4lb 5oz river perch on the bfs gear

So i have had a few requests to fish some different waters and break down the methods in locating perch, i put this video together with that in mind and had a cracking day out on the water. let me know if you like the longer more in depth vidoes and i will try to make more. great news is my new microphone has just arrived so hopefully the videos from now on will have better audio.
hope you enjoy pj.
Rod : tsurinoya elf trout 1-5g
Reel : Daiwa steez with microcast spool.
Line : Tatsu fc 6lb
Lure : 3.5g ewg hook with my custom soft plastics

Woow! That is a hell of a perch monster.

[@cuTarefishing]

Ihaaaaa ! Nice perch my friend !

[@TheConstantAngler]

Great to see you back filming. Love your vids mate. Looks like a lot of the gear i use for Wrasse can be used for Perch.

[@dpfisherman]

Wow 😮 #donkey 👌🏻🎣👍🏻

[@Sflynn74]

I'm going to say it's all skill. No one gets that lucky mate. another cracking video, thanks for sharing.

@vince orr albert yup

[@richarddeboer8934]

More then great, you have it 💪

[@feralgrandad4429]

That's a Bass sized Perch!! No only did you just show us a totally insanely stunning fishing video, you were really great with them kids. Your a good guy Perch Jesus. Missed your content. Just fantastic. Cant wait to follow your trips in 2020.

[@norfolkyeti]

Well done James, well deserved.

[@jordantheallroundangler85]

Well in man, my PB is 4ln 2oz from the GUC 👌🏼

[@rokhnroll]

Cracking video I always enjoy your content, thanks for posting.

Really good video really enjoyed it thanks keep up the good fishing 👍

[@lenraby5920]

Nice to see you back on the bank matey and nice to see your in a good place.

[@grantelkin2510]

Once again a grate video, I to will have my very own ELF very soon. I hope I can catch a cracking fish like yours.

[@mrg9291]

Wonderful angling Jesus! Huge respect for taking time to educate (and hopefully inspire) the kids. Thank you for sharing your tips and memories... G. P.S. I've watched you for a while now and it definitely has a lot to do with your skill and knowledge! ;-) Tight lines brother...

[@Fishwish]

Best part of the vid. Cracking fish too of course.

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Awesome fish mate, fair play 👍

PERCH JESUS 😂😂😂 Bro we have to collab before I die 🎣🎣🎣

[@properpiker3219]

Looked like a puffer fish 🤣😂

[@Fishwish]

Thats one hell of a river perch. Love the fact you let those passers by get involved. Smelly pike lol 😂.

[@steveboram4415]

Perch Jesus great vid pal, always entertaining.

[@paulstares48]

Stunning fish, don't think you subtracted the weight of the net though. You should maybe put fish in a bag for life and then weigh it and you'll get a mor accurate weight.

[@viaphone8354]

😱 what clonkers. Love the interaction with the little ones , maybe two budding fishermen/ ladys .. Top man

[@dannyselg]

Gz! Are u filming are ur videos with a gopro? Im thinkin about buyin one, dunno if i should go for a used 7 black, or maybe i dont need better then 5-6?

[@fishgilman5854]

Need to catch a 4lb perch and fast 😂 I know you probably want to keep this place secret with how big the perch are but if you are ok with it I would like to know where this is

[@heyitsmetrousers4399]

That’s part of the fun of fishing finding the fish. My canal PB is 3.6 lbs in winter on the ned rig and I catch 2.5 lbers all summer under bridges and little hideaways on creature baits and worm imitations. Can’t beat perch fishing! Tight lines.

[@fishgilman5854]

@@heyitsmetrousers4399 cheers mate! Been having some good perch on the trent upto 3lb 12oz. Even had one snatch a small chub as I brought it in while feeder fishing. Tight lines mate

[@melroyfernandes1]

The lads @ work put me on to you, and just going thro your back catalogue! Cracking perch mate. Well done !

[@elwooddestiny11blues20]

Brilliant vid as always mate . Your definitely way out in front of the uk anglers on youtube that are using US and Japanese methods for our UK predators . Glad to see you back in action . I gotta ask and I hope you reply . If you could only have one , Teton or elf , which would you pick ??? Look forward to your reply and next vid .

[@JamesForrester]

Definitely the elf, it's much more suited to the river with it being a longer rod and I love the more though action!

[@elwooddestiny11blues20]

@@JamesForrester Oh you are a legend mate !!! Didnt expect such a quick reply . Is the teton worth having if you have the elf in your opinion .

[@chrisjackson8030]

why do you mess the fish about.you should have wet hands.

Well done pal 👍🏻🎣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@lv2fishuk120]

Awesome perch mate I’m so chuffed for you. I love perch they are an amazing fish especially at that size it’s a fish of a lifetime. I lost one last night on drop shot It had to be around the 4lb mark, I’m still feeling sick about it. But that’s fishing for you. Keep up the good work bro. 🎣

[@DevonLerfer]

Superb fishing as always! Always enjoy your vids 🙂👍🎣

[@jasonb4915]

May I ask. What landing net handle do you use. I’m after a short one like that which extends a decent way.

[@edgarallenpoe8457]

Those little glow shads have been my secret weapon. Seems like others know about them too! Great stuff man

[@trofim359]

My friend, do you like tsurinoya elf does it work with minnow and soft plastic?

[@FanterFishing]

Defo skilled not lucky, well done Jeebus, keep it up please.

[@PhillWyattFishing]

Great video and what a Perch! I was over the moon catching one half this size last week.

[@stephengeoghegan-doughty.5870]

Try a polomar knot, lots of better knots than your using, much stronger.

[@guernica8487]

Love the stuff. Would those tactics work for wild river browns or rainbows in still water?

[@Rob-zq8sy]

Amazing fish well done, not jealous, honest 🤢. liked the detail on the lures. Skill/knowledge increases your chances of a lucky bite!

[@dannyhale7449]

Great fish pal. Can you please confirm what rod/reel set up you are using.

[@solentslayer2745]

Why dont you use a wire trace? Save you damaging any more pike

[@sgtpavlov]

Nice fishing
