HUGE BASS! Holyhead Breakwater U.K. Sea Fishing

Well what can I say! This huge bass was taken on a FULL MACKEREL using a simple running rig!

[@rivit90]

Top angler , fish was well looked after and put back ,, Respect!!!

[@derektierney1314]

Lovely job getting him in & really glad you returned a breeding bass back into 2 the sea, nicely done 😁🇮🇪

[@meejhgggg]

What's gonna be different let's say he will take this fish lol... Nothing different from buying dead one from the store... U think this out 3D printer😂😂😂🤣

[@derektierney1314]

@@meejhgggg mate a fish this size takes years to grow & only mate when mature enough the bass that you buy in the shops are only small ones & taste better than the big ones for sure, it's always a buzz returning live fish back to the sea as part of the catch & realize program to help preserve the bass stocks in the sea.

[@sinraptor216]

Well done for putting it back, that’s potentially thousands of baby bass for next year. That’s why the breeders go back. Little uns for eating :) Stunning creature and on a whole mackerel. I gave up pike fishing for this and it’s well worth it. Pike just get damaged to easy.

[@Zola57]

TOTAL, TOTAL Respect to you fella. That's a breeding fish and you put it back. Well done you. RESPECT.

[@colinmiller8361]

Putting any fish back gets a thumbs up from me, but to return a bass like that, top marks mate.

[@jimbagley321]

I was sitting down waiting for my chicken to cook on Vancouver island in Canada and thought as a bit of nostalgia I'd watch on you tube a bit of shore fishing in the UK which I left 30 years - came across your video - congratulations that's the fish of a lifetime to be caught from the shore and one we can all dream about.

[@daleedwards5519]

brilliant start to finish well done and great to see it go back alive

[@davidkoster8384]

Wow, amazing catch. I’m so happy you put her back, she’ll produce loads of babies. 👍🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

[@gregd8880]

Cracking well done. Nice one on the fish care and release too 👍

[@paulgoodenough8089]

Well done mate. That's an absolute stonking fish. No wonder you're buzzing m8. Tight lines cheers Paul 🎣 🍻 👏

[@manuelsabater1073]

Respect to you for returning the bass tgat is what makes a great angler

[@norfolkyeti]

Congratulations John and what a lovely sight to witness her swimming away…..

[@davidrussell3890]

AWESOME FISH AND A GREAT RELEASE YOU WILL NOT FORGET THAT ONE IN A HURRY. I AM SOOOOO JEALOUS

[@vaan1520]

Caught a bass about this size back in the 90s from Criccieth (N. Wales). There is a rock that sticks up from the sea bed about 80 yards out at low tide to the left of the castle. Never weighed the fish (put back) but looks nearly the same size.Haven't been back and not fit enough to do it now, but am sure some sizeable fish must still be there. Actually found the spot by snorkelling around the castle area and saw a number of smaller rocks on the sand/shingle seabed that were sheltering good fish. Strangely, hear very little about fishing in the Criccieth area. Greta video, big fan

[@markwhatley7802]

Congrats Jon boy that is a pukka Bass defo a fish of a lifetime well in. Glad to see it recovered and was put back Top Angling 🎣🎣👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kerryfoster1]
