[@walkingwithgiants1]

Great angling skills, you deserve every success with your channel Chris.

[@petercalthorpe7966]

Wow fantastic session Chris , awesome Barble , Chubb and the perch. Good on you mate ,stay safe all the best from Downunder 👍

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Thanks buddy

[@grahamb8346]

Great videos, great picture quality, especially on this one and excellent fishing skills. A proper angler that knows what fishing is all about

[@Євгеній-ц4л]

Hello. Thank you for your videos. I watch them with interest, I take many of Your methods into account. Sincerely, from Ukraine.

[@MrTim207]

Cracking little river there, very much like my local. I’ve had some great success this season catching barbel and chub. Had my first on the stick and maggots last week at 6lb, tremendous fun!

[@WolfmanWoody]

That was really good fun fishing. You are one lucky S.O.A.G. to have access to such a nice river!

[@marcharley6465]

A lovely demonstration of stick float fishing for big fish. I really enjoyed it. Thanks !

[@needham831]

Great vid Chris. That's my classic kind of river fishing too. Stick float and maggots. Feeding little and often and bringing out some lovely fish. For a 2 and a half hour sesh that was brilliant.☺👍

[@LuvBlues64]

Awesome fishing,you can't beat the stick float,and what a fantastic swim to fish the method.

[@Richie65afc]

Another cracking video. Probably the best angling videos that I watch.

[@jonathanmawdesley-thomas1863]

You make it look soooo easy …there is a plenty of knowledge and skill !Well done ✌️

[@TheSpringerman]

Had some nice chub out of that swim trotting breadflake with centrepin reel and chubbier float plus a bonus barbel

[@davewalker2167]

Back on the 'magic river' again I see! Never known such a small & shallow river contain so many decent fish.👍 Your very fortunate to have that on your doorstep.

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

It almost literally is on my doorstep. This spot Is just over the road

[@christreacy8563]

it`s Great To See Your Videos I. Notice Your Very Kind To The Fish You Catch Care About Superb From Chris.

So nice to see how your channel is developing. Another great video

[@jaypeegolf]

Lovely looking river Chris, can't beat getting in there with them!

[@woute5490]

Great video like always👍🏼 Now for something video unrelated, I’ve been following this channel for a while now, but KZbin never recommended your 8 year old music video until today. Now I need more 😅 so much fun to see you sing and play (with hair!)

[@delwigzieful]

A classic video chris absolutely awesome mate,para

[@Nick-01536]

Extremely jealous.... Would love to live up there where you fish,that river is angling heaven to me. Trotting,ledgering,feeder free lining etc.... plus the canal you fish too,you've got it all 👍👍👍 Great video as usual.

[@TriviaChallenge]

John Wilson (RIP) for the KZbin era? Chris certainly has the enthusiasm, skill and good humour John had!

That was superb Chris, brilliant video and a great result with a load of old maggots! 🖒🖒🖒

I know of no other angler that makes it look so easy.

[@caymancostas4045]

It's always such a pleasure to watch your uploads! Absolutely love it, some real beauty's there aswell 👍 tight lines bud

[@adriansmith1410]

Loverly way to fish Great vid✌️✌️

[@RobTaverner]

Can't beat the stick float method. I use a closed faced reel myself. I was lucky that my dad left me several fully working ABU 506's. ;)

[@neilsmith7547]

Reminds me of the other day I fished on the river Severn at bewdley but I had roach to 2lbs on hemp and tares. Great video and lovely fish mate. 👍

[@telefonhoe1204]

top man ! all the best from germany

[@seanbrooks4081]

used to love stick floating the trent

[@alanbrain8905]

Lucky lad! I'm pretty sure I know the river and canal you fish. Used to fish around there when I was a kid. Harder going then and no barbel in those days. Great video as always. Glad to see you're not being idle 🤫

[@AllroundJack]

Your videos are improving every time I watch. Quality all round angler keep em coming 😁

[@stoney332]

Some cracking fish good on ya pal

[@derekirelandsirsmokepotalo1152]

[@chriscarr9171]

Lovely session. Great to watch and I think I'm fishing too light !

[@adrianch2527]

Watching your videos from Singapore. Good stuff man. Already subscribed to your channel. Cheers!

[@Frank-vz5zf]

Great session! 💯

[@jameswood9889]

Absolute joy to watch that

[@DiggingwithDallas]

A good days finish went out today to try get some winter pike, a few jacks and one at 15.7lb last pile of the day was a huge one just got the tip of its head in the net and it spat the bait out and swam back down, I’ll put it in the early/ mid 20’s gutted. Back home now from the gym happy Christmas

[@simonandersson1167]

Rly nice video man! Keep them coming! Xoxo from Sweden

[@leeroberts2134]

What a great video very entertaining thank you mate 👍👏😀

[@MrCutters1]

Nice that’s one I need to tick off my list another is the barbel well in ❤️❤️🎣🎣

[@lexingtonlad5745]

Yet another cracking video.

[@robertcornelius8056]

Great skills

[@ACGT95448]

Hi brilliant video,I do alot of trotting for chub myself on the river Sow in Stafford in the midlands,at 18mins 54 secs in on the video you pointed out little black speckles on the chub ! I'm concerned that this may be due to disease and it might be wise to inform the authorities about this as it might be something serious,it might be black spot disease also known as fluke disease (Diplopstomiasis) or something more serious !!! We are as they say the eyes of the river and should always look out for any irregularities, tight lines

[@richnfamous59]

nice one. our local river (which is a similar size) is pretty coloured right now by algae so trotting doesn't work too well. the chub go to about 6lb but I'd prefer clearer water

[@daveaustin2069]

Enjoyed the session, as always, but can’t help feeling you should try a centre pin.

[@IrfanAnsari-ig4nf]

This River is like canal I mean to small… River in our country are huge.. 😀 Big Big fish catch with hand line… 🥰

[@BIGM-gg9ln]

great action, thanks!!

[@angelwhite376]

If you go to a horse stables and leave a 5 note on the stable door saying thanks for the worms. Go and dig under the horse manure. Loads of the red worms you want. Just stretch them out before you fish with them. I get loads before I go. Keep them in the stagment moss.. For a couple of days. They work great a red worm and a mggot.....

[@cliveeariss880]

What a terrifice session, loved this , few more days to go, thanks man for all the work you put into these videos.

[@mickibbett2120]

Brilliant! 👍

I’d have been happy with that hawk, well done Sir

[@romanmathez9259]

nice video ...🤘🏻🤘🏻🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🖤🖤

[@ivokovachev9320]

I'd love to see you catch those big chub on little silicone creature baits. If possible of course!

[@keithdainton6043]

I aways put some groundbait in with my maggots seems to keep them dryer so they don't got slimey with that horrible smell.

[@MrAnderson321]

Enjoyed that. Fair bit of weed going down that river.

[@beaumoore2470]

Great vid, waiting for wag on canal for tench 👌🏻

[@garulusglandarius6126]

Those maggots look terrible mate ( we’ve all used those )🤣😂🤣 good fishing, good video though 👍

[@hanzelman1963]

Nice vid Chris with the chub and barbel, nice fish and strong!

[@zagman51]

Great stuff, Chris. How about using a trotting centre pin reel though?

[@chrisswain9607]

Which river is this on ? Fine bit of fish

[@justluvfishinguk]

Awesome buddy..

[@FaridM.]

Very nice fish bud =) I was wondering, over here in Germany it in my club it is actually forbidden to put perch into a keepnet with other kind of fish since they have scales that harm the other fishes skin resulting in them getting infections. Just in case you didnt know and might care about it =) Keep up the good work dude!

[@kevinlawrence7541]

Great session chris.well that's debunked the "fresher the maggot the better" theory..great angling

[@timmonapier8832]

As a Kiwi ( No coarse fishing here in N.Z.) I am finding your vids absolutely fascinating! I didn't quite get why you couldn't put the barbel into the keep net though? Thanx for sharing.

[@anwah100]

It`s because the barbel put every ounce of their strength into the fight once hooked and if you then put them into a keepnet they would go belly up.

Hi buddy what reel is that your using looks nice

[@robertbeastall]

I love your style of fishing, where are you in the country?

[@felstead1982]

Great video. What river were you on?

[@cerebraltackle]

Let me get this straight - A 4000 series reel spooled entirely with 6lb line? Do you use an entire bulk spool to do that 😳 🤣?

[@shaunhaigh7535]

What river is it mate

[@Street_Living]

Bit of a noob question, but why can't barbel go in a keep net?

[@robmtnet3000]

The leading edge of the dorsal fin has a spiny ray which can easily get stuck in the mesh of a keepnet and cause damage to the dorsal. There's some real twats that have KZbin channels that think it's ok to keep fish in a landing net just to be able to take a photo of them to show off, one guy had 3 or 4 specimen perch in a tiny landing net. A landing net is not a keepnet and not of a legal size to keep more than one fish in. Some of these guys can really catch fish but are poor anglers.

[@Street_Living]

@@robmtnet3000 cheers 👍 I've never used a keep net and don't plan to but it's always good to know more about the fish

[@robmtnet3000]

Good man. I watched a weigh in at the end of a match in the early 80s and one guys fish were all floating on the surface when he emptied his net and he looked up and said is it worth it, I didn't answer him because it was obvious. I had already stopped using a keepnet by then and was just about to start Barbel fishing and never found the need to use a keepnet again.

[@paul40925]

Are you Shakespeare backed now? Nice too, if you are..

[@alexneal9534]

That's a lovely swim. Is this a club water?

[@fishypie]

i do a lot of fishing on the upper severn. im shocked to see no salmon parr like there once was

[@iantaylor8148]

I watch your videos with such envy. I've been coarse fishing for 36 years and the Kennet and Thames here in Berkshire appear devoid of decent fish. I think a huge part of the problem is the red signal crayfish explosion AND certain European's catching and removing fish. Such a shame as my 11 Yr old son is desperate to follow in my footsteps. Anybody else feel the same about certain southern rivers?

[@stephenhayesuk]

Yes.

[@telefonhoe1204]

hahahaha these maggots in the front pocket LOOOL

[@dangar8317]

Chris your channel is really good and helpful and you inspired me to go fishing again, I know you have to fund your fishing trips and youtube is a great way to make some cash, but you are spoiling the action with far to many adds mate, every 2 mins is destroying the action, all so some locations would be nice, I do subscribed because you are one of the best fishing channels on youtube, keep up the good fishing mate, more fish less adverts please :)

[@davidkennedy3714]

Barbel snag you on the far bank and chub snag you on the near bank in my experience .

[@justme19852]

Im shocked how well are the rivers stocked with fish in UK, especially watching few your videos the rivers are considered tiny more like brook. I usually fish for small trout in little rivers not for pike and all the other big fish 😮

[@TJ-ss1up]

Great video and catch. Everyone should do what works for them but drives me mad watching people play fish off the clutch like that, still pulling back and the clutch giving line. Appreciate it works and each to their own but think it removes a lot of feel/skill from playing a fish.

[@brandsthatcreatelitter1648]

can’t believe you missed the Walker’s crisp packet in the margin. All of us anglers should clean our swims, so we leave them better than we found them😔😔😔🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@PHPW]

Super angling skills. I love your informative style and range you fish for. I do however question the barbed hook choice. I fish where they are banned. I’ve noticed the difference with respect to damage of mouths. It was horrendous in the past. You are careful but barbs are barbaric in the damage they do !

[@markwatkins56]

I disagree with this. I fished one particular lake that you were only allowed to use barbless hooks. The fishes mouths were severely damaged. Without a barb on the hook the hook just slides around the mouth does a lot more damage

[@PHPW]

Almost 50 years of fishing. I agree to disagree. Best thing ever was banning barbs on a lot of waters. Particularly when you see how some people fish now. Launching the fish out of the water onto the bank etc.

[@laurenvirgin1937]

Mate I absolutely love your videos but PLEASE TIGHTEN YOUR DRAG A BIT 😂 I notice in every single video your drag is too loose. The drag shouldnt be going constantly like yours, only when the fish pulls a reasonable amount. Give them play but not to the point that the drag doesn't stop lol. Not criticising just offering some advice but I guess we all fish differently.

[@dank6299]

He was winding and lifting when the drag was running, absolutely pointless 😂
