River Ribble Monster Pike and Chub

[@stevenprescott4426]

I fished the Ribble for pike on the same week as you, but on a different stretch (although further downstream). I had no takes, but my Dad had lots of chub. Nice video from a great fisherman. Thanks.

[@PikerBiker]

steven prescott many thanks Steve! Hopefully our paths will cross on the bank and we can have a good natter!

Life with Ken and Jane in the house for another full view. Nice music! Perfect for beginning of this

[@baldvale5418]

I love the Mood that you set in your video's, it makes me feel like i'm right there. I have often wondered what jewel's this river held when i have drove across the bridge by the nature reserve. now you have answered my question. Thank you for sharing your great fishing moment's.

[@boulecoq1700]

Years ago on the bonsai stretch across I watched a young lad pull out a 25lb pike not more than ten feet out. I was gob smacked.

[@Deathst4lker]

Cracking vid and a really top pike mate - well done - and thanks for sharing :)

That was one stud Pike...awesome fish....stopping by from Marshall Hurts Channel

[@andyhoather3]

Hi What is the landing net and pole you have used in this video ?? Great pike by the way Thanks

[@PikerBiker]

Thanks buddy, I use the 3 meter long Shakespeare omni landing net pole, very light and the net I use is the Korum rubber mesh folding spoon in largest size

[@MooMooOutdoors]

What a monster pike! Nice chubs too. Congrats. 👍😀👍

[@PikerBiker]

MooMoo Outdoors thanks very much! Subscribed you back! Glad you liked the video

[@kazandy80]

That pike was an awesome fish and a great video. I have only caught one and it scarred the life out of me as it took a small roach I had on the pole believe it or not. Does your day ticket cover for night fishing as the majority of info I have on my wigan angling card is for no night fishing ??. Does anyone ever check, Bailiff etc. Great video 👍

[@PikerBiker]

Night fishing is permitted on free stretch, PAAS and RADAC club and day ticket. Day ticket for salmesbury ticket from tickled trout garage allows night fishing away from farm. Free stretch is by far the best pike fishing although the salmesbury area is a;so very good mate. Thanks very much for watching mate

[@jean-paulvanlee7435]

Good angler, Bert sporty

[@WaynJul]

You guys are inventing very creative ways to chum and catch fish on the same line.

[@marshallhurt8814]

Great video as always buddy, very beautiful spot there!Nice pike and chub fishing!

[@PikerBiker]

Marshall Hurt it is a wonderful place! I am truly blessed! Thanks for watching and supporting my videos mate

[@marshallhurt8814]

Thomas Macmillan I will try put on not this sunday shout out, but sunday after. I said alot of good stuff about your channel thou. Thanks so much for your support

[@marshallhurt8814]

Thomas Macmillan 👍

[@bobrobert4173]

so is it free fishing.??? .I have wondered with all the water and lakes they have there....I know 1 of the lakes is allowed to fish but wasnt sure about the river..cheers for the info..

[@leebussell1991]

Cracking video. Saw some of your other videos late last year and had to head up to the ribble and give it a go... had a cracking winter season. Is this the Prince Albert or Wigan daa stretch by any chance? I’ve only fished the day ticket stretch although I do have the Albert and Wigan cards. Top angling!

[@PikerBiker]

leebussell1991 Hi mate! Thanks for watching and the nice comment! Glad you had a great Winter on the Ribble. Great stuff! Where I fish is the Radac and Paas stretch mate. On the PAas bank. Looking forward to some fly fishing for the wild brown trout from this stretch! It’s a great bream water early season from June into July

[@leebussell1991]

Cooper Trooper hoping to give the PAAS stretch a go through the warmer months for the chub and barbel, saw a fella having a few barbel around the 10lb mark on the day ticket stretch. I’ve only fished it for the pike so far and had a 22lb 8oz fish out twice in a week (it’s on my profile) among quite a few other smaller fish. May see you on the bank and keep the videos coming

[@PikerBiker]

leebussell1991 that’s a lovely fish mate! I’m on Facebook as “Ian pikerbiker cooper” feel free to look me up! I put regular updates on there. You will not be disappointed in the warmers months. Great Barbel and Chub pegs

[@bobrobert4173]

just wondering is that stretch at brockholes wildlife park..???

[@salahaddin1890]

Beautiful pike, was it in the free stretch?

[@PikerBiker]

Not on the free stretch this time matey.

[@marshallhurt8814]

[@PikerBiker]

Marshall Hurt thanks Marshall! I am sorry, I must have missed it. Been very busy with work. I will give that a watch later mate! Much appreciated and thank you so very much!

2 nd watch and I love the song more. I am really enjoying your channel. Thank you. This is why I love you tube.

[@PikerBiker]

Thanks very very much!!!! I appreciate such lovely comments

[@stephengeoghegan-doughty.5870]

Hey Coop Nice video's, the Ribble is much richer than most just ignore it The thermometer you use, where can it be purchased, brilliant idea. Like the clothing choice, much better quality than most. Tight lines bud.

[@PikerBiker]

Hi Stephen, sorry my son must have liked and hearted your comment so I missed your question, I got the thermometer on eBay for about £2.50. We share the channel and he is my camera man! Thanks for watching our videos mate

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Lovely video matey 👍

[@PikerBiker]

Black Country Piker thanks very much

[@dazhutchy823]

Brilliant mate..ive done a few cold days this winter but rewarding whe n u get fish like that 😁

[@PikerBiker]

Darren Hutchinson thanks Darren! Certainly is worth every minute in the cold to catch a lovely fish. I will never forget this fish, the adrenaline after catching her warmed me up for hours! I had to take layers off. Thanks for watching mate

[@EliteBassStickFishing]

Awesome video!💯💪👊LET'S GO!!!

[@PikerBiker]

ELITE BASS STICK thanks very much! Tight lines!!!!!

[@samsungs-sh1wv]

Great video piker. Never caught a river pike but had one on reeling a roach in at the bonsai nursery years ago. How did you find the fight compared with barbel? I'd imagine barbel fight much better even though your pike was 17lb.

[@PikerBiker]

samsung s5 barbel go for prolonged runs but the River Pike fight hard under the rod tip and go for short runs, however, I find live baiting, the pike tend to fight harder on the first take. A different experience to the barbel but one that is just as enthralling! Thanks for watching as always!

[@samsungs-sh1wv]

I've not been fishing for a while. But got the bug again lately so started watching your videos again. I've put my name down for Prince Albert. I think it's about a 2 year waiting list at the moment. Does Prince Albert have more stretches on the ribble than RADAC do?

[@PikerBiker]

samsung s5 about the same mate, both have some excellent stretches

[@raycox3469]

Where was it.or a secret

[@JesusOteiza]

Nice video.

[@LifewithKenandJane]

Yup full view for a magic day. Dude where you get this great music?????? Somewhere I YT ??? I do my own music . Sucks hahahahah

Life with Ken and Jane thanks very much for your support

[@downtheriver5733]

Oright buddy can you put the comments that last video you put up I want to see what people have to say on the matter cheers

[@Michael-tq6xm]

My first and only ribble chub was 6lb 3oz, was so made up I kissed it when I released it.

[@PikerBiker]

That's awesome mate!

[@Michael-tq6xm]

Fluke I think.

[@PikerBiker]

@@Michael-tq6xm skill to land such a beautiful big fish, might be a while before you break that pb for the river or maybe this is the beginning of a giant catching career on the Ribble! Well done pal

[@Michael-tq6xm]

@@PikerBiker it was 1997 had just bought new mac Martin rod on way home from work with can of sweet corn. The river is though a magical place full of specimen fish. I've yet to catch a river pike.
