Hello Jon, Congratulations 👍 Daniel (from France)

[@krisvandeneynde4279]

Amazing !!! Well done Jon 🥇🥇🥇

[@sarahpage5842]

Nice match they weren't fish they were monsters love watching your vidioes

[@EddiePedalo]

Nice one. That's why I always wear polarised glasses, even on commercials. Something I learnt from game fishing lads. I believe it gives me an edge to be able to see more of what's going on under the surface. they cut out surface glare, and protect my eyes from the sun, and flying hooks from my wonky casting. The sight of a bit of tail, or a patch of muddy water often leads to bonus fish.

[@The1vanillaman]

some amazing lumps there Jon, awesome catch,another stunning quality video, many thanks.....mike

[@christophernoble3581]

Awesome days fishing John proves that in the winter the weird can happen. How on earth you got that 20lb on your net is beyond me..great detail as ever. Good luck on your next adventure 🤞

[@PatMo1888]

Epic doesn't even come close! Well done!

[@JonArthur]

Cheers Pat! :-)

[@kennyscouse3388]

[@JonArthur]

Thanks 👍

[@martinshaw6907]

well done Jon bloody hell you playing that big fish on the pole had me on edge I am just waiting on spine operation made me so on edge had to take more pain killers an when you finally got it in I jump for joy I Remember some year ago fishing at will Raison waters in Aldershot, Hampshire on a match and hooked the same close in on pole float but using waggler rod i was so elated i nearly fell in keep the vidoes going as at this moment it lifts my spirits for getting back out there owe did the mobile phone work your friend caught hahaha

[@nickswift8934]

Well done Jon…you killed it 👍

[@SvWagner19751]

what a day !!! Congratulations on your success. Very nice video as always from you Thank you for that

[@michaelabbott6271]

Congratulations Jon on a cracking match win opening the match with a cracking 20Ib 4 oz mirror, all the fish you caught I would say were 10Ib or more apiece apart from the couple of small perch.It was awesome the all in was called then you saw the 3 carp in the margins you put a shallow rig in and the beast nailed your bait, an epic scrap then trying to get it in your landing net, top angling Jon nice one 👍

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

so glad you landed that whale mate brilliantly done on light tackle, and lovely looking venue 👏👍 thank you good video as well

[@JonArthur]

Cheers James

[@baldnutbaz]

The fishing gods were definitely on your side that day Jon well done

[@Deadhorseflogger]

Superb, what a day! Makes it worth sitting in the rain….

[@lukemills8653]

I had no idea how many levels to fishing there is. Great skills, thoroughly enjoyed watching that. Well done 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@pedrobandino5391]

Well done Jon, great video, cant believe the size of all the carp, sure is a special place

[@gazellis1961]

Awesome match video Jon.. when your on the fish, every one is fishing for second spot. Well done.

[@jakmalek3457]

Absolute Dolphins in there 😆 well done mate cracking result 👍

[@chriscurtis6843]

its a joy to watch you top rod

[@tompackwood2099]

Mega start!

[@davidarmstrong5786]

Great video as usual. Worst battering I've ever had only 160lb behind.😂

[@shuggiemcg1]

\i bet you were sitting there watching him bull these bruisers out thinking I'll have to watch that later! lol

[@chrisjames1987]

Great start to another great video Jon 👍🏻Top viewing as always

[@ralphcutler7622]

Great vid as usual Jon Tip of the week Shallow fishing when it snows

[@JonArthur]

Thanks 👍

[@johnkiddle379]

I always carry extra rubbers......something for the weekend sir? Suit you sir... This vid just shows how reading the water and keeping you eyes and options open pays dividends. Great haul Jon even with the school boy error with the landing net. Very big fish in Rolf's.

[@thomasboyce4666]

Great video, well done

[@markwaters5412]

Jon i do enjoy your video but what a winter catch well done

[@Esoxluciouss11]

class, ty for sharing

[@the72inc73]

WOW! The first 10 minutes I held my breath while you wrestled that 1st brute in haha!

[@JonArthur]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@grahamnash9794]

Proper wake up call, having a 20lb lump yanking your chain first thing. Thing is, it's down hill from there. Until you had lumps, one after another, after another. " things came to mind when watching this. 1st, If this was a John Wilson session, he'd have laughed right off his seat after the first 10 fish. 2nd, I reckon it ws great to go through the day's events to edit this, reliving every moment of a really good day. Note to self. When go to Rolfs, take a big, sturdy landing net, and never fish against Jon... LOL Congratulations mate. hard to believe that's winter fishing.

[@wright3753]

Brilliant that 👏

[@chrisbarratt4622]

I didn't think there was anywhere to compare with Bolingey, and in November! that was exceptional!

[@seantreacy6000]

Another great blog Jon and well done to you.a bit too commercial for me though reminds me of hooking a duck at the fair lol.

[@markpartington6551]

Awesome. We'll done jon 🐠

[@grahamcallaghan5429]

This just popped up on my phone whilst I'm sitting at the wrong end of a lake on 5 skimmers whilst everybody at the other is bagging up on carp. Winter fishing for you. At least I've got time to watch this! Haha

[@JonArthur]

Ha ha, not sure my tactics will work for you but best of luck!

[@MagicManFan]

Absolutely awesome. You're going to have to get one of those massive fold-up triangle nets the carp boys use for next time there! Fish a couple of Sundays ago in November and the carp were going mental competing for casters on the surface. Unbelievable.

[@3brewster]

Great video Jon as always 👍🎣💪💪 Love catching carp on the pole great tip if they try and go under the pallet I’ll defo try that next time. Cheers I’ve switched over to matrix gear now and those carp landing nets are fantastic 😊

[@samhirst7331]

Bloody brilliant eh. Smashed it. Hope you managed to get yourself a masseuse.

[@scottandrewjohnmiddleton8676]

Blimey Jon what a bag of fish some serious lumps on that soft elastic I went to white acres again this July and fished bolongey I had carp upto 18lb on that 12 to 14 slick I had 392lb in 5hrs lol but like you if I went up a size or 2 i could of smashed 500lb but welldone for nearly 200lb shallow in November absolutely mental 👍👍👍

[@Bart5800]

What a cracking days finishing on a cold day mate. Would love a chance to fish at Rolfs. Shame you didn’t get a good picture of that monster for us Jon. Love the vids as always👍🏻

[@scoob_dj]

Awesome mate! Love that place! Had 405lb there once back in its heyday when Rolf was alive and before the carp got huge!

[@mikepattinson3285]

Great video Jon, what a start. You definitely need a bigger net for them. Bet if someone had said you'd catch >200lb shallow during that match you'd have laughed at them. Well done another example of staying on feeding fish.🙃🙃🙃

[@john-mu7hy]

Jon, yours are some of the best edited videos on KZbin. Let's have less fish tanks and more on the proper hard venues I fish - Cherwell, Oxford Canal and Thames in winter.

[@peterthornton8520]

What a great start. 20Lbs in 1st couple minutes. Like the way you kept telling all it was a 20 pounder. Was it the biggest you ever caught. Given start of the cold part of year it was a really amazing catch. I thought the using of sunglasses was a great tip. Well done for a great result. Cheers.

[@JonArthur]

Thanks Peter. My PB is 24lb but it was close!

[@fishingsammystyle8682]

Great stuff that, it's nice when it goes well.

[@mikeoxley6303]

Whale well done jon

[@denniswilliamrobbins3031]

Well done Jon, looks like you had a great fishing match, how's your arms after the match. And again well done mate. 😀😀😀🎣🎣🎣🐟🐟🐟

[@kaloyankolev82]

Well done.What size landing net are you using?

[@paulthompson4451]

Great match mate, well done. Just shows the importance of not starting with a fixed plan, but adapting on the day depending on what you see.

[@johnperl6909]

Well done Jon what a start. Do you just put the band straight onto the hook ?

[@brianwelbourne9896]

Blimey, I thought I get excited, then again hooking a zoo creature on my first put in would make me be the same, ha ha ha . Well done Jon.

[@JonArthur]

😁

[@chrisfoster5098]

🤩 WOW

[@JonArthur]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@nickmitchell8930]

Crikey some big chips in some of your sections. Does it affect the performance of the pole?

[@chloepope198]

What a day incredible fishing for November bet you didn't expect anything like that when you sat on your box well done good skills John what was the weight for second and third. Mick Booth (Chloe's Dad)

[@davenwendyjones1036]

Well angled sir,

[@1975mycomputer]

Amazing haul jon. How do you do it mate. What mainline and hooklength were you using for winter?

[@rolandcolegate8228]

Just a thought Jon, when your mate hooked and landed a mobile phone , do you think the angler who lost it was trying to ring the changes ??

[@JonArthur]

Groan! 🤣

[@slavaslava5230]

What is the maximum casting distance for waggler fishing?Pls advice from your own long distance angling experience. P. S. I am gonna feeding with spomb, cobra or other carp fishing tackles)). For fish bite- binocular fishing glasses. 20 gramms cralusso rocket float and 17 ft rod with 10-35 grams test.

[@jamesweber4938]

Is that a U.K record for most weight in a match ? Well done.

[@rafaltatol2399]

EPIC !!!

[@oggybwfc1]

Splendid

[@nickypritchard6846]

Loving the videos Jon! keep up the great work !

[@apassionfortangling3671]

They were under my feet last week. I was sitting there with gloves on. It was freezing. November 👍

[@JonArthur]

Oh wow!

[@darrenlea5947]

Matrix my need to develop a bigger landing net just for you Jon 👊

[@JonArthur]

One for pike and 20s lol

[@stephenjlewis1976]

What was 2nd?

[@marokow4101]

Hello Jon, congratulations, you are hardcore. Can you tell me what size of the new TRI Layer pants are you using and how tall are you?

[@timothyclegg3727]

Jesus christ john whooper! My pb on pole is 12lb. And i was fishing heavy and took ages but you got that in pretty face! 🙂

[@johnfrench9608]

Some big old kippers you got there John

[@johnfrench9608]

Sorry Jon I mean I am John🙄

[@jeffchandler7662]

Hi Jon, They are great wagglers,shame that they don’t have interchangeable colour tips for changing weather conditions!! Come on matrix you know it makes sense !!!!

[@terrystokley2968]

Great film your arm must ache after catching those monsters.

[@ThePobolycwm]

what happened to the earlier upload?

[@JonArthur]

Had a strange glitch at the end so had to remaster it

[@jamiehoney9889]

Your mate wants to do the lottery this week, hookin a mobile phone what r the chances!!

[@WoolavyLeeWilliams]

I am not sure we (16 or more of us) had much more than that in 2 days earlier in the summer when they had issues with oxygen, the red kites provided more entertainment than the fishing. I shall return.

[@JonArthur]

Lovely venue and can be tough at times... but when they are feeding it's amazing!

[@WoolavyLeeWilliams]

@@JonArthur I enjoyed it. I ended up fishing single maggot or 4mm expander over sprayed micros just to get bites. Definitely going back despite the drive from Somerset.

[@sjmclean0]

Why is there a rule about how shallow you can fish? God just looked on this places site, some of the most ludicrous rules I've ever seen. Well fished Jon.
