Dried up Ditch FULL of Baby CARP! I Rescued Them!

Oy mate you are definitely a real dedicated fisherman, probably one of a kind actually! Not many people would do what you're doing there, absolute hero. Love your vids! 😊

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Thanks buddy!

This is what real anglers do, absolutely brilliant 👍

You've put more stock in that river this month than the EA probably have in 20 years.

[@gordongarnett4708]

Best comment! 😂

[@daldal616]

EA are jokers!

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

I don't believe the EA have ever stocked it. They have helped reduce fish number over the last 10 years though 😂

[@supernoodles91]

That tiny Mirror Carp, absolutely beautiful! Amazing job you've done in saving so many fish!

This segment has been superb. Thank you so much for the care you have shown the fish and the people who watch you. You should be on TV. Your presentation level is far better than 99% of YTubers.

I'd love to see you set up an aquarium or two and raise some of these small fish for a year or so. A weekly fish feeding would be of interest to many if you could get another small Pike... also anxious to see the progress in the new pond!

Brilliant well done ! And I love the way you say “in me bucket”

[@japautosalon]

brilliant work sir. If only more fishermen were like yourself . Bravo.

[@beatglauser9444]

I did this kind of fish rescue many times. Once i even had a pool that had been cut of the river after a heavy floo receeded. Ther were even a hand full of small greylings and trout and perch among other species. I bet the second pool was nearly fish free as most fish had died by lack of oxigen and sometimes there are even poisonous algaes growing: I remember when an aquarium full of carp babies that my brother had used for a school study collapsed and all carps died in less than an hour. They would even die after transferring them into chrystal clear water. I remember how my little brother was crying seeing what happened to his fish. You have quite an advantage having a giant net and the fact that your boots do not sink in two feet in the mud with every step!

[@kennyscouse3388]

I would say you’re probably correct in your identification of those Carp (from an angler with 60+yrs of experience). Almost certainly the bigger ones are Crucians (another giveaway with the humped back are the red/orange fins). Of course there’s no mistaking the Mirror Carp, & the shape of the others suggests Common Carp. Fantastic that you’re doing your bit towards conservation of the fish & giving them a chance in life. Well done👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎣

[@andrewtaylor7377]

Ah nice, I love a garden pond video, especially with native fish. 🎉

Wow feeding from hand fantastic viewing. You have saved hundreds of fish well in. Thanks for sharing..

[@stevebrittain4365]

I don't think I have ever seen a better example of the effect that environmental damage is causing our water systems. The incredible difference between the two water areas shows just how important it is for our waterways, lakes etc to be kept free of pollution. If cats and dogs were being affected in the same way our fish are there would be a bloody riot.

[@robertmeadows7508]

Love the water stick insect ! I've only ever seen one in my 70+ years !

[@dandysamek]

Hi, I came across you while looking for barbel videos. I've been following you ever since. You have great videos! In my country, the Czech Republic, there are protections because population of crucian carp is very low... The organization is trying to restore their population. Beautiful fish!

[@nolanpeter2748]

Great job going back and rescuing those fish.

[@cliffdixon6422]

Your identification looks spot on to me. If the dorsal fin is convex then you can be confident that the larger fish are Crucians, colouration looks right

[@Benplayz64]

We made the right ginger fisherman famous 😊😊😊😊

[@Berniegraph]

Well done on the rescue mission - great work. Yes, the larger ones definitely look like Crucians to me. A mystery where they came from. Assume the Commons and Mirrors were from a flooded fishery? With the river flooding, would you expect more other coarse fish like Roach or Bream to have been washed in?

[@gavincorbett1272]

Mate your content is awesome I can't wait to see that project and see them grow...I'm sure KZbin is a great platform but I personally think you should be on the TV...I'd happily watch hours of your stuff...fantastic work 👍

Think the ID is spot on, as for moving the fish you have definitely saved them some of the mirror carp are going to be beautiful I’ve got 2 in my pond at home in Lincoln hopefully I’ll add some more next year.

[@anthonydixon4470]

Respect for saving those fish.

[@phy7dop]

Nice. I wonder if the mirrors had spawned in the puddle. The few lakes I know where the carp manage to spawn successfully (in the UK where I fish) are all shallow. I think they need the shallow water for it to get warm enough. The suspected cruicians however are too big to be this years fry, so I guess they must have got in there some other way.

[@fabiantimmins2224]

Amazing getting to see such little versions of my favourite fish species. I think the one you thought was a crucian may have been an F1 Hybrid but very difficult to be sure at that age

[@scottandrewjohnmiddleton8676]

Brilliant video chris be great to see how well they go in their new home

[@peterwetton2655]

Could be crucians, could be Rudd, bream but more than likely crucian carp. Love the little mirrors they are cool.

I am sure i am not alone when i say this but i really enjoy these rescue missions , keep up the good work

[@rogerjohnson8540]

Hi Chris, I think you’re right with identifying the crucians , but generally biggest clues, in the field, are lack of barbules and a convex dorsal fin, but I think I’m right in saying the only definitive test for a true cru is a DNA sample, otherwise brown goldfish or hybrids are always a possibility. Keep up the good work and Tight Lines.

[@misdit]

Great job! That weed was infested with insect life too. Outwardly a perfectly heathy body of water. I did wonder if, in the rather stagnant pool, the fish were able to outrun you with your net, rather than in the weedy pool where they probably darted into the weed on your approach? Sticklebacks need love too y'know. The rivers near me that were full of them 50 years ago are lifeless now. Well done!

[@nicke6394]

Great video. I’d suggest when the river flooded one area got a bit of oxygenator weed flushed into it, the other area not just a high dose of hit rates from the field. Hence one supported so many carp and small fish

[@user-xw7lr4zg8t]

Top video and fair play looking after these carp 👊

[@jifvrrh]

Crucians would be okay in the river. What is interesting is that baby mirrors. I live in Poland, where it gets much warmer than in UK and people say commons and mirrors cannot breed here because it's too cold. I think this video is a proof they can breed even in colder water!

[@Berniegraph]

Yes, carp have been breeding in the UK for hundreds of years. And of course it's warmer now than in the Middle Ages!

Well done, I cant believe someone can take time to do this, your a hero. As the bigger ones become bigger you will be able to tell. All I think is that the front of the mouths are not bull nosed enough to be crusians, they look more like F1s to me, but were all guessing.

Crusians can live in basically a pool of 2ft deep ! Or a ditch , I'd reckon they have been there or near for a while, certainly not from the river ,, mabe worth a look on Google maps to see if a pond and ditch are nearby! Great video certainly worth saving.
