I Fished Under The City and Caught a Fish of a Lifetime! (PB)

This video I decided to target some wild city trout! I started off the session in the countryside searching for a few bites knowing the smaller fish would be easier to catch there. The idea was to get a few smaller "easier to catch" fish from there before moving on to the urban concrete jungle in search of a big rat munching trout in an area where the river runs under the city! See how I got on!

Fish of a lifetime in this country, well done buddy

[@tez4274]

Such a shame seeing all that rubbish and stuff in the river. what is wrong with people. Would never have thought such a magnificent specimen would have thrived in such an environment. Brilliant video, Chris.

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

I know mate. Its somewhere I don't usually like fishing because its such a sh*t hole, but can't deny it holds some beasty trout

[@PG_FISHING]

This defies everything i know about trout fishing, i would never have thought you would catch a trout that big in somewhere like that. What a fish! Well done Chris!

[@MrKveite1]

I would say thats exactly where you would catch a trout like that and you said why yourself.... I dont think many people are fishing there so the trout are allowed to grow big and beefy just like that one.

[@PG_FISHING]

@@MrKveite1 i was more thinking about how little a flow, and how shallow it is. But yea for sure nobody fishing somewhere like that.

[@MrKveite1]

Yes but trout live shallow and low flow in the wild too, it's a super adaptive specie:)@@PG_FISHING

[@markboyd6694]

@@MrKveite1 there's always an expert somewhere

[@MrKveite1]

well i live in Norway where brownies is the regular specie the entire country and mostly wild even if some hatchery fish are released because of electric dams etc and i have an average of 150-200 days fishing the last 50 years so even if i dont call myself an expert i dont exactly call myself clueless either....But i guess you fish way more and have a lot more knowledge so i bow to you in shock and awe.... @@markboyd6694

Petition to add that trout into the tattoo design! Absolute gobsmacker, cracking bit of angling

[@charlesneilson1518]

I’ve captured a few large wild browns in my time on small waters like this, but this one was off the chart. The build up to the hooking and the fight in this vid was incredible. I absolutely love your channel ❤

[@ForstHeld]

100% agree!

[@magsman448]

Gotta say.... Out of all your videos this is my personal favourite. That trout is absolutely stunning! Theirs so many epic fishing videos out there but for me this one has that little extra bit of magic!

[@chrishockley3990]

Never a bad upload! Always top quality in every way. The scenery, the music, the commentary and of course the fishing

[@indiana146]

Nice tattoo my daughter has a kraken tattooed right down her back

[@JohnLyle]

i love it when the 'big fish music' plays!

[@yep.fishing]

Well done man! Must of had your heart racing. 5.93 pounds, gotta love tue ol imperial metric mix

[@chriswarby1001]

I was on the edge of my seat holding my breath during that battle amazing angling Chris 🎣👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@TheWobblyFace]

Well done Chris, the tail on that fish and it's overall condition, superb. 🎣

[@yilmazuncu1]

Hello from Marmaris Türkiye .This is my king of fishing . i like to catch oversized fish in an unexpected place. What a beautiful trout , great video.

[@rogersmith8339]

Love the kingfisher footage!

[@tiltrex6564]

this man never fails to make my day better by using his skills to catch giants. always amazes me

[@PoetofHateSpeech]

I'm in Australia mate and love your lure fishing. I'm not only a fishermen but also keep large Australian predator fish as pets...teaches you alot. Seeing trout being caught is amazing to me

[@magsman448]

Now that is impressive! With Catch and release as standard the only example to be setting... Fishing at its finest a true ambassador for the sport. Well done mate...

[@simonclough9781]

Agreed, catch and release is the only way for wild browns. We have to preserve the native stocks at all costs. That said, you would be unwise to take a fish from this environment for consumption, probably full of heavy metals and such like! I fish for the table in fisheries that stock rainbows but I never take a brown, it's my unwritten rule.

[@rustbeltwilds837]

Fantastic trout. .... I love catching big browns in the most urban. Non looking trout environments... something special about a big bruising brown from those places❤!!!!!!

[@IAmTheOnlyMrDaryl]

That fight was an emotional rollercoaster

[@djjudgev]

Fantastic Video and PB. Well Done Chris

[@robertstanger258]

[@seanrampton9098]

Absolutely wicked mate, what a beauty!!

[@smokin1974]

Dude that was an absolute unit of a Trout...must have been such a buzz to finally land it with all that cover and snags it had you through. Fish of a lifetime get in!!

[@Quizical1000]

You get some of the most cinematic shots of any fisherman on youtube, love it mate keep doing what you're doing

[@karlwright1961]

Brilliant contribution, one of the best fishing videos I've seen.....congratulations!

[@jerryattheolympics1428]

what a fish! well done Chris

[@garrymcgauran4978]

Been missing your trout videos. Worth the wait. What a tank of a fish.

[@elsaarmstrong-zp6ng]

It’s probably a cannibal fish ! Once they are that size a fly or maggot cannot satisfy their hunger! My grandfather once caught one like that with a smaller trout half devoured down its throat! Well done ! Fraser

[@nigelgautry2291]

A beast! Well done!

[@RosscoBassist420]

Wild urban Brown Trout, it was in fantastic condition well done fella, 🎣👌🏽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@MindCatcherFishing]

That brown trout was an absolute beast of fish, At my local pond there's a beck that runs along the side of it and some idiot has been catching them and putting them in the lake, I don't know if they realise this is not good for the trout as they are river fish, So when I have caught them I have put them back in the beck,Biggest has only been up to 2lb but there an awesome fighting fish for the size.

[@philwashington4127]

Beautifully filmed and VERY exciting to watch. Well done Chris

[@TheFlyrodder68]

Absolutely awesome! Congratulation! Excellent footage, too! Thumbs up!

[@davemellor4697]

What a fish Chris....just fantastic footage!

[@LG_Fishing]

What a fantastic fish. Looked a cracking session working your way up that river.

[@marcelwhity5105]

What a Trout... ❤ congratulations

[@bobfor4868]

Feeeeeerk me that's a whopper. Good work Mr G.

[@arden6665]

As a young teen I absolutely loved fishing and spent hours/days/nights living and breeding fishing. Mum would bring my tea to the lake for me when I wouldn't come home. I did a lot more night fishing than anything and always target tench. I was not rich so I only had the basics, I didn't even use a touch and would use the moon for hooking baits and stuff. I am in my 40s now and just wish I could get back into it but I just can't find a way back in to the sport. I love these videos and I reckon you would easily get a TV series of some sort. Congrats on the pb and I look forward to more content 👍. Tattoo is going to look great when it's done mate

[@Quizical1000]

That trout was crazy

[@stephenhourd4653]

Love the shots of the Kingfishers and other wild life! Nice work again!

[@petew7856]

Wow. Chris that is one of the best catches I have ever seen or heard of.

[@oliver-st5to]

Nice fish Chris !!!! Massive fan

[@mcwharam]

Amazing catch, amazing fish thanks for sharing it.

[@lcdoc1510]

I've only just discovered your channel as I'm starting fishing as a beginner. Even though I've never fished before even I was holding my breath when you were trying to land that huge trout. Great channel, great content 👏

[@placidpaddler]

I am just in awe of this accomplishment. Fantastic!

[@ianmaddams9577]

That definitely been munching a few kebab’s. What a cracking fish mate . Congratulations 🎉

[@johnkidd797]

Superb trout pal, ive had a Brownie over 6lb out of loch Ness and some fairly big ones of other lochs but to get one in that stretch of water was unreal. Great job actually landing it.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@user-hc1vy3ds4f]

Hi there, great catch,some people are commenting on the rubbish and how neglected that stretch of river is but that’s probably why fish of this size are there because nobody fishes there much and there is minimal disturbance however it is a shame that people feel fit to chuck rubbish into the river anyway well done Chris 👍

[@quatermassconstruct]

WOW!!! Absolutely brilliant Chris! I was on the edge of my seat there!! One of your best vids to date…really excellent; I wanna go fishing right now!! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥🔥

[@dtiebel9794]

That last fight with the 6 pounder had my heart racing through the screen 😂

[@iany8230]
