Flood Washed SO MANY BIG FISH Into a Farmers Field! RESCUE Time!

Well the title tells it how it is. After the winter flooding I discovered a farmers field full of big fish stranded that need rescuing before the water dries up! The water levels had already dropped about a foot before filming, so I knew it was only a matter of time before these stranded fish end up in real danger! I hit this over grown puddle over a few days trying to catch as many of these big fish as I could to transfer them to the river. See how I got on!

"I might come back with a net" Yeah, yeah, you know you're gonna do it lad. I'll be here waiting, with all your other sub's. 'Get in!'

[@haydwilljones]

Hi Chris this is what i like most, a genuine good fisherman who will go out of his way to help fish, please show us the end of this rescue, and any more that happen if and when, a big big thankyou for this. Haydn.

[@RichardPostance]

[@allanmarshall4582]

A true fisherman you are. Not only towards the fish. But to the natural environment around.

[@PilzE.]

You're a good man, Chris, and a damned good fisherman!!! 😇

[@user-tr7fx8ty5s]

Fantastic job Chris rescuing those fish 👏👏👏👏

[@paulchapman8309]

[@alandavies3727]

You should get the EA to come and help you save those fish. Good job,some nice fish rescued.

[@deedontworry]

That drone footage is incredible! 🔥 Chris to the rescue! 👏

[@Derwentmole]

Quality. I remember doing similar with trout when I was about 14yrs old out of a smaller puddle. All of them went back in the river after a fortnight of commitment lol. That was only 34yrs ago 😮😢! Please show us the rest of the rescue!! That ghosty has to go back in surely! Fingers crossed 🤞.

[@njones2061]

Such good work rescuing stranded fish once again Chris. It’s becoming a regular occurrence with the frequency of the storms we get.

[@kevinbrasenell3729]

Such a nice caring guy. A big thank you from the angling community.

[@Cuz_lufc]

Thank you for doing a great job with getting them back in the river. Thankfully you saw them in the first place 🎣🍻

[@nodiggity9472]

Brilliant technicality to extend your river fishing season. For all intents and purposes you're fishing a stillwater.

[@jeremyallard7015]

Hi Chris, I now live in Brazil and used to fish for all sorts. Thanks for rescuing the fish.

[@needham831]

Well done Chris. Make sure operation fish rescue continues. 👍🙂

[@waynedyble9158]

Good man. Great respect to you Chris.. so many fish lost to the floods this year. But thanks to you some will make it back to where they came from. Keep on doing what you can.

[@randomguy956]

[@russellgarrett8505]

[@garymoore581]

[@mark24o965]

Your a class fisherman and your programme is brilliant thank you

[@martinpugh1008]

Excellent and well done to you mate for transferring the fish from the field to the river without your help those fish would certainly have died when the pond receded and dried up as the weather grew warmer and drier with the onset of late spring/summer don't forget to keep those excellent videos of yours coming I really enjoy watching them and picking up new ideas

[@MTHomestead]

Glad I found you through YT recommendations, really enjoyed this video and look forward to watching more.

[@MrMikeyc10]

Well done Chris awesome job.

[@dancolloby8163]

Hats off to you Chris, what a great thing to do 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@kieranokeeffe1363]

Brilliant work Chris 👏👏👏

[@febweb17]

I live in Australia. I have a friend whose a farmer. Farmers here always build there houses on high ground. The farmer had a goldfish pond in his garden, on some ground lower than the house was his dam. In 1973 we had torrential rain that came up to the houses doorstep. When the rain stopped and the water subsided, his goldfish had gone. 2 years later you could see huge goldfish in the dam, some up to a kilogram.

[@douglasmccoll]

Another great video bud well done helping they carp thanks

[@babylonsburning1]

Carp fishing in a puddle, that's fishing commercials for you.

[@classclown4527]

What a great thing of you to do. Every credit mate 👍🏼🐟

[@davelester1985]

It is a good thing you have done, saving them. Keep going back and save more, bring your girl friend and her pole.

[@chrisstaniforth5629]

This is mint!!! Cheers for the content dude

[@AARON-ef1kr]

1st time I`ve seen your channel, I`ve subscribed and liked, I love that you care for the fish and have released them into the river which no doubt will turn out monster fighting carp ! look forward to seeing when you go back and finish netting the rest NO FISH LEFT BEHIND !!!!! good luck mate, Aaron👍

[@glenmcg2157]

Amazing job your doing keep it up 👍

[@chrishockley3990]

Cracking upload! You catch more than most even from a farmers field 😂 not many can claim them bragging rights lol amazing job as always and thanks for the amazing content!

[@TheBudgie29]

Brilliant Session again Chris. Some real nice ones there. You can spend up to a week on a designated Carp Pond, And never get as many as this. So this Is the nightmare we will be facing when the Water goes down. At the moment, It Is still like a giant lake (since November). There will be fish up to 30lb caught In a similar situation. Plus millions of fry as well. It Is not good for the Pike, as there Is no Brook for them to go to and spawn. So they will just have to spawn In the open water for now. Keep 'Em Coming.

[@stephenheap6060]

Awesome work my dude well done saving those fish and looks like ya had great fun doing it

[@i.m1981]

The fish will have a field day when the corn atarts growing lol. Literally ha ha

[@PBUCKY1969]

Hi Chris - great to see you giving these fish another chance at life! You should have invited the Snagged Bros because I think even they would have managed to set the hook!

[@StusFishing]

Awesome video mate good on you saving those Carp would love seeing a part 2 especially going for the Ghostie/Koi

[@Juznik1389]

Dang, I always thought about this type of fishing but never tried it. I should give this a try! Thanks for inspiration

[@michaelboyle9889]

Great rescue really well done mate 🎣👍👍

[@Offcut55]

Well done! Great to see the true care for the fish doomed to die without your help?

[@troggmeister]

My relatives used to own all the land around where you were fishing . I used to fish the stretch of River where the willows ended , used to get decent chub on luncheon meat ! . Them fields have always flooded , sometimes as far as the road .

[@gavincorbett1272]

Mate I love your videos...that was awesome 👌 you know your be back for that ghostie 😂

[@michaelripley4528]

Thanks for saving these fish!!!🥰 Another catch release dude😎 What do you Call the other carp??? We Call Them “grass carp” 🤷🏼‍♂️16:00

[@robertedney3892]

Well done mate, done a good thing and had some fun, nice 😊

[@chrisclark4112]

Them fish are happy now 😊

[@brimstone260]

Good man Chris. Lucky fish.

[@baldieman64]

Their mouths suggest they've come from a commercial Stillwater somewhere upstream. Ideally, that's where they'd go back to, but moving fish from one "Stillwater" to another without a permit is illegal, whereas rescuing fish trapped after a flood, and returning them to the river is fine.

[@cliveb9771]

Looks like it. The whole setup is strange. VERY unlikely a small river like that could contain a head of carp of that size plus no fish you WOULD expect in the river (Chub, Barbel, Perch) visible in the pond at all. More to this than meets the eye.

[@topfuelteddy]

Looks like a proper lake to me or at least somewhere that floods exactly the same every year .

[@baldieman64]

@@cliveb9771 Nah. I don't think there's anything dodgy going on. Native river fish are pretty good at staying in rivers when they flood, Carp by contrast are heavily stocked in commercials and those commercials flood. Carp do range out over flooded fields (there are a couple of good documentaries about them doing exactly this in Japan) and they get stuck.

[@brucepaul81]

I reckon these carp have been placed in that 'pond' for someone to fish for. I'd guess it's been stocked for fishing. Just my guess don't care either way ha.

[@Andrew-fl3lz]

I don’t believe this at all

Amazing Bro!!!! Greating from Italy💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
