I Found the BEAST of The Forgotten Ponds!

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Hope you guys enjoyed. I should be exploring some more tiny wild rivers and maybe check out a new neglected pond or two in the near future. If you want to check out the tackle I used in this video links are in the description. Tight Lines!

[@harrisgoodinson1798]

What canal do you fish?

[@pikebrady8280]

Are u on fish brain app ? It's a good app I show alot of fish I catch on it u should check it out 🎣🎣

[@peterburlin8198]

That was awesome, cant believe the size of those pike from that tiny pond! Great to fish summer pike with fairly light gear too, give em a fair fight!

[@daviddolan5657]

Could you try out the real eel by savage gear

[@emobloom]

Please don't use trebles for catch and release!

[@judgeroybean6930]

Enjoyed this so much, your enthusiasm is nice to see. The pond you fished today seemed to have 'Pike' stamped through it like a Brighton Rock, overhanging branches, reeds etc. Nice fish too. Pike have such beautiful markings and colours.thanx.

[@PHARRAOH]

this, is my favorite spot you've shown so far. reminds me of a pond I grew up fishing for bass, bluegill, crappie, channel and bullhead catfish, carp. I loved that lake. the city drained it, dredged it out and put concrete edges. Its never recovered 15 years later, it's dead. Awesome video

[@kajisfishingworld5394]

which lake is that mate ?

[@ophiocephalus]

Love those early mornings...... whirligigs on the surface and the sound of waking pigeons and reed warblers..... Cool.

[@adydiamond]

Great video dude, been feeling low lately but you've just inspired me to get out and chuck a few lures!! So thanks 😁

Hi Chris I’m mailing from Canada been here for 30 years but I was born in London, and your vid’s, technics remind me of when I was a boy fishing in the canals around London, I’m still an avid fisherman, but a lot of different species over here compared to British fishing, not better or worse , but watching your vids is refreshing to watch, and you do a great job and know what your talking about it seams, keep up the good work, I loved the forgotten pond especially thanks and best regards Jimi Dunn

That's why I love your uploads. You just have fun, none of the pretentious crap you get elsewhere.

[@ArloInternational9]

I find it mad how youve got your toes in there and pike are hitting lures that hard 🤣

[@scottandrewjohnmiddleton8676]

I've gotta take my hat off to you mate that's definitely dedication to our sport all looks like a lot of hard work but some beautiful fish as a result 👍

[@ianmaddams9577]

Had my first pike yesterday after getting back into fishing after 15 yrs. I have to say it felt awesome even tho it was only about 6 lb lol . Great video mate 👍🏻

[@Underhills]

The first pike after 15 years always weighs a ton, no matter what size it really is. Good on'ya.

[@ianmaddams9577]

@@Underhills cheers pal

[@kajisfishingworld5394]

what a great video and catches specially the big one you missed ! , By the I love your videos ,I just came to UK from South Asia ,and I will be doing Pike fishing soon. Thanks for all information you provide in your video. loved it man

[@jackmckune6822]

I enjoy every video, Best English fishing KZbin channel out there. no one can match the exciting content and the consistency

[@jasonk1167]

Loving the forgotten pond “series” ! Really enjoyable to watch, reminds me of one close to me. Would be awesome to see you use the belly boat to bait a few likely looking areas and see what other beasts lurk in there🧐👀

[@TrueNorthOutdoorAdventures]

Great stuff man! Grew up catching oodles of Pike in Canada, but moved to the Midwest over 20 years ago. We've got great fishing for other stuff, but sure do miss catching some 'slough sharks'!

[@scotlandssherlockpiper551]

Your channel is absolutely refreshing and great lot do fisherys great to see someone wild fishing. You clearly doing good here on KZbin world and rightly so you should be I love watching your videos. Keep up good work lad, tight lines 👏👍

[@justluvfishinguk]

Awesome buddy.. plenty pike there .. that beast you lost ..wow .. cheers Chris & Sam

[@jamiewalters7750]

You'll have to give it another session there Chris,get the big mama on your lap. I've never experienced the use of a belly boat,not sure I'd have the confidence but it does give you the access to differcult waters. Tight lines bro.

[@interstellarartois5902]

Your videos are great mate, it’s nice to see someone do so much constant pike fishing; predator fishing is what I always do 😎

[@needham831]

Fantastic second fish, Chris. They fight so hard in the warm weather when they get to that size. Brilliant fish.☺ What a great session overall too.👍

[@heyitsmetrousers4399]

They also struggle with low levels of oxygen in still waters mainly which is why I never fish for them in summer. He should know better and stick to other species in summer!

[@1Dynodan]

Love these videos, you've taken piking to a whole new level dude

[@jeffnordquist9231]

Great video Curious if there is any big huge blue gills, perch, bass or even catfish besides pike. Try using live bait night crawlers, crickets, grasshoppers, small blue gills for bait, surface baits for bass like jitter bugs and huller hoppers. Even fish off the bottom using corn and crawlers for bottom feeders like catfish and carp just to see if their are other kinds of large fish in the pond.

[@MrJimmuck]

Hello ... good videos! I have stopped using two treble hooks when fishing for pike .... they get hurt as do I sometimes! If the lure has two trebles I remove one depending on their positioning. I suppose I miss the odd pike but I still catch a good few too!

[@differentfins]

One of you best videos! Nice fish caught but that heartbreaker.... of course the big one gets away.

[@LucasR-xl4sl]

Really enjoying these videos, definitely makes me want to go Pike Fishing!

[@deividas_kimontas]

Nice one Chris!! Rapala Otus is an unbelievable lure! Must have in your takle box 💯💯🎣👌

[@michaelsicowitz362]

That looks like amazing fun. Our pike here in Wisconsin seem to quit faster than UK pike. I wonder if the water is cleaner, it's something. Great opportunity for you to track those pike for a few years. Take a measurement and clip a fin perhaps. Love your vids. Mike in Wisconsin USA

[@dank6299]

Probably because he has his drag set so loose they just seem to fight longer. Most anglers would have had that in a lot quicker without getting run ragged.

[@LiamDCoughlan]

These ponds are so cool! Been toying with the idea of getting a belly boat for a while to access some places similar near to me. Think I’m gonna bite the bullet and purchase one

[@hairyscone]

Great video. I just bought a belly boat.gonna get out next week can't wait. What about a small paddle to help you turn ? If you're ever up loch awe in Scotland give me a shout I'll take you out. Cracking pike loch . Biggest in Scotland.

[@benjamin112]

Always enjoy your viedos mate. Keep it coming!

[@samdieselpower]

Can’t believe your fishing just there in that little gap. Fish from the bank there a fair bit. Got a key for the gate so might give it a go soon thanks 👍👍. Not bad effort bro. Had a fair few bigger out of there back in the day. Gonna go down the idle soon if you fancy it !!! Going down on my tiny rib boat and out board !! Right good fun ! You should come along. Start up near bawtry. Also another secret spot. Have you made it right into the middle of the secret lakes yet ??

[@petercalthorpe7966]

Great pike Chris , that was a monster you'll have to go back for sure . Why aren't you wearing Crocs ? You never know a pike might take a liking to you little toe 🤗🤗🤗. We have some Crocs over here in Australia you might like to try on 😂😂😂😂. Take care mate all the best from Downunder, say high to Dom .👍

[@sorenwitte7637]

I caught a pike on a peto before 20 cm lure and the pike is 90 plus with a 40 cm bream in the throat

[@pjsgonefishing1142]

You have to get that monster! Awesome video! 👌

[@WolfmanWoody]

Nice to see you using a modest priced rod and reel. Amazing how good they are these days. Lures are stil pricey though, I'd hate to think what my collection would cost me these days.

[@raygrange7312]

Brilliant. Well done mate.

[@Chris16761]

Brilliant video really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing it 👍

[@SirBeauJangles]

I think your drag is sometimes set too light... Set as light as that with a lively fish attached, you'll pick up too much line twist with a fixed spool outfit. You do seem to have a way of getting among them! Light rods can lack the backbone needed to set a decent hookup if you've moved to a bait with bigger hooks... I think that's why you lost that heavy fish, looked like a solid take too, very nicely filmed.

[@aldomcgowan6561]

Superb video mate great fish shame you lost that big belter but still what a video well done

[@stevieltiktokshop]

Looks like a fun way to fish that little chair "LOL" I just got back from some fly fishing today. was a bit windy but we had a good day and pulled out two nice rainbow trout and a Carp all on the fly rods.

[@PonyFoot123]

Carp on the fly are so fun

[@stevieltiktokshop]

@@PonyFoot123 It was my second time fly fishing. Chloe my girlfriend has been doing it now for 17 years with her grandfather. I really enjoy it im still getting used to casting but i am catching so im doing okay "LOL"

Great video Chris, what a shame of that big pike! Till next time 👍🥇

[@delwigzieful]

Excellent video chris the rapala peto crazy lure,Dellboy

[@jeffnordquist9231]

The best bait I ever used for rock bass or blue gills was grasshoppers. The moment they hit the water I caught a fish. However It does take a while to catch them and you have to hook them behind the head. The man from fish creek aventures used a artificial bait lure that was just like a grasshopper. He caught many large blue gills, rock bass, and small bass with this lure. You ought to try it just to see what you can catch. You should catch some fish that you can use for bait to catch more gaint pike or bass.

[@sheppeyfishtales]

Got some of those little frog lures. Definitely will give it a try tomorrow. Great vid as usual.

[@Vissenbijdewaterkant]

Great video and nice pike attacks! That was a 100 cm pike (in the Netherlands we call them Meter snoek/100 cm pike) that you lost!!

[@alexwololo9340]

I am also pike Fisher lover, congratulations bro very good videos

[@steveappy6921]

Everyone should know this. When you real in it puts a twist in line everytime the bail arm revolves. When you play a fish on the clutch, the twist remains in you line. Some of the twist comes out with a swivel sure but not all which will lead to tangles. Tight untwisted lines, everyone.

[@DomFishingUK]

Little otus is the Jacky destroyer 💪

Absolutely great vid that big head was a beast....

new to ya channel..awsome stuff buddy ....im a pred angler so it suits me down to the ground.....tight lines...

[@chrislangowski4438]

Fish blood coagulates better in water than in air. That's why they seem to bleed so bad from small wounds out of the water. I looked into this one day I caught a large bass and he was bleeding bad from the gills. When I put him back It looked like he had a red ribbon trailing from his gill. All the blood that was on its side solidified when I put it back.

[@alexneal9534]

Great vid. The pond looks sweet and an awesome one for the belly boat. Did you get leached up in there?

[@phil7301]

That was one big bad pike ! Keep up the good work 👍

[@jesperbrrupnielsen7793]

mate, great video as always!! but you should consider comming to denmark at some point. i'll put you on some good pike. the ones you call decent, i call babies :D

[@jasonridyardhome]

Great vid as ever. Not sure I would have wanted to land that monster, in a little boat. 🖒🖒🖒

[@ianmiller1879]

what a beautiful way to fish, top vid.

[@hollythebo]

I just couldn’t go on the belly boat with bare legs in the water. Freak me out too much 😂

[@BUSTERy]

Yip me too! I've opted for a pedal powered fishing kayak because I'm not crazy about swinging 2 sized 1 trebles around a plastic tube! Especially fishing for pike, do they not throw the hooks into the belly tube? I don't mind fishing for trout with belly floats but i still wouldn't go in there with only boxers on!

[@Flippin4Fish]

It’s sooo fun

[@hollythebo]
