I Cant Believe I Hooked a River Giant!

The aim this session was to try and target big river perch on shads. The river had finally ran off from some floodwater conditions and seemed a perfect time to target these predators. Working the lures quite quickly it didn't take long before the fish started biting! It was some nail biting action.

That was probably 30lb+ Pike. That Is how they run when first hooked. All you got to do now, Is mark that spot, and go back In the Winter with Deadbaits. And then try to nail Her. Big fish like that usually stay In the same area. Great Session again Chris, Hope that all Is well on the home front to, Keep 'Em Coming.

@@iamrathercool12121 i moved back to UK from Malta 2 years ago.. I watched these every day over there.. no rivers no lakes no fresh water fish for me to catch... I can honestly say Chris is a massive influence as to where my fishing has taken me over the past 24 month... first 6 months i put in at least 25 hrs a week on the canal and river just trying to find the big fish... after around 14 month its possible to catch a 40cm+ perch at least once a week if you know where they live ;) as for chub... same story if you know where they live you can catch them... hats off to Chris for the devotion he puts into this channel and now his career... i would have given up after those big fish if it wasn't for watching him make it look so easy... however Chris must put in hours an hours of searching and just watching the water.. hence the bike ;) if you want these big specimen fish and move away from catching 20cm baby's a bike, 20 hours a week minimum and a hela lot of early mornings haha its truly possible. Thanks chris for making me obsessed with fishing again

Having that Perch, Pike and Chub in the same net is awesome man. Your videos have really inspired me. I got myself a 1-5 gram set up to fish the local rivers. I’ve had some good fish but never managed a Perch, Pike and Chub in the same session, never mind the same net. Thanks for the inspiring videos look forward to seeing what you catch in the future.

I don't know if they have ever been seen or caught in this river, but I don't mind betting you hooked a catfish, the way it fought and went off leaving a trail of bubbles from the bottom, is classic catfish behaviour.

I know I need a fishing license that I have, but I really don't know about the permit stuff about fishing a river. Plenty people say "get land owners permission" or you need to be a member of a club etc, but I am really having difficulty in finding clubs and rules of rivers etc. Much appreciated in advance and keep up the good work

Anyway that trout looked like a big barron loner or are they quite common in that spot?

@chippysanchez8999 8 ай бұрын

Seen plenty of bream but they don't hang about, they swim straight through at a good rate of knots so they must be heading to a regular feeding area but I'm not sure where. Got a few ideas where the tench are hiding which I'll be trying but in general it's nearly all tiddlers at the stretch I go to. Might be some bigger perch hiding somewhere just not seen them yet. Biggest I've had is about half a pound. Found a nice pocket that's always full of jack pike tho so will be having a go after them
