3LB, 4LB Then A 5LB!!! Best Lure Fishing For Flooded River Perch Video In The UK!!!!

[@dominickhan2607]

Don’t know where u claiming these sizes tho,? But nice fish nonetheless

[@baldvale5418]

Amazing catch dude but how do you/we know that it was 5lb ? Did you weigh it? If i caught it then i would want to know the weight of a fish of a life time.

[@SootySweepSue]

Perch Jesus - the only man to net a 3 & 4, beach a 5 and pull a bird all in one session.....top skills mate! 👌👌👌

[@jonjowood]

How have I only just found your channel? Great video from what seems like a great guy! Refreshingly humble and I can feel your genuine love for it. 👏🏻 best of luck with your moving to America - don’t let anything stop you mate. Now to go through all of your older stuff 😄

[@paulharris6886]

Amazing! James, you’ve certainly earned the right to be known as Perch Jesus. This is why I have followed you from the beginning. Awesome 👏👍

[@richardbawcombe8036]

I think the colds gone to your head man. Either that or you’ve got the worlds biggest hands

[@tadhghayden8440]

That's a bait for the mantelpiece. More.... sheer mastery than luck I would say....My kind of guerilla fishing!... awesome and inspiring!

[@JohnnysCafe_]

Thats awesome catching huge perch in town and i got to hear a fellow Aussie 🎣👍

[@steveakka]

Biggest fish maybe 3 1/2 pounds mate but cracking fish all the same..well done 👍👍

[@gazellis1961]

Wow came across this video by accident...unbeleivable monsters and what a session. Well done young man thanks for sharing.

[@chnchris]

What a pity that I didn't go lure perch fishing when I was in the UK, I will definitely go back for this one day.

[@Ttownanglers]

Cracking perch not sure it's a 5 tho need to weigh up bud either way that was a good session 👍

[@hairypiker]

It's a true miracle. Through the power and magic of KZbin, Jesus has turned a 3lb perch into a 5 pounder.

[@NetfishnChill]

🤣

[@brsmsic]

@@NetfishnChill what are you on about

[@brsmsic]

What are you on about

[@smileygoesfishing36]

days like this are very rare but well done and enjoy it -- they are some lovely big perch :)

[@r333wall]

What a fantastic start for 2023 for you and those magnificent perch. Thanks for sharing..

[@jks010101]

The pure essence of click bait! Guy must hand out the weekly Drennans too! 😂

[@GazEdwards8690]

Amazing nothing better that a big perch I have been chasing my PB of 3lb 6oz for about 20 years came close a few time and my mate I was with caught a 5lb 2oz just feet from me last year I felt like pushing him in.

[@jacop1996]

I found you a couple days ago. I really like the contect, keep it up. Love from sweden!

[@elwooddestiny11blues20]

Congratulations !!!! Awesome perch . A like from me . I just spent most of my sunday watching all your latest vids . My notifications for your channel was turned off which was strange . I didnt even know you was back . I turned the notifications back on now and wont be missing another . Glad to see you back . Looks like with avengeance too . Great stuff !!!

[@ManxKat]

Congratulations on some of your recent catches of perch and chub from the Upper Thames. I do have some issues though. I don't like the current trend with KZbinrs guessimating their fish: either weigh the fish or just say it's a decent fish and put it back (though I'd be more pleased if I knew what the weight was). I do find irresponsible to lure fish the Thames without a wire trace. It's not the greatest message to send young or beginner lure anglers. I know from experience pike can bite through even the thickest fluorocarbon trace. Third, fishing from bridges I find irresponsible (a folly - sorry for the pun) too. It's mainly the safety aspect I'm worried about. Again, I'm thinking of young anglers.

[@mrtropicalwalsh5114]

Get a life ffs Colin

[@dannyjspring]

I agree! In fact I was under the impression (was told this by a bailiff) that it's actually illegal to fish from bridges due to safety issues of both the angler and the fish.

[@destro1989]

Fuck what baliffs say. Life is too short. @@dannyjspring

[@Wolfyjinny]

Dude.......... some absolute bangers, what a cracking session, well happy for you.

[@sparks6057]

So great to see you back didnt realise you had started again from 2yrs ago i have you on subscribe and notification now again must have been knocked off by KZbin

[@TJ-ss1up]

The 4lber and 5lber must be coming in part 2. Saw a 2 a 2.5 and a mid 3. Cracking fish still. That last 1 probably be 4 if it had some belly to it, super long.

[@dannyjspring]

Agree. You can't just claim a weight without actually weighing the fish. Apart from that it's a decent vlog.

[@robdrew2745]

had a 2lb10oz off trent last week, was bigger than the first 3 he caught lol, weighed properly!!

[@mattlenton2012]

Bit of a dreamer....noy a chance he had a 4 and a 5.

[@richardbarrett4104]

I know how long it's taken you to get that massive fish James, as I followed you for years now. Congratulations on a fish of a lifetime buddy. Richard

[@AndrewFishman]

Nice fish, great fishing. My favourite fishing is for big redfin and carp on soft plastic lures. Here in Australia,both are considered pests, and most do not return then to the water.I however, just put them back for another day :)

[@shropshireladoutdoors743]

You put in the time and effort you get the rewards fantastic fish awsome angling

[@tombrunner8181]

Great fish No question👍 But the weight is very "euphoric" estimated

[@GeteP]

Quality. Nothing more beautiful than a big stripey. Top bombing pal.

[@tomopimip]

Bang on mate ! Well done !! Perch is my favorit fish !! getting nothing over half pound at moment .Need your wisdom !!

[@Matt-fk3zc]

They say Jesus could turn water into wine, but perch Jesus can turn 3lbers into 5lbers 😆(edit) this is light hearted fun, James has caught absolute monsters and makes big perch fishing look easy!

[@dannyharris3580]

Best comment 🤣🤣🤣

[@robmclemon7461]

Great fish them mate. A tip for the go pro tape a cheap disposal hand warmer to the case it works a treat.

[@shadowkitten4625]

Good fishing mate, love your style.

[@alf9638]

those are some mega perch....wow. what an epic day. awesome vid

[@thecambridgeshireangler7168]

One of the most impressive fish is a big Perch, the amount of times I've caught big Perch from the Great ouse only to weigh them and find they are way below what I thought. I don't weigh any fish now unless I think it's a PB Awesome video by the way

[@chnchris]

Yes, based on my fishing experience on bass fishing, the biggest one at most two and half, but amazing video, great job

[@pikerstutt]

Cracking angling matey, I am just downstream at Abingdon.

[@paddymccarthy3114]

well done lad. best wishes from ireland. keep up the enjoyable videos.

[@yamyamfishing]

Is there a part 2 & 3?

[@Joshutch1066]

Smashing it again mate cracking fish 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@oonisme]

I’m friends with your cousin. The accent is really funny good job

[@garyhammond1798]

5lb.....I bet you've got a 11 inch Hampton as well 😂😂😂

[@deividas_kimontas]

Great session mate!👌 Not sure about the weight though 😅

[@robdrew2745]

he should weigh them!! no way were the first ones anywhere near 3 pound,lol

[@kevindurcan7072]

Good Effort mate , getting out there and having a go really decent size Perch ❤️

[@mrrichierich9916]

😁🐟🐠🐡😎 I have decided that I have not seen any perch that big in over 30 years The last time I caught a quality fish like that wasn't Sutton coldfield park Full of various fish lots of carp tents and roach And mum's Poke Where I live right now in Cheltenham all the waterways are full of Trout Amongst the fish It's amazing when floods happened what you see I've seen some monster eels in my time as well But I'm quite sure when you go to America you are going to see a lot more monsters On a whole new level It's interesting to see what you do on KZbin tight lines

[@hairypiker]

WTF

[@robertwren8878]

He didn't weigh them ?

[@DrSiech]

Nice catch, but was it really necessary to have those fish so long out of the water? Please take more care! By the way, this lure is great, but osp dolive craw is the king ✌️

[@TheBudgie29]

I know were there Is pond full of Perch. And they must be this big, or bigger by now. Because of a Broken Hip, I can no longer get out there. Lovely Batch of big Perch. Welcome on a Freezing Morning.

[@NetfishnChill]

Nice fish man but get some scales or a measurement mat that will keep everyone happy 😄 you might even surprise yourself

[@stephendocherty6629]

Some absolutely beautiful perch pal 👌

[@leeramskill2683]

You are so lucky to have fish like that round us a two pound fish is a good fish, what weight rod are you using? Great video again keep

[@jkw27]

Awesome video, I live 2 mins down the road from here - some really nice Chub to be had round here as well! I usually go on the waggler where you rested the perch @5:25 although the flow has been too heavy recently for me!

[@johnnyd9441]

I'm not a lure fisherman at all but you certainly seem to know your stuff..they were some lovely perch my friend.👏👏👏

[@magpies77]

Doesn't know weight at all

[@jeffsmith50001]

Always throw the last inch of your Gregs Sausage Roll into the canal. And put Halibut Oil Capsules on the hook. Dont get distracted !

[@boxingfan2281]

Massive congratulations and thanks for sharing your memories with the rest of us. Appreciate the effort.

[@randomdude239]

Also thanks for sharing the spots ❤️, saved me lots of hard work.

[@colinreid3586]

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@russelhopkins545]

Utterly mega ! Youre a star , come to Sweden , here they fight like mad

[@jerryc3093]

We certainly don't have yellow perch like that in the states. That is awesome. Well done.

[@streetcat1510]

Really, well check out this ice fishing video - Biggest Perch ever caught on video?

[@Snarf_spike.]

Hi awesome perch and video and what's the weight of the tungsten thnx

[@somerandomperson8282]

Amazing dude was such a nice video to watch! What size offset hook were you using?

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

I saw the title and had a "come to Jesus" moment... 😅👍 Subbed & liked , mate !! From the Emerald Isle 😎👍☘🍺

[@robleary3353]

If you like large Perch and feel like a holiday, come to Melbourne Aus and fish some of our resevoirs!. Lot of mid sized, but! Some real stonkers on similar baits. Best was 7 pnd.... 🙂 Nuff said

[@colt5618]

If you don't weigh them, they are just big perch!

[@richardtruthconquersall9226]

Digital Scales for weighing luggage can be bought for £5 and a carrier bag if perch and you know the weight 👍🏻 I once lost a 60 at the net , how do I know , it had scales on its back

[@chazthefisher]

good old folly bridge. some little kid told me about the place and i went down there and caught my pb perch in 10 mins of being there 😂

[@petershelton2375]

Fantastic mate, what a fish well done, fish of a lifetime, great watch thankyou

[@-BOOMA-]

Nice fish mate but your weights are well out. I caught my pb at 3lb 10oz just before Christmas and I don't think any of those fish were bigger than that. No need to lie about weights dude you caught some lovely fish but if your gunna call them 4 or 5 pound perch you need to weigh them

[@whumarc]

Awesome! James, what bike is it you ride.?

[@rovingrods]

I was praying for you there buddy. Some astonishing stripeys. Loved the video. Well done👌🏁

[@tadhghayden8440]

Miracles !

[@albertnorth8955]

Brave the cold and its pays off. Congratulations living the videos

[@richiedd4119]

It's not that cold, water isn't even frozen.

[@silverclarke441]

What a beast well done

[@markward8216]

Quite right the best perch fishing video ever filmed

[@iamjd_7960]

I haven't seen you for years, since I quit FB glad I found you on here. Smashing sesh. Tight lines fella (Edit) instant sub! Well deserved 👏

[@mo2214]

Nice fish - but need to weigh them, as they're lighter than you think!

[@spyrothedragon2413]

Loving the content man, wondered if you could offer a bit of mainline choice advice! Last few sessions iv experienced some huge hits through the rod and by the time iv realised and struck into the fish it has already gone, I'm using a super sensitive tsurinoya pro flex 2 rod but straight through braid with a short fluorocarbon section? do you think fishing fluorocarbon straight through will offer a little more give in the setup? be interested to hear what you think. thank you

[@simonmansfield8925]

Amazing mate. You really are Jesus. Hallelujah

[@fishing9724]

Love it! I 24/7 lure fish same as love it. American bass is also my dream live in NW would like to fish the Tames looks rather 👍

[@bmxmrpower]

What is the model of this rod and casting reel? I'm looking for something like this. Great video!!!

[@allanmarshall4582]

Was this the Thames. Not long back from the grand union lure fishing. Mostly all frozen over. So a big blank.

[@Super_Lancashire]

Hi mate, just stumbled across your video. Really enjoyed your content. That's got to be the world's longest landing net. Some decent size Perch. Hope to see many more/ varieties to come.👍 #NewSubscriber

[@davidsmith4544]

Amazing session James, that will take some beating. All the best buddy, looking forward to seeing the next one, who knows you might round the season off with a thames 6, well we can but dream!

[@janosczovek8524]

Excellent video mate beautiful perch, mate if you don't mind me asking how do you plan moving to the USA do you have a job offer there thanks 👍

[@radleysmith7528]

Maybe fish that little river on the mexican border first a quick swim and u get to bcome a cop in California in no time

[@silksdetailing]

Good fishing but never anything over 3lb. Not to be a bad sport or put a downer on some good fish. Just keeping in perspective

[@grantelkin2510]

Congratulations you are the perch GOD!

[@tylertempah]

Wow amazing perch man

[@thomasgoude976]

Awsome mate! What landing net handle are you using?

[@leegarner6013]

Amazing perch them. Well done.

[@tmrussell1898]

I guess you were using a 3” maggot as bait?

[@jeffsmith50001]

All you need is 5 loafs. Halleluiah !

[@geoffc1580]

Mint fishing mate .

[@percher8percher873]

Well done mate, that there's a fish of a lifetime, ✌🏻✌🏻

[@thisthat2528]

[@mcfriter]

How can you follow that session? Great angling sir. The Kendo is a superb rod.

[@gee3883]

What a day, good on ya mate.

[@alanevans4232]

Awesome angling, well done and in such awful conditions. You just have to frame that lure for posterity

[@Listermintsluesh]

Stunning catches. 🎉

[@aydencaldwell2472]

So you extended a massive net out and struggled to then have to run to a part of water when you could be fishing there to begin with?

[@mattgoodchild8215]

Fantastic thank you 🎣🐳👍

[@ginge5168]

Can’t believe holding such a nice perch at waist height over the pavement and with no unhooking Matt underneath just unacceptable fish welfare and the unhooking of the first fish is just brutal scenes Nice perch though 👍🏻

[@Ironsmiler]

Flipping hell man! What a session.

[@Oho159]

Wow huge ones

[@antsfishing]

What's the Landing Net your using dude?
