Great vid Sam you lucky man I’d never get any work done if I lived there

Interesting shoot sam. I may give that a try on the float tube. Saves having to stand for too long.

Quality viewing lad really enjoyed that , unsure what u use for your bread fly but have a look at kids ramen sponge most chemist's stock them

Great video mate. Top angling.

Use your fly rod with a bread fly into the pre baited area 19:16

Down st aubins? Never caught anything other than a mackerel, would be curious to try going for mullet, just got a cheap little telescopic rod from Andersons

i have the same lures in my box, 1:1 ➡ where do you live in UK ?

Wow perfect timing. I was just planing on going mullet fishing 😂. Love the videos

Thank you, well done, excellent . . . I learned a lot here. Methinks I will be trying a floating bread fly as a bite indicator, with proper bread on the hook below. I am trying to work out HOW YOU FILMED THIS?

Can I ask how you got the side camera angles while wading? It gives great footage

Hi mate, Please please please, make us a short tutorial video to show how you set up the camera at 5:00 and which piece of equipment needed. The angle is just perfect, especially when wading like here. I am sorry, but that big fish will haunt your dreams forever, tell me about it 😅😅

If i may suggest, utilise flies done with circle hooks,hook pull or hook dropping out is highly unlikely

Catching fish on the longrod...flyrod is the ultimate👍

That was great really enjoyed watching.Useing the reel drag a wee bit will help tire the fish out when it takes a run.

👍

Excellent video your right the fly is a perfect size when I’ve gutted my bass in the past apart from the normal small crab lots of small bait fish a little smaller than your fly. Nice one 👍

Mate we all feel your pain losing such a great fish, and am bound to say at last a fishing video with great music, rather than the usual tripe, tight lines fella and great to see some catch and release

I can recommend drilling a few 8mm holes in the corner and centre of the gutter of the stripping basket to drain away any water. So sorry that the beast became unhooked! As good as those flies might be I always prefer to tie my own simply to control the quality of the hook. That goes for pike, saltwater and freshwater flies of every kind.

Loved this video, really informative. I'm in the Dundee area of Scotland, I assume that that squidding doesn't happen here? I've never heard anyone talk about it. I'm thinking area dependent, thought Arbroath is near by.

Great Video Mate. My favourite fish in the world. lol. I caught a 10 lb bass when i was 12 and i was hooked from there on in. That was a bloody monster.....

Absolute pleasure to watch this video 👍🏻🎣 well done mate 💪 how do you atach your camera to film yourself from the side? And also what weight rod did u use and what line? Thanks will wait for more video like this well done 💪

Cracking video. Well done Sir

As always outstanding Sam. Felt for you on the first but what a comeback eh. Brilliant 😅

Awesome video mate, had my head in my hands when you lost that first one, could tell it was a BIG fish! But that second one was equally really nice, booking my flight to Jersey now! 😄🛫

Nice 🎣 😉

I live in Paphos. That harbor is supposed to be a preserve. No fishing allowed. I do see people fish occasionally. Police say nothing, because the number one characteristic of Cypriots is indifference.

Oké that was a great bass on the beach, but the battle with the first fish was absolutely bonkers!! Boy would i have loved to see you land that fish. But you know......our hobby is called fishing and not 😊😊😊 Greetz from Stipo from Holland

Don't believe anyone that says a single hook gets more hookups than a treble, better for the fish for definite but bullshit on the hookup rate.

Nothing wrong with the video, i felt i was there, you got me excited about it. LOL

Was with you every step of the way playing that big Bass, so unlucky not to have landed it, but kudos to you brother for pushing on and still bagging a decent silver bar, great video dude👍👌💪

Omg what a beast of a fish, I screenshot the slow motion film, it was a monster…. Gutted for ye pal.. Quick question as want to try the fly, Floating line or sinking? Cheers

Sam I've followed you various fishing adventures over the past year and live the variety of species and methods with which you fish for them. Here is another example. I've not finished watching it but you've just lost the big one and I feel your pain. Especially having it in for as long as you did!! I used to fly fish exclusively for bass years ago but lure fish now. However this is a great reminder to fish different methods and as someone below wrote fish to the conditions. I fished in Brittany a few years ago and having seen the bass in the day time I knew they'd be feeding somewhere at dusk. Essentially they and other species were rounding the the saradine balls up at duak and smashing them into the headland rocks literally at your feet! These were very big fish the shoal id seen though only 12-15 fish were likely high singles. Anyway I hooked a complete monster the biggest I've ever hooked alas instead of turning and running it came to the surface and shock its head ferociously not only for me to see its mass but also to shed the hook right in front of me!!! 😮😮 ill not forget it. Anyway long one great video I'll watch the rest tight lines jon

Interesting watch always fancied trying it but always ended up out with the lures, thinking I need to set up a rod and rear

Ahh, I feel your pain…. This has inspired me to get the fly rod out again, I have yet to hook a bass on the flyrod. Had some luck with bombarda but not the same though it can get a fly out a long way. I’m thinking I may set up a backpack to hold a rod so I can switch to fly, on the fly, if circumstances dictate. My back won’t let me use a fly rod for long so switching between lure and fly may be the answer. Small lures, including shrimp, are definitely favourite early in the season.

Cracking film 😎👍 thank you for your efforts mate

Im definitely thinking of getting my fly rod out and giving it a go after watching that! Just waiting for the water clarity to improve here around the Norfolk Coast. Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it!

Is that just a wireless trolling motor you've bought and fitted or adapted a standard motor. Only asking as seen a wirelessly controlled one on ebay for sale . Thanks

Excellent fishing AND catching. Well done. One slight constructive comment is that perhaps a headcam perspective rather than the chestcam would have improved the viewing experience. Thanks for the video.

What leader length do you use?

Brilliant video mate.. you handled that big bass loss really well!! I then rewatched some of the bass gilthead video and another big bass got away!! Can totally relate to losing good fish or blanking tbh! 😂😂😂

Very interesting video buddy thank you

What rod and line weight are you using, have an 8 and would love to try this.

Mate that was a pig of a fish, unlucky, I think you did all you could.

She's a bewty mate. Shame about the one that chucked the hook. Always be a big set come in or something when you're trying to manage a fish on. Thats fishing innit? Enjoyed that video 👍

On the pause as the wave hit you.

Gutted for you, great watch though.

Amazing Video, nothing beats catching a Bass on the fly. Shame it can be quite restrictive at times. Several times I’ve been out with the fly rod and not been able to reach feeding fish, which I would have been able to with a lure. Having said that I’ve often been out fished by a fly when fishing lures. Love to see more of these vids. Subscribed 👍
