I Captured it Live On Camera! It Almost Took My Rod! (Underwater)

I Captured it on Camera! The moment a powerful barbel took the hookbait almost pulling my rod into the river. Awesome Stuff. In this upload We take a look at the prince of the river. The barbel. Not only do we catch a few, but also take a look at their feeding habits underwater and even capture them taking the hookbait! Hope you enjoy!

Underwater shots are always brilliant - it's interesting to see how fish react to things underwater :) Hope the video popularity picks up so you can do more!

[@trevorcornes1056]

Some lovely fish Chris and great underwater coverage. The river looks beautiful too 👍

[@petercalthorpe7966]

G'day Chris, awesome underwater footage and fantastic Barble . All the best form down under 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TheEdtlaing]

Was interesting to see how quickly the barbel reacted to moving baits so quickly a real eye opener. Keep on keeping on the underwater shot were very well done 👏

[@paulellam6926]

Awesome upload mate, really enjoyed that. Love the narration, and the descriptions of tactics and reasoning behind it, really helpful, much appreciated and many thanks!

A great watch love watching these fish under water almost as much as i love catching them n would love a river like that to fish for them its absolutely stunning

[@MrAlphafang]

Thanks Chris another great video. I'm always intrigued to watch how the fish react to objects in the water. Makes me wonder if all the effort put into using discreet tackle is really essential when there are things like bottles and cans on the bottom next to the bait 😉🤷‍♂

[@johnwelbourn3811]

Great footage Chris, huge stock density in the area you were filming chub cheek to jowl with barbel. Just goes to show how important water craft and local knowledge is.

[@highfive5914]

Hey Chris, have you tried fishing for seatrout in the rivers? I have been watching your vids for quite some time now, but didn't see that topic yet. Also, I'm not familiar with your local fishing regulations regarding seatrout and don't know if you have access to any rivers that fall in the sea 😅 Anyways, maybe check it out sometime, I think you'd like it

This is what every fisherman dreams of… the actual feeding movements! Brilliant mate and let’s not forget all of the other underwater and drone pike hits!!! Total magic … just gets better and better… legend… thankyou 🙏

Well said, mate - I came here to say this too. Top quality every time - thanks Chris 👊

Great to see you barbel fishing , wish I had a bice little river with them in near me .

[@RicardoReview]

Nice one!

[@PewYota]

Just moved to Cambridge from the US, would love to get out and fish this beautiful land.

[@BostinAngling]

I think this proves a theory I've held for awhile and that is barbel feed is shoals for the most part. Every time i have had a barbel, I have had one either take the rod i have reset, or my 2nd rod pretty soon afterwards. Keep creating the great content, wish I could do same.

[@JacobKasperek]

Beautiful catch both on the rod and the camera Chris! Could you share what's the diameter/strength of the line and leader you use for such feeder fishing? Cheers!

[@user-mw8tl6yy4h]

Love watching your videos, can you tell me what you use for underwater filming and how long is the extension handle for you camera.

[@rachelstringer4639]

I need to get out on the river for the barble soon tight lines

[@pauleyles554]

What a great video. This is my kind of fishing. Without naming stretches what are these small rivers you fish? Im in lincolnshire and only really fish the trent.

[@fishypie]

all the rivers you fish look so clean and lots of fish, i fish the middle and upper severn and it is in such a state. brown alge no weed growth and i think there is no way back for the poor river. the water comanys use it as a tolet

I'd never have thought they'd be such big fish in a small stream like that.

Great footage gin clear water your gf is certainly a good luck charm for you. The humble garden worm what fish can resist the brown wriggler ! 😅😊

[@fr0sty_nugz]

Idea : make an underwater video of the carp at the forgotten pond. Ide watch it ten times over

[@davbat1]

What Polaroids do you use please, great videos by the way…

[@grahamsibbert2412]

Hello. Further to my past questions and your answer. Do you fish in the Milton Keynes area. I tried to Dropshot in the canal at Simpson/Peartree Bridge areas but blanked every time. Can you advise areas to try. I’m told that the huge distance between locks at The Red Lion Fenny, up to Cosgrove is the cause for difficult fishing as fish can travel the 14 miles or so.

[@josephscott4997]

Welcome to the hour club my friends

[@Huge-Cox]

absolutely hot fisherman

[@thelazyman15]

Have you got a tackle shop?

[@matt01506]

Small rivers used to be all about trout, roach. Perch ect but they are consistently producing big fish nowadays. I really don't know how I feel about this. One hand it's exciting as it allows you to fish lighter but on the other it takes some of the tranquility away that you only get with small waters . Nice session though. (Is it me or did the barbel seem really "long")

[@alanwayte432]

Big fish have always been in these canals rivers ...technology has changed

[@Aaron-pu9gg]

My river only has trout to about 12 inches

I caught my one and only Barbel on Pepperami 🌶️🐟😊

[@grahamsibbert2412]

Hello. What river do you fish ? I’m in Milton Keynes and the only river fish able is the Gt Ouse. It’s a deep river and me not being an experienced fisherman I have only caught Perch, Roach or Dave. Near me is a small river that used to be smashing, the Ouzel. It runs right through MK and you can count on one hand any fishable sections. Have you ever fished the Ouzel.

[@TR3VSK1]

Fished the ouzel for years..... some outstanding chub and perch ..... if could only fish 1 river for the rest of my days it'd be the ouzel..... get some waders and push through the stingers ...... fish the lob and be as stealth as possible....

[@grahamsibbert2412]

@@TR3VSK1 Hello and thanks for the reply, I really didn’t think I would get a reply. You have inspired me for the Ouzel, like I said, I’m not experienced at all, I use a rod meant for drop shooting because I can’t find a spot on the Ouzel where I can use a longer rod ( I have an old 13’ rod and the reel securing rings are so knackered I hold the reel on with cable ties. I own some waders and last year tried the section through Water Hall Park up to Manor Fields. I’m obviously doing it wrong though so appreciate more tips, especially where you think the better spots are. Oh and I’m 77 so clambering around river banks can be a bit challenging.

[@grahamsibbert2412]

Hello Chris. Promise this is my last on this subject. Because of your comments I have just researched the river Ouzel from its source. It looks like the river you love is before MK. Have you any ideas as to what clubs I need to approach before I try to find a better fishing spot. I’m in the MKAA that’s all. Like you I cycle on my electric bike (6 years old and cost £650 new) so the car will be needed anywhere south of Fenny Stratford.

[@adamhousden6349]

This river is like my local one from about 25 years ago, nowwe have the dreaded signal plague and to cap it off some moron decided to put otters on it even though there had neverbeen otters here at anytime in its history, we had mink buttheydont cause as much damage as otters.....the otters climb to raid nests....we no longer have barbel, zander, nice big chub, eels, decent bream, wild old river carp, brown trout, rudd, but could go on with the losses.
