Chasing After The UK's HARDEST Fighting Fish

In this video, we are after one of the hardest-fighting riverfish in the UK. That's right, Barbel! Oh, and if Dani manages to catch, it will be her first ever one! But was she able to break the curse?

[@benthehunter2]

that was amazing video and it happens to all fisherman and fisherwomen during fishing season we all struggle to catch something good for a good memories of our fishing adventures and the weathers that i had in wisconsin that was crazier than in united kingdom brother and your babe is trying her best to catch something which is good and i have fights with fish every time that i can remember from my days in school and out of school. So congradulations to all three of you for catching good size fish keep going at it and you will be able to catch a monster size fish soon keep the videos up and never give up on your friends and lovers to

You should do some floatfishing for tench, really fun fishing. Good video!

[@paulshoemaker5957]

Are back leads not an option? Lower the rods a touch? I dont know just a thought

[@CalAndDani]

In this case no, as in front of the swim a few yards out were sharp rocks that would cut us off if we added a back lead.

"We've got a braai, and Josh has got rubbish". 😂 Love the fact that Dani has converted you away from BBQ. Well done Dani, representing RSA. 👏

Hi cal I’m going up the river for some barbel and I don’t know what hookbaits to buy I’m going to be ledring do you know any bait I should use for the hook?

[@CalAndDani]

Honestly, it depends on what river you are going to! We always love using Peperami which you can get from supermarkets and spam, however, spam falls off quite easily so it depends on how active you want to be :) You can also get dumbell style baits from tackle shops which will stay on for much longer.

[@liam-cp5ws]

@@CalAndDani I’m going onto the trent as I heard it’s one of the best does that change selection?

[@CalAndDani]

@@liam-cp5wsit really is, such a good river! I would say maybe just feed with spam but don’t bother having on the hook/hair if the flow is crazy as it just won’t stay on. I personally would stick with more durable baits like peperami, the spicy one 😀🥵

[@thomasdilger]

Congratulations on the barbel, I caught my first barbel last week from the same place

[@CalAndDani]

Thank you! And nice well in 🎣

[@danielmartin9352]

Boggles my mind how many miles north you travel for barbel and if it makes use feel better i moved near the park in the start of the film and i cant seem to catch a barbel there either even tho theres plenty about

Mate juat a quick question if u dont mind can you please tell if u are still work with carl

[@bumblebeeman1978]

I don’t know if you edited it out but it’s important that you rest the big barbel for at least 10 minutes awesome fish tho TIGHT LINES

[@CalAndDani]

@@bumblebeeman1978 yep it was edited out 😀 we made sure both barbel were well rested before releasing back into the river!

[@avoidoneu4061]

I don't see why you'd like to see a barble sit in a net for 10 mins, I feel like people would skip past that making his watch time per vid even lower, him cutting that out is just more convenient for all of us .

[@leftmono1016]

@@avoidoneu4061- it’s important to show it being rested. Not for 10 minutes though obviously!

@@leftmono1016 "him cutting that out is just more convenient for all of us"???

[@leftmono1016]

@@avoidoneu4061 - not for people new to barbel fishing, it’s essential information. Barbel are like pike, if they’re not rested properly they can go belly up. Most fish are fine. Barbel and pike are different 👍

I thought you're not aloud to fish that bit in newark there's a bit before that it's free to fish it says no fishing on the concrete where you was fishing

Why dont you lower the rods with some backleads?

[@CalAndDani]

There were rocks directly in front of us so we needed to keep our rod tips up sadly!
