Great video! Nice to see Tom and Oz in a joint video, both seem genuinely nice guys as well as top anglers. They were lovely looking carp, I’d be over the moon with those catches. Ps, how Tom manages to put up with the squeaky reel I’ll never know! 😂 Would drive me up the wall. 😂 Cheers for the great film.
Great video CYP , Stokesy' one of the most likeable anglers with great solid angling skills on youtube , and Oz who's and angler you'd bet on to save your life to catch a carp anywhere and reminds me of Charles Bronson in the Death Wish Films ( showing my age Elliott , he is proper old skool 👊) 😆 Superb film Steve M
Great film as it was obviously gonna be. A quick comment on Oz’s insanely long landing net mesh. Whoever designed that net ( I guess) did so to keep up with current trend of keeping the fish in the net and sticking the handle in the lake bed. If that makes you happy I’m happy for you! But one day, maybe with the fish of your dreams on the end, you will try to net a fish only to find the mesh is stuck on a root or something on the bottom and you are now in shitsville! One of the worst designed items of tackle I have seen in nearly 50 years of carp angling. Avoid the desire to be trendy at all times!
Nobody designed the mesh for that purpose…..they have always been made twice as long as they need to be. I retain my fish with the landing net on a stormpole with a two rod buzz bar and ESP buttgrips and a rear bankstick with an ESP butt grip. If there isn’t sufficient depth in front of me for the mesh I just extend the storm pole up . The fish can never jump out and is safely retained for unhooking and weighing. If the day comes when only short mesh is available ( probably never) I will make a cover to go over the landing after the fish has been landed.
@@Kingcarparpeggio >Nobody designed the mesh for that purpose Korda have literally done that. This is how they advertise their deep mesh and I'm pretty sure it's the same mesh that Oz is using. "One of the great things about the Korda Landing Net Mesh 42in Deep is that it's deep enough to allow you to push the handle into the lakebed with the arms far enough above the water to retain and stop any carp jumping free after capture. This is especially important when you're trying to catch larger fish, as they can be more prone to jumping and trying to escape."
@@kcon1 : They were being made far too long way before Korda designed ( if that’s what you call it) their net meshes. I don’t need to worry about mesh length with the system I came up with. Just adjust my storm pole up or down. Works for me.
Anyone is allowed in a boat if fish welfare is the key. Life jackets and letting me know prior to execution. Fishery management. Not been an issue since as the weed had disappeared.. 😮
