Good days, bad days and a 58lb carp 

For me personally, this new channel is spot on! As with other channels I follow, I am invested and tend to connect better with the content when it’s real and not just fluff. That means you are more vulnerable as a creator but hopefully the reward is greater. To be honest, it is obvious your parents raised two awesome kids. Both of y’alls content is wholesome, entertaining and educational. Knowing there is always going to be ups and the inevitable downs, helps keep a healthy perspective. Being human is normal. Much love and respect to you and your team.❤

I agree with one of the comments I've seen carl. Depression in all it forms is something society is starting to openly talk about, & that's good! I read a light hearted book once called 'black dog' & it all about accepting the black dog (depression) and to know it's like a good friend that likes to come & say hi once in a while. So rather than wasting energy fighting against it, it's all about learning to live alongside it & accepting it. Youll often find depression runs in the family, but the biggest thing I've learnt is to embrace those close to you (Omi etc) & to openly talk about it, but don't take it out on them. 😊 Looking forward to seeing more quality content buddy.

This is better already . its nice to see a more relaxed side of you and your brother and everyone else . broccoli for breakfast ?

Mate the vlog Chanel is awesome really enjoying it. Also as someone who suffers with mental health problems due to PTSD is good to see someone else (you) share their down days makes me feel like I'm not the only one. Keep up the great work. I've just ordered your book as I use fishing as therapy. Keep up the great work.

That’s one thing I’ve always loved about your channel Carl, you show everything realistically instead of just showing when things are all going well. Everybody has bad days and showing it in your vlogs can help people realise that it is absolutely normal! Can’t wait to see more vlogs of just normal life!

Well done Carl and team, iv been watching you guys for many years now! You guys have done some incredible work and It just keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good work, all the way from South Africa

Awesome vlog carl, we all have ups and downs..life a rollercoaster of emotions take it all in and relish every moment! I genuinely laughed out loud several times watching this vlog which isn't easily done so well done to the team for putting this video together cant wait for the next 1

I'm very happy for your dad to achieve this in life, I hope he feels content in his beautiful garden forever.

Fantastic Carl! You are a new vlog pioneer! Your vlog channel is definitely unique and the BEST 🎉

I really like this new Channel Carl, keeping it real is very important. Keep showing both the up’s and the downs, that is real life. Keep them coming you guys and girls, a great team is hard to find.

Well done with the new channel Carl, all the best, your hard work will pay off.

Wonderful Vlog Carl!!! As I happen to work, helping children through the ups and downs (highs and lows) of their lives, I can assure you, you're not alone and your true fans will definitely appreciate “all” sides of you!!! Can't wait for more👍 - Joe

Carl first off thank you for all the great content . Thank you for dedicating your life to entertain and teach us what you know. I cant wait to see the content you and Jon B have done. Ive followed you both for years now. watching 2 of my fav RU-vidrs fishing together again is amazing. I don't always comment on your videos but im watching and liking. I wish you all the best.

This genuinely might be the best video Carl has ever made. And Carl- I can relate to you on the fact that I can go through phases of opportunity’s or hobby’s.. but I never feel satisfied and then the hunger just fades away, and once times past I feel like I missed out on an opportunity.. I’ve gone from football, to mma, to fishing, to golf, and have never felt satisfied with any. But I’m happy you found your reason to live- ‘to make content and inspire others’ You’re a legend.

Loving this new channel already, it’s a great insight to see behind the scenes and also really shows the huge achievements you’ve made over the years with your team etc🙏 Keep it up Carl!

Best bit by far was the bad boy bait intro 😂🤣😂 too funny…I’m loving this already you’ve earned a sub just from that alone.

Brilliant work mate it's great to see more relatable content. As an adult with ADHD and bipolar I can understand the up and down and also how frustrating it is when your enthusiasm seems to just disappear for no apparent reason. Just keep doing what you do. We all love your videos. Hope to bump into you on a bank somewhere one day. 👍

I am SOOO excited for these Vlogs, and videos, I can't get enough of FishwithCarl

I love this new channel already. It's great to see behind the scenes footage. You're a genuine, nice lad and have great people around you which shows in your vlogs. As long as you're happy to film this content then continue to do so, mate! The down days and days you feel like you CBA is relatable to us all. You're hands down my favourite RU-vidr and angler. Keep up the great content 😊 (Also. I don't know if you accept message requests on Instagram, but I did send a message)

carl is a top notch human being, as a guy from the Midlands who goes on holiday to cornwall for fishing i love your vids they make me feel like im on holiday down south fishing again, still havent gotten a sea bass tho, need to up my game had a nice Mackrell and a huge 8 and a half lbs bream, cant wait for more films and vlogs to come out big love carl and the gang!!!❤❤❤

Absolutely love that you’re doing a collab with Jon B!!! My favorite two fisherman fishing together!! You’re definitely my favorite because I enjoy carp fishing more than bass fishing, much love from indiana US👏🏻💪🏼

Showing the cad days along with the good is important - it's a reminder that you're human, it's not all about the big trips and amazing catches, sometimes life is a bit of a drag. We all get it from time to time.

Nice one, Carl. Great, you are showing the highs and the lows in your life. It shows you are human, and I think it will help youngsters to deal with the good and bad days in their lives better if they have similar problems. Looking forward to seeing that 50+lb carp come out. What an achievement that will be. Tight lines.

This behind the scene stuff was such a brilliant idea. Thoroughly enjoying these so far! Looking forward to the next installment.

Great start to the new channel mate looking forward to future videos 👍

Love this channel so much already, the up and down days are so relatable! Really grateful that your sharing all that with us guys. Me and my partner have been following your channel for years and it is our comfort viewing, we're both so chuffed to get all this extra content so thankyou 😊

Wholesome and entertaining! Great shout doing these to supplement the films.

Carl, just watched both of the new flogs and one word………fantastic. Good to see both sides of your life etc looking forward to more content on ALL 3 channels.

Lovely the honesty of these, we love the polished videos on the main channel but these raw vlogs are awesome too

I have been waiting for another Jon B collab since the last one. Im super excited!!! much love from Illinois, USA

This vlog is the perfect vlog. Thanks Carl, Omi and team. Keep up the hard work and bringing smiles to all your fans. Thank you!

Really excited about this new channel, Carl. Great initiative! Hope you are well, can't wait for your next video

You all have such cozy existence. Goals.

Great new channel!!! Keep it coming. New logo looks like a smiley face. 🙂

+1 for the Oase biomaster cannister filter. Had mine for 5 years and it just works so darn well. I still have the original heater in it too. Nice vlog Carl. 👍

Hey Carl loving the new channel and seeing what you and the guys and girls get up to on your daily work and your down time. as for your question about the ups and the downs its i think on this channel yes its a good idea to show as it shows your human and not just a fishing machine :P. all your content is awesome and you seem such a down to earth person every video i watch makes me want to come and fish with you all so much haha keep it up mate i always look forward to seeing your videos just about to re watch the reservoir diaries part two :P

Hey Carl & Team, really enjoying this new style of content. The other channels are fantastic and it’s great to see a more natural, relaxed style. It’s great to see you all being yourselves. Thanks for all your hard work and commitment.

I have been following you guys for a long time now and your open honesty is wonderful 🙏 i struggle a lot with my mental health stay strong and thank you ❤

Carl the ups and downs in life are all important it’s nices to see change as well as how you go about your day to day life keep it up 👍 look forward to next one 😊

Oh guys really, so funny, and, you never know whats coming next, nice one guys

Another amazing vlog Carl these are so good ! Hope everything is doing good and have a great weekend

Honnestly, about the "i dont know if you wanna see my bad days" talk, its honestly very refreshing so see someone admit that and tell their viewers about it, because, yes, we most likely all have those days, and its not something that should be hidden IMO. The reason for a lot of mental health issues these days is that people tend to compare themselves to people online, but those people will only post their best days, so some viewers will be left thinkin "they have such a great life, what am i doing wrong", but in actuality, they have bad days too. I wish i would have understood this sooner and thats why i really like this channel, because even in your normal videos you show that you dont always succed or catch the biggest fish, but you still show it, and i really hope that your younger viewers, or people that have problems with showing vulnerability, can learn from this

Yet again undeniable amazing content, memories in the bank mate nice one 👌🏻👊🏻

All I can say is YES. Loving this!

Followed you for many years, seen all your great times and heard of your bad times, i think this format will do you some good! 🙂 Can not wait to see more vlogs, tight lines and wet nets!

‘Bag all da big boy scaleys in da lake bruv’ 🤣🤣🤣 that part got me 💀 great vid as always mate 😄

I follow Jon B also! I've watched him and his channel for years, he's definitely a top notcher for all things Bass... Stripers are absolute beasts, you'd best get down the gym, cos those big striped Sallys - they'll pull your arm out of it's socket! Can't wait to see that collab... Maybe you'll end up down LOJO's neck of the woods at the Chatahootchee river damn. Imagine a Carl/Googan squad collab...! 😉 Regarding the squirts of water you see, I know that some shellfish will do this. Cockles especially. When I was a kid and lived in Essex, we'd go Cockling on Mersea Beach (more like a mudflat) at low tide. When you saw a jet of water like that, you have to be quick to dig them out with a spade. They're not as fast as Razor clams though, those things will disappear deep into the sand faster than you can blink! The best way to get razor clams is to pour table salt into their burrow. The pure salinity will make them think the tide is in, so they come up to the surface. Oh, hello BTW, love the new channel! 😁 As soon as you said you had a second vlog style I was over like a shot... Can't wait to see more shenanigans!

Carl ,your Dad's lawn and garden are spectacular! Really like the format of this channel.

Love this man! Great to see warts and all! Well done 👏 great content and awesome work

Awesome, mate! Very entertaining whether you’re on a high or in the doldrums. The maggot bit tickled me big time! 😂😂 And a huge shout for Omi for putting up with the rabble currently residing at your home! She’s deffo a keeper😍

Hi carl love your videos i wish i could go fishing with you 1 day, its my dream my dad is blind so he’s not much help! Love your videos hope you had a great time

Love the style of video to say this is your first go at vlogs this video was top class very enjoyable to watch ❤️keep at it

keep up the good work carl. good days bad days its all good. We are all human and your videos help me personally feel good whatever the content is. you are a likeable man with a passion that you follow and that in itself means your winning all the time.

Great video Carl good to see something different ever once and a while

happy to see these vlogs, more videos by you = me happy :)

I also suffer from anxiety & depression so I know where you're coming from. For me, although I know it must be hard to show the bad times. It makes you normal, so I think if you can handle it, show the lows as well as the highs it keeps it real ❤

Loving the Vlogs, On my down days it makes me feel better watching your videos to cheer me up, So glad you are putting out more regular content, Thanks Carl, Love it!

It's incredibly brave of you to be so honest with your energy levels and mental moods. It's a great thing to do because it'll help others understand their own mental health. Be sure to make sure it doesn't eat into your own recovery time though.

These vlogs are one off the best things that happened for me recently. Love to watch it. Always hoped for more content and i think this is the perfect solution! Thankyou guys keep on making this. Really enjoy watching it😊

Interesting to see behind the scenes Carl and team. Your old man’s garden is awesome. Keep fishing and put golf on the back burner though 😊

All ready love this channel carl can't wait for the future of this channel

I'm in carl if this is like yr other channel were in for a masterclass all the best with this 🎣👊💯

its good to still get out on your bad days i really struggle on my bad days and do nothing at times. its also good for people to see that other people have bad days everyone has bad days mate good on you for showing it. also those things squirting water are sea squirts. great video

All the best for the new channel mate! Cheers Robert.

Absolutely love the vlogging! It’s like being part of the whole thing! Keep it up Carl and team, but remember to take time out occasionally.

In fact it is pretty cool to see you thinks you do ❤

This contents wicked mate. Easy viewing 👍🎣

Great to see the other side of Carl Smith, you have a great family Carl. keep them coming fella, very interesting content fella.btw never pictured your Mum looking so cool, congratulations! Happy times, treasured memories

Me and my ninety five years old mother having been watching you for a good while now mother is blind and can instantly recognise your voice now. Keep up the good work love from your friends Ian and Rose

thanks for the video mate appreciate the work you put into your videos

These vlogs are insane still Carl, your content no way what is always gonna be top tier. KEEP IT UP, Tight lines Carl 🎣

It’s ok not to be ok and the best thing you can do is be open and tell your closest friends and family the truth, today I’m just not feeling myself a problem shared is a problem halved, cheesy but still true. Great work guys

I think it’s vital to show both the ups and downs of life as so many younger people have been brought up in a non competitive environment, where everyone is ‘Living their best life’, such that their expectations are so unrealistically high that they’re I’ll equipped to handle the knock backs. In many respects, fishing is the perfect representation of life due to the fickle nature of fish...and weather. You just have to keep grafting if you want success. Two vlogs in and ready for more👍🏻😎

14:42 alright that was really funny, you got me

Excellent watch as always chaps

Giving those fast and furious FAMILY vibe ❤

I love it!! great content!

Great video man every one have some bad days, just be yourself man. Love to watch your video's.🔥

Love these vlogs! And damn you got a full garage of gear, love to see more of that

If anyone says they are happy 24/7 they are full of B-S !! Mens mental health is under played so much its refreshing for you to be open and honest and it might just help someone open up in there time of need !! So please keep doing what you're doing mate you make great content and have a great partner and friends and family around you. Thank you so much Carl I look forward to following your journey forward

Youre brother is right about what he has told you carl and everyone has good days bad days its best we dont block this out great videos to start this channel off and im enjoying it so far just dont do to to much and make life harder for yourself you bring people alot of joy with what you do and youre passion for fishing but its important you give yourself some time also.

I've not even finished the video yet and I've been smiling most of the way through with a few bursts of laughter. The bait tutorial 😂 then the bit where the golfer thought Alex's 68kg honey harvest was poor 😅😂😂😂😂

Ahh, down days. They aren't the best are they, it leaves you wondering whether it is good to share or hide them away. Given that your vids go out to a wide range of people, I think it's a good thing. It's probably a common denominator for a lot of viewers, so in my opinion, it's good to share. Keep well, Carl.

Holy carp, striped bass video inbound? That's incredibly exciting to hear, waiting patiently but eagerly for it!

Love your videos honestly my greatest inspiration. You have taught me eveything

Great post, already a fan of the new channel Did you suss out the rock pool culprit, razor clam ? Looking forward to the next release Tight lines 🎣

I live in that city and fished every lake they have in 4 years i have only ever been able to catch 2 carp so I can’t wait to see how you manage to catch as much I enjoy sitting waiting starting to get hard to not give up

Alex just has a way with words lmaoo "here we have some chips"

Melted my heart when you said about your dad them words IM PROUD OF YOU are only a few ide love to say to my grandad 💯 ❤ lads

Firstly, nice to see footage of you getting amongst those absolutely mint condition park fish. Secondly, subscribed to your new channel too so I'll claim my free cookie if/when i see you. Keep up the good content!

My son loves your videos and doesn’t miss a single one, he says you are his fav RU-vidr! 😁

Seeing you down makes you even more relatable than just the passion for fishing... keep your chin up, smile, and people around you will recharge your batteries...

Yeah, there's Carl making a crazy amount of work for himself again...😂😂😂❤️👍

Nice one Carl. Even more to watch now the nights are longer 👍

Smashing it Carl !
