The Land of Giants: Lure Fishing in Holland for the World's Biggest Perch

Рет қаралды 10,362

Күн бұрын

Welcome to the Haringvliet in the Netherlands - a huge body of water that's home to some of the biggest perch found anywhere in the world; a place where your next cast always has the potential to produce a new PB. For the obsessive perch fisherman, the Haringvliet is an absolute must at some point in your life.
After years of talking and fantasising about this ultimate angling adventure, we were lucky enough to spend a week there in March 2024.
And it definitely did not disappoint. Huge perch were caught, long-standing personal bests were obliterated over and over again, and a lot of fun was had. The stamp of fish was extraordinary - crazy as it sounds, 3lb and 4lb fish began to look small with the number of 5lb perch coming over the rails. And still the fish got bigger.
Hopefully this video goes some way towards capturing the head-spinning awesomeness of the perch fishing we encountered during that week.

Many Congratulations . So many fish of a lifetime on the one trip, everyone setting a new PB and breaking the existing British Record Perch. It cannot really be bettered, a great video showing what 3 skilful anglers can do when things gel for them. A Red Letter Trip with catches that will remain long in the memory of those 3 anglers, who lets be clear deserved their success by meticulous planning the trip and researching the venue before they left England . They then used their skills as Perch anglers to catch some truly amazing Perch, they deserve the plaudits of all anglers. I am not a Perch angler but I thoroughly enjoyed this video.

Beautiful video, this is a very beautiful stretch of water in our country, where records are literally being broken. I bought a house here a year ago to be close to my fishing grounds for pike-perch, perch and sea bass. The season starts again here in the Netherlands on Sunday after 2 months of spawning rest. You guys are literally fishing in my backyard, hope to see you here sometime. Amazing video.....

@ferst5937 3 ай бұрын

Nice video and informative! Perch can be really big here in Holland! One of the best looking too! Just a little correction here as your explaination of the sidescan at 23:25 is not right. The fish are not 14m from the boat , but 12.5m. The beam always go down first and then to the left and right. You have to remember to always retract the depth from the distance. It doesn't matter that much as it's really shallow in this situation, but the deeper you go, the more you are off. Say you see the fish at 14m from the boat, but the depth is 8m, the real distance to the fish is actually 6m and not 14m.

@@christophejuillet138 Salut mon pote, le 163M Poison Adrena est une action rapide modérée et avec sa sensibilité supérieure et son poids de lancer supplémentaire, il fonctionne parfaitement pour ce type de pêche, comme le montre la vidéo. Mais généralement, lorsque je pêche des poids plus légers et des présentations, je privilégie une action rapide ou extra rapide, comme le Zodias 164L-BFS que nous avons également utilisé à bon escient dans cette vidéo. J'espère que ça a du sens mon pote 👊

Find all this tech spoils the fun. Much more satisfying to fish old skool. Get out there and cast, cast, cast. When you find a fish it is all the more worthwhile. This is pointless. Might as well cast a net in

@Watercraftfishingtv 3 ай бұрын

Hi mate. I'm assuming you've never used tech. I've fished all my life without tech and caught hundreds of big perch and I still do that on the river. Check out my Instagram if you need proof. This type of fishing is made much more possible with tech but the learning curve is steep. I'll take you out on the boat and ask you to use the tech to find and target fish. I would imagine you would find you might struggle to catch any utilising the tech without hundreds of hours of practice and learning. It's like sight fishing for trout. You don't catch every one of those and a net certainly wouldn't help there! Thanks for watching mate and tight lines 👊

Great video guys! I love those baars!! Adam have you played with the Livescope settings more? I'm not an expert, and I bet you've already made the tweaks, but in the unlikely event you have not, I think you will see there is a lot of scope to get it dialled in even more...!

@Watercraftfishingtv 3 ай бұрын

Thanks mate. It was one hell of a trip. They were just crazy fish!! Yea I have done a fair bit of playing with it at home on the river but as you know its different on each body of water and to be honest I didn't want to spend too much time dialing in as I was using the SVue mainly for this trip. It was mainly just to keep us moving and searching! Next time now we know the areas a bit more I think the Livescope will become even more useful! Hope you are well mate and thanks for taking the time to watch 👊
