Big Perch Small River! These Hard Baits Got Crushed!

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Did you notice the "pike" jumping out the water was actually a barbel taking flight being attacked by a pike? Pretty cool. I caught soo many fish this session too many to even put in the video! Hope you enjoy!

[@DB-lh3qp]

You are an excellent fisherman.

[@andrewkane4810]

Mustve been a nice pike

[@tomfrommicrosoft2683]

Wow! pretty rare to catch that on film! nice vid again chris 👍

Liking the fact of you explaining retrieve etc, lot of youtubers don't, really helps!!!

[@ruukey281]

I always love going once in a year to the small rivers around my hometown and catch those perchs, always nice sensations

[@mickhardstaff6605]

Fantastic Chris, you never ever disappoint, what a dedicated fisherman you are, thank you for sharing this with me .

[@blairlamond3266]

Calm down bud

[@amandacabe8209]

​@@blairlamond3266I've caught a couple yellow perch back in April with beetle spin

[@mandrake2009]

Thank you, Chris. It really got me back to lure fishing after 30years.

[@English_Speaking_Fox]

I’m loving your videos man. I grew up fishing for pike and perch in small rivers in south-east England in the 70s and 80s. I was off on my bike after school and all weekend and it was happy times. I left England 32 years ago and have missed Pike fishing ever since. No pike here! Trout fishing has never had the same appeal for me. Tragically when I visited the UK 3 years ago I went back to some of those rivers with my sons and found them horribly silted up and destroyed by housing developments. Heart breaking… Enjoy your fishing and keep up the great work with the informative and hands-on videos. Cheers.

[@angelwhite376]

Yea the council destroy our in lands for housing. Living by the sea would be better housing..

[@bufon63]

TGF is a master angler, so versatile and knowledgeable. If I could go fishing with anyone, it would be him.

[@baldvale5418]

If i could picture a perfect Perch session then it would be the one you just had.

[@angelambriersbriers5026]

You really enjoy what you are doing .Your smile says it all.

[@petercalthorpe7966]

Great video again Chris , plenty of action and awesome Perch. Your camera caught the water boiling perfectly, that fish was lucky to escape. Perfect litte pike . Take care mate all the best from Downunder 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@richardbarrett4104]

I simply cannot believe the fish you're catching from such skinny water. Water I would have passed by, its open my eyes, really has. Well done mate.

brilliant always great how you show the rods reels and tackle and how to catch great uploads.

Great video and nice to see the bit about using the crank bait.

It always amazes me how big these fish are in this small canal 😯

That’s me decided then for tomorrow, small river and small cranks for perch 😀 Great vid as usual 👍

[@kennyman9065]

An amazing session!!! And loving the tips on retrieving too!👍🏻👍🏻😎 can’t wait for the next one 🎣🎣

[@adhdlama2403]

What an amazing experience it must be getting perch in such clear water. To die for!

[@Peterisheree]

Here in the Northeast US, we catch a lot of big perch while fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass. It's rare to fish a river with trout sized raps and catch perch around here. Anyways, awesome video! Love seeing different fishing from around the world.

[@heloca9084]

They were gorgeous looking Perch! Great video!

[@rapsy1699]

It's hard to beat a big old sergeant! They are some cracking fish. Well done!

[@garylinden220]

Hi Chris I watch you most times 😁

[@dragchute1]

Wonderful video .. thank you for the tips, entertainment and the releases. A thought .. treble hooks (even small ones) and deep hook sets on active fish can do significant damage. I've been crimping the barbs and even snipping off one of the hooks on each treble. I've certainly lost a few due to the configuration but hook removals are infinitely easier. Thanks again, cheers.

[@philsmith214]

I reckon you are gonna be the next matt hayes pal , won't be long before the telly is calling, we need a new fishing guru on the box good luck with the success 👍

[@tobyarnold2265]

Stumbled across some of your videos a week or two back and ended up watching loads. This is another great video Chris, been waiting for this all week.

[@kitlatham6181]

Some lovely catches. Great video. Thanks for the entertainment

[@karlwatkins2331]

Absolute cracking session again chris can't wait for the next one🎣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👊

[@windinseinemhaar6630]

Very nice! Just the more, because Your stream is very similar to our one here in northern Germany. Pebbles, gravel and sand. Thing is, that our stream has loads of sand cause of the farming, mostly of maize for bio gas (govermental financed) and so possible gravel beds for spawning of barbel, trout etc. are rarely found, unfortunately. I´m a bit envy for Your gin clear, gravely stream... Excuse my faulty english, please!

[@gabifishing642]

Well done champion..I just enjoy watching you.

[@bltoth1955]

[@huntermcdermott3823]

Loving the content. I've always dreamt of fishing in the uk

[@silverakantor]

I tell ya, at times this makes me wish I lived in Europe where large pike and perch can just be found in small streams.

[@boxtrout]

Your channel is awesome dude!

[@dahutful]

Over here in the States, perch are considered excellent eating.

[@SkiSummer]

They're also quite a bit bigger, anything below 2lb is pretty challenging to debone.

[@kevincurrington1331]

Well done 👏 Chris loved the clip with the barbell

[@miguelprogamer9777]

I love your videos man, I've been learning a lot from them, thank you.

[@davebradshaw2537]

I've been watching your channel for a while now. You certainly have some beautiful waters around your neck of the woods, plenty of good healthy fish. I'm down in Cornwall where coarse fishing is very different, all our rivers are salmon and trout waters, you have to have a salmon license and all the banks are owned so it's difficult to find places to fish without paying through the nose for the privilege. Keep up the good work.

[@tonycamplin8607]

It's the same here all those waters would be owned by syndicates and it's impossible to get permission to fish them.

[@TheBudgie29]

This is the very reason why You should take a Keepnet to the forgotten Pond. Lovely 2lb Perch to make the day.

[@shaushaurayray]

Holy crappp that perch is giant

[@andrewpearson252]

A pleasure to watch Chris. Awesome video this one. Best wishes

[@Vissenbijdewaterkant]

[@dalerash6285]

You threw back one of the best eating fish out there, yellow perch are in the walleye family !

[@andyh9030]

Quality as always mate 👏

[@leo.soininen]

Another small hard bait that works great for perch is a very unknown Finnish brand called Hali and the model is called “Tumppi”, if you can find this for a few euros (found one for 2 euro) and has worked great for me, fished it for 3 days and got 4 eater sized (500 grams+ (would be >1lb))

[@mac148]

nobody eats perch in the UK dont know why nice white flesh tasty the French love them

[@tonycamplin8607]

​@mac148 I agree perch are a really fantastic eating fish. Back in the 1950s we fished for the table, things were much harder back then. Eels and perch were the favoued target species.

[@robertbabbs9694]

Great video Chris some really nice perch at to laugh at the pike that jumped into your net.

Never seen perch this big... never knew they got that big.. Commenting from upstate new york

[@needham831]

Great video Chris!☺ Those Perch you caught reminded me of the fish I used to catch on my local small river here in Leicestershire, when I was younger. Autumn is always a good time for chasing the better Perch and those bigger specimens didn't disappoint, but they were all such pristine and well marked fish...no matter what size. Fantastic colours. Get in another sesh like this mate, before the first chill of Winter really hits. I reckon there might be a 3 plus pounder out there with your name on it.☺ Tight lines.🎣👍

[@kumadude1]

Down in Australia, red fin/ English perch are a pest, so I send them back with a kink in neck. This feeds the native turtles, yabbies and water rats. But good size ones I take home for a feed, I consider them freshwater whiting, the saltwater whiting is an exceptional tasting species.

[@alanalzee4849]

The waters moving through a bit faster now but still gin clear, always a good watch with impressive amount of catches 🎣, keep up the great videos and thanks again

Thanks buddy

Cracking session, you make it look so easy lol.......

[@marneybanana1985]

Mate you need to come fish for perch here in Aust, ours start at 2lbs, my P.B is 1.89kgs...yes KILOS!! My mates is 2.1kgs..so well over 3lbs yeah. And pple call em rubbish redfin and toss em!!

[@leegarside]

Great video Chris, really enjoyed it! 👍

I used to do quite well with the old Ondex spoons with the red wool tag over the treble, too many jack and chub of course , but the bigger perch like ‘em !

[@youngfishy9932]

Woooow great catch!

[@leefox3834]

Beautiful perch

[@yonmons]

Lovely Perch, as kids we used to fish for them on Mill lodges around Lancashire, ( I’m 67 and all our rivers were sadly polluted. ) we also used to catch what we called a “ Stone Perch” it was a Perch but it was sort of silvery rainbow colours obviously some some sort of hybrid, I’ve googled it but can’t find any reference to it. Then the whole country got hit by Perch disease and catching one was a rare event for years, I must have been in my teens then.

[@mattheweade3810]

Could your stone perch have been ruffe?

[@kanny5175]

Nice fish ,nice video, nice vibe 👍

[@bildad1234]

Cracking video mate. In Australia we call them Redfin ( reddies) we get them in lakes in prolific numbers. They would have to be the best eating freshwater fish.

I’d like your advice on how you choose a spot for perch, and how you angle your casts etc to make sure you cover the water and increase chances for success. Would help a novice fisherman like me!

[@Gigantor69]

I love Perch

[@beatglauser9444]

That is typical for perch: Once they are in feeding mood they attack the baits like crazy. And it is always the smaller ones that are faster. It is nearly impossible to catch the biggest ones. Maybe they got so big because they are a little bit more careful than the others. And I am always surprised how the small ones attack baits that are nearly their size. I had cases when I had to kill small perch as they swallowed the giant baits so terribly they had no surviving chance. Once someone told me about a small very dark side pool that did not have connection to the river for many years. There were very big perch that seemed half starved. They atacked the baits extremely hard and I could release them in the river.

[@cns180784]

Beautiful Perch there 👍

[@CombatVault]

I didn't even know perch could get as big as the 2lbs you caught. I get a ton but they're all fairly small or medium size.

[@honeyholehuntersfishing]

Nice perch! Love catching them on crankbaits.. I catch them on worms too but they always seem to swallow it

You wont get as many bites using a trace puts them off
