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.

You’ve GOT TO go back after that monster !!

@TheBudgie29 11 ай бұрын

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

@christopherhindle1174 11 ай бұрын

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.

and the barman said "it's unusual to see you 3 together, what's caused this? The Perch replied "we have all just been caught by the same bloke with red hair and a red beard & now need a drink to recover", "Did he treat you roughly?" asked the barman." Nah quite gingerly" said the Chub 😂😂😂 - Sorry Chris.

Great video! Hope you manage to get the big fish at some point. I hooked a 20lb pike on my 3-10g rode once when perch fishing. Took nearly 15 min to land it and it bent my metal net out of shape. That was two years ago and haven't managed a fish of that size since.

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

@chippysanchez8999 11 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

If that net is the same net as I have which is the fox rage Street fighter then if the chub managee to get out, the net should have floated because theres some foam around part of the hoop. If the fish did eventually manage to get out of the net by itself then the net would have floated to the surface or down stream

@vinnyvtec8722 11 ай бұрын

Hard luck losing that monster. We all have stories like that so heres mine: fishing a lake in Essex for carp and my rod screams off. I strike and it continues to scream off. It takes me halfway across the lake lengthways and i think 'crap this is not stopping' it continues at the same speed so i tighten my drag......no effect. Tighten my drag again....no effect at this point its 3/4 of the way from the top of the lake nearer to the bottom so i tighten drag again and now its almost pulling me forward whilst still taking drag. So i go for broke and tighten it up again and after pulling me forwards my 15lb line snapped. Idk what the f@#k i hooked as the biggest fish in there was supposed to be a near 40lb carp, but this was like hooking a car. It didnt stop. Didnt slow down. I did hear rumours afterwards that there might be a couple of catfish that someone put in there illegally, but i dont know what it was. I REALLY wish i could have seen whatever it was, I've never felt power like that.
