LURE BATTLE - Episode 2 - Adam Jones (Shimano) vs Rafal Chlebek (Wildcard Winner)

[@TheIllustratedAngler]

Great episode lads. People who’ve never done it will not understand how hard it is to stand in front of that camera! And Rafal performed fantastically! Huge well done!

[@predatorhunter3162]

Thanks a lot 🤜🤛

[@rpgpuffer361]

I love this format, the 1v1 battles feels a lot more personal, and you get great insight into the thoughts of the competitors

[@predatorhunter3162]

That perch on the last minutes 😢 Great comp I'm glad to get the opportunity to took part of it 💪

[@predatortackle]

Was a pleasure to have you!

It stayed there a long time! Good luck charm?

[@Richard_Haggath]

i spotted that and just wondered why the camera dude never told him lol.

It was having a great time 🤣🤣🤣

What a hard day. Great to fish against Rafal. God I would have loved a 40+ perch but thats fishing ay!! 👊

@Watercraftfishingtv it will be really nice 👌

[@sedgy87]

Well done lads some great hard fishing 👍🏼

[@johnbaalham1305]

Another great episode, really well done to the wildcard Rafal who came across really well and was really unlucky at the end dropping those last few fish. Congratulations Adam on the W and what an exciting battle to come with Ash. Tight lines everyone 🎣

[@predatortackle]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Louis99Askew]

Loving this new series

[@predatortackle]

Glad to hear it!

[@AlanPhillips-p5y]

Well done Adam . That’s real fishing right there .

[@rsturb01984]

Real fishing are you serious 😂 using tec I wouldn't call that real fishing 🙈 rafal was the real fisherman in this 💯

[@sme70]

Nice show to watch. Having a boat and fish finder has got to be a big advantage. 🤷🎣👍

[@predatortackle]

Not necessarily, sometimes you can be so locked into the screen that you miss other signs on the water.

[@James.grahamEFC]

Dont agree with the use of sonar and a 10 grand boat this is the U.K not U.S all should be equal.

[@bickleysanglingadventures5866]

Agreed, would be nice to see everyone on a level playing field, but if its not in the rules, and you have it, you would be stupid not to use it

[@Blankblankerson440]

I think it should be done like fly vs jerk where they do boat days and bank days would make for a much better watch

[@markevansangling]

Ash Costa won the last round on foot with no tech against a boat with tech.

[@predatortackle]

He wishes it was only 10k! It's a lovely boat.

[@James.grahamEFC]

@@predatortackle yeah maybe just the sonar👍

[@wishforthefish2485]

Yesser love these keep them coming 💪🎣

[@Semi-Pro-DD]

Shame both anglers did catch some larger fish, those Norfolk Perch had some great colours too 👌🏻, well fished Rafal you came across very well for maybe your first time in front of the Camera? You never know what’s round the corner. Congratulations to Adam on the win, looking forward to remaining episodes 🐊🐊👊🏻👊🏻.

[@matthewward5892]

Great match well done to the both of you

[@MarkSmith-zg9mb]

This one felt personal, I fish where rafal went and I’ve even spoke to the guy on his bike that spoke to rafal. Loving this series guys, come on Ash Costa for the win 🥇

[@skymag2247]

Great work dave and the team at predator tackle uk's number one! 👍🎣

Great TV I hope Adam goes on to win this? He has ginger hair so is owed some luck🤗🎣

Very hard session, Well done Adam very unlucky Rafał it is what it is very hard day any one could of gone through to the semi finale, i am looking forward to next weeks pair of anglers bring it on.

Awesome round!

Great to hear you back Dan pity your last channel isnt what it was. Is dan now part of predator tackle?

[@Richard_Haggath]

2 legs down and 2 great episodes. Makes me feel more human when I see the "pro's" struggling too loo.

[@predatortackle]

We're all human!

[@leeramskill2683]

Rafal came across well, Adam always does shame someone had to loose, extremes in terms resources but interesting watch

[@robtaylor9782]

Love the series, format etc hopefully it’s not a 1 series wonder and comes back next year. Would love to see a qualifying tournament televised n more wildcards qualifying Sonar……. Has its place in fishing (on trawlers 😂) but not competition fishing imo but brilliant series

[@PredatorTeamSco]

Bank fishing against boat fishing loaded full of electronics is no right

[@predatortackle]

Yet episode one, bank beat boat! This show showcases a variety of lure angling in the UK rather than being all bank or all boat, and the anglers themselves chose where and how they wish to fish.

[@Waynecarr99]

Ash and Andy in the final would be mega to watch, hope it ends up with them two last

[@JimboBallbags]

Is andy any good without his boat tho? 100% of kayakers say no

[@alexshipley8975]

Tune in for the next round folks, where Adam Jones will be using a trawler......

[@Onthehill-e1h]

This competition is some kind of joke right? You could have trimmed it down to 15 minutes with the amount of actual content there is. A guy on the bank vs a guy on a 40k plus boat with all the trim 😂

[@markevansangling]

And in the last round the boat with all the tech lost to someone on foot.

[@gbadge9275]

Lure fishermen are like human Swiss army knives

[@predatortackle]

Gadgets everywhere!

[@barriebland8765]

I can't understand how you can call this a fair competition ? The Norfolk broads is a prolific water. You let someone fish in a boat with is armed with all the bells and whistles. That is definitely not a fair competition. Rafael was robbed

[@SootySweepSue]

Ash Costa beat Adam Seeley who was on the Trent and had all the bells and whistles on his boat. But I agree, it should be the same rules for everyone - unlike YPC when ginger bollocks clearly broke rules but was allowed to because he had a KZbin channel and they wanted him to purely use him for promotion! At least there are decent anglers in this comp who are there on merit and not because of their KZbin channel. Well all but one, who’s shite!!😂

[@BrizoH]

@@SootySweepSue how did he break the rules ? I can't remember that ...

[@predatortackle]

All anglers were free to choose where and how they fish, this allows us to show a wide variety of lure angling in the UK rather than everyone doing the same thing each week ✌🏻✌🏻

[@barriebland8765]

@@BrizoH I didn't say he broke the rules

[@BrizoH]

You said unlike ypc when ginger bollocks broke the rules …

[@PegasusBridge1]

How come the cameraman missed the pike? I can understand them not getting the hook up- but surely they would get the measure etc?

[@predatortackle]

It was filmed but the footage was unfortunately lost, all has been remedied now. Hope you enjoy!

[@PegasusBridge1]

@ ah fair enough, thanks for the reply 👍

[@rogerjames6956]

Forward sonar, are you sure, joke?

[@predatortackle]

A very useful tool, but it doesn't always guarantee success!

[@Blankblankerson440]

I love the series but the presenter is so dull 🤣 can you not get somone abit less depressed to do the commentary the characters make the show hence why fly vs jerk is so good.

[@po6795]

not enough fishing and too much talking for me. please change the commentator making me want to fall asleep. needs someone with enthusiasm

[@predatortackle]

This is our first go at this and he has never done voice over before, bare with us, everyone starts somewhere 💪🏻

[@rogerjames6956]

wannabe bass fishermen, just an add for product!!!

[@predatortackle]

I'm sure he'd love to be a pro bass fisherman! Wouldn't we all. But this is the joy of angling, we are all free to seek enjoyment from it whichever way suits us best.

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

😂😂😂

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

​@@predatortackle can you imagine! I'm fine being a perch fisherman though. Bank, boat either are great fun when you are catching big Perch!! 🙌

[@rsturb01984]

Pro anglers should be setting an example of fish care by at least using padded unhooking mats Adam about killing a perch jumping about all over his boat 🙈

[@FishingWithBradders]

The entire floor of Adam's boat is EVA foam lined, if it was metal I'm sure he'd be using a mat.

[@lucashood595]

Don't preach about fish care when you own animals who's sole purpose is to kill other animals. Percy the Perch is in better knick after that bounce on a foam deck than the 40,000 rabbits ferreted to death in your display pic. Rabbits make a lovely sound when they're being killed don't they? Oh wait...

[@predatortackle]

Accidents happen, sometimes we lose our grip as a fish flops or it drops off the hook as we land it, but not to worry too much, Adam's boat has a soft EVA floor, were it metal, rough carpet or a concrete/stone bank he'd certainly use a mat.
