In reply to those carp fishing videos: carp fishing is a cult, always has been, those videos are mostly promotional guff for tackle or bait companies which make millions for the owners from the gullible many.
Carp get big by eating lots, therefore, they can't be difficult to catch. I caught a 21 pounder on Wednesday, which rather proves the point.
Using a centrepin reel in fast flowing water takes considerably more skill than casting a fly, I do both (frequently badly).
