I Caught The Forgotten Ponds COW! Fattest Fish I've Ever Caught!

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Just a little side note. Each session was about 4 hours long, so only a total of around 12 hours bank time for these quality fish. Sometimes choosing to go for just a few hours first or last light can be more productive than an entire day on the bank. Hope you guys enjoyed watching it as much as I enjoyed the fishing!

[@markR6.76]

Find them Bait them Catch them Brilliant watercraft and I do like the stealth approach with the silent alarm 😂 , keep pre baiting over a few weeks whilst it’s still warm ish and you get more , there’s no angling pressure there either 👍 Got to do a few more sessions on there , great video !!! good luck and tight lines,

[@stewartevans9753]

That was great again and there must be a monster or two in that pond absolute quality fish

[@Fishing428]

Your videos just inspire me to go fishing all the time this was a great vid cant wait for the upcoming videos 🎣👌

[@nikodemmut5326]

Hey mister ginger fisherman you were using the technique i use to catch fish

[@FishingWithJamie88]

Pukka video mate I've got a forgotten lake I fish only fished it twice and had 1 carp of 5lb but learn a few forgotten tips off you 😀, I'd keep on the lake another couple of weeks in my opinion the weather isn't changing infact it's getting better for carp fishing, but fully recommend fishing a mid spring session there the carp will be at there biggest then 😀 👍 🎣🎣🎣, keep the vids coming mate loving the channel 👍 😀

[@mikeg3293]

So nice to see a fishing area that hasn’t got a wooden boarding area as big as a car park and hasn’t had the trees cut back so that the armchair carp ‘ specialist’ can’t show off how much gear they have. Breath of fresh air.

[@leftmono1016]

Wheelbarrow to the peg, set up the bivvy, cast out 3 rods and settle down for a kip. Hopefully catch one of the huge fish that have been dumped there. Not for me either, like a bit of jungle warfare. But each to their own 👍

@@ryandigings7335 - yes, the biggest two insults in fishing are giving fish pet names and bivvy slippers. But then again, if it keeps more people away from proper fishing that’s fine by me 👍

The only bloke on KZbin you can turn a carp fishing video into something this interesting. Haven't enjoyed watching someone catch carp this much since my first time watching Chris Yates and Bob James over at Redmire. This is proper fishing.

[@ianmaddams9577]

Agreed 👍🏻

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Thanks buddy i appreciate the kind words! 🙏

[@AllroundJack]

This is the best fishing content on yt. Would love to see one of the forgotten big girls on the bank! 🎣

[@nigelpearce5238]

Yes please try to have another session they're the most interesting shaped fish and probably never caught before and a big well done for the fish you caught

[@si_blacksheep]

Oh Chris… the bit where your bait alarm was muted, you looked away and your rod WENT. I replayed it several times. It happens to us all but I did chuckle. Love to see you catch a monster out of there. Another great vid. Much respect 🤟

[@WetheDee]

Something absolutely magical about this kind of venue! As far away from pristine & absolutely rammed commercial fisheries.. Stunning & tricky Carp 🙌 Top video Chris! Class work!

[@PilzE.]

Definitely MUCH more interested in the predators! So much so, I almost passed this video by. However, after watching, of course we want more, are you MAD, get on it Chris, we NEED to see you land a proper lump!

[@lh_dally276]

[@trevorcornes1056]

Well Chris,nice too see you doing the ponds again . Fishing for Carp 😄 that’s a bit different from normal . Great too watch and very interesting too.

Brilliant production of the video, I really liked how this one was made. Talking, showing the rigs, to the catching. Some hard fishing there too, well done dude

[@RobTaverner]

Another great vlog Chris. You are so lucky to have access to this type of venue. I would love to see another session.

[@baldvale5418]

Thank you Chris for sharing this flipping awsome awsome video diary of the forgotton pond, I have watched and loved them all both the Pike & the Carp. I don't know why but since you started your mini campaign on this out of the way place I have imagined how it used to look before it became so over grown, i think that it is your great story telling that made me feel like i was there myself. I hope that you can keep this place to yourself and maybe clear some weed to make it more fishable. So it's a big YES from me to fish the place as much as you would like as it's not every day that any of us get to fish somewhere as mystical as that. All the best.

[@andysmith819]

Fantastic fish! Thank you for sharing.I'd love to see one of the monsters :)

Awesome vid! I've been wondering what else might be lurking in one of those ponds. You should definitely get out there again for the carp. I know I absolutely would. The anticipation...... eeeeeeeeee :)

Brilliant footage Chris, any one can go to a commercial lake and catch fish, but to go to a forgotten pond and catch fish is so more challenging and enjoyable to watch.Good on ya Chris

[@differentfins]

"Corporate carp videos" haha I love that. I agree, I enjoy these 'keeping it real' type videos. When anglers try to go corporate/commercial it's a turn off.

[@tonycamplin8607]

Like those streams you're really lucky to be able to fish such a well stocked water. Remember that all these venues, regardless of what they look like, have owners and its vital that you get their permission before you fish them. I say this because I regularly suffer from people poaching on my waters.

[@cplatter38]

As always Chris, fantastic video! You crack me up because I do the exact same thing... there's always... ALWAYS something I forget!! Or should've brought... this summer we went "dipping" for sockeye salmon and I forgot my 19YO while he was changing into his waders!! We'd stopped at a bunch of privys about a mile from the spot.... in my defense I had 2 folks new to dipping and 4 other kids with me... nevertheless... fortunately he laughed about his harried father! Here in Alaska, residents can use a 5ft wide gill net solidly mounted to catch 25 +10 for each member of the household, 95 fish for mine, annually. Since the rivers I dip get a couple million 2-9 lb sockeyes every summer spawning up them, it's pretty fun! Anyway... tight lines and sunny days!
