[@YOURFISHINGCHANNEL]

looks good fishing

[@petergalloway7978]

Interesting and very informative video watercraft and techniques excellent but sorry l don’ agree with putting barbel in keepnets

[@londonladjeff3575]

first time l have seen anyone put Barbel in a keep net, is that right ?

[@aghtu]

Does Shakespeare have some fine, tune, heavy feeder rod? This brand is likeable, but I just met with low level rods....

[@bizbizley]

Before you put a hook length on use a rolling lead to find the deepest spot. That’s where the fish will be.

[@northbaseuk882]

These days anglers consider putting barbel in a keepnet mishandling them, and difficult to justify when not in a match - there's no need to show them off as a trophy at the end of a session when we can simply unhook them, rest them in the landing net, photograph/weigh and return them (in that order).

[@davevincent3212]

thanks for that rig James, rods look amazing , btw what weight can you chuck out?

[@MihaMiha-ev1qk]

Вы молодец!!!!!

[@andrewpartington8642]

So you keep your rod high to keep as much line out of the water as possible, then pay out a massive bow of line into the river? I see

[@theRamb1er]

You want the line near the feeder to be pointing downstream because that means you need less lead on the feeder to hold bottom. You want the line near the rod to be out of the water otherwise the tip will be bent double and you won’t see the bites.

[@richardburns5925]

Yes I do, I also use just enough lead to hold bottom, no more. I'll alter my hooklengths as well, between a foot to 4 foot.

[@stuartcrossland1746]

Never put Barbel in a keepnet.Unless its a match.

[@northbaseuk882]

OR just weigh them and return them? Match or not?

[@terrycourt123]

Wouldn’t put him in a keep net just wrong

[@chrisguygeezer]

and how to unceremoniously drop your fish into the keepnet (no place for barbel, that's for sure).

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

i know couldnt they get someone to come round to every angler every ten mins or so and weigh what they have so far and just keep doing that, then the fish would be netted for 10 mins max unless you are livebaiting the use of a keepnet is pretty pointless, its like you arent fishing for the enjoyment but to add to a score card

[@chrisguygeezer]

It's not even a competition, so why the need to drop these lovely fish in a keepnet is beyond me. We've seen the fish, caught and landed. Barbel need a short time to recover after the fight they put up, so dropping them straight into a keepnet who knows whether they have recovered or just gone belly up in the end of the net. We barbel anglers have all witnessed barbel floating by on the river, belly up, sometime or other. I really enjoy James's videos generally but, sometimes the fishes welfare seems secondary to the actual catching of.

[@girthyyobo1554]

chris guy well what are you gonna do, sit down shut up, enjoy the video

[@jamesduffy7549]

you describe it as a "lovely" barbel then put it in a keepnet, you're clearly not concerned that it stays "lovely"

[@johnarcher1406]

Didn’t have to drop that chub in like that alll the water going back through its gills

[@bradders15]

Disgusts me to see barbel put in a keepnet.

[@greatsportb5376]

where are the tips

[@Enpassantful]

This is not how you handle barbel, you should let them rest in the landing net first, and never keep them in a keepnet.

[@briandouglas4964]

Why put the barbel in a keep net

[@paulm3040]

Cos he’s a numpty

[@kenanisakovic7204]

bla bla blaaaaaa

[@stephenisom6089]

[@robbo01100]

Watched the first 5 mins, that was enough! Why use a keep net and don’t want to see a vid of a woman walking over a bridge! Pretty corporate trash!!
