You live and learn 😉

It’s a problem, I move swims very frequently so never bother getting my pike net unfolded. Lost a few messing about with the net one handed, plus barbless hooks doesn’t help.

If I am honest in the very early days when I fished with my late father we shared a net which is fine until you loose a few fish and then it hits home. Over the years its only happened a handful of times but I would never fish without a new being ready to be used, its a crazy idea especially when a lot is at stake.@@leftmono1016

What blows my mind is the awkward nets people use 😂

You must be a carp man 😂

Cheers Lex 👊🏼

Imagine being us 😂

@AdyWoodchucker hey atleast it's keeping us out of trouble eh?! 🤣

@@andyh9030it’s 7 long days ti the next one 😢

@@AdyWoodchucker best go fishing, and pass the time mate 🤣

Cheers Mick 👊🏼

@@AdyWoodchucker nice one Aidi. 👍.

Thank you buddy, I do love my Pike.

Legend! You and paul taught me everything I know about pike and how to handle them 💪

@@107fhVery kind of you to say so, have a good season and tight lines.

You too mate and good luck for the remainder of the tournament 👍🏻

PS, still use your rattle rig to this day 👍🏻

Its a lot more pressure than people realise, we all felt for Dan especially on the first day when we knew what each other was catching but we all knew that if it clicked he would be dangerous.

Thank you buddy 👊🏼

@@AdyWoodchucker mate I can see you love your pike and your fish care...Brilliant mate..

Cheers Matt, we go again next week 👊🏼

A net magnet would have saved Dan a hell of a lot of lost fish. Would have been well into the lead.

They actually have a purpose, they are lightweight UV protection and they allow us to have no restrictions around the arms and shoulders. It’s also free advertising 😂

I know buddy i'm just playing i've not done any skipping. plus they are really comfy when you get in bed after a hard days ice hockey@@AdyWoodchucker

Yes they are useful. You can spot a tool a mile off.

did it make it 😂

I hope you made it with having to reach for the charger 👌🏼

I do apologise, it was a little release of pressure ☺️

CWC003 (special pike) 👍

@@AdyWoodchuckerthank you Ady.

I’ve had a Guppie in my lure box for over a year now. Only tried it properly at the weekend and the action is fantastic! I’ve got the larger one though so couldn’t cast as far as I needed to reach deeper water. My usual go to is a 10cm Salmo Slider which casts like a bullet.

The 23cm is 120g so you need a pretty medium to heavy rod to cast it and set the hooks. The work really well on the countdown method, you could go for the junior if you are using a lighter outfit@@leftmono1016

@@AdyWoodchucker - thanks Ady. My rod casts up to 150g but you can’t generate (or I can’t) enough speed on the cast. Plus it’s not as aerodynamic as the Salmo Slider which casts forever. But I’ll definitely be using the Guppie a lot more when I can 👍 Rooting for you mate.

It should hehe

@@blankmasterfishing exactly 😂🔥

The rules are pretty strict and a fish must be hooked on the inside of the mouth to count.

@@AdyWoodchucker I understand:) nevertheless that double netting was pretty impressive 🔥

@@TopstekTVThat’s a good spot for big perch that Dan is fishing but to have two in the net at the same time is mental.

wow amazing u want an award?

@@Beni_Boi 😂😂 i always wondered what all these people that comment first, get from it

Calm down sour patch kid 🧒

Imagine being this salty in life! 😂

@@blankmasterfishing imagine saying first to a video

It's just semantics, don't stress! 22cm perch isn't tiny, otherwise most of mine would be microscopic 😉

I must admit that I have never been worried about the size of perch in length terms because I have always classed anything over 2lb being a good Perch, 3lb a bloody good Perch and a 4lber the holy grail. But when you desperately need a perch ti fill the card a 22cm Perch seems massive 😂 big or small we love them all.

@@leftmono1016 In the US they use night crawlers as bait. Imagine my fear as I entered the shop, would they have ears, how big would their feet be, would they have teeth? Turned out they were just plain old earth worms that you get in garden soil. I guess you'd agree that worms crawl, limbs are not required and it's just semantics. All fish are "sizeable" but you can't tell if they're "sizeable" until you've sized them. I just feel sorry for the real sizeable fish. They don't exist in this world.

@@Doupyourflies - although your analogy is a little off (look up the definition of crawl 😉), I too always wondered what night crawlers were. Imagined something nasty looking like a rag worm. Just checking my records, over the last 18 months I’ve caught 428 perch (yeah I’m sad like that, but gives me targets). Most from very small rivers or brooks, around 30 from a small lake I fish when the rivers aren’t fishable. Out of all those fish, one was just over 3lb, around 5 were over 1lb and the rest were smaller. Now I admit to going for numbers rather than size, but it gives you an idea of the type of sizes you see in the U.K. 22cm is an ok sized fish for me. And in the context of YPC UK, it’s sizeable 👍

@@leftmono1016 "move forward on the hands and knees or by dragging the body close to the ground." Slithering and undulations a crawl do not make. Only American earthworms crawl. What you going to drag above the ground with if you're a snake or a worm? My gripe isn't about perch. It's about language. I spent a childhood chasing tiddlers. Didn't something wipe out the big perch in the '70s? I found a small stretch of canal in the '80s near Stroud and was amazed how spectacular a 2ib fish is. Then in early noughties I had a couple around £3lb out of the Brue.... not a very sizeable river at all, it crawls along at a very slow pace when it's not in flood.

There's only one river piker

I have upset you sweetheart?

That's not factually true, every heard of Nathan Edgell 🥱🥱@@urbanracingclub

You couldn't upset me if you tried you absolute bell
