Fishing Tales Season 3, Ep 3, 'The Prince, the Duke and the Eel '

A special corona virus busting episode of Fishing Tales! I put this one together from the archive and the footage has never been seen before. It's me and the Duke at our bumbling best and if ever there was a classic episode of Fishing Tales, this is it!
Hope you enjoy this - it might be fairly short but they take quite a time to put together. Pls subscribe. Stay Safe! MH

I can't be the only person that wants to see these two back on the TV??

[@benreesjones6570]

Yep

[@chrisprobert6]

Nothing seems normal at the moment. Except for seeing the dynamic duo fishing and catching. Thank you guys you are both living legends.👍

[@MattHayesfish]

Nice one Chris - thanks!

[@premierpilot]

How have I not seen this before ??? Fantastic stuff as always Matt.

[@LeroyMcEvoy]

Thanks for the videos Matt. You probably make the best quality films out there in fairness. Been a life long fan. All the best, Leroy.

[@MattHayesfish]

Thanks Leroy. These little films take ages to put together because of the combination of soundtracks, voiceover etc., etc., I script it first, mapping out the story after spending hours watching the footage and labeling it. Then I make the basic edit. After that its endless tweaks and adjustments before colour grading, adding voiceover, graphics and then captions! Your response makes it all worthwhile, mate!

[@LeroyMcEvoy]

@@MattHayesfish your hard work shows. It's a cut above the rest I think. Long may you make them as its of great benefit to all us fans 👍🙏

[@alisonmez6713]

Awesome amazing beautiful people amazing beautiful places

[@stephenarmstrong6620]

Another brilliant vid with the best duo ever, thanks for all the year’s you’ve brought a smile to my face

[@MattHayesfish]

It’s a pleasure Stephen!

[@grahamnash9794]

Unlike the river, the gentle pace of this video is great for calming the stressful atmosphere of an ever crowded abode. Thanks Matt & Mick. Come back quick with another.

[@MattHayesfish]

That’s the idea, Graham.

[@dancolukdc]

Brilliant

[@Ironsmiler]

Been trying 20 odd years for a Barbel like that, and the Duke of Hazzard lands one in 2 flipping minutes!! 🤣

[@grahamcockings4280]

Another great video gentlemen. Just what we need when we can’t get out on the bank and keep us dreaming of the time when we can. Stay safe yourself.

[@MattHayesfish]

Cheers Graham!

[@mattwooldridge6300]

I’ll be watching this later at work I’m sure it will be as funny and great as ever

[@MattHayesfish]

Thanks and stay safe!

[@callumrook2427]

Brilliant footage lads keep it up !!

[@MattHayesfish]

Cheers Callum!

[@callumrook2427]

Matt Hayes no worries Matt I’ve watched you on the telly since I was about ten years old all the first total fishing series and the rod races were my favourites !

[@fishingrodz3216]

Simple fishing is often the best viewing. Just two mates, enjoying the outdoors and catching a couple of fish. Cracking.

[@MattHayesfish]

Thanks! That's how we see it too!

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Another lovely short tale gents 👍

[@southwalesoutdoors3215]

There's always one, why the actual …....... would you watch this and not like it? Great video from 2 leg ends! 😃

[@MattHayesfish]

There always is, isn’t there 🙄

[@xix94]

Love the show matt

[@marklamude2355]

Superb

[@andyprest]

Keep safe fellas, good vid again Matt enjoyed it, we've all done that with our tea 🤣 burns thee old chin, did Mick catch a few big pike this winter ? I know he told me a while back he doesn't go as much as he used to. Would be great to see you guys put a 3part dvd series together for pike, dead baiting, live baiting & lure fishing, in depth watercraft & tactics 👍👍

[@MattHayesfish]

Hi Andy and thanks. There is a deadbaiting film out in this season of Fishing Tales (ep 2) and I have a legering deadbaits film in the can.

[@richardheys6043]

Cheers boys. All smiles again 👍🤓🎣 mind how you go

[@seandarcy9684]

Isn’t your old man a bailiff on that stretch ? If so a very enjoyable man to spend time with . Nice video . Bastard eels :-) TL

[@MattHayesfish]

Not any more. The duck shooting has got out of hand. No one goes there any more. 🙁

[@seandarcy9684]

Matt Hayes .. Sorry to hear this . There was lots of shooting on the other bank the couple of times I’ve fished there . Your old man was there when my mate caught a nice double . Think someone has some photos .

[@jimbence7698]

Great video wish they were longer, keep safe both

[@MattHayesfish]

Thanks Jim. You know, its surprising but I have made some longer stuff recently (the podcasts) but the average viewing time is always waynshort of the full length of the film. It's a tricky one but even this short film takes three days to put together. They are little postcards, really. I love doing them.

[@stevenwilson7665]

Why is this you tube channel not bigger . 2 old time greats

[@RudeFish33]

Please tell me another episode will be on soon... Got me itching now Matt haha

[@grahamobrien69alldtime]

🎣👌💯🇮🇪

[@vk_6915]

Nice one, just found your channel a couple of weeks ago. That was good to watch and take your mind off these strange times. Any tench videos? Please!!!!

[@MattHayesfish]

I wish. We were due to make one in a few weeks time but its looking unlikely now...

[@vk_6915]

Matt Hayes I thought I might get my tench fix🤣👍was looking forward to spring tench all winter!

[@benreesjones6570]

Please. Come back on tv I've watched every video you've made to my knowledge multiple times you 2 are awsome

[@BushcraftJones]

Love the new videos. Any chance we get some trout videos from Norway when summer is over? Har leita lenge etter "govannet" som du og Anders var på i fisching episode nr. 7, men har enda ikke funnet det 😆

[@MattHayesfish]

Ha ha! Great call Jonas. Hopefully I will be filming with Andy some more this summer! We made the stuff you have seen a few years ago. It was great fun.

[@LeroyMcEvoy]

Good music

[@MattHayesfish]

Thanks Leroy!

[@TheElektroskate]

Good video 👍 Anyone seen Matts castaways series ? It’s fricking amazing going to watch another tonight.

[@MattHayesfish]

Thanks - Castaways is a really nice series featuring me and Babs Kijewski in Ontario. We caught some amazing fish. Glad you like the stuff!

[@TheElektroskate]

@@MattHayesfish 👍Yep that's the one, some nice fish caught and the scenery is stunning as well. Stay safe

[@paulcole4902]

Are you and Mick going to do another fishing series soon

[@doubles6508]

Are the subtitles for people who don't speak brummie?

[@MattHayesfish]

Ha ha! Don’t know whether they are a good thing. More views with them though..

[@kriskarrouze9079]

Hi Matty, just wondering if you had any thing in the pipeline with jan porter or gordy burton the piking pirate, glad you back on the screen,

[@MattHayesfish]

Hi Kris. Sadly Jan died a few years back and I don't know about Gord.

[@kriskarrouze9079]

@@MattHayesfish Sorry i didnt know, i met him a few times at shows, i was the bailiff at wintons fishery and done the stall at shows, we had a few laughs, one of the good guys.

[@xix94]

Where's Matt's jacket from ?

[@TheRealColt]

Lovely but does it not knock people sick to think the charges, regulations and licensing involved. As Mick said it is mans fault the eel is dwindling in numbers.... I’ve seen pictures of the rivers being netting side to side catching thousands of eel in a day. Why is it passionate anglers like me have to pay for the stupid unsustainable mistakes of old. I’d love to go out and have a fish in nature but poor people like me are deterred or out in a position to poach because the stupid government has made fishing exclusively a rich mans sport. In days of old it was a way of life. Need I remind people the government had an act out into place in the early 20th century to fill in hundred of thousands of farmland ponds..... what was the reasoning for that then?

[@pirththee]

Great vid.I'm keeping safe and practicing social distancing. I sling my AK47 on my back ,(legal here),and you can't believe how fast people give you the right away.Stay safe.

[@MattHayesfish]

Thanks for watching and stay safe too!

[@angeldust1604666]

Brilliant as always watching in bed as usual love you Mr H ❤️ xxx
