I Caught the Fish of my Childhood Dreams... on This TINY Boat?! 😯

Can I catch the fish of my childhood dreams? Join us as we fish in an epic 3 vs 3 competition over 3 days, in the rural countryside of southwest France. I've been so excited about this trip for so long, and it definitely didn't disappoint! The fish just ket on getting bigger and bigger. That's right, we are bass fishing targeting Black Bass (or Largemouth bass), a species we don't have in the UK.
3 novice Englishmen against 3 expert French, what could go wrong?

aww that little fish bumping the camera was so funny the fish looked so mad

[@adventurefishinguk]

Haha yeah it had a proper go at it didn’t it!

[@callumnoblett4905]

Good fun. Very relaxed competition rules . Those Frenchies fishing while the Brits were still snoozing . Good to see you taking advantage of every minute of fishing time and some good hard fighting bass too

[@adventurefishinguk]

The trip was great fun mate, absolutely loved it! Thanks for watching 👍

[@davetevens5080]

What a great adventure for you George and the rigged and ready boys. Excellent video and the bass fishing is always good fun😊😊😊

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for watching mate! This one was great fun!

[@karlney8769]

Thanks for sharing they look like our large mouth bass here in the states. They really give you a fight.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for watching! I think they're the same species 👍

[@Watsgonewrong]

Yes G. Great fishing trip,

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for watching mate!

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

If youre still in France. I recommend having a go at catching some of their catfish. You might need to upscale or borrow some equipment though but I promise that you'll have an extremely good time!

[@adventurefishinguk]

I’m back now but would definitely love to have a go catfish fishing properly one day! Thanks for watching 👍

Great fishing. I'll definitely have to look into a trip to France for some bass fishing.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate! You should, it's great fun!

[@redneckfishing]

A great video my friend, too bad I could only be there for one day. I can't wait to go to England for the return match 😁 PS: Subtiles are awesome 🤣

[@Hardlinesangling]

Great video George. What a great experience. Must have a go at bellyboating myself at some point always scared ill put a hook in it 😂.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate! It’s great fun, fine with single hooks but nerve wracking with trebles!

[@Hardlinesangling]

​@@adventurefishingukfly it is from the float tube then 😂. I'm up for a weekend of float tubing at some point if you fancy it.

[@wxtson4770]

awesome video!

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it!

[@chrismoose64]

Looked like a great trip. Let me know if you come back mate. I live in SW France 😀

[@adventurefishinguk]

It certainly was! Do you know any good places for bass fishing near you? Perhaps anywhere private, or with an exciting storyline that would make for a good youtube video?

[@chrismoose64]

I’ll message you pal. Just away in Sh*t Britain for a week 😂

[@chris881989]

What a great vlog and trip. Well done 👍

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate I loved filming this one!

[@alexandermcgowan4125]

What a video mate fair play to rigged and ready

[@adventurefishinguk]

Was a great few days they organised!

[@jambobee]

Well done pal,never even knew you can catch them in France 😂

[@adventurefishinguk]

I didn't until a couple of years ago! Thanks for watching!

[@Cavanpikefishing]

Brilliant video would love to catch one of them bass i wonder if they will ever come in to Ireland or England all doe i think one was got on the Shannon river in Athlone here,thanks again

[@adventurefishinguk]

I think they might, the weather could be a little cold though!

[@williamedwards9419]

A great video! Bass bite better early in the morning or late in the evening.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Yeah that definitely showed over this trip! Thanks for watching 👍

[@nathanmaynard131]

Glad you got to experience some native North American fish my friend! Next you need to go DURING a rain with topwater frogs 👀

[@adventurefishinguk]

Me too! In rain? That's interesting. Does the water disturbance not detract from the lure?

[@nathanmaynard131]

@@adventurefishinguk As long as it is not a torrential downpour, in my experience the rain gets bass going. I think they know it causes food to be washed in the water from the banks, or can disturb what is hiding on the edge of the banks. A similar concept to trout getting very lethargic with warm water temps. The rain cools the water off and causes the bass to go into feeding mode. They push shallow to feed when they feel the water cooling off. I’m sure there is more to it than that, but that’s what I’ve noticed!

[@scottlefave6205]

Well done man. Great time. If you ever come to Canada Come to Ontario. We have some Giant Small Mouth Bass. 🍻

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for watching, i'd absolutely love to!

[@cheza7061]

Great challenge England but well done France. We're they large mouth bass?😎🎣🐟

[@adventurefishinguk]

They did well! And yeah largemouth bass but they call them black bass in Europe

[@callumnoblett4905]

Been tubing once on a lake in Canada, snow falling , otters swimming . Freezing cold and feeling very odd to be flippering around catching Canadian trout on the fly . All fun tho

[@adventurefishinguk]

Yeah i did enjoy my time on the float tube actually maybe I'll have to get myself one!

[@jasonandmint4312]

Very good so far 🎉

[@adventurefishinguk]

Really glad you’re enjoying it!

[@stevechandler9805]

Seabass is the one puts up a nice fight even smaller ones fight well plus taste amazing but id love to do fresh water bass fishing

[@adventurefishinguk]

Great fun to catch aren't they!

[@billt6116]

Wait till you catch a black bass that weighs upwards of 20 pounds and is 34 inches long! YEE-HAW!! They're prevalent in the Southern US states.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Now that would be something special, maybe one day!

[@mrengland6325]

n1 bud thanks

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for watching mate!

[@Mark-tg9cj]

Hi great video as usual , I was thinking about getting one of your rigged and ready fishing rods to take on holidays with me one to fit inside my suit case what would you recommend pls

[@adventurefishinguk]

Hi Mark, I’d strongly recommend the X5 combination with reels available on my website www.adventurefishinguk.com it’s the most versatile and very compact 👍

[@Mark-tg9cj]

@@adventurefishinguk thanks that’s what il go for then

[@jasonandmint4312]

Me too

[@stevenclenahan6117]

Hi, are you by any chance doing the fishing windermere tours?

[@adventurefishinguk]

I’m not no, although I have been out with a couple of guides

[@stevenclenahan6117]

Have you been out with Eric hope?

[@thomasharrison72]

Did not know that there were bucket mouth in France, how did they get there ?

[@adventurefishinguk]

They must have been introduced they aren’t native I don’t think but plenty of them in the south

[@markbradley1015]

What gram rod do I need for perch but could handle a pike or two

[@adventurefishinguk]

The Rigged and Ready X5 adventure is my recommendation, it comes with different tips. One is perfect for perch, and the shorter one works well for pike 👍

[@derekgraziano9499]

Small mouth bass pull way harder .. nice fish small but nice

[@adventurefishinguk]

I've never caught one of those, i don't think we have them in europe!

[@derekgraziano9499]

@@adventurefishinguk omg there are every where in Canada I catch up to sixty a day here or more ... Bro they pull hard

[@Castingandcatchinguk]

Where about in France is this

[@adventurefishinguk]

Rural southwest 👍

[@Olympusland]

Looks like largemouth

[@adventurefishinguk]

I think black bass and largemouth bass are different names for the same species, I could be wrong though!

[@Olympusland]

@@adventurefishinguk ah, would make sense

[@romanjaycee6596]

Same thing 😉

[@Olympusland]

@@romanjaycee6596 thanks!

Makes a change from your usual.

A very welcome one it was great fun!
