The team travel to a venue in Hungary that has produced carp weighing more than 40kg in the past. However, they quickly discover it shares a common problem with many lakes in this part of the world - there are also hordes of hungry smaller carp under 20lb.

The team members head to the Netherlands, which is renowned for its extensive waterways, but they will be focusing their attention on a lake called Carplantis which is home to some fantastic-looking, and very large carp. Plus, they also take in a spot of barbel fishing on the River Meuse.

The team film their first-ever episode in the UK, from the Wasing Estate in Berkshire, which has a number of lakes and was previously the home of the British record carp. Ali, Neil and Tom find it difficult to tempt the carp as this lake has been fished regularly by other anglers, and these old fish have seen everything over the years.
