I Never Believed this would happen on a $4-99 Fishing Rod!

[@MrJc201222]

What a fish , you impress me every week lol

[@wildrose7546]

This is up there, as a TA Fishing classic . That Grass Carp on a 4.99 rod - you really couldn't make it up!

[@TAFishing]

Its only really a bait rod meant for catching Pinfish which we use as livebaits for Tarpon, and Pinfish are about 5 inches long...

[@foylad4862]

Fantastic session mate 🎣 thanks for sharing ❤

[@justinsteel6360]

Proof you don’t need all the expensive rods and crap they keep trying to sell us. 😎👍👌

[@ElToro2000UK]

Years ago, the Chinese in London used to use a baked beans tin and a line wrapped around it to catch fish from the bridges.

[@peterream9437]

Even if you didn't catch anything, just to hear all that bird song would do it for me. Lovely venue Greame and a cracking days fishing.

[@TAFishing]

It is a nice lake on a good weather day.

[@condor1961]

Fantastic video Graham and a cracking grass carp. I really enjoyed that video. 👍👍

[@arronfrost2872]

That was an epic fish on any rod.Well done big G .

[@jonathanluce9130]

Man gets towed to shore by fish 😂 you certainly tested the clutch on that one!

[@KevinKevin-pw2lx]

Wow top catch excellent 👍

[@Walsallgrower]

What an excellent day on the water Graeme, some great shots of the classic pike tail walking and what about that Grass carp! You must have dropped that straight onto it's nose...

[@jamesb99]

That's a session and a half well done. Tackle tarts take note you don't need to pay a fortune to by tackle! Thank you Graham.

[@chrisprobert6]

Epic session Mr Pullen. It seems the famous filter feeders, are evolving. Practicing being omnivore, and missed target. Haha👍

[@MrAlphafang]

What a venue and what a session well done Mr Pullen.

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

Most of my gear was bought from Kmart! Some of the greatest fun that I've had while fishing has been with cheap "garbage" I've bought there. I've owned and still have some very nice combos that cost quite a bit, but when it comes down to a quite session among the weeds, I'll pick out my cheapos most of the time. People : "Carp won't take lures!" Me : "Uh yeah, okay".

[@davidjones1151]

that was an awesome grass carp graeme, well done pal. 👍

Love it thanks Graeme.

Yet another great vidio ty Graham

Another great watch you smashed it again

Another enjoyable video. Great work

[@Codeagles1]

What a session

[@Slikx666]

Back in a boat being happy. 😁

[@TAFishing]

Very true,I do like being out alone on a boat.Freshwater or sea,it doesn't matter. I guess its the freedom.

[@sambick7644]

I love a good cheap rod, my 8 year old has a little 4 ft go outdoors special (day-go yellow).😅 . A Pike kept taking small Dace he was catching, I clipped a size 4 hook onto a trace, hooked a section of Dace he’d managed to pull free from the vice like grip of said Pike, flicked it into the abyss of our local canal… one hell of a battle took place for roughly 15 minutes, the result was a gobsmacked little boy. (my son was also speechless)😂 a 7lb 8oz Pike on the bank. And probably some happy Dace.

[@paulAnthony7236]

Hopefully you didn't kill it

[@sambick7644]

@@paulAnthony7236 the Pike went back safe and sound, the Dace on the other hand… he’s seen better days.

[@fishingwithtednfamily]

Awesome Graham 👍🙏🖖

[@ian98244]

Another great video Graham and that Carp. What an incredible fish to catch on a lure, especially as they're supposed to be herbivores 🤣 Tight lines mate 🎣

[@carltrollope1192]

Catch of the year🎉🎉🎉

[@gymbruh1824]

That's a dream day top g ❤🎉

[@johnbemister1508]

I think you need a bigger net Graham 😊

[@Coxeysbodgering]

19:07 2nd decent natural pike not a predatory "carp tart" over feed on chemicals. I gave up course fishing 25 years ago including fly, though I was trying to swff but lost my reels rod and fresh water fly's, some I even tied. I've been toying with getting a used heavy fly set up for SWFF now you increased that idea with going back to fresh fly for the pike, thank you

[@Coxeysbodgering]

You wouldn't get "tarpan" like sport with the carp tart guts on pike in most fisheries. Have you ever had smoked pike? It's delicious, my grandfather was a fishery warden for a river and reservoir every few years they would stun the river to remove predators and rainbow trout. Those with nowhere to be rehomed where sent to our game dealer and smoked. If you are chub fishing a river or pond consider slugs as bait the big black and orange ones are deadly or were for me as a kid 30 years ago.

[@BrianTunnacliffe]

what a result as you would say

[@cgamejewels]

if anyone can catch a pike on a fly, it's definitely you, Graeme.

[@ElToro2000UK]

Hello Graeme, I love your videos (I see you as the Jimmy Hill of Fishing) and your humour! Please, next year, could you record some videos in Co. Galway, fishing over there for Salmon and Trout? They do have a problem there with Pike, which is seen as an invasive species there. There has been a crackdown over the years on French Anglers, who bring their own livebait over from France to Ireland and releasing many of the French fish into Irish waters.

[@TAFishing]

I never realised that they bring their own livebait ?. Last thing you need is yet another invasive species taking grip on a fishery.

[@paddyfromireland9277]

Graeme " the fish whisperer"

[@MACKTENMEDIA1]

One eyed jack

[@paddyfromireland9277]

Graeme, have you ever tried a bendback fly? They are very good for weed. Hook rides point up and point is covered with hair or feathers.

[@TAFishing]

I have yet to try those,but I have used them with a piece of stiffer nylon that is whipped on beneath the eye and trails to just over the hook point to act as weedless. In fairness I don't do a whole lot of fly fishing for Pike.

[@Dadas0560]

With carp like that, there's got to be much bigger pike, like 40 LBS plus...

[@TAFishing]

I have yet to touch any bigger Pike,and I have had a lot from there. Of course there could be a lunker in there,maybe big deadbaits might sort the bigger fish out.

[@Dadas0560]

@@TAFishing Once in my life I was fishing with my father on a water reservoir lake near Madrit in Spain. There are 4 such reservoirs and you need a special permit to fish there. Basically they are full of carp, and huge pike. My father caught a 40 lbs one, and I was playing with the carp...

[@АндрианКозин]

[@marklanahan7289]

All the fish care about is the bait.

[@crvnmrhd]

Fantastic Graeme! I started watching your channel close to 10 years ago for the Pike fishing, and hoped you would get around to Fly fishing for them. Glad to see your success at it! Now if we could get another Row Trolling video 😊

[@TAFishing]

Might be on the cards,just need the weed to die back a bit.
