So happy to see this man getting a sponsor! So thoroughly deserved. Some of the best uk fishing content for SUREEEE

Congrats on the rapala sponsorship. Well deserved.

Congratulations on the sponsorship. Well done. Look forward to seeing what they send and what works.

Your local river is a gem 💎 Showing a very healthy balance of fish with some whoppers to go

For sure i enjoy it! What a big chub at the end, what a beast on such a small Xrap! Nice video Chris, like it!👍👍🥇

I love the Rapalas. Honestly, it makes me want to go shopping for lures, then get fishing! Thank you, GF.

What a chub! Great vid as always Chris. Some of those bigger Perch were stunning and the upper single Pike was a nice suprise, but that Chub was fantastic. A real big unit. Congrats for that beastie.☺ It just shows how deadly fishing with small lures can be on rivers.

Great job getting that pike in bud done with skill , and congratulations on your sponsorship , like those wee rapalas

All your videos are great 👍 to watch. Thanks for sharing them.

New here, but liked youre style and subscribed. Watching this made me feel like the fishing youtubers I used to enjoy have drifted too far from why I started watching them. Glad to have found your channel.

Another great video fishing streams and rivers I can only dream of, I'm dead jealous. Keep up the good work Dave B, Chichester

Love watching ur videos, keep up the great work and all the fun

Excellent Session!! Ace!!

another chris classic awesome video thanks for posting,Dellboy

The fish care you have is remarkable! Never had much luck with hard baits! But I might give them a go 😏🤞

Pike and flourocarbon leaders.....It's always a heart in mouth moments when you hook them.... Monster Chub FFS !!!! Enjoyed that.....and very wise to carry some Pike unhooking pliers with you.....Even I do that....just in case.

Nice multiple species day!!! Loved this video.

What a cracking chub at the end there all the best on ya next fishing venture

Nice one Chris, the head shakes on that chub looked hardy 💪💪

I enjoyed the video. We used to fish like that here in Mid Wales 35 years ago, we'd use the smallest Mepps spinner out "00" I believe are the smallest. Also we used to scratch off the dots if they had red or blue dots. For some reason plain silver normally works best for trout and gold was better for chub but I imagine it depends on what's in the river at the time. Congratulations on the sponsorship. I like Rapala baits, I remember watching Matt Hayes years ago and they often did a talk on their baits.

Hi Chris, what a great session . Cracking chub mate and the Perch was a beauty 👍stay safe mate all the best from Downunder 👍👏🏻👏🏻

Really enjoy your videos Chris 👍

Great video agian! Congrats with you PB chub!

Great video matey, keep em coming

Those are some chunker Perch, dude. Nice lil river.

Get a couple small forceps! They are the bomb for deep hooked fish, go places needle nose pliers won't! Cheap. Love your video!

Nice video, just had a cracking trout session with the ultra light minnow on a tiny stream

Wow love ur videos mate keep them coming

Clonking Chub mate! Cracking bit of fishing.

Fun fishing..well done sorting that pike out...

im up north for next few days fishing in the sea at south shields for mackrel as i wanted to give it a go but ill be coming on the river as soon as i get back..the river IDLE in retford is looking better every time i see it on your video,s.the cannel is looking good also just as i remember it..the rivers i fish are hard going at times but still manage to catch..cant wait to come bag up on the river you fish..missed it as not fished the river IDLE in a few years..

Hello from Germany You have so nice rivers / fish in England Nice job with the Pike

Well deserved...awesome content and fish managment...

Was host crazy to watch this film ,💪💪💪🙌🙌

wot a cracking chub!..top angling!....

great video, keep them coming...love it....

Beautiful footage

Nice fish there chris mad blow ups good watch buddy keep them coming

Great catch and release of the large pike.

Unhooking that pike from through his gills was really skilful, great video again mate

m8 you have best UL youtube channel atm. Great job. I hope I can fish a river like that in the future :D I started making some lures for chub. I am sure they would absolutely destroy them on that river :D

Yet another mint vid to make me even more jealous river tees has seals that are nuking everything sickening but with nothing else to fish what can ya do keep it up mate I'll be watching 👍

Great video, thanks for sharing it 👍

Great video mate well done need to get a session mate

I think every UK fisherman loves to catch a nice perch, they are so redolent of childhood. I remember as a 12 year old catching a half pounder in the canal and thinking it was like a whale.

Another top video Chris well done cracking chub I would say it's a 6lb r easy love the content keep them coming as I live for them 💯👌

Cracking catch 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦕🙂🤞✌

Some good filets you're throwing back sir

Great Chub!

Love the ul minnow for tricky fish

great fishing!!

Lovely chubbly 👍.

The Rapala Jointed Shad Rap is a one of a kind crankbait. 🔝

Nice see you pal excellent content

Perch love the Rapala

Love micro baits

Good session, some nice Perch, decent pike and a monster chub to top it all off, wicked video mate. Love the care you put into unhooking the fish aswell, so many people just yank or cut the line after losing patience with unhooking in awkward places so it's nice to see unhooking safely and correctly with you explaining the process for those who have less experience, nice job Chris.

Great video. You are a very talented fisherman and I can see that you care for the fish you catch.Because you catch so many and return all you should really consider putting single hooks on your lures and even making them barbless. You’ll still catch a lot of fish. You will miss a few but you’ll be surprised how many stay on with a single hook and you will damage a lot less fish.

Biggest fan👍🏻🤘🏻

Supurb chub well done!!

OUTSTANDING video. Did that first strike startle you as much as me? I love it when they hit the lure as soon as it hits the water. Surface strikes are the best. Have you considered swapping out your treble hooks for singles? I've become almost strictly catch and release lately and it makes un-hooking so much easier. Not to mention that tangle of trebled lures in your box isn't so bad with singles. Again, thanks for sharing your time on the stream.

Show sua pescaria! parabens

Videos r so good

Wicked videos as usual dude... Any advice on a little lure rod? Just for some fishing down the river itchen for pike and small trout

Great catch with that chunker. It's always when you don't have scales with you int it. My pb Carp was without scales 😪😪😪

Nice video . Rapala will produce the good .

i like those rapala lures had some good times getting trout and perch with them here in New Zealand. been a while since ive caugth them but man those x raps really had great actions. those fish taking the lure were pretty epic takes. those perch r relentless as hell. kinda miss targeting them haha what was that crawling on your nail at 9:29

I’m gonna comment on every video until you listen; TIGHTEN YOUR DRAG! 😂😂 every time you get a decent fish I’m surprised you can even set the hook right it’s that loose 😂

Great video as always. Can i ask what camera you use to record the video's with? The quality is really good.

Bad angling practice. With two trebles in its throat that pike is dead if it bites through the fluorocarbon leader. Use a wire trace if there are so many pike in a water, or at the very least change out the trebles for a large single.

Excellent fishing buddy also try the Small Gulp Swim baits.

AWESOME

Some lovely fish there - that Chevin was a pearler! Small observation? - have seen you on this river many times........but never seen another angler on the water?

02:15 : óh, Jesus Christ, is Perch Bourne! 😈😈😈

Congrats on the rapala sponsorship. I have the same hip bag, what kind of plastic box do you usein this video?

All best

Fish care should be paramount whilst fishing I'm sure u would catch nearly as many fish on less trebles and more singles.at the end of the day we all should think about catching fish in our future sessions but using all these trebles can damage fish far to much and ppl should at least give single hooks a go.You may lose an odd fish using singles but the welfare of the fish should come first and not someone's Ego fact..!👌

Keep a pair of scales with you at all times you never know 🤞

I bought quite a few some years ago as a result of a French angler telling me he caught barbel on his by bumping them on the bottom in weirpools and fast currents. Didn't work for me as yet; they're smaller than you were using.

Chris you NEVER have your scales 🤣 Korum have just released some tiny digital scales, i think you need to get some!

That big chub was a real old warrior, wasn't he?

Mate, this isn't a complaint, just you seem to care about the fish you catch. Get yourself some decent (like I mean decent) forceps and keep them clean. Fish are very susceptible to infections, and with all the barbs on the hooks etc it's not hard to imagine what rusty old pliers might be doing. Nice rod, reel and line, time to add some decent forceps (also good ones will surprise you how much easier it is to unhook, get a straight nose pair, and a bent nose pair, and the best part is you just clamp them on to your clothing when you aren't using them, they aren't going to fall off on you).. [edit] Just wanted to say that the reason I say "Decent" forceps isn't because they will be better than naff ones medically, it's just that the proper surgical ones have amazing grip, and don't pop open on you.

Please use artery forceps rather than rusty pliers you can get them in all sizes and they lock onto your lapel with easy! Tight lines 😉

Great news about Rapala 👍 when lure fishing on a river is it better to cast up or down stream or both? Cheers 👍👍

you re the best

Man I wish we had perches like that in Canada... The ones I catch are like the size my finger.

🤩👏👏👏

Great lures rapala but I always swap out the hooks for barbless and take off the middle hook because 95% of the time it's a tail strike

We don’t have streams like that or perch that big in Pennsylvania I’m jealous

wonder why it was vibrating? do you think it was in pain?

👍

Great fishes! Ive got the blue-orange one ;) What kind of leader are you using ?

that worm on your finger at 9:30

Hi there - great videos - would be good if you could do an instructional type video on unhooking and caring for pike? Keep up the good work

Massive ginger beard! "Men Only" beard fertilizer?

Top class session I’d give you 6 lb for the chub. What river is that its spotless

Taking nothing away, the venue is selling these lures. And around £15-20 a lure that's a bit steep when watching those follows and takes many lures would have caught on that day (IMHO)

That Chub is 6lb all day mate. 👍👌👊

That is a chubb ! No chubb like this in France 😅

I'd love to fish perch with a mono leader.. however, in our waters there is always the risk of pikes which could easily cut of the thin mono leader.. thus, I'm always fishing with a steal leader and don't catch many perch :(
