Great angling skills, you deserve every success with your channel Chris.

Great videos, great picture quality, especially on this one and excellent fishing skills. A proper angler that knows what fishing is all about

Cracking little river there, very much like my local. I’ve had some great success this season catching barbel and chub. Had my first on the stick and maggots last week at 6lb, tremendous fun!

That was really good fun fishing. You are one lucky S.O.A.G. to have access to such a nice river!

Great vid Chris. That's my classic kind of river fishing too. Stick float and maggots. Feeding little and often and bringing out some lovely fish. For a 2 and a half hour sesh that was brilliant.☺👍

Back on the 'magic river' again I see! Never known such a small & shallow river contain so many decent fish.👍 Your very fortunate to have that on your doorstep.

A lovely demonstration of stick float fishing for big fish. I really enjoyed it. Thanks !

Another cracking video. Probably the best angling videos that I watch.

Hello. Thank you for your videos. I watch them with interest, I take many of Your methods into account. Sincerely, from Ukraine.

I know of no other angler that makes it look so easy.

Greetings from Poland

Great video like always👍🏼 Now for something video unrelated, I’ve been following this channel for a while now, but KZfaq never recommended your 8 year old music video until today. Now I need more 😅 so much fun to see you sing and play (with hair!)

John Wilson (RIP) for the KZfaq era? Chris certainly has the enthusiasm, skill and good humour John had!

You make it look soooo easy …there is a plenty of knowledge and skill !Well done ✌️

So nice to see how your channel is developing. Another great video

Another great video Chris. always love watching you fishing

Awesome fishing,you can't beat the stick float,and what a fantastic swim to fish the method.

Extremely jealous.... Would love to live up there where you fish,that river is angling heaven to me. Trotting,ledgering,feeder free lining etc.... plus the canal you fish too,you've got it all 👍👍👍 Great video as usual.

Lovely looking river Chris, can't beat getting in there with them!

That was superb Chris, brilliant video and a great result with a load of old maggots! 🖒🖒🖒

A classic video chris absolutely awesome mate,para

Had some nice chub out of that swim trotting breadflake with centrepin reel and chubbier float plus a bonus barbel

Great little session for good quality fish. V

Lucky lad! I'm pretty sure I know the river and canal you fish. Used to fish around there when I was a kid. Harder going then and no barbel in those days. Great video as always. Glad to see you're not being idle 🤫

top man ! all the best from germany

It's always such a pleasure to watch your uploads! Absolutely love it, some real beauty's there aswell 👍 tight lines bud

Can't beat the stick float method. I use a closed faced reel myself. I was lucky that my dad left me several fully working ABU 506's. ;)

Your videos are improving every time I watch. Quality all round angler keep em coming 😁

it`s Great To See Your Videos I. Notice Your Very Kind To The Fish You Catch Care About Superb From Chris.

Excellent again mate. True professional.

Some cracking fish good on ya pal

Watching your videos from Singapore. Good stuff man. Already subscribed to your channel. Cheers!

Lovely session. Great to watch and I think I'm fishing too light !

Top video Chris well done pal some top quality fish on a easy setup 👌

Reminds me of the other day I fished on the river Severn at bewdley but I had roach to 2lbs on hemp and tares. Great video and lovely fish mate. 👍

Great session! 💯

Rly nice video man! Keep them coming! Xoxo from Sweden

'The pouch already stinks as it is' said no kangaroo ever :-)

used to love stick floating the trent

Absolute joy to watch that

Loverly way to fish Great vid✌️✌️

Enjoyed the session, as always, but can’t help feeling you should try a centre pin.

Yet another cracking video.

Great skills

What a great video very entertaining thank you mate 👍👏😀

A good days finish went out today to try get some winter pike, a few jacks and one at 15.7lb last pile of the day was a huge one just got the tip of its head in the net and it spat the bait out and swam back down, I’ll put it in the early/ mid 20’s gutted. Back home now from the gym happy Christmas

Nice that’s one I need to tick off my list another is the barbel well in ❤️❤️🎣🎣

If you go to a horse stables and leave a 5 note on the stable door saying thanks for the worms. Go and dig under the horse manure. Loads of the red worms you want. Just stretch them out before you fish with them. I get loads before I go. Keep them in the stagment moss.. For a couple of days. They work great a red worm and a mggot.....

I watch your videos with such envy. I've been coarse fishing for 36 years and the Kennet and Thames here in Berkshire appear devoid of decent fish. I think a huge part of the problem is the red signal crayfish explosion AND certain European's catching and removing fish. Such a shame as my 11 Yr old son is desperate to follow in my footsteps. Anybody else feel the same about certain southern rivers?

great action, thanks!!

I’d have been happy with that hawk, well done Sir

What a terrifice session, loved this , few more days to go, thanks man for all the work you put into these videos.

This River is like canal I mean to small… River in our country are huge.. 😀 Big Big fish catch with hand line… 🥰

Hi brilliant video,I do alot of trotting for chub myself on the river Sow in Stafford in the midlands,at 18mins 54 secs in on the video you pointed out little black speckles on the chub ! I'm concerned that this may be due to disease and it might be wise to inform the authorities about this as it might be something serious,it might be black spot disease also known as fluke disease (Diplopstomiasis) or something more serious !!! We are as they say the eyes of the river and should always look out for any irregularities, tight lines

nice one. our local river (which is a similar size) is pretty coloured right now by algae so trotting doesn't work too well. the chub go to about 6lb but I'd prefer clearer water

I'd love to see you catch those big chub on little silicone creature baits. If possible of course!

Brilliant! 👍

Enjoyed that. Fair bit of weed going down that river.

Going through a right stressful time and, get one of your vids I’m phhhee back on the bank..it’s alright for a minute

Those maggots look terrible mate ( we’ve all used those )🤣😂🤣 good fishing, good video though 👍

Great vid, waiting for wag on canal for tench 👌🏻

Great vid

Great stuff, Chris. How about using a trotting centre pin reel though?

nice video ...🤘🏻🤘🏻🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🖤🖤

Very nice fish bud =) I was wondering, over here in Germany it in my club it is actually forbidden to put perch into a keepnet with other kind of fish since they have scales that harm the other fishes skin resulting in them getting infections. Just in case you didnt know and might care about it =) Keep up the good work dude!

I love your style of fishing, where are you in the country?

Awesome buddy..

I aways put some groundbait in with my maggots seems to keep them dryer so they don't got slimey with that horrible smell.

Great session chris.well that's debunked the "fresher the maggot the better" theory..great angling

Nice vid Chris with the chub and barbel, nice fish and strong!

Stick float magic. Probably see you outside chippy again.

hahahaha these maggots in the front pocket LOOOL

As a Kiwi ( No coarse fishing here in N.Z.) I am finding your vids absolutely fascinating! I didn't quite get why you couldn't put the barbel into the keep net though? Thanx for sharing.

Great video. What river were you on?

That's a lovely swim. Is this a club water?

Which river is this on ? Fine bit of fish

Are you Shakespeare backed now? Nice too, if you are..

Hi buddy what reel is that your using looks nice

Chris your channel is really good and helpful and you inspired me to go fishing again, I know you have to fund your fishing trips and youtube is a great way to make some cash, but you are spoiling the action with far to many adds mate, every 2 mins is destroying the action, all so some locations would be nice, I do subscribed because you are one of the best fishing channels on youtube, keep up the good fishing mate, more fish less adverts please :)

100th comment keep it up love ur vids

Let me get this straight - A 4000 series reel spooled entirely with 6lb line? Do you use an entire bulk spool to do that 😳 🤣?

Love your vids mate been watching y channel for some time are u a South Yorkshire lad by any chance 😁

Hi mate love the vids really got into fishing but really stuggling to catch consistently know any good spots for fishing in the uk or any personal favourites would appreciate if u got back to be boss man

Nice catch! Location please?

i do a lot of fishing on the upper severn. im shocked to see no salmon parr like there once was

Great videos, but it would be helpful to know just where this is.

What river is it mate

Great video and catch. Everyone should do what works for them but drives me mad watching people play fish off the clutch like that, still pulling back and the clutch giving line. Appreciate it works and each to their own but think it removes a lot of feel/skill from playing a fish.

Barbel snag you on the far bank and chub snag you on the near bank in my experience .

can’t believe you missed the Walker’s crisp packet in the margin. All of us anglers should clean our swims, so we leave them better than we found them😔😔😔🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Legendary

Bit of a noob question, but why can't barbel go in a keep net?

Im shocked how well are the rivers stocked with fish in UK, especially watching few your videos the rivers are considered tiny more like brook. I usually fish for small trout in little rivers not for pike and all the other big fish 😮

I STILL want to know where in the world you're doing your fishing, Chris. Your accent sounds European if I'm not mistaken. Soooo... WHERE are you fishing?

😀👍✋🙋‍♂️

Super angling skills. I love your informative style and range you fish for. I do however question the barbed hook choice. I fish where they are banned. I’ve noticed the difference with respect to damage of mouths. It was horrendous in the past. You are careful but barbs are barbaric in the damage they do !

Nice chub....nice reel... pocket full of rotten maggots...well only an angler could possibly go to there...

Mate I absolutely love your videos but PLEASE TIGHTEN YOUR DRAG A BIT 😂 I notice in every single video your drag is too loose. The drag shouldnt be going constantly like yours, only when the fish pulls a reasonable amount. Give them play but not to the point that the drag doesn't stop lol. Not criticising just offering some advice but I guess we all fish differently.

chub. gob like a skip

Go Pro and everyone is an expert 🤦‍♂️
