- Fishing at the mystery lake was incredible. This challenging carp campaign nearly had me giving up, but I'm so glad I didn't!

Carl - I speak for everyone when I say well done. Not only on smashing an incredibly tough water, and persevering, but for the story telling, cinematography and world class editing. I’m so blessed to call you a friend and I love seeing how you push yourself to the limits for the entertainment of your fans and followers. Keep up the exceptional work, and stay in touch ❤️
Exactly what they☝️ said lol !!!! I'm so incredibly impressed with everything you and Alex do! Your so smart the two of you, and you have such fantastic work ethic and drive to succeed it's inspiring! It really is! You both make me want to do more, go harder, push further and keep going! And the story telling and edits are , muah , 🤌 😘 chef's kiss 💋! Lol . Thank you for sharing your knowledge and journey with us! (P.s. can't wait till I can get some stickers for the hubby, he's obsessed, lol 😂 !!)
Awesome comment, we loved watching the videos they done with you in them, there is a lake near me with a 106lb cat :)
I agree so much he will have a great future Alex is jokes wish u both the best
The editing, the adventure, the fish, the whole film.. Everything is just perfect!!
Except that notorious M25. So glad to have retired from truck driving and moved to Aus away from that dam ring road. Great video.
Thank you so much! :)
I agree
ah..na na na nah...its 87,5 percent perfect...🤣😉
Hi Carl, I know you probably won’t read this but I just want you to know that your videos are like therapy for me. I watch them whenever I’m relaxing or doing something where I can divide my concentration between the task and one of your videos. You inspire me to get better at fishing and to try new techniques and approaches. Thank you for your work and keep up your wonderful style, there really are only a very few creators who stand out like this for me.
"We've done it"
Says it all about you as a person. Well done mate, keep it up!
Does Xav have a channel or Insta
Best video yet, your tenacity, and determination sets this channel above all others. Really felt your despair and elation. So much graft put in, and your triumph thoroughly deserved. This was EPIC on every level. Well done, mate. Plus zavs barbecues looked amazing. 10/10, Al!
Your content just keeps getting better and better mann, dare I say it..... Carl and Alex becoming just Carl has improved BOTH of your channels for the best. So so glad it didn't go the other way for either of you 👌
A bittersweet session with one that got away but also an advocate for perseverance paying off. You must be so proud of landing that beauty chuffed for you bud. That memory of catching that mirror on an incredibly tough water will last a lifetime
So I had all my tackle stolen in December, it really knocked my confidence and passion for carp fishing knowing how long it will take to buy it all back. But watching this video has re-sparked something and given me the motivation to start to rebuild my kit, thank you! Awesome video!
Man, I'm so sorry to hear that. That must've been gutting :( Thanks so much mate, happy hear the film helped to inspire you back into wanting to re-build your kit... that's amazing. All the best with it! Tight lines. C
The quality of the videos just gets better and better and for all that hard work over they days shows you should never give up no matter how challenging it may get
I have wanted to fish this "lake" for 30 years and often wondered what was in it. Thank you for answering my wonderings. Green is my natural colour, honest. Looking forward to more episodes.
the editing, story telling, music choice, amzing fish, evverything about this video was just amazing. one of your best videos from the last year. looking forward to the next ones!!!
Stunning mirror Carl, persistently using your watercraft payed off. Looking forward to your next adventure 🎣
Absolutely amazing Carl,brilliant mate,even my 8 year old daughter couldn’t take her eyes off the screen and said at the end how good she thought it was, I’d say it’s one of your best yet👍
thank you so much carl for getting me into fishing! im 11 and only started in November but since then i have been obsessed with fishing and going in my free time.
thanks again carl, Max
Happy to hear that Max!! You're so welcome! All the best with it :) Tight libes, C
I’ve been trying to make a good fishing video for months but I can’t quite get them good enough. Every time I watch one of Carl’s videos it inspires me to try again. It’s hard as I’m only 12 years old and since no one I know has a clue about fishing. I’ve learned everything from your channel Carl.
Thanks for everything
Keep going!! It took me 16 years of practice. Fishing, editing and story telling really isn't a skill really doesn't happen over night, just got to keep at it! Keeping learning all you can, and gain new skills too. I learned a lot working for companies doing it too when I was a teenager :)
Awesome story! Thank you. I can relate to the fact of not having success at a new venue but keep wanting to go back. Same thing happened to me when I started fishing a park lake this year. I just had to go back. And only landed a carp on my 5th session. The feeling is amazing! Keep up the good work. You have no idea the impact that all of your videos had on my success as an angler. So much so that I can now help other people and young kids who are starting to fish. My first piece of advice to them are to go and watch all your videos.
"he has a lake in his back garden" yeah I was not expecting that place!!! Awesome and very jealous!
Man, me neither!
Without a doubt, best video yet.. 👌
So much time for these campaign videos.. Monumental effort well done Carl. 😃
What a brilliant video. I think what makes the videos on your channel stand out is your ability to tell a story. You can really take someone on the journey of all the emotions with you.
This is what carp fishing is all about. I've lived this journey a few times on some different campaigns here in Michigan, making this film extremely relatable: the driving, the blanking, zero signs of carp, almost no information, the poor access, and most disheartening, your own mom and other close people telling you that it's a waste of time. But when you do finally land that one fish, the experience is almost incomprehensible.
nice to see you going out there and doing it, local lad myself but never had permission! buzzin to see the tales are true
Cheers William. Was special to see it :)
At the edge of my seat for the whole video! With your knowledge you done the right thing to carry on, which paid off massively in my opinion. Great video Carl.
Amazing to hear that, cheers Ryan, glad you enjoyed it. Yeah for sure, sometimes you just have to dig in and keep going. Tight lines mate :)
Fantastic! A real adventure. Glad it came good in the end.
I don’t carp fish anymore but your videos still keep me interested, pure not full of plugs and adverts for crap no one really needs.
Stay true to this style on film it’s pure and how it should.
Dude I salute you 👊🏻🙌🏻
I appreciate that, thank you Daniel :) All the best!
Best episode you’ve done yet can’t wait for the next one ☝️
Carl you have come such a long way I have seen ur insta posts and I’ve been waiting for for this has been my favourites CZcams stories much respect for you and Alex alike keep up the videos
What a amazing campaign. Your videos always inspired me to never give up when having a target fish. Can't wait for the next video!
Nobody does B roll better than Carl Smith, period.
What a fantastic video, Karl! And what an unbelievably beautiful carp! I applaud your tenacity!. The reward is massive! I actually had tears in my eyes when you landed the fish!
Carl just watched this and listened to ur podcast big respect to u ur honesty and passion is so inspirational love what ur doing and what ur about can relate to so much of it myself well done mate keep doing it stay true xx
Congratz Carl, this video was so inspiring for me. It is a lesson to never lose hope and keeping on the work cause it will get payed out. Sometimes all it needs is some patience. Thanks for sharing this journey with us. Best wishes from germany
There is something about the unknown . It has a feeling I think that's better than hitting a water knowing that there's a 40lber . The phonecall from Ali , a reasonably well known angler 🤣 I'd lose my mind with a phonecall from a legend like that . Love the content keep up all the hard work and it will always pay off 👌
You're an extremely lucky chap to be allowed to fish that lake,I know they have armed security on hand.ive always dreamt of fishing it but I'm happy to see you catch one from it, well done,an awesome result 👍
Cheers Phil :) Yes very grateful to Xav
Just fantastic. My whole family enjoys your videos. And your persistence is commendable
That’s next level stuff for your channel
Carl, the scale of the campaign and the dedication and effort a film like that must take from the other end of the country. It’s fair to say you’ve done yourself proud on both counts-an amazing fish and a captivating, beautifully shot and edited professional film. Sit back and take in all the compliments-you’ve definitely earned them with this one🙂.
Thank You so much, Carl! Your level of determination is truly inspiring ! I often use it in my own fishing adventures as a reminder to never give up... I am very grateful to you for that!
Yes! Great to hear that, you're so welcome. Thanks Igor :)
Epic session! Cant wait for more! Congrats
Absolutely stunning! The location, the lake, you're storytelling, and that 35 pound carp at the end, all stunning! You're videos are getting better and better every upload! Cant wait for the next one,
I have been despairing recently fishing along with the younger generation of anglers. It seems that so many young anglers miss the point of fishing! You and your brothers journey restores my faith in the younger generation. You encompass the very essence of fishing in every way. Well done for getting the whole experience right!!!! And more to the point teaching a new audience the path of the true angler. You are inspirational. 🙏
Ah that's so kind ❤️ Thank you so much Bob :) Happy to hear you think so, glad your faith has been restored.
Lovely content love these videos there so amazing well done for all of theses videos I enjoy them soo much can’t wait for more!! 🙏
Another great film thanks Carl.
Wow just wow!! I'm so glad I found your channel many years ago watching how you've grown and learned so much in your life is truly inspirational thankyou for another amazing film👍❤️
Thanks so much Reece :)
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! The carp world needed this, and I can't wait for part 2.
Love it Carl! The story telling and the filming / editing is exceptional & inspirational. Loved the whole atmosphere of the vlog. It looked a special place I can't wait for the sequel!
Thanks Carl for always explaining rig set ups in some form, many fishing videos miss this but and it makes all the difference
:)
Great Great video Carl, as we all know it can become testing to keep pushing after so many blank sessions, I admire and respect your determination to catch from that lake, top man 👍👌
I have never sat this long to watch a guy catch one targeted fish. Well done with the story and film quality.
Haha, thank you Ralph. That's kind. Pleased you enjoyed it :)
Thank you Carl.
You continue to push the boundaries of fishing films on the CZcams, you are becoming one of the best!!
Carl never give up bro keep pushing you did a good job and to catch the same carp Ali did 20 years later was incredible congrats and well done.
Once again amazing video and unbelievable effort well done Carl for all of the good work u make for us 🎣🐟
Dude, thank you.
What an amazing effort, and bringing us along with via amazingly delivered content.
You, the production and most importantly that fish, simply top class.
Wow!!! Epic adventure, cannot wait for the next installment. What a gem of a venue ❤️
Really appreciate your efforts on all aspects the diary , editing, traffic and pain of the lost fish great effort Carl and zav.
this video reminds my why i choose fishing, going on a new lake and never know what youre gonna catch /if you"re gonna catch makes you want do do it more and more, never to give up even you're gonna have sessions with no fish at the end of your line. For me this video it's by far the best one you're ever made. Keep up the good work , i'm sure we're gonna see so much more amazing videos !!!
The choreography on this is world class. As is the fishing. Hats off to you! That lake is absolutely pristine as well. The people who live there are so lucky to have it at their disposal.
Thanks so much Alexander. Really appreciate it. Yes they're very lucky haha!
Excellent!
You certainly put the work in for that one.
Once again you have certainly excelled at producing some of the best fishing experiences on CZcams. Very well done to you and the team. Amazing content that just keeps getting better and better !
Carl , been watching the Channel for years and the videos always impress me every time but this one was exceptional.
You are mega at what you do! Thanks for a great watch and making a Sunday morning fun 👌
What an incredible story! Can't wait to see next videos of that lake!
Brilliant. Loved the whole episode, superbly put together and told.
I could watch that again right now. Brilliant
Absolutely awesome Carl
What an awesome watch I loved every minute of that Carl, well done for persevering and not giving in, a man of my own heart. 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻
Saturday is usually a slow day for videos from the people I subscribe to. It is always a treat to see a Fish with Carl video on Saturdays (as it would be any other day of the week). But this week I feel super lucky! The Fishing Tutorials video came out (which was awesome) AND a Fish with Carl video. That should hold me over for a while. Cheers Carl!
Carl, what can I say apart from thank you. All your hard work, frustration, long drives and efforts! What a brilliant and enjoyable film so well put together. Keep it up 👌
The efforts that go into your channel are greatly appreciated. One of the best going 👌
One can only say thank for such exceptional, inspirational and valuable free content here. Thank you for all the hard work and inspiration you give for many peoples fishing!
We fish a similarly hard and understocked lake here with unknown carp so for sure this piece here will keep us motivated! Take care!
❤️❤️❤️
Love the fact you never gave up just shows that you have to be patient to get what u want
Outstanding content mate. Absolutely brilliant work on all aspects
I love your videos Carl. The effort you go to to provide such amazing quality videos is insane and what really sets you apart from the rest. Keep smashing it brother
Thank you mate ❤️
I regularly pass that lake and have done for years , in the past it was possible to see the expanse of the lake and would stop and watch and would regularly see signs , but as times changed fences went up and seeing the lake was impossible from the road . Im sure like many anglers who pass this lake wondering what it holds it’s great to know our dreaming was in fact worthwhile, and to see such a beautiful fish on the bank really is special . Well fished , and deserved following your dream as a young man and making your hobby your job gave you this opportunity 👏
Absolutely buzzing for this
Well done guys!! You both put in the time and percerveird to bag a lump, well done hats off to you 👏
That’s why fishing is such a fantastic thing ! Absolutely amazing from you mate! I genuinely felt great when you finally got landed that absolutely stunning fish! Beautiful 🤩
You must go back and try to catch another one of those! Great video, congratulations 👏🏼
That was awesome to watch! And has inspired me to never give up 🎣
Well Carl & Zav, your dedication & desire has given you the results you deserve! Well done guys, can’t wait to see the rest of the film! Also great filming & some amazing shots! Always a pleasure.👍👍👍
Thank you Mario :) Greatly appreciated. All the best! C
Love it Carl never stop man 👌
Wonderful video. Love your content. It has brought me back to fishing and I am so grateful for that.
Unbelievable Carl as always! You really show the true passion and meaning to fishing in its finest art form, never change 👌

All the best from 🇨🇦
One of your best videos yet carl and team. Loved it,some amazing footage from the drone and oh yeah the mirror wasn't too bad either! Well done and willlook forward to part 2 & 3 & 4
What a incredible story telling. Fishing is about fishing = the journey to catch a fish, it is not catching only. Thank you very much Carl.

WOW Carl, every detail of this video was just EPIC very well done mate so happy for you. Oh and loving the pond and the new fish looks awesome great job 👏 👏👏
Love watching u fish it’s so entertaining
Well done Carl
What a fish!!!!
Everything about this video is perfect. What a result! 👍
What a video! Best one yet. I’m so glad you perseverance paid off. What an angler
Got to say, i really enjoyed this video. I can just imagine that feeling of that first carp. All tour effort and perseverance paid off there didn’t it!! I’ve recently been doing well at a syndicate i joined so feeling all my efforts are starting to pay off there. Great feeling! Top angling chaps!!
Absolutely brill Carl. That lake is really mysterious. Will always call you back. Looking forward to another chapter.
Amazing work Carl, brilliant video with loads of detail. Keep it up.
I love these type of videos. Well done on the carp. That's an absolutely cracking specimen!
Yet another incredible fishing video. Being into photography for many years your videos are just a joy to watch, the footage you and your team get is stunning and the stories you tell in these videos are fantastic. Still can't believe that Mirror was the one you caught. Already looking forward to the next video.
As per usual, worth rewatching! Your films (because calling them videos would be a disservice) are always top notch mate! I feel like you should be winning Oscars or whatever awards the world's top filmmakers/anglers are awarded.. many thanks for all your hard work, and keep up the legendary stuff! And also thanks to all your friends and supporters that help make it possible. Safe journeys! Tight lines, wet nets!
