It SLAMMED The Lure at My Feet! Biggest Of The Year!

Well I didn't expect this fish to slam it at my feet! This was one of the more exciting river sessions of the season so far. It started off with me falling off my bike and fracturing my toe, but ended up with plenty of action! The river was up slightly with all the rain and the bait to kick start the session was the spin head to create loads of movement to attract those pike out of the slack waters. After the river started to clear it was the more natural swim bait that stole the show landing me my biggest pike of the year so far!

I live near this guy and I'm always walking up and down the same canals and rivers with the dog looking for fish. Let me tell you, these waters are not easy to fish. Chris's ability to spot fish is about the best I've ever seen!

[@TheSpringerman]

I once spent a couple hours fishing on this river to no avail.Then Chris followed me down catching some fantastic perch and a nine pound pike from the exact swims I had just failed to catch in.He is a totally awesome angler,even so he will still gladly share his knowledge

[@spiderdog762]

Got to say, this channel gets better and better !!

[@colt5618]

Best channel on U tube by a long way, brilliant.

[@jerre0251]

I’m always amazed by the amount and size of fish that you catch. You can really spot the active fish in the current! I’m from Holland and we don’t have rivers like this. We still have humongous pike but its way harder to actually catch one, and youre catching them on lures! Cool to see the difference in countries, UK pikes are definitely more aggressive😂🙌🏼 great video!

[@lukescovell8294]

tbf I've fished in the UK for over 10 years now and this level of activity, size and success of pike fishing is incredibly rare. You'll notice that everyone in the comments is amazed

[@Zoltan1251]

@@lukescovell8294 exactly. Slovakia here. 8 trips for pike so far this fall on the live bait!!!!! Not a single bite. Just watching this after 2 day marathon on the big lake crying :D

[@xConoooR1]

5 in a day is my best and it’s also last time a caught which was fucking ages ago🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@paulmayne3216]

im not bragging, but most of the lakes or ponds i fish are all within 3 quarters of an hr from my house in n.ireland, they are mostly farmland lakes and throw fish at me all day. i fish a small lake that when in high water two guys go out on float tubes with the fly, and i see them slipping out of the lake and directly into a joining lake....i asked about catches!....they kept very quiet lol, so m friend and i done a night session.......turns out its full of big pike!, me and friend both had about half dozen pike each all around 19lb....and smallest being 13, most of them where all 17, 18, or 19lb....unbelievable little lake! you guys need to get a trip over here, and hook up with someone who knows the small secret lakes!🎣😏

[@Dan-jy5uf]

You dont wanna be in Romania, when it comes to pike fishing. Here, c&r is very rare, everybody is taking even the smaller pikes home. I’ve been more than once in the situation of “wtf are u doing releasing the pike?! If you don’t need it, give it to me!”.

[@michaelclark7456]

Niiiiiiiice!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the pike adventures!!!

[@ASHJBKH2]

Love it Chris, best fishing content on KZbin by a country mile 👌

[@randomdude239]

Walking, peddling and fishing all day with a broken toe ain’t no joke mate… you’re a proper trooper, and what an amazing session it turned out to be. The way you spotted that big pike, the thought process and perseverance to get it to bite were outstanding. Well done to you!

Awesome Chris! I love pike fishing! 💥🐊👍

[@RFT24]

Absolutely killing it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 what a session,well done mate

[@brianemlynsom1]

Excellent channel Chris. I'm completely hooked on your style of "in the moment" presentation. No more sitting around for hours watching a float for me.I'll be seeking out the fish next session. Cheers mate, keep up the great work.

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Thanks buddy and good luck with your next session

[@frankjohnston2048]

Well done Chris, well jealous mate. Such small waters such beautiful fish.

[@mickyleachlover]

Hey fella another really interesting video and a great amount of action to be seen once again. I think you may have to rest that foot for a while! the fish at least will be pretty pleased about that, I'm sure. I never fail to enjoy your uploads and will continue to look forward to seeing another one again as soon as you are out and about. Take it easy and thanks for posting.

[@ashleyrogers4206]

[@michaelmcgill5633]

Nice one Chris love these videos!!

[@the_armchair_fisherman]

Absolute trooper nailing thrm stunners with a bost toe. Well in 👍👍👍

[@lesliecrowther7004]

Yet again more stonking fish on the bank, you certainly do have some absolutely awesome days fishing your neck of the woods, wherever that might be, fishing bare foot ? Different, dedication I guess. Some of the lures you have been using look so ungainly and awkward some might think what the heck ??? But, they do actually put fish on the bank. Good to see such querky baits being used and producing. Keep them coming Chris.

[@MrMuffydiver1]

Well done ginger....very entertaining 👏👏👏

[@droneliferichards522]

Great to see the swimming action of the lures under water nice touch 👍

[@karlpearson8032]

Cracking video once again Chris, I am quite surprised more people don’t try sight fishing and using a lure, because it’s active and there’s no better feeling when you hook up and land a fish you’ve spotted whatever type of fishing you do.

[@tariqaslam1853]

What a session bro, unreal. Thanks for sharing, top quality fish.

[@leoblackburn3597]

Good session - well done (to toe the line).

[@Spiceoflife476]

The rivers up North look lovely, down here in the south most are riddled with Pennywort. Great fishing btw.

[@needham831]

Another terrific vid Chris and I totally agreed with you on first sight of that beautiful best of the season for you so far. That looked much bigger than 16lb! What a fish though. In fact, what a brace with that last fish too. Excellent sport. Oh...and I noticed all the teeth marks on that Spinner bait when you held it close to the camera. That has been crushed more than a few times.☺

[@sandorkovacs9271]

holy shit bro. at 6:49 the pike came up like a U boat. bloody awesome that was, well done lad, nice fishing. you defo put the effort in and deserve all the rewards.

[@quade7024]

my respect for you and other sportsfisherman that honor the catch and release approach - tired of hearing "its a keeper" Kudos

[@tadhghayden8440]

That big fish will get even bigger looking at its build...fine pike.......rivers always surprise.....good fishing...worth the nettles n brambles

[@anglerjoey3181]

Huuuugggeee clip when the pike attacked your big shad 🔥🔥 keep going mate 👍

[@philwren1749]

Fantastic as always Chris and some lovely Pike - but still wading in the river with a fractured foot 😂😂

[@timmonapier8832]

That's real commitment going shoeless in the river with a broken toe! That Pike was fatter than me after Xmas. Thanks for sharing.

[@timmonapier8832]

Thanks for being on the prize list but please pass that on to someone else, just happy watching the vids! Thanking you again, Timmo

[@jonathanblote]

just came back from a pike fishing trip in friesland (Netherlands) with my dad, never expected to catch 15 pikes in 3 days at the end of october. also caught a PB of 103 cm on a savage gear pikefighter. anyway love the videos mate keep up those positive vibes and most importantly keep fishing :)

[@simdal3088]

noice, friesland has some huge pike. I always have succes with spinners near the meadows and cows hehe. Those smaller waters hold some true monsters.

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

That's awesome buddy congrats on the pb!

[@jonathanblote]

@@simdal3088 indeed they do as ive now experienced, me and my dad having been visiting the same spot each year since 07 and we have never had a "bad" weekend yet.

What’s the jig you used called?
