Little story about the Thumbnail for this video. I did actually catch a pike from inside that pipe during the video, but when it came to transferring the files that clip as well as about 5 others corrupted and I lost the footage. After I caught the pike I decided this would be the thumbnail and was the only thumbnail I took this session. So even though the footage wasn't in the video we're stuck with this thumbnail. Tantalizing story 😂. So how'd you like the video?

Got to say, its so good seeing a KZfaq angler doing well thats not fixated on carp! There’s so many just hauling known fish out of over stocked lakes, its great to see some actual angling skill, water craft and verity on display in your videos. Keep it up mate 👍🏻

Congratulations on a great reward for fishing in Sub-Zero conditions. Admire your courage. Don't get much of those conditions here. That redfin perch looked spectacular. Great job, mate. MP

Opět moc úžasné video,gratulace a hlavně děkuji za inspiraci.

It’s incredible how you catch even when experimenting and in any conditions. Great stuff again.

Good session Chris. Shows how knowledgeable you are at reading the areas to fish. Glad that you stopped the bike in time otherwise I guess the base over apex video would have given us all a laugh.!

Not just the great fishing but no stupid music that drowns out everything top vid as usual your amazing young man👋👋👍⭐

Fabulous video Chris. You are a magician! Thanks

Nice days fishing , cracking chub , perch . Thought you were doing a dawn french in the puddle on your bike ha ha 🤣👍

Superb winter fishing another brilliant tutorial and catch keep them coming tight lines chris

awesome video can't wait to try this setup.

What a privilege to watch you at work. Loved it . cheers for the vidio...

Chris the stupid tube lures look brilliant,they are doing the job of catching fish really well. Amazing stuff. Some Lovely fish your catching too .

love watching you fish..thanks

Cracking session Chris! 🔥

Have you consider laminating a 50cm marking on to your net handle? Means you would always be able to measure the fish if you wanted to and seeing you use the net to land decent sized perch, it would always be immediately to hand. Thanks for the stream of awesome videos. Takes me back to my childhood fishing these little streams, cuts and rivers.

Great footage - It's summer here, so really fun to see what it's like to be in a cold climate :)

Winter chub fishing is pretty cool! Nice video mate, cheers!

Well done 👍👌 top Man love to see more Videos Dave thanks 👍👍 😊

What a great session! I miss catching Perch and Chub where I am living now! My first fish as a kid was a Perch.... Have always enjoyed catching Perch... That last one you had was a clonker! Great channel!

Never fish with tube bait ,, good mix of fish 🐟 Thanks for sharing

I found in flood on the ribble the chub were around minnow sholes we used to get the minnows going on maggot then use a big bunch on the hook for the chub which threw up minnows n maggots ,, great video will have a go with some lures for them. 👍

What an absolutely awesome video! Well done mate👍

Hats of for leaving your nearly, you've been framed entry on the bike in,excellent session as usual bud,your catching success is unrivalled on KZfaq, may your excellent channel continue to grow ginge lol

Just a bit of advice and cool way to fish all year round, In the rapid like area where you caught the perch at 7:30 In the video, I grab a small 5 or 6cm micro crankbait, I mainly use the rapala bx minnow or smaller, flick it out at the top of the rapids and let it flow down and let the fast water make the action for you, just don’t let the lure got too far and you’ll catch chub, perch and pike

A great session, that perch is amazing

Nice session mate 👏

Just found your channel mate,great stuff,i have a rainy day off work so im binge watching your great vids,I got no freshwater fishing here just salt,and i need a licience for that !,Keep up good work you lucky bugger.

After watching ur video I took the same lure and went straight to the canal in midnight. Got a perch within 10 mins. Great lure for winter. Appreciate that.

Great video again , top notch winter footwear 😀

Your videos are very nice and it's so fun to see how happy you get when your fish is on the hook

Awesome Video! Gonna try this as well!

another brilliant video

One of the best keep it up👍

So beautiful your place

I was fully expecting you to get into the pike. Shocked to see chub and perch hitting that tube bait so aggressively. Finally you got a pike. Best wishes for 2023.

It is not surprise for me 🙂 winter jigging for chub is a classic. One of my favourite ways of fishing when the weather is cold and they have stopped to chase all the other types of lures

Wow some nice fish Guess we now know a new Chub magnet Thanks

Tubes are a fantastic classic bait here in the states! One of my stanby's. Not flashy, but very effective. Put part of an Alka-Seltzer in it and hop it on the bottom is popular.

Such a beautiful place to fish 👌🏼

Great video again good luck with your next you our a conferdent angler stay lucky

I think the name of the bait would also describe the fisherman in my case when I'm fishing in -6 temperatures 🤣. Another great video.

Jak zwykle super👍

Favourite moment 4:02 with your excitement at the first chub and landing it. For an angler that catches a load of really impressive fish Chris I really enjoy how you retain that “big kid” feeling when hooking and landing fish. I’m guessing these “stupid” soft baits also have an aroma/taste? I’ve used some similar for perch here in the Netherlands and they have a salty crayfish scent - meant to be great for perch but I’m a little bit behind your catch rate I must admit! Tight lines

I live in north central US and cracking tubes for river smallmouth is a way of life. Such an overlooked technique, but it always produces fish!

Great days fishing the Perch was huge 🐟

G'day Chris, good luck to you fishing in the frezzing cold brrrrrr. Awesme fishing video as always , your feet must be like ice blocks in them trainers . All the best form down under mate 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

looks a great lure that, some lovely chub caught too! great session! you could catch from a toilet!

Top man !!!!!!!

Evening my good sir! I’m not sure if you’re aware but Justin Hawkins just responded to one of your comments on his most recent video about Alter Bridge. I saw it as a good opportunity to plug your channel 😂 Peace and love x

Dunno about use but I appreciate the little talk b4 u start fishing nobody usually tells good info about tackle and what to use

You really need to buy some good winter boots...it looks like you are going to play tennis! Gj, nice video!

Just ordered some tubes from your link, i hope it was an affiliate link! 👍 thanks agaon chris, great videos, youve really got me out of carp fishign and into small couple hours river sessions for perch and chub, still yet to find the pike! Seem to be hard to find on the river calder where i fish. Would love to know what rivers/canals you fish, they look very productive and so clear in the summer!

Lovely chub!! I’ve been watching you for a few months now. Where abouts are you fishing?

Hey. Nice episode. I've been watching you for so long that I already recognize your places. Do you ever catch the same fish twice? Greetings from Poland :)

Рыжий красавец 👍😀

I'd love to do a days fishing with you the amount I would learn would be great great video keep them up let's see some more great fish

Another cracking video, wish I had a local river as prolific as that one, its full of fish, is that the same venue that you catch Barbel as well Chris?

That lure is cool

Those Big Chub sure did come on feed.Cold the better sometimes

Tube bait is commonly use in North West Canada, especially those mini one that pair with 1- 3g jig. It is extremely effective, and all fish like it. You shell give a try.

I haven't seen those lures for years. My dad used to use those for pike fishing in the 80's/early 90's

Brilliant little bait and a great video with some stunning fish just a suggestion why don't you mark your landing net handle every 5cm so you can measure your fish without carrying any extra tackle

Fantastic session pal, is this on the river dearne?

Nothing stupid about tube jigs.perfect crayfish imitation. I've caught many species on them . One of the best smallmouth bass lures of all time !

Well done Chris another very good video, I will have to try that sort of fishing one day, Thank you,

Red Beard Brother! 👍

Wow cool

Nice fish mate. Prob shouldnt have put the last one back thou, he obviously warned the other perch ! We've been doing well with the 3D rat, last few weeks on the he cut 👍

Super 👍

Twenty years ago they were called Texas flying lures. It's a winning method. 🐟

in those conditions i find running a egg fly with some shot 3/4 foot up from the fly along the bottom of the slack gets the chub every time

I’ve seen quite a few of your baits and techniques before from playing some fishing computer games, it seems like you use a similar style to bass fishing in the USA

Thank you for sharing another great video bet you're feet was freezing in them shoes

Really common rig for smallies up here in Ontario. Sorta gone out of vouge as of late but those that know, know

Nice bit if fishing!! What polarised glasses do you use?

You could try using a tungsten weight from a texas rig inside and then a 2/0 weedless hook. Might work

It might be because I’m watching this a little high but them chub were lovely

Great day out in such cold weather, interesting to catch a variety of species, very enjoyable to watch. The new book ' River Pike in Northern England' is good on flooded conditions, have you seen it?

Sensible winter shoes! 👀 Bet your feet were freezing 🥶

Well done for fishing freezing conditions...cracking fish and cracking law fishing...

Been watching your vids for a while now and i really enjoy them but i keep getting the same question popping up in my head and that is, how do you go on getting all the permissions to fish all of these different locations or do you only fish known free waters? Keep up the good work.

Always Ace \m/

you'll have to get snow chains for that bicycle 😄

Tube jigs are deadly multi-species baits here in Ontario , especially through the ice. A proper jig head imparts the best action and garners the strongest bite since the shank of the hook runs within the jig so the fish feel nothing but a big juicy chew.

can you recommend a good drop shot set up for beginner thanks.

You can be shure that chub is hanging around in the slack water when the river is fludded. 😁

no waay. We ordered some of those in the 90's - they were called the Flying Lure back then! Never caught anything them mind you

Гарна рибка!

Where that them house look mint never seen owt like that houses backing onto water! Cheers

Excellent video, I got loads of plastics etc a couple of years back but due to I’ll health and house move not had chance to use them, after watching this I need to get on the bank asap 👍

What are the specs of that rod mate. Beautiful fish.

Morning mate love the posts! Do you let the lure hit bottom then bounce across it? Going to get my arse in gear and finally have a go . Cheers steve

❤️

can i get details of where to order that bait weight hook please.

The only stupid thing in this video Chris is you trying to ride your bike over the deeper than you thought frozen puddle.😆 I'd say that stupid bait worked sublimely for you. In cold weather like that it's often quite surprising how Chub respond to an artificial bait. And they were all magnificent silvered winter fish too. That slack where you caught the smaller Perch always seems to be a banker peg for you. The Perch at the end though was absolutely magnificent. What incredible colours in the winter sunlight and what a beast. You should think about taking your scales and tape again because you have definitely caught bigger specimens earlier in the season. What a fantastic video mate. Red letter day!😀🎣

Did the first pike you caught have 1 of it's lower fins missing?

Puka fishing session there !

is the bit at about 7:30 what they call ice fishing?

Do you have any friends who sea fish? Because if you do get them to bring you a few dead whiting for the pike I tried these a few weeks ago and wow 👌 it's a game changer
