your recent captures.

effort = reward on a special venue and dedicated angler .

Looking forward to watching this

Don't know how I ended up here as I couldn't give less of a shit about fishing. The cinematography, editing and storytelling was amazing. The B roll was especially good.

Absolutely phenomenal Oz, superbly told story, watching and listening to this was as good as reading Jacko's " For the record " book. Your dedication and mental and physical strength 💪 unreal mate, loved every second of this. Top man, true gent, and an angler on a level of your own. 👍 🎣 😎

Amazing watch, dreams can come true with hard work and dedication 🐳🔥

Not a carp man but this story was fantastic loved it

Truly great oz but we are a small minority group of serious anglers called old skool not afraid to graft.the rest is easy .👌🐳

Done the propa way brought it to a spot never been caught past barnets point good angling

Nice, there's a place on Mount KRushmoore for that ;)

when you describe walking with the backpack it sounded like something rolf Harris would do at school time...lol only joking tho really good video

Good old stew!

✅✅✅🔥🔥🔥🔥

Try fishing a cheshire mere days only 7til7 for a proper common carp. Challenge ha ha

had to skip about 20 minutes as he waffles on quite a bit lol,but a good story

Is the lake this fish dwells in a syndicate lake. ?

I’d say butthead is better it’s just this fish has more history behind it known to the general fisherman

Just another video about another place where 99.9% of us can never go and fish at any time in our life.

Epic film ❤
