Catching The River Pigs! Barbel and Chub

Well as you can tell this video was filmed towards the back end of october before the winter cold hit us. Chasing the pigs of the river the barbel and chub. It was my last barbel and chub session on 2020 and great fun it was for just a couple hours down the local river / creek. I hadnt uploaded to video sooner due to the footage being filmed in the wrong settings, but its not as bad as i'd thought. Hope you enjoy!

For the best viewing watch the video in 720 by 60p The reason i didn't upload this video sooner is the fact that the camera setting were all wrong when filming, but changing the viewing quality fixes the imperfections. Hope you enjoy and im looking forward to getting out and doing some more barbel and chub fishing. Well when the weather warms up and IT STOPS BLOODY RAINING!

Great Video als always. I always enjoy watchin because you seem so calm and happy.

[@AutodidactEngineer]

Barbels hit like tanks! A couple years ago I had hooked a 15cm long barbel on a cheap 2m telescoping fiberglass rod and it snapped the top section of the rod like it wasn't even there! Absolutely beatiful fish! Greetings from Kosova🖐.

Catching fish is in your DNA.. Wonderful! 🐟

[@UKFishCam]

Not many barbel rivers locally so great to see you catch them!

[@martinsylvester1823]

Good video thanks for putting it out, just shows you don't need all the fancy expensive tackle to go fishing, thought that reel did very well. You have a good skill set which I hope youngsters take note of how to play fish and not panic.

[@jaydogarmy]

Been trying to get a decent video together this winter. Really inspired by watching yourself and a few others so started my own fishing channel. First year targeting pike and its been a real struggle to get any decent footage let alone actually catch fish. If its not lockdown causing an issue its the rain/ floods. Looking forward to being able to travel further to the better venues with good weather! 🤞 Awesome content mate 👏 really enjoy watching your videos!

[@robshaw3655]

Great vid. having watched underwater footage of barbel feeding over beds of hemp or pellet it doesnt seem that they are too fussy about any specific flavoured pellet. anyone any views about the use of pellets boilies not being good for fish in terms of whats in them and how long they take to break down.?

[@sheppeyfishtales]

Never caught a Barbel. No waters locally that hold them. Great to see them!

[@needham831]

Great video as usual Chris. Just a thought but a swan shot link leger might work too on Autumn days with low,clear water like that..

Just removed the led and let the pellet roll with the flow. Sometimes add a little weight like split shot to help it drag along the bottom a little better

Beautiful barbels. Well done! I have a question and if someone could answer me it would be very nice. Why are barbels hardly ever fly-fished? I know it is more than an institution to catch him with pellets or meat in England but it's a great fighter with a fly rod. If a fly fisherman has an opinion on this it's nice to share it. Thank you! ;)

I’d say it’s because they’re bottom feeders

hi enjoy your vids but i do think 6lb hooklink a little light for barbel even chub at times

That's another Barbel with a hook stuck in its mouth!!!! That's what happens when u fish snaggy rivers for Barbel using 6lb line!!!!!!! As soon as u said u were using 6lb line I thought "that's light". And I was proved correct more than once. Please learn from that fella....

Are Barbel a native fish in the UK?

Yeh mate, but I think tons of rivers are stocked with em

[@Lunatix246]

I live in area that has 3 rivers, a canal and 3-4 ponds, but I'd absolutely love to be able to fish a small sized river like this that holds a wide variety of fish. The 2 smaller rivers where I live are rammed with just trout and grayling, the bigger river, the Ure is OK, but finding the fish seems to be becoming more of a nightmare as time goes on for some reason.

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

You'll have to get on the UL lures for those trout I bet that's great fun. And my local river is gradually dying. Fish stocks are getting less and less every year it's sad to see as it used to be so prolific at one time

Barbel are thought to be a species of riverine carp/grass carp,very powerful swimmers.up to 20lb+.any barbel over 10lb is considered to be a specimen fish.

@@The_ginger_fisherman thats all well and good and im not disputing that you can land fish on that tackle but to fish for something that is notorious for exhuasting itself i think its unfair to fish so light, you are stressing the fish so much more and massively increasing the chance of leaving a hook in a fish, all for an extra bite or 2, theres nothing wrong with 10 or 12 lb hooklinks wich are far safer
