Hey Chris - Do you already have a clan on Fishing Clash? Cast & Curious have a couple of spaces if you're interested...

[@bishbosh9680]

Hi, what's the rod a reel you use in this video? I'm Looking to upgrade

[@NathanphillipLewis]

Would love u to take me pike fishing as iv been out many times lately around my area's and blanked.. had good few tho over the years.....

[@supernoodles91]

A couple of years back, watching a rat swim into a marina while fishing, 10" away from the wall, massive splash.....no rat! Next evening I returned with my rat lure...BANG! Lovely 13lb Pike!

[@thegael1996]

Chub always surprise me at how much of a vicious predator they can be for something that looks like a Roach.

[@Kayaoffshore]

Chub have some serious teeth in their throats, but yh they are definitely a bit of a sleepy.

[@Adamgreen735]

Yeah, ive been spinning on he swale for trout many many years ago and have caught alot of chub doing that, very suprising when a 5lb chub snags onto ya little mepps spinner...

[@jamesalexander5588]

I've caught a few chub on lures.

[@Adamgreen735]

@@jamesalexander5588 they come in so easily after about 20 seconds of fight.... There just wet lettuces after that... Nowt compared to barbel... But still good on a spinner...

[@offshoretomorrow3346]

I had no idea!

[@palleryde147]

Tip: get a proper Polarized filter so that we can see through the water. Just remember to align it properly before each shoot.

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

We used to use small dace for chub back in the 1970s we used to catch a lot between the 4 to 5 pound mark . Nice job great vid 👍

[@SSHitMan]

When I was a kid in the 1970s I found an old fishing book that was probably from the 1950s and one of the pages told how to fish with a live mouse as bait. It was rigged just like your thumbnail, a rubber band around the mouse which would hold the hook. I never used a live mouse for bait but that page of the book stuck with me forever!

[@wiktor9195]

There must be easier baits to handle lol

[@JWoodcock]

Imagine rigging, let alone casting, a live wild field mouse 😂

[@markcrume]

Baby ducklings with rubber bands. Big Muskies.

[@goodnightmunchie]

​@@markcrumegolden retriever for crocodiles 🚬🤨

[@carpypete]

Great video. My missus would freak out if she found a bag of mice in the freezer! Lol. She's terrified of them. I see an article many years ago, think it was the 70's in angling times. It was Dick Walker & a mate, catching Pike on full-size brown rats!! Dead ones. They were fishing gravel pit, where Rats used to swim across to the island, for the birds eggs. They landed a few. Great channel love it. 👍

[@dazpaolucci6737]

Theres no way ginger fisherman plays that game on the phone. I just aint buying it. #TopFan

No real fishermen does 😆

Its a New game from 2014

Definitely not. 😂 it's just a sponsor

[@richardgarratt4718]

Ginger fisherman is the future for anglers world wide his videos and content are by far the most entertaining and insperaratiinal you will find... Chris deserves a channel on Netflix or sky sports etc.. 100% my hero lol

[@dougr5379]

Great video! Glad to see you able to fish and have fun. Seems like every time I go out to do anything in the U.K., the police show up and give me reason or quote me a law that says I can't do it.

[@jamesross1799]

Your bloody mental mate. I'm not surprised that it worked though. I once caught a decent pike that choked up the very dead body of a fully grown rat. Yuk!

[@neomatrix3612]

Gross, please don't tell me you ate the rat?

[@CoalCoalJames]

I don't understand why people find it strange that a predator will eat anything that fits in it's mouth. Pike especially, those mofo's will eat ducks / seagulls / small dogs / cats ect~ they just have to get big enough.

[@fishwithkammy]

Poor mouse must have terrified after watching u cast out his family for the Chubb and pike 🤣🤣🤣 great video as always 👍

[@rodneyharris3265]

11:36 😂😂😂😂😂 cool video man.

[@mattmallard7712]

Cracking upload. Despite what bait you were using, it was a nice moment in helping the little chap out, he dont know how lucky he was!. Congrats on new arrival and looking forward to new uploads.

[@Deathst4lker]

Cracking session Chris - always ahead with the though leadership 👊 Great method, great results 🎣 Thanks for sharing mate

[@craigwilliamson1452]

11:42 that decked area over the other bank looks excellent lucky homeowner

[@kjp1232]

Use matt Hancock as bait

[@tyronealaka6537]

Khan would be great

[@charlesoleary3066]

😂

[@neilperrin8466]

No.... No way.... Chris could never be so cruel to a fish to expose it to Matt Wankcock! 😂

[@brimcilroy9002]

Nah khans toxicity would kill all the fish in the river within 200yds. ​@@tyronealaka6537

[@ghettoguero2396]

Noooo you can’t use corrupt golden retrievers as bait

[@petercalthorpe7966]

G'day Chris, nice little session awesome Chub and pike. All the best form down under 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@itsmoyzehh3873]

Can’t get my head around how quickly your channel has blown up. Also the sheer amount of views in 24 hours. 143k is no joke, well done mr maroon🎣🎣

[@thekernal0318]

Man never in all my life had I ever thought of using them as bait! Can’t wait until next season now. Great video

[@keefroberts1367]

A few years back I was fishing in a well known local river which is a tributary to the river Thames, I was fishing for Chub and having a good session. Whilst fishing a Rat was keeping me amused swimming backwards and forwards across the river with pieces of bread that people had been feeding the Ducks with earlier and had landed in the reeds so the rivers flow hadn’t washed it down stream. Anyway on its way across on the poor chaps final time a huge Pike came up from underneath him and took him whole , I honestly couldn’t believe it, the flipping thing WAS massive. I have never seen that behavior before or since I might add but it truly shocked me.

[@AntonHoward-mx9sb]

I've seen that happen on the grand union in Leicester

[@ROBERTSMITH-io7tb]

I've seen pike taking adult coots, quite amusing actually last time he's diving on my bait 😂

[@Ejuicey]

I've seen rats taken, ducklings taken, and even smaller pike. A 20lb pike is an eating machine with a mouth you can fit your arm in ( don't lol )

[@JohnnysCafe_]

First I will say CONGRATULATIONS on the new baby. I was impressed the way you managed to make those mice look as though they were swimming naturally. Chub swallowing a big mouse surprised me. Most enjoyable 🎣👍

[@garyw8824]

I'm shocked he hasn't tried using the baby as bait....

[@troggmeister]

When i was a kid i used to fish that bit of river especially to the right of the train bridge nearest to town . Used to chuck casters down and fished on the surface for the chub . Never considered rats but have fished with bees on the canal !

[@JohnnyPeacock1959]

Congratulations to you and your Mrs on your new arrival.

[@CitizenErased11]

Great video as always. We just spent most of July and August on your beautiful canal in our narrowboat. We moored very close to where you caught the big chub and my missus saw a grass snake come out of the undergrowth opposite where you were fishing and swim across the canal. I saw quite a few big chub around there

[@malthus81-mk1]

First time saw this channel… like it 😁 Best greetings from the Harz/Germany

[@commenter2000-n2k]

Just an idea 💡 As you used rats as bait / politicians/ how about using chicks , they also can be purchased from a reptile shop and would fit in with the natural foods 😉

[@mikewebb7807]

That's a beautiful area. When i lived in harrogate, yorkshire there was a couple nice spots within 5-10 mins from my house. I miss home.

[@stevenkelkey3412]

Great video! Fish On!👍🎣

[@billthomas8428]

Looked alive the way it wiggled on the first shot. That opens up a whole world of hurt for someone! 😄

[@trevorcornes1056]

Something different that works 👍well done Chris

[@mervynwalsh7209]

Chris, congratulations on your new arrival. Great video once again. Looking for pike fishing advice - what is you long Reach river bank landing net ? Thank you and keep up the good work 😊 ❤ 👍

[@StusFishing]

Another awesome Video deffo get back to the Canal & River for round 2 maybe a multi species challenge Pike,Perch,Chub & Trout If you have any in the rivers near you

[@anthonystorey2953]

I have always liked surface lure fishing for pike, good video again thanks , cheers for now. Think ill have a go at making a mouse/ rat lure !

[@dawggonevidz9140]

I found with luring predatory species, my very best results come not from casting my lures into the water, but casting onto a bank, or any structure out of the water, and letting the lure fall into the water from there. Where there's overhanging tree branches, casting into the water under branches gives a similar success rate. When you think about it, you're trying to fool the fish into thinking a mouse has fallen into the water, so asking yourself "fallen from where though," and casting there is a good starting point to figure out where the fish may lie.

[@shrimpman8422]

you are 100% correct, overcast if you can and pull into the water , same for any boats/canal barges

[@lewislawson2339]

Yes! The rat videos are back. It’s what got me interested way back when

[@cr2486]

I can tell your a good man because you helped that little mouse absolutely brilliant 👍

[@rayrieder2380]

You did good young man🎣😃😊

[@benlivingston6774]

Nice! Success with the swimming rats. Fishing Clash is a good one 2

[@davidcarr2896]

I don't go fishing but loved watching this episode

[@hoihoi1473]

Love seeing you help the mouse to compensatie for his fallen brothers

[@Vince-z4w]

Hi mate watched many of your videos I wish I had a clear canal we had 40 boats go past on the north Oxford but had a 5.5lb zander😊

[@APikeAnglersChronicles]

Now I know what to do with the mice I catch during the colder months. Could be fun summer fishing next year! I¨ll probably rig the mice with two sets of hooks with a wire stinger tackle, one hook at the head and one further back on the body.

[@ToCatchAPredatoryFish]

"I swear down guys, I thought I was gonna end up with in the bag with the others, but somehow I managed to give the great gingey the slip" - that mouse when he was down at the rodent pub later that evening

[@robertmartin8400]

Found this really interesting I loved that chub you caught 👍 I had a rat lure but my gear got robbed

[@ek3929]

definitely one of my favourite or even favourite youtuber for fishing

[@tonyb6710]

Class as always👌👊

[@cesuntbanii]

geeez... the fishing game pitch... what a crazy world we live in...

[@Lukas9877]

Maybe circle hooks wood be good ? When the fish strikes at the rat undo the bail arm and let the fish eat it and then set the hook and because of the circle hook you can let the fish eat it fir longer Only a theory Nice video 🎉

[@moasicsCupra]

Congrats on the little one! 🎉

[@ryanbuckley3314]

We play "rat in a hole"in Ontario, sort of. We anchor, cast our jig up on a log, sit quiet for 3 or 5 minutes, then gently pull your jig into the water and work it back.

[@darrenwhyman4539]

I watched with the sound down, when you saved that mouse/rat I thought you were catching it for bait ! Thought “brutal” but fair play nice rescue 🤣

[@YOUNGBEHR]

I've been a keen angler for decades but didn't know Chub fed on rats & mice, obviously knew Pike would take them but really surprised to learn Chub feed on them as well.

[@Ratel777]

Woooohoho Naturally Amazing 🤩👌💪💪 Greetings From Poland ✋👊

[@switchedon6530]

Great idea, soak the bait in WD40 over night the fish looooove it. Happy fishing mate 👍🏻

[@rooftopmentality1996]

stoked to see you save that mouse

[@martindye8809]

Connect another hook with wire and hook the rear of the mouse too, never miss, you can also use elastic to secure it all for the best presentation.

[@gizmo1252000]

few fish lost there due to being an eager beaver on the striking . but still very enjoyable viewing :)

[@Guy-m9g]

More great content! Love this channel!

[@fishingbarcelona]

Back with a bang... Bonkers haha!

[@shinkano_]

Nice video! Very funny to aim for the hole ^^

[@elliotspencer8129]

I wish we had chub in Northern Ireland, seems like a fun fish to catch.

[@paulharris6886]

Chris . . . still killin’ it 👍

[@meltdownman8911]

Here in NZ (hi Chris) we have occasional mice infestations and some of the famous trout rivers churn with fish feeding on mice.

[@robsimpson6537]

Was using my friends boat that was in storage over the winter. While fishing I saw a mouse come out of the stern. I flicked it overboard with my pole. Seconds later I heard a splash and mouse was gone. The whole family came out and one by one they didn’t last 20 seconds in the water 😂

[@reggieles]

Keep up the good work Chris I love your vids❤

[@wbwills2]

New subscriber(and a like -comment…algorithm)from the Sandhills of NC (if you’re interested in golf,5 miles from #2)USA.want to learn more about what y’all fish for,where,how etc.take care.

[@markward8216]

Brilliant, you never stop amazing me with your ideas

[@brimstone260]

Great session, the missed hook ups can be expected with only a front mounted treble, and perhaps like you said Chris, leaving a fish to turn might have resulted in a few more. Interesting, you deffo need to revisit this in the future.👍

[@seanfraustus]

You're using trout anglers as bait?

[@xd_jeffy_boi5361]

Awesome comment mate made me giggle so much

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

I was about to screenshot this and send it to you 😂

[@BrooklawnRailfan]

Si lo hice .... Mi cabello resultó ser buen cebo

[@Boyson66]

About 15 years ago I was fishing the Ouse and noticed a small overflow stream. It was only about 10 inches deep. Someone had been cutting the grass and I noticed a dead Mole which I hooked on and cast into the stream. I had a pike and big chub battling it out for it each time it passed them. Eventually the pike took it weighing in at around 10 lbs.

[@Flacco-p5k]

Cheers from Kentucky!

[@keithleivers4061]

Next installment i caught a pike using A Old mouse from my computer 😂😂😂😂😮

[@cowboybowfishingoutdoors5013]

was thinking with all the missed hook sets maybe using trailer hook towards the tail as well would possibly help with more hook sets.

[@alextheangler_adventures]

the best fisherman in the uk!!

[@luke_angling]

Good session. GoPro's are great like that lol

[@filipbruylant2021]

Very nice video to watch. 😊

[@jivinmiles6352]

If you’ve got a fly rod, you may be able to find some mice/rat flies near you.

[@chefsaliva5317]

Would love to see you use large tadpoles or live frog bait on the next video. Also frozen seafood baits from Asian grocers could be interesting.

[@DeerCamPA]

Pike and musky actually crossbreed in my state of Pennsylvania and they get huge

[@0r4ng3p33l]

Thought I was already subbed I've watched loads of your videos but I'm subbed now

[@0r4ng3p33l]

Cracking video mate

[@JWoodcock]

Definitely going to try our snake's leftover tiny mice for this.

[@Adamgreen735]

I wonder if there is such a thing as a polaroid lens for cameras to have the same effect as shades, so we could see when theres a pike coming when its sunny... would be so cool to see...

[@johnmorganjr769]

Nice Pike bro !!

[@TR3BOR14]

I have played fishing clash for the last couple of years it's a good game

[@Whocares.........]

I hope you kept the pike for dinner!😊❤

[@JS-zy6pw]

Never pick up wild mice mate. You can get bitten and get serious infections. Friend nearly lost his thumb recently. 4 weeks off with sepcis too

[@jaspimo]

That's what I wanted to mention. Anything from rabies to hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. Never touch mice and never touch their poopies, use face mask when cleaning out dusty places where mice could be.

[@Fazza-nz1hx]

I REMEMBER UR FIRST VIDEO ABOUT RATS FOR DEADIES LOVED IT

[@jimdavids6708]

Would be nice to see some catch and cook vlogs, your recommended recipes ?

[@davidbeale66]

I’m trying to do pike fishing for the first time this winter do u have any baitcaster rod and reel recommendations or any lures

[@Boxersboy-um1fd]

Chris, That was an innovative video. Using the 'real thing' as opposed to replicant lures was very different - can you tell me if the mice/baby rats were frozen at all as this would make them stay on the surface longer? Lovely Chub by the way.

[@RichardB_Uk]

Hope the fish in the shed pond are doing good

[@theordinaryangler3613]

Great video as always! Can I ask what drone you use??

[@GROSVENOR-iom]

Nice videos mate, I'm from Cheshire originally but now live on the isle of man , this has inspired me to contact my friends back home in Nantwich and arrange a canal trip to fish the canals, I've just watched several videos and noticed you have the fiido titan, would you recommend it? I'm debating getting one to navigate around the island fishing 👌🎣🎣🇮🇲

[@oldmanandthesea3384]

Live traps, rubber bands and a hook. Caught some big large mouth bass here in the California Delta.

[@ThePredatorFishermen]

That’s a different kind of bait 😆, but something they haven’t seen before on a hook at least!

[@SweetWillyD]

I appreciate you using American Standard measurements for the weights 😂

[@MrNoNets]

Great content as usual top dangling

[@Maplecook]

I'm Canadian, so I've never seen a chub in my life. Looks like a carp to me.
