I Had No Choice! To Be Able to Catch This Big Urban Canal Fish!

[@cliffdixon6422]

I have told stories before of the hard fights had with Carp but never had to jump in a canal to get one out! Top man for getting a soaking on account of fish welfare.

[@Vimptocandle]

Fish with rappala or yo zuri lures, if your a tight arse like me, you always in the water unsnagging them lol

[@fabiantimmins2224]

One of the single best moments I have ever seen in course/carp fishing and I have been at it for well over 30 years

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Thanks buddy!

[@andrewellison1203]

Credit till you absolutely lovely video the way you the way you jumped into that watert to save that fish Absolutely credit to you never seen this before in my life ever seen this before in my life just shows what a true Fisherman you are you are

[@pauledmonds3249]

A man after my own heart...Down to the undies, jump in in April, show crack of arse to camera, use snapped landing net to land the fish, it just doesn't get any better. You legend.

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

I really underestimated how cold that water would be as well 😂. Thanks matey

[@martinsylvester1823]

🤣Top man Chris never a dull moment with you, bet you must ave stank when you got home....canal aroma 🤣

[@pmc1649]

Best fisherman on YT. Humble talented and great fun. Amazing Stuff!!!

[@mickhardstaff6605]

That was a very noble act to do for that fish Chris,. Even so it made my day, couldn't have happened to a nicer chap 😁😁😂😎

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Thanks buddy!

[@ianmaddams9577]

Total commitment there mate always looking after the welfare of the fish. Respect to you ✊🏻

[@mickyleachlover]

Once again it's hats off to you mate for going the extra mile for your love of fishing and for the fish themselves. I am certain that not every angler would strip off to their boxer shorts to rescue a carp caught in brambles. Nice one pal. I also think you are very lucky to fish waters that don't seem to have any ducks. As soon as I get bread out as a bait, you can bet that in no time at all I will be surrounded by ducks. Really enjoy your uploads and look forward to them. Well done.....

[@fokmertek]

ducks can be annoying, they take the bread even though it's unhealthy for them. what i usually do, is to put a sinker on the line, and bait the hook with the crust which is buoyant. ducks rarely notice, but fish will take it. it's not as exciting, as the topwater method, but works in duck infested waters.

[@michaeltribe6237]

@@fokmertek urban myth bread is fine for ducks and in some areas - ducks have been struggling through lack of food as bread had become a staple and missreporting meant people stopped feeding them

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Thanks mate! I just fish the areas without ducks. There's bloody loads round here I had to give a pass to at least two swims due to duck swarms while filming this video

[@herwigketelsen4934]

I'm from Germany but your videos are really great, I always watch them. Please keep it up and I hope there will be many more to come. I think your way of fishing is great. Well done, I wish everyone had enough respect, to make sure everything went well with the fish.

[@glennanderson7795]

Can you hear MY/OUR applause across the wind? I hope both you and tne carp meet again in a decade when the fish is a canal kipper in it's mid-teens (age & poundage) one of the finest recorded bits of careful, caring, committed (you should be!) angling most of us have ever seen Super film and thank you. VBW x P.S More💪 to your elbow!

[@andrewellison1203]

Brilliant Just shows you jumping in We'll have respect for the fish Credit to you🐬💯👍

[@Jaqxy]

Mate you are an absolute legend for going in and freeing that fish from the hook. Appreciate it.

[@carl3705]

Epic Bro good onya for "rescueing" the fish.

[@mervynwalsh7209]

Absolutely mad 😂😂😂 Good man Chris, great entertainment ❤

[@chrisgolfer7528]

Ripper mate, your sense of looking after nature is brilliant.

[@piyachetty3023]

Great stuff man that's a true fisher man never leave a fish in destress well done champ 🙏🙏🇿🇦🔥

[@paulthebeardedonedowning6820]

ha ha ha excellent session mate like you say a story to tell fair play on going in great vid

[@leegarner6013]

Awesome! Well done some cracking fish on the canal. What a carp to, stunning colours!

[@roblaw2850]

One main reasons I watch your channel and follow you is your go above and beyond for fish and fish care. I would Done exact same thing no matter how big or small our fish are they need looked after. Hand on heart I’d rather catch beautiful pristine carp like that from wild water than a 30lber from muddy commercial. I have no issues with commercial fishery’s we all need an easy day and saying that some commercial waters can be tricky but freelined piece bread or lobworm when stalked a fish in river or canal can’t beat it

[@JW82231]

Definitely one of the more memorable fishing videos I've seen on KZbin!

[@brianparker5228]

10/10 for effort as it would not have been humane to leave the fish in that situation. You will be rewarded i am sure

[@tonyscalise4462]

So cool that you fish and care about the fish and nature. You’re an excellent role model showing how to enjoy and respect nature. Great job!

[@phil3038]

Bet that shrivelled up the crown Jewels 🤣🤣🤣 Fair play and a great catch 👌👌

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Don't think they'll ever be the same 😂

[@Pugz_punny]

You're brilliant mate 👍. Watch these at night calms my depression and anxiety down so much. Sounds daft .. but thanks matey.

[@philburr4075]

Dedication that mate, and full respect for thinking of the fish so that others can enjoy them in years to come

[@stuwicks3670]

[@heyitsme6083]

Fantastic video mate and much respect for making sure. That carp wasn't left snagged up in the line and brambles 👍

[@korchannjoe5831]

I did use same method to fish for carp on small Loch at my home back in Czech. And also I had to get in to the water to free off snagged carp. But it was in summer time so water was fine😃 But there isn’t many fishermen who would go in water to free of fish from snag. I know only one man and now you😃 Well done man! Keep those nice videos rolling and tight lines!

[@mickgriffen322]

Good man Chris ,very brave of u going in and considerate. Well done 👍

[@plumpflower1993]

😂 hero, the level of care you show the fish is top notch - great role model for younger anglers. Loved the video as always
