Tom Stokes and Nigel Sharp prepare for underwater experiences they will never forget; fishing among weed and silt. With the usual trials and tribulations in their way, both anglers must pull for the ace cards if they’re going to achieve success.

Tom Stokes’s D-Rig has accounted for a large number of his most prized carp, which include some of the biggest and best carp the UK has seen. When you’re angling for fish of this calibre, on the gnarly old pits that they reside in, you need strong and reliable tackle. Having faith in a rig is cri...

With his feet finally under the table and the wheels in motion, Tom’s campaign takes an unexpected turn. A twist of fate and a bold tactical punt completely reshape his approach to deep-water fishing. As autumn creeps in, he raises his game… and what follows is a run of unforgettable captures.

Stokesy and Elliott go head-to-head in an underwater match. It’s mid-February, there’s huge carp in play, but the conditions are against them. With freezing temperatures and snags all over the place, getting bites will be a challenge. Both anglers must use maggots as part of their approach, and w...

Tom Stokes ends his campaign for one the best mirror carp ever to have lived in the UK. He’s seen, fished and heard of a number of incredible lakes since, but few compare to this place.

Tom Stokes is regarded as one of the nicest guys in carp fishing and it was a pleasure to join him for our Session film.

After a run of misfortune, Elliott needs to pull out all the stops to turn things around. As the weather begins to improve and new spots come into play, the momentum starts to shift. With the chance of a giant on the cards, just one bite could flip the result on its head. But with time running ou...
