[@MrMikeyc10]

What a series. What a session. What a phenomenal fish, stunning condition. The channel has to explode now. Thank you for sharing this mile stone.

[@obsessionwithangling]

Thanks pal

[@piscatorialquagswagging]

Took me 6 years to catch a >10lb canal Zander and I must admit I shed a tear when I caught one 😢. What a fish 👍 and the others in the series well deserved, effort = reward

[@ItchybackSubtletouch]

Congrats, on your lifetime achievement!!! Phenomenal catch! I was shaking and tearing up with you…every moment. Now that you achieved that goal, GO GET THAT 40, lad!!!

[@NorthWalesPiscator]

I’m sat here grinning so chuffed for you. What an absolutely stunning pike. Hopefully it doesn’t take another 20 years to catch a 40 😂😂. Thanks for bringing all of us along on your sessions. Your production is first rate you deserve to have a hell of a lot more subscribers.

[@jerrycann8006]

I started watching you this season. I even commented, saying,'Yet to see this bloke catch a fish' Well, I'll eat humble pie. Well done, mate.

[@brianmccarron6445]

[@martinbrunning5510]

Mate you seriously know how to make a fishing film. This is straight out the top drawer!! Well bloody done!!! 👍

[@wazzywazzy8609]

Lee, you couldn't script it any better. I don't Pike fish but really enjoy watching you go about it and the passion is there for all to see. Really enjoyed this end of season series, massive congratulations and respect.

[@b62boom1]

Fair play mate, you thoroughly deserved that. Those blanks and the wettest winter I can remember have tested all of us, and you just kept going, putting in the time and suffering for your art, and what a result! You've had some amazing fish the last few trips. Enjoy that buzz!

[@obsessionwithangling]

🙏

[@brandonjones9640]

This is what make fishing such amazing sport! These moments will never be forgotten 🐊

[@AmerJawad-jj4ib]

Got say, as a match angler this channel has certainly captured me. Not what you might expect a match angler to watch but after watching a couple of your quests, I was hooked by your passion for the sport! It’s not luck at all, you have put so much time into catching what you have, and more importantly found where these big fish are. Truly well deserved and thank you for sharing. That last pike… wow. I am speechless so can fully understand how you must be feeling. Well done mate 🙏

[@mounteverest24000]

Fishing footage at its best. Drama, emotion, and realization all packed into 16 minutes of film. Absolutely quality from start to finish. Congratulations.

[@obsessionwithangling]

Thankyou

[@fishallseasons]

Lee ,the wait was worthwhile for you and all of us who follow you ,your passion and dedication are second to none and you inspire us all to achieve our fishing goals ,what a magnificent pike to cap off a magnificent season ,all the very best on your next quest ,tight lines and thank you .

[@Arnhem44]

Wow, what a way to end it, some fab fish and that last one deserves all the congratulations you get, an absolute clonker. A huge well done to you and thanks for sharing these sessions with us.

[@Retirement_Life]

What a bloody magical fish! Well done, chap. You’ve put in the effort and can rightly reap the rewards. What a great series of videos…I’ve watched them all and this is a fabulous culmination. Well done, again and if you ever do get that 40! 😮 👏👏👏

[@TerraKoi]

Congrats on completing your quest and pb, the video brought a big smile on my face. You just never know what is beneath the surface, well done and the best from Belgium

[@bricky5862]

This has been the best series of fishing footage I’ve seen this winter season bar none and topped by a fairy tale ending! Absolutely buzzing for you mate! Well done, well deserved!

[@JohnDeans-eq8xh]

Lee congratulations and what a pike, I fill that i have been on this journey with you over the last two year getting this magical 30lb watching all the pike video when posted, you are a great ambassador for pike fishing and showing people the right way. All the best 👍

[@wayneherries]

Amazing videos Lee, The passion you have I can feel in your films😊 And the end put a smile on my face from ear to ear😊 Please like and share this guy....

[@pikefishing3730]

Lolol my god Lee I watch every video and I am absolutely over the moon for you .honest angling honest angler and very very very well done on ur 30+ and what an amazing season .

[@1conkers1]

I’ve been waiting for this vid, congratulations mate, 30lb is still on my dream list but I feel just as excited for you. Well done and huge thank you for the videos and reigniting my passion from my John Wilson days!!!

[@markbuckingham125]

Nice one Lee, well happy for you and well deserved. Fantastic angling and perseverance. Looking forward on watching the 40lbs journey .

[@davek-yy8xu]

Made up that you got your fish of a lifetime, I’ve really enjoyed watching your films and picking up tips along the way. I’ve said it before, it’s great to see the care you have when landing and releasing your pike. Brilliant stuff

[@ianparker2619]

Made up for you Lee, a stunning capture. This series of pike videos has been up there with some of the best I’ve watched. Fantastic work👍

[@daredreamerafloat9078]

Chuffed for you Lee! What a fantastic conclusion to a mega season. I've thoroughly enjoyed what you've been putting out for the last year or so, and I wish you all the best for the future pal. Keep smashing it!

[@glynpicknell9946]

Congratulations pal, you deserve the pb with the hours you put in, brilliant cliffhanger to finish yesterday’s video 👏👏

[@obsessionwithangling]

Thanks glyn

[@MichaelLewis-k1w]

Absolutely amazing, I've been glued to this series. Well done. And thank you👌

[@jelmerp4714]

Massive congratulations! You really deserved that fish, what a beauty. Great video, the voice over really makes it epic.

[@Piker_Tom]

Absolutely brilliant mate. Have seriously enjoyed watching your season. Congrats and bring on the 40 quest 🎣🐊

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

This got me emotional! Fantastic skills, work, endurance, tenacity, and ability to come back from failure, time and time again . Well done!! Some people will never understand the reasons. The goal doesn't matter, that is for you to choose, it could be money for some greedy people it could be boxing, it could be science. The point is, you did your best, improving with each failed season, and carried on until you did what others will never do! The sound in your voice appreciating that fish is what life it self is all about, that is the peak and actually living the dream. Money can never buy you that feeling. Well done!!!!!

[@portcullis5622]

Beautiful fish. A just reward for all that effort during an unbelievably wet winter. Well done!

[@johnnyd9441]

Your fortitude after 3 blank days was certainly well paid..what a fish..what a season..well done fella ..😊

[@LoneWolf-ks7ts]

Finally we get to see the beast. What a fish. Fair play man well deserved. What a great run of videos from you as always. An insane season for you. Good luck with the next new challenge of the 40lb. 👍🎣🔥

[@funktff]

I am overjoyed for you. What really captured me was the amount of care and love you show towards the fish. it made me really happy. so that the anglers of the future can see that it is one thing to catch a big and beautiful fish, but also to treat it with respect and care. is at least as important.

[@wjl2601]

This is what fishing is al about. The timing was just right. What a beautiful, stunning fish! Can't wait to see you catch a forty. That will be something else you know:-)

[@bobkeeble521]

Many congratulations mate!!!! It’s been over 20 years since I had my one and only 30lbder……. Still remember it like it was yesterday!!!! (16ft drain at Chatteris). Your vids brought it all back!!!! Well done and well deserved mate 👏👏👏👏

[@Boxersboy-um1fd]

Lee - I am probably just as speechless as you! Been following your adventures for quite some time now - you'd already had an amazing season before this behemoth arrived - no-one deserves it more than you. The hours, the sessions - you are one dedicated man and the fruits of those labours are here for us all to see. No need to apologise on how you feel when you don't know what to say - it happens to us all when that which we catch is the fish of our dreams. Remember catching a 2lb 2 oz Roach on the River Lea whilst fishing for Livebait - I can't tell you how much I was shaking when she went on the scales - I believe from my friend who was with me at the time stated I was just talking gibberish. These times are what we, as anglers, live for - every time the float goes under, the bite alarm goes off, the quivertip pulls round - we never know what's attached until we land them. Well done Lee - if anyone can get a 40lber, it's you😁

[@obsessionwithangling]

Thanks mate

[@ST-dr6qx]

Waugh!!! Fun-Tastic!!!! and thanks for letting it go!!! the small fish would not appreciate but ..... Lucky man!

[@warrenchesebro2100]

Lee, you won another Subscriber with that catch. I just started watching your videos regularly a month ago. Well done my Friend! Your reaction was Priceless! I really appreciate how you handle a fish before you release it. Another year of good living and you will be chasing a 40 lb Pike!

[@kenwarburton2578]

Many, many congratulations Lee. If anyone deserved to catch a 30 plus, it was you mate for all the effort you have put in this season. A fantastic series with a truly magnificent fish to finish with. I am not a pike angler, but this series has had me well and truly hooked. Brilliant mate, made up for you, and I look forward to seeing you back on the bank with a new target very soon.

[@seancoaten5273]

Fish of a lifetime buddy...makes it all worth while...thank you for sharing this experience. What a absolute beautiful creature..👊🏻

[@obsessionwithangling]

Cheers mate

[@Deathst4lker]

Well done mate - great content as always - and well deserved - I've loved following you recent adventures, thanks for sharing!

[@obsessionwithangling]

Thanks mate

[@danram69]

[@robertball6575]

Well done on the last day of the season. All your effort over a long season in horrible weather is finally rewarded. Top angling.

[@bera2762]

I am so very excited for you. Congratulations on your catch. Inspirational video and I am glad you shared with all of us your moment you deserved. Cheers and keep the passion and faith. That forty pounder is waiting for you!

[@DOCFMUN]

Fair play too you for sharing your epic quest with us this season. Easily say to you that your content. Is better than most out there. Keep them coming and stay humble. Im sure we would have watched you over the past 20 years as well, with videos that good.

[@Darjan1985]

Here is the season finale i was waiting for like 2 weeks from shorts ...great job Lee, the edit looks extra this time too...i was kind of in doubts after that 28 pounder and only one day remaining, but this was indeed the chery on top as are your videos before going to bed...i am glad your endurance was rewarded, happy days

[@JohnT1]

Seriously well done mate, I had tears in my eyes watching that, I watched you for a while booked on syndicate’s and blanking. And now my words can’t express how happy I am for this capture for you. 🎉

[@phil3038]

What a season you have had, its insane but all down to the hard work and skills you have, I've learnt so much from watching your channel!

[@tonyashton780]

VERY VERY WELL DONE LEE 👌👍🇬🇧😁WHAT A JOURNEY MATE.Your hard work has paid off big time it's been an awesome series.You deserve every future success buddy CONGRATULATIONS 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@jensunray1]

Just seen this ....all of those silent hours have payed off. Congratulations....total magic mate....and at the end of the season...you deserve this mate!

[@noahfallon5679]

Well done lad. Been fishing for 4 years and on the hunt for a 20 Ib pike, could never imagine catching a pike of that size. After 20 years of ur life looking for that fish u definitely deserve it.

[@Solar_editz123]

Massive congratulations mate!! Well deserved the planets aligned for u!! Great videos loved watching them. Good luck in your quest for the 40!!

[@obsessionwithangling]

Cheers Craig

[@stevesmith9015]

Well done mate what a fantastic series of videos deservedly crowned with that fantastic fully deserved pike. Those of us who sit on the banks for many hours in glorious solitude know exactly how that capture felt and most of us aspire to be to feel those special moments. I have only been focussed on pike fishing for a couple of seasons and my PB is 15lbs. Armed with what I have learned from your approach I am aiming for my first 20 from October 2024 and your video make me believe with hard work it is achieveable. My preparation in selecting rivers and swims has already started !

[@adrianmcleish9124]

Ahh brilliant mate, watching from Western Australia. Was back home in Ireland for the last 8 month's for family commitments and i have to say your video content got me mad into the pike fishing and sparked a love for it. Well done mate ,well done 🙌🎣

[@stevem987]

So well deserved, the effort you put in week in week out, fish of a lifetime, massive congratulations 👏🔥

[@obsessionwithangling]

Thanks Steve

[@helencurtis9252]

Fantastic 😊! Well done. I’m not an angler but have had a fascination with pike for years. Delighted you’ve caught your PB. I’ve really enjoyed the journey.

[@christopherbritten1787]

Watched all your winter pike videos, fantastic angling and well chuffed for you catching that 30 pounder. Congrats and well deserved 👏🏻 🎣

[@ghostbustar]

Congratulation on an amazing fish. True story, as kids we mainly fished for carp in the summer and only occasionally fished for Pike in the winter. We were fishing a small lake one day when we caught a 30lb pike. That was 40 years ago and I still remember it as if it was yesterday.

[@fransfermont6193]

Wow that is a big fat granny of a pike. Congrats with the awesome catch. Good luck. 👍👍👍👍

[@obsessionwithangling]

Thanks mate

[@jamesdoyle3885]

She's an absolute gift, what a stunning fish! Massive respect for your persistance, amazing! 👍

[@robertkirk1983]

Congratulations buddy. I had proper smile on my face watching that. So very well deserved. Time, dedication through blank after blank earlier on season. To finish the last few weeks on massive high and to end it in last few hours with a true fish of a lifetime. Well done, and pushes me to keep going to get my first 20lb next season 😊

[@pa6981]

Fantastic young man , a pleasure to watch , be proud of yourself. Watching your journey has been amazing and we all know fishing is good for your mental health…THANK YOU 👍

[@geoffyoung7822]

Wow what an absolutely stunning fish .Well done. That's the fish of a lifetime for most of us .we'll deserved. You put so much effort in .have loved every one of your pike videos more than once .roll on October

[@jamesrussel1133]

So pleased to see your much deserved success. That result was immense. What a stunning fish. We are so lucky to live where we do. What makes it all so rare is the threats to our fish stocks from the combination of predation and neat sewage releases. Fish that size are arguably rarer than ever before. Well done, much respect.😮

[@craigpalmer7002]

Well deserved Lee, it’s been a pleasure watching your pike fishing over the winter 🫡🐊

[@cr_carping_adventures]

Absolutely incredible Lee! Brilliant season! Effort = rewards. You have ABSOLUTLY smashed it! 🐊🎣

[@thomashallam9817]

[@markhoughton7625]

I discovered your channel back in November, searching "pike fishing" looking for something to add to my own fishing. Alls i can say is absolutely remarkable, and im absolutely over the moon for you, genuinely. Good angler, excellent channel, absolutely remarkable fish. Props to you mate...very very well done 👏

[@deanwestwood7686]

Just shows you all them years and all the time and effort paid off I couldn't imagine how happy you was when holding up that fish your vids have taught me allot it's time to put the lures away and dead bait on the rivers next season

[@georgebrush4746]

What an absolutely brilliant series, loved all the videos, and congratulations catching the big girl fantastic thank you.

[@___..Will..___]

I have had to put all fishing on hold the last few years as two small children arrived, your videos have really made a difference as they are real fishing and I have definitely taken on board some top tactics for when I start up piking again next year. I live 25 minutes from Chew, can’t wait to see you fish my local water. It’s brutal but I have a feeling you will catch though, do your research and I’m sure you will be in for a chance. Outstanding results this year, well done!

[@jamesross1799]

I really like your emotion a non angler would never understand that but you have spent your whole angeling life in pursuit of her .

[@macdaddyanglers3650]

Unreal mate your relentless persistence shows the real angler it’s not all PBs and rainbows there’s a lot of blanks, disappointment and graft sessions which make the dream session a beautiful memory. Well done buddy I hope your channel now booms. Looking forward to the 40….from a UK river though????

[@obsessionwithangling]

Cheers mate, the 40s gonna be a deep resovoiurs mate

[@Lakridza67]

I almost cried when you put this beautiful creature back where it belongs! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥

[@Jack-ur3wv]

Congratulations man. What a fish from the river.. My pb was caught 23 years ago, sh to was over the thirthu, so I can appreciated your excitement, and sometimes frustration. You have just raised your own bar so much higher, so I hope you are not waiting another 23 years like I am😊😊😊. Well done. Regards Jack from Ireland

Congratulations mate on a stunning fish,🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@Alex-ss7oj]

I’m just going to say this how it comes.. I’ve just watched the build up to this video with all the 20s you had in them sessions, this one is currently on my TV, so I’m yet to see this part. I came across your video while looking for a Barbel video and I’m now actually hooked to your content. I’ve watched fishing videos since I was a kid and you are absolutely up there with them legends like John Wilson, Matt Hayes, etc well for me anyway your videos are better. The music, the camera views, how you conduct yourself is absolutely brilliant. You go through your technique’s, where you fish, your thought process, and I’m actually blown away. You are going places and it’s honestly the best content I’ve saw in 35 years of watching shows. I truly hope your channel goes viral. Keep them coming 💪🏼👌🏼

[@obsessionwithangling]

Thankyou 🙏

[@callyakn718]

I’m a Lincolnshire lad, grew up spinning on the fens with my father, had some cracking times (I’m now 30) and the years went by the fish slowly seemed to go down in numbers. Keep meaning to get back into it more so now !

[@markjoyce1720]

Just absolutely brilliant i'm not a pike man myself but what an absolute beauty.Congratulations on such a fantastic capture and really good fish care.👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣
