Don't forget to check out this week's YPC bank UK where we find out who's done enough to get through to the final! Wish me luck! It will be live at 6pm today! Here in the link - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a6t6q62qytmuaX0.html

Really appreciate that decency, care and compassion for the fish. Great work mate! Respect.

What an Ambassador to the sport you are young man. You have my utmost respect, support and admiration. <

Was this your first session wearing my FWC sweater? if so, IT'S A LUCKY SWEATER hahaha Well done on the giant pike!

Mate I love the determination from you but it wouldn’t hurt to have a break whilst you recover and maybe upload old vids or just montages I’m sure people would understand.

What a great capture. Well done. She was a catch of a lifetime on some canals 👏👏👏 ahh, but I congratulated you too soon. That poor last pike. What a shame for it. I'm just glad that you were there to help it. Well done to you for that.

what a great pike, that`s the moments of fishing you will never forget, greetings from germany

You are my favorite fisherman from England . I appreciate every single video you are posting . Greetings from Romania !!! ♥🎣

Well done Chris for catching a beauty fish! And also helping out the other one. Hopefully it’s able to live longer now🙏🏽

Smiling ear to ear watching this! Wow! Insane pike Chris, well done!

Well done some amazing catches ,so glad to see you put them back ,they are beautiful i used to love pike fishing years ago back in Yorkshire

Well done mate you deserve this fish,all the time you've put into entertaining us.

I was wincing every time you jarred your elbow that's going above and beyond for your sport, loving the use of double hooks and what a fabulous canal pike. Hope your arm gets better soon take it easy.

Top man Chris... heart breaking state of that fish.. Well done on the giant pike .. Great videos and respect

Thanks ❤👍 congrats on smashing up your group, looking forward to the final ! I’d love to watch a Vlog of you and Geroge, going on a remote adventure, fishing, together . The positivity of Geroge, and his contagious excitement would be an amazing video❤🎉🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣 Give yourself a rest, you don’t wanna do any long-term damage to that arm !!!

What an absolutely cracking pike Chris, well done and well deserved mate. Mint condition too! Keep the videos coming, always a pleasure to watch, ans so inspiring.👍🎣🎣🎣

Pike have always been treated abominably. In match fished waters they were routinely thrown up the bank to die. Gorge baiting was common. They are still killed in trout waters. Hopefully you'll do your bit to educate anglers what magnificent creatures pike are.

What an absolutely beautiful Pike stunning fish! Well done Chris 👏👏

If there was a medal for fishing bravery-then you were just awarded it! Amazing-well done and get better soon !

Sorry to hear about your injury. I watch all your videos. You r a legend. My favourite YT'er.

Congratulations for this amazing giant and thumbs up for your respectful approach. Fish with spinal deformity like the one you have caught are actually quite common, some of them are congenital, not caused by human handling. I have seen quite a number of perches with similar twisted spine that survive for years. Wish you a speedy recovery, don’t force too much on your elbow!

Superb video. Yet another of the top drawer. Well done! Hope your arm heals well. Best wishes.

Great work Chris always love seeing your notifications I’m sat waiting for the next notification now to see how you’ve done in this weeks episode of your predator competition I’ve been following for weeks now n I’m rooting for you 🤙

Absolutely brilliant! Really enjoy your videos and this was no exception. Congratulations on the pb! Such a shame about that other pike. Bad fish handling is a death nail...hope your elbow is healing too!👍

Well done that's an awesome catch. Almost like something special to make up for the broken elbow. Happy days. 👊

Well done hope you're shoulder gets better soon and have a great Christmas thanks for all the videos you have shared all this year

Some great advice there Chris . Well done on your new PB , your deserve that for you perseverance. Wishing you and your family a great Christmas and New Year.

The Pike Master, what a canal banger Chris 🎉😎 pity about the damaged pike also.....have a great Xmas....take care of that elbow bud.

just getting in to pike fishing and find your vids to be full of excellent content,great to watch and hopefully learn some things to add to my fishing.

Wow Chris. Only one arm. Well done my man! LEGEND!👍

REST YOUR ARM!! We'll be happy with some Best of 2023 compilation uploads. Get chilled and ready for the new year. Great upload and the 2nd big fish is why I subscribed.. Fish care is a must.

Aww Chris 😮 what a beauty I’m delighted for you pal I had to stop the vid to put my comment in as that was an absolute stunner & with a hammy elbow 😂 well done a great early Christmas present & what a present 👌🏼 hope you recover soon keep bringing these great vids I always look forward to seeing your latest vids Have a lovely Christmas pal ✌🏼💙🙏🏼👍🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Mate, you probably shouldn't have been fishing with that injury but damn, that was an awesome session. Real shame about the pike at the end but you did your best and that's all anyone can ask. Shame I can't make any videos about my favourite areas to fish. The locals would absolutely have my guts for garters. Great video dude. Keep up the good work but make sure you rest that elbow!

That’s just jaw dropping. Just to think it could hit 30lb in a year or two. Great video. I’ll have to seek out your grass carp vid, now! Well done Chris.

Congrats on the beast croc! Hope your elbow gets better soon. That last fish was in a poor state and well done on educating maybe new anglers to be careful with their catch. I remember not too long after i started fishing i lost my disgorger and though 'meh, i wont need it' sods law i caught a chub deep hooked of about 2lb. I tried forcing various things down its throat to try to unhook it even though i couldnt see the hook and instead of just cutting the line, i pulled it hard and pulled its stomach and its teeth out all at the same time with blood pissing out of everywhere. It made me feel so ashamed and to this day (29 years later) i cringe about how i treated that fish because I didnt know what i was doing and didnt have the right equipment. Now i always have multiple spare disgorgers of different sizes, wire cutters, scissors, forceps and if for some reason i've lost one, i dont go fishing. We owe it to our catch to treat them as well as we can.

Well done on your new p b pike Chris . Such a shame about the other bent looking pike but you done so well in saving it from all that crap rapped around it 👍 nice one

Congratulations my dude, you've earned it! 🎉 That's an unreal fish 🐟

U are a trooper Chris well done coming out with this content man nothing will keep u away from fishing thanks man can't wait to see the next one u should take a week of man brilliant loved it 👍 hav a gd Xmas

Congratulations buddy, only a handful of people have ever had a twenty plus canal pike, let alone a 25, an amazing early Xmas present and a bit of Karma after your elbow break. Well done, enjoy the feeling.

Just for a second, imagine how you would feel if ginger turned up with a great big fish vid off your water! I’d be devastated

After a lifetime of chasing the biggest bass I can I have switched gears and discovered a new found love of pike. While bass fishing I would catch pike on occasion, but never directly targeted them. Their strength and aggression is awe-inspiring. Nice job on landing some beautiful fish.

Great effort from you, especially with a bust elbow! Congrats on a new PB

Wow it's a monster! 😲 Congratulations Chris 👏 Friendships from France!

Another cracking episode, congratulations Chris on the PB what a stunning fish, it was awful to see what damage mishandling a fish had done to your second fish, very sad. Also, I think you will do just fine in the YPC UK final. You need to get yourself up to Scotland for a bash at the big Pike up here.

Beautiful pike bud well done new pb !!! I bet your elbow feels better after that fish !!! Superb video

WOW Chris thats a monster......and well landed and cared for the injured fish.

Hi!!! Ivm from Belgium... TOTAL respect to what you do. With your broken elbow. And how you handle, and talk about these beautfull majestic animals... RESPECT!!!

Chris - really big fan of your work. Mate, I've fished through many injuries and illnesses and know how it feels when you just want to get out on the bank; I can also imagine the pressure you feel as one of the most consistent YT fishing creators; but PLEASE take that bent back pike as a sign from the fishing gods that you really should be taking it easy! Your fans and audience aren't going anywhere but you could do so much harm fishing on when that break is in the process of its alignment and healing. It was tough seeing you in pain too bro!

great video mate i feel for the pike with a broken back. but also a big congrats on the PB AT 24 POUND get in there!

What a BEAUTY! 😍🐊 So happy for you Chris with your NEW PB Pike! ✊

Absolutely stunning catch! Brilliant fish.

Very well stated, well done! Wish there were more people around like you

Superb video yet again. 24lb pike was a beauty from a canal.

WOW What a pike that was eh Chris ! Excellent video as per usual mate, hope the elbow gets well soon 😅

Brilliant vid as always , well you did say you wanted to catch the Jacks mother , you probably got his granny , hope the break heals quickly , have a cracking christmas

That's a stonking huge pike Chris you wouldn't think pike of that size would live in a canal and well done on untangling the injured one

Well done buddy, you put in the hours so I think that’s a fish well earned. Thank you for the entertainment and inspiration

Great video as always Chris. Sorry to hear about your elbow. I broke my radial head in a climbing accident in my mid twenties. It took over a year to really recover but left me with no pronation in my left arm. Doesn’t really impact my fishing but I urge you not to unduly stress it by lifting big pike ! and take it easy with it generally.

Great video and a good lesson for people to take care of all fish on the bank. Just shows what csn happen when handled incorrectly. Well done on the PB 👍

Big smiles from here man. Very Good wishes to you. I own a wild life preserve on the Wolf River in Wisconsin. It has zebra mussels so people have used super line for years now. Thanks for being helping that fish. I have so much gear and just...

Awesome pike! You're in a pike fishing paradise! I live in the US, northeast Wisconsin. The smallmouth bass fishing is so good here that i haven't fished for pike in a long time, but after watching some of your videos I'm going to start fishing pike again.

As pike go that was a stunning looking fish. Beautiful colours

Clonker! Well done. All the best with the elbow!!

Good save, that pike was lucky you spotted it, another chance at life! Great PB too!

Every video I watch, i become green with envy😂!! your waters are full of life, nearly every cast you have one! Different story hear in norwich

I’ve watched only 2 of your videos so far and in both you’ve captured lightning in a bottle. First was pike on a pike on a pike. And this one-PB pike and that poor pike that was rescued by you. Amazing work mate!

Awesome work Chris! 👏👏👏

Hats off to u Chris 😮awesome one arm fishing hope it get better soon so u can catch some decent ones 😜👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻

It's really beautiful there. I love the urban canals. Great stuff.

true dedication to the sport love the passion man

Wow! Great pike! C & R. Fantastic fishing canal. Must have good forage fish.

What a bloody fish! and while angling with a fractured elbow! Nice work Chris

An absolute stunner pike! Well done!

Well done on the pb Chris an fair play giving the other one a second chance

Great job well done with a broken elbow as well, you dug deep and got the reward

Well done on your pb pike and for maybe saving the other pike 👏🎣

That’s a beast for the canal my mate caught one about as big in our local river. Thanks for respecting the fish 🎣

Congratulations on your PB it was a cracking fish and another great video 🎣🎣

well done mate congrats on the beast and the education on handling anything that can help people look after the fish is a plus it amazes me how fish can survive with injuries I've caught completely blind pike in the past caught that fish twice you could tell it had some age to it large head small skinny body but was doing well and one that had some sort of back injury was only small but boomerang shaped was still feeding and fought the same as a healthy fish.

Awesome fish bro, congrats on the pb !

I will be out deadbaiting on a circle hook this week mate, hope your elbow is better soon 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Super fish!!!! Just love a big pike.

Great fish Chris. Well done.

Chris you are a remarkable angler.

Thanks for putting them back

Snagged Bro, are you guys watching this? 😂😂😂

Such a high followed by such a low. Congrats on the new PB, chris. What a specimen pike for canal and with a broken elbow 😮 It's so sad to see pike shortly after.

what a beast of a pike! nicely done mate!

What a stunning pike! Well done pal😊

what a capture! christ the head and belly on that thing. congratz m8. LOVE this channel!!

Well done mate!! What a stunning pike

Wow!!!! What a Pike, well done Chris! 👏 the other pike was disturbing as you say people need to be careful! Top video mate …. Smithy

Great effort Chris especially under the circumstances. The ignorance of some people who go fishing either unprepared without knowledge or unprepared without the correct equipment for when they catch one of these beautiful creatures is staggering. I just hope people see this video and can take with them something that will better prepare them for catching and handling pike. I'm yet to catch one of these magnificent fish as my species of choice is the perch but I know that there's a good chance I will eventually hook into a pike whilst doing so. I am however prepared as possible for this happening with a net, mat and suitable foreceps. Ohhhh and good luck in the final of the YPC 🤞 I have enjoyed watching all of the episodes and the friendly competitive rivalry has really stood out.

Well done 👏 ✔ thts one hell off a canal pike mafriend, 🎉 total and utter respect from glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ✌ 👏 🎣🎣

Big respect and congrats to a canal monster

What a beast that was. That was a massive head she had. Wishing you a speedy recovery with your elbow. I'm yet to catch 20lber I got close last year hoping to joining the 20lb club next year.

Well done Chris new pb and saved a fish probs kids catching that pike and don't know what to do with it you can go away and enjoy yr Xmas and new year 🎣 👊💯

As always Chris a cracking session and a beauty of a big girl Top Angling
