Korda Thinking Tackle Podcast  

We just wanted to say thank you to Korda for having us on the show, but more importantly to all the lovely people who have left positive comments down here. We love ya all!!! From Carl and Alex.

These two will be legends in 15 years, so many youngsters relate to them and wil grow up watching their videos.

How can people give this a thumbs down? Sadly far too much jealously in carp fishing 😔 these guys have worked hard to be where they are. 👍

Carl, Alex, dove, Spooner and Ali.. Perfect dream team for an Itv weekly fishing programme please 👍

I wanted to say how much I enjoyed this podcast and echo what Barry Peck stated about the way Carl and Alex conduct themselves. A real and good example of how our younger generation should be behaving, speaking eloquently and intelligently. On another note, I wanted to say how brave it was for Carl to admit that he had suffered from a mental illness and how it affected his life. This took a lot to admit this to the thousands of listeners and it connected with me and my mental health struggles over the past 5 years. I was 11 when I started fishing with my dad and went on to do a lot of match fishing at different venues and then onto a little bit of carp fishing. But my life was turned upside down and I struggled every day with mental illness as well as trying to work and be a father. I stopped fishing over 10 years ago until I started watching the Korda videos and also Carl and Alex’s videos on RU-vid. They gave me inspiration to go back to what I enjoyed as a youngster and start fishing again. To be outdoors with nature, give myself some headspace to think and get away from the things that have brought me down. I’m still not out of the woods yet but watching these videos is driving to get onto the bank and I’m slowly getting some new tackle and gear together to make that first trip this year if possible. Hopefully going to attend Carp Zwolle too. Thanks all at Korda, Carl and Alex for the motivation and keep the quality videos coming.

Bonnie & Clyde Lennon & McCartney Laurel & Hardy Carl & Alex

Im 56, been fishing for 48 years and I still learn tonnes of stuff and different technique. A lot of the videos I watch are of Carl & Alex, brilliant anglers and give really useful tips one such a very wide range of fishing types. Thanks guys, and please keep doing what you're doing.

These boys are an inspiration to youg anglers iv watched them since they started they have grown in strength they are not big headed and very talented keep going lads good luck

Huge Carl and Alex fan these guys put out consistently great videos. Big respect to them for going full time on youtube. Thanks Korda for backing them and having them on the podcast

been watching carl and alex for years now and they produce some of the best carping content on youtube. the fact that their videos usually get more views than nash and kordas videos says it all... these lads have great content and deserve the recognition.

Grounded guys living the dream - good luck to them

Keep saying it men. You guys are the most natural brilliant videos out there. For people watching this who want to get into Carl and Alex vids, watch reservoir diaries PT 1+2. Want to see dedication and enthusiasm. Go NOW!

True gentleman and ambassadors of the the sport, love watching them! Well done guys :)

These 2 are decent well rounded young fellas. As kids and now they are a credit to their parents and should be supported and applauded. They always celebrate catching any fish and show total respect to every catch and everyone around them. I wish them every success and say "well done lads". The haters should save it for people that deserve it. Keep up the fantastic work fellas and good luck with a proper tackle company backing you.👍👍👍👍👍

Top lads, one of the best fishing shows on the Internet. I always look forward to their next adventure. And bottom line they are bloody good anglers who regularly catch specimen fish and you can't fake that. 👍😊👍

These lads are an inspiration to the younger generation, throughly recommend to everyone! Keep up the great work!

So great two Young people with such passion for fishing keep doing what your doing. Brilliant.

Great to see Carl and Alex again working hard I hope all there endeavours work out

Nearly 2 hours long and yet I think you could easily do one or two more of these with Carl and Alex. What an amazing chat you had here! Even though they both said this felt so different they both did so well too. Maybe you could have them on in the future as a round table discussion? The chemistry at the table is obvious. More more more!

Nothing but admiration for these 2 young guys. I'm sure they will both go on to inspire many a young angler in the future

Some of the trials and tribulations and personal stuff you've shared, it's pretty brave putting it out there. Sometimes reality bites for all of us but it's bloody refreshing to have it laid bare.

Carl and Alex are great. I've followed them from when they were just young kids. The park lake campaign vid took me back to my younger years, the enthusiasm and the unknown caught on film just shows the magic of fishing. Amazes me why kids nowadays just aren't interested

Great podcast I’ve watched Carl and Alex since the beginning and had the pleasure of meeting them back in the day at the farnborough angling show. Good to see they’re successful.

Favourite one so far 👍

great podcast, now going to go back & watch all their videos again! Keep up the great work Carl & Alex

I got into watching Carl and Alex through my interest in koi. 2 such genuine, nice lads. I enjoy everything they do and wish them every success.

Totally agree that their film’s are quality and the sound tracks are superb.

great pod, these 2 still on the up and well done Korda for the sponsorship, a great team

I have followed these two guys for a few years now on both RU-vid and Insta as well as facebook……..they are fantastic to watch and the quality of filming is great. they are such inspiration to thousands, you can tell by just looking at the comments every time they put a new vid up...…..keep up the great work guys!

Great video! Carl & Alex are great ambassadors for the sport (and for youngsters in general!)

The quality of your vids is superb. Way you tell a story and build a narrative really engages and can only build to reach an even wider audience. Both really likeable chaps with individual personality quirks. Good to see both coming through. Vids are great success can only continue to grow 😚

Great to hear they have sponsors to support what there doing

Nice to see Carl & Alex progress over the years, look forward to seeing more videos!.

I could listen to these guys all day! So much so I think you could do another interview with the stories they have! Seriously consider it! You only need to look back at the years of videos to see that! Great video all the same! Nice work....

How genuine are these guys... got to love them

Keep up the great work boys. You are the next gen and doing it on your own terms.

I love these boys, such genuine and refreshing approach to all aspects of life and fishing. I hope that they inspire the next generation of Anglers and grow from strength to strength. Just shows you want constant persistent work at your passion can provide. More power to them. 👍

well done guys watched you both from the start fished the waters and rivers and sea you have filmed in uk hope it all gets better and better for you both

Finally been waiting for this episode since you teased it the other day!

The filming and content of there videos is always impressive If you’re not subscribed to there channel already then I definitely recommend it 🎣

Yesss carl and Alex 🎣🎣🎣😁😁

Well done boys great watch. Hard work get you to the top

Good job lads. Reservoir diaries was a big favorite of mine. You should consider visiting South Africa some time for Carp fishing...

Well done lads. Conducted yourselves very well. Imagine if these 2 were around in the early thinking tackle days. Hamidi, dovey, penning, Carl, Alex and Danny. The enthusiasm would be through the roof.

Love there channel. Tutorials are simple and great. Hope they keep it that way

Smart kids, keep on keeping on

A truly great insight into the lives of two great guys... you two are inspiring many and will continue to inspire countless others in the future. Tight lines 🙌❤

Really enjoyed that guys, loving the personal aspect to these podcasts, not just fishing. Keep it up.

2 good young anglers and they are respectful.

Been watching Carl and Alex for a couple years now quality channel, same thing with me being the only one fishing at my school

Aaaaah my two favourite anglers.....you were as awesome as ever guys! I loved the Jacko podcast as was reminiscent of my time on Harrow, but on the flip side you’ve been so much part of my fishing in recent years. Thanks guys.... love ya x

Yes Carl and Alex

It’s unbelievable Carl is just a doubt of myself. Love these guys so open about things .

Very humble young guy's Carl and Alex, they make some really down to earth vlogs

A really good podcast from everyone involved , love watching these dudes fish ... ive just started fishing and these guys are inspirational.

Great podcast thanks for the vid

One of my favorite podcast👍👍👍👍👍👍👈👍👍👍👍👍

Two great role models for youngsters. They don't sugar coat the reality of life like need for income and mental health issue's. Myself and my son really look forward to your videos. If one complaint, let Alex speak more 😉 Best of luck for the future lads, take a trip over to Ireland for some fishing next year 👍🏻

Amazing fellas, going all the way to the top. Keep up the amazing work lads 👌

Awesome guys some great stories👍 keep up the good work

Carl and Alex have inspired me alot to go fishing and most of my fishing knowledge has been learnt from these 2 legend

Great podcast really good watch too proper nice guys 👍

My dad taught me fishing at 5 years old with the little plastic wrapped fishing set of rod, reel, floats, hooks and weights pack you generally see in seaside shops. 31 years later and I'm still fishing and watching these lads, along with others, go at it and still learning new things. I come from the days of John Wilson, Matt Hayes and Rex Hunt on TV and the news of Terry Hearn catching a 55lb record was all over the Angling Times when it was in newspaper format. Angling evolves and regardless of age and experience there's always something new to learn. Hell, I've only just started using fluorocarbon leaders this year because of watching RU-vid video's and discovering the benefits of it with more abrasion resistance, less stretch etc these lads are doing a great job!

Been folding Carl and Alex from the days of farm ponds bowl hair cuts and Velcro trainers . when there dad use to drop them off. And watched them process on there fishing cannel. Flying by the seat of there pants spoke to Alex at one of the Brentwood carp shows told him not to stop what they had started just goes to show if you follow that gut feeling will lead you down the right path. Well done to you both. At yet again top pod cast. Thanks again.

These 2 are brilliant, some of the best fishing content on RU-vid & both top class anglers.....keep it up lads 👍🎣

Been waiting too long for this 👍👍

Amazing video, really inspirational for the younger angler

Outstanding interview, guys. 👍

loved this, continue ignoring the haters, their online comments are irrelevant.

Awesome session and so much love for Carl & Alex. I’m still expecting to see some of Tom’s pop ups somewhere on the floor lol

What a really nice couple of lads Carl and Alex are. Ive loved watching their youtube channel and content for some years now and can only think how proud their parents must be of them both. The young generation get slated a lot nowadays, but these guys are real gentlemen and great ambassador's to general angling. I cant wait to see their up and coming adventures and wish them every success with their videography futures. We need more people like Carl and Alex in Angling. Well done to both of you Sir's.

Wicked.... Watched every single one of your videos guys good too see you moving onto the big game properly best move you guys did was leave Nash and go it alone good on korda for backing you and not giving you terms that only work in their favour

Love these two,amazing anglers and amazing film makers ❤

Great video. Good to see some youngsters taking advantage of the changing landscape in angling. Brave! FYI the carp in Australia can be fished for (mud marlin as we call them). Each state has different rules but generally anglers are encouraged to not return them, it isnt law. If you want a challenge try aiming for wild Siamese carp in Thailand, not in a stocked commercial lake. Sirikit reservoir has them well over 100kgs. Its 64000 acres though. A tad larger than 280.

My day is made!!!

Brilliant 👍🏽👍🏽

The best one so far... I wasn't too sure when I first see it advertised as I had never heard of Carl and Alex as I'm pretty new to youtube but your a credit to angling. I'm now a full on subscriber and love your channel and really enjoy your videos its like a modern day passion for angling well done lads keep up the great work...

Well done guys. Hard work, absolute dedication and a pair of balls 😬 Keep the great content coming 👏

Love these 2, what a genuine pair of lads, you can hear how carl talks just how passionate he is about what he does, really cant understand why anyone would have any negativity towards 2 guys who are promoting angling in such a positive way 👍👍👍👍👍 what a breath of fresh air in todays world of self promotion, 2 guys just doing what they love and in the process putting out some real quality inspirational and enjoyable videos

Mad to think that Korda , a huge international company has 149K subscribers and these 2 young lads have 132K subscribers and catching fast !!! Looks like you got what wanted lads . More fishing friends . Long may they grow and prosper . Im from a rough part of London . When i was the same age that you two where , when yous started fishing . I was nicking Austin Metros and driving to high beach to do handbreak turns , tyre burn outs and doughnuts . Im 40 years old now and regularly look forward to your next videos . Keep up the good work and may the Fishing Gods carve out a long and glittering , successful , well travelled , well paid and always enjoyable career in angling for the two of you !!! Its where yous belong !!! Tight lines .

Absolutely brilliant keep up the great work lads 👍👍👍👍👍

Love this podcast. These lads are brilliant.. well done keep it up lads.

I was lucky enough to stubble across the inspiring youngsters a couple of years ago. The park lake was an amazing production. This pod cast has just confirmed that these guys are genuine. I wish them ever success in the future. Please korda look out for them, we need more anglers who truly love our sport.

What lovely , astute , endearing young men .. Their parents should be very very proud ..

Get them on ITV they would appeal to such a wide audience.

Just stumbled upon this !! Couldn't put my phone down ! , Awesome job Boyz as per usual 💪👌 you'll have my support for as long as you need it !

Should have been the Carl podcast. Joking aside two decent young lads and I enjoy there uploads. Keep it coming.

Hi fellas, great podcast congratulations to get Korda n Guru backing you. Love watching your vlogs myself and my Mrs, who incidentally is a fisher. Don’t stop making your vlogs and keep editing more often. FYI I’m 56 yrs young but very young at heart also love your tutorials and I will buy your book when you publish you will need more than a thousand. Good luck n Best wished always 🎣🐟👍

Great to see there are some young anglers that have the old school fishing values!!
