I Can't Believe This Stupid Bait Caught Soo Many Big Fish!! In The Flood

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Little story about the Thumbnail for this video. I did actually catch a pike from inside that pipe during the video, but when it came to transferring the files that clip as well as about 5 others corrupted and I lost the footage. After I caught the pike I decided this would be the thumbnail and was the only thumbnail I took this session. So even though the footage wasn't in the video we're stuck with this thumbnail. Tantalizing story 😂. So how'd you like the video?

[@brandsthatcreatelitter1648]

@The ginger fisherman It would be great to see you promote, non plastic baits, because so many thousands end up polluting our favourite swims.

@@brandsthatcreatelitter1648 realistically how much plastic bait is left in the water or banking as apposed to all the other shite floating about or dumped on the banking. Fisherman really don't want to lose lures but seems people don't give a crap about throwing that bottle away

[@Hixyboyblue]

Have you consider laminating a 50cm marking on to your net handle? Means you would always be able to measure the fish if you wanted to and seeing you use the net to land decent sized perch, it would always be immediately to hand. Thanks for the stream of awesome videos. Takes me back to my childhood fishing these little streams, cuts and rivers.

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Not a bad idea buddy might just so that 👍

[@Jb-tl1yi]

You can also just use anthropometric data, which is what ancient measurements systems were based on. i.e Cubit the length between elbow and fingertip approx 18" (460mm).

[@crvnmrhd]

Great idea!

[@Plastiklandser]

[@luciapage9763]

Just a bit of advice and cool way to fish all year round, In the rapid like area where you caught the perch at 7:30 In the video, I grab a small 5 or 6cm micro crankbait, I mainly use the rapala bx minnow or smaller, flick it out at the top of the rapids and let it flow down and let the fast water make the action for you, just don’t let the lure got too far and you’ll catch chub, perch and pike

[@rauleu4355]

You really need to buy some good winter boots...it looks like you are going to play tennis! Gj, nice video!

[@fridaynightfishfights6661]

I was fully expecting you to get into the pike. Shocked to see chub and perch hitting that tube bait so aggressively. Finally you got a pike. Best wishes for 2023.

[@yorkshirecoastadventures1657]

Wow some nice fish Guess we now know a new Chub magnet Thanks

[@markportlock5255]

Favourite moment 4:02 with your excitement at the first chub and landing it. For an angler that catches a load of really impressive fish Chris I really enjoy how you retain that “big kid” feeling when hooking and landing fish. I’m guessing these “stupid” soft baits also have an aroma/taste? I’ve used some similar for perch here in the Netherlands and they have a salty crayfish scent - meant to be great for perch but I’m a little bit behind your catch rate I must admit! Tight lines

[@ekyone1]

Do you use a wire trace when going for pike? Do you swap between wire and mono for other fish?

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

If I'm targeting pike in 90% of situations I use a wire trace unless I'm throwing really big baits then I use 80-100lb fluorocarbon. If I'm targeting perch with soft plastics I almost always just use fluorocarbon usually between 8 and 15lb depending on the conditions

[@filipnevezi]

Nice bit if fishing!! What polarised glasses do you use?

[@placidpaddler]

Tube jigs are deadly multi-species baits here in Ontario , especially through the ice. A proper jig head imparts the best action and garners the strongest bite since the shank of the hook runs within the jig so the fish feel nothing but a big juicy chew.

[@GIBBO4182]

Question mate. I know you got to have a rod licence. But the places you fish, do have to have a separate licence??

[@leftmono1016]

Sorry to hijack but you do need a separate club membership for about 95% of water (unless it’s day ticket). Memberships are usually only around £50 or less per year. Decent value.

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

Yes and no - If its a river then some stretches may be rented out and controlled by a local fishing club. Throwing your postcode and 'fishing club' into google might help you see if any local stretches near you are controlled and if it is controlled, then you would need to buy a club membership to fish at those stretches of river. Canals are slightly different. You can fish them all year round, but just like above. Some stretches can be rented by clubs so you'll have to do your own research and buy a membership. Some stretches arent controlled by clubs but you will have to pay a permit if you wish to fish them - its called the 'waterway wanderers permit' - it will set you back about £23. Its silly i know but thats how it is. In a lot of countries. you dont even need a rod license let alone a permit to fish a river or canal. Rod license goes to the government. Club membership goes to the club. Waterway Wanderers permit goes towards the Canal & River Trust that look after the rivers and canals.

[@davidrichardson6872]

Thanks for the info. Sounds quite complicated for a life long sea angler. Very much appreciate the feedback.

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

@@davidrichardson6872 C&RT have a list of all the places you can fish with their waterway wanderer permit on their website so you'll be able to look at if there are any stretches local to you before you purchase otherwise you're dealing with clubs. Didnt have none of this faff 30 years go. You got your rod licence and went fishing wherever you wanted on the rivers and canals and a baliff on a moped turns up once in a while and you give him £2.00-5.00 to fish there for the day.

[@davidrichardson6872]

Faff being the word. I live in NE England and did a lot of fly fishing 25 yr ago with a certain footballer. Take your guess. It was simple. Get your rod ticket from the P.O. and get your day ticket on arrival. Why all the red tape these days???
