I'm Shook! Biggest Fish I've Ever Caught Out The River!!

Well this was one of those amazing short sessions where everything comes together. I had been fishing the float tube on the forgotten ponds for about 3 hours without a bite before deciding to quickly jump onto the river to save myself from a blank. I was using my new predator fly fishing setup that I was desperate to catch a fish on! I only fished for less than 3 hours, but the fishing was incredible! None stop action with the pike nailing the pike left right and centre even coming back after the flies after getting hooked up. In the last swim before returning home I had a big surprise! Enjoy!

You are one hell of a good fisherman. I have been fishing for over fifty years and have always been obsessed with Pike, you catch more in a short session than I catch in a month. Your passion and perseverance is obsessive and inspirational mate. I don't have the same motivation as you anymore but I always have to get the rods out after watching you go at it. Keep it up mate, it's great viewing 👍🏻

Hi Chris, wonderful video! Your words “wonderful to get a pike on a fly rod” how true. I am a fly fisherman from late teens, now almost 68. I have tied flies to a very high standard for almost 50 years. However, as previously mentioned in my comments, I admire all fish, and not all can be caught on fly. My flies catch fish and when fishing for trout in rivers, lochs and reservoirs, I have caught innumerable chub, perch, the odd roach and dace. Nick from York

@17losttrout Жыл бұрын

Chris has caught bream and tench on a fly/jig, which is pretty cool. I was with a friend fishing for big eels with a rudd deadbait - he caught a rudd on his deadbait, a bit over a pound in weight. We were surprised. A few years ago, on a cold Christmas day, I caught a 9-10lb or so yellow Koi on a fly at a friend's trout fishery in Kent (Springhill) - that was a bit of a surprise too!

@michaelafrancis1361 Жыл бұрын

There's a little commercial still water in East Yorkshire that I sometimes fish. It's not really serious fishing... just a bit of fun for the huge variety of fish in it. I sometimes take a fly rod just to see how many different species and varieties I can catch once the fish are up in the water and feeding frenziedly. So far I've managed to catch chub, orfe, roach, rudd, common carp, golden orfe, blue orfe, perch, golden rudd, crucian carp, skimmer bream, small tench and even, heaven forbid, a small barbel on the fly rod Even more ridiculous was when I caught a goldfish, just over a pound and a half, on a little white fly. You can have brilliant fun on a fly rod with coarse fish. I first learned how to use a fly rod when I was very young on the Ouse in York catching bleak, dace, little chub and the odd roach and you can spice up a day on one of those horrible commercial carp puddles if you target the carp on the fly. You don't need a southern chalk stream or a Scottish salmon river to have fun with a fly rod.

Fantastic vid and fantastic fish Chris. It just goes to show how deadly fly fishing for Pike can be...and not just for smaller fish. And you are right. That was an absolute unit! Beautiful colouration and I'd say between 18 and 19 lb. One Chub or Perch and that's definitely a 20 pounder. A return visit is in order for the not too distant future, I hope.☺

@dangerousbeans8067 Жыл бұрын

Great vid mate some advice if I may 😂… don’t strike like you would usually with lures but instead jerk the rod backwards keeping the rod pointed at the fish as the 9wt rod has not got enough back bone to set the hook well .I usually jerk the rod back 2 times to set the hook with a 9 wt it takes some getting used to but the hook up rate will increase 👌

@michalhluchnik124 Жыл бұрын

Good way to have good hook set is to point with your rod on the fly and strike it with your left hand where is your line. Dont hook set with your rod💪love your videos👍

I've not fished since a teenager, but recently decided to take it up. Just a bit of simple float fishing for now. But I'm loving all the pike vids I've seen recently. Takes me back to when I was a nipper and being fascinated by the one in a case on my uncle's living room wall. 30 pound monster she was! He caught her in Berkshire in 1979. A bloke offered him a grand for her on the bank but my uncle turned him down, saying that it was the catch of a lifetime. Great vids my man👍

Good to see you on the fly, it’s very effective. Easy to unhook a pike on a debarbed single hook. Get yourself a line tray it makes life so much easier. If you find yourself bumping the fish try strip striking.
