Slaying River Pigs With These Floating Creature Baits! (Unexpected big catch)

This was my first time out using floating creature baits. Its safe to say I'm sold! I hit the local river / creek hunting big perch with the obvious chance of pike and maybe even chub on the cards. I started off in an urban area then worked my way downstream hitting all the slack waters and snags. My focus was overhanging trees and dying reed beds in search of some river pigs! It was an action packed session with some real nice fish caught landing all three predators that hunt in this waterway!

Oh my word, what a session!. Stunning fish, huge Perch, a lovely dark Chub & then that Pike - wow. The underwater footage could have come from an Attenborough documentary & the the editing to upload just absolutely amazing. Your personality on vlogs screams out for a tv series Chris - are you listening BBC!

You are a true master of your craft. Always hugely entertaining and informative, this is the closest you can get to going fishing without being on the bank.

[@tomheaven4623]

Really enjoyed this one. I thought the underwater pike take was amazing. You’re really talented as this mate. Your videos are really uplifting.

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Thanks buddy

[@gutigrant5421]

Totally agree with Tom... just get rid of the added music... might check back in a few months.

[@andrewwarburton3943]

Jeezo, you have an unnerving habit of making me feel terribly inadequate in the angling department.! Superb footage as usual buddy. 👏

[@carlbudd341]

Fella your videos have inspired me getting back on the bank,so bought all the stuff take my grandson fishing on the cheap.i love making my own imitation lures thank you fella.

[@carlbudd341]

[@robertsuch3614]

Great stuff Chris, that Pike was awesome. Cracks me up how you go fishing wearing white trainers, lol 👍🏼😆🐟🐟🐟

Missus wasn't pleased 😂

[@cougar1861]

Great way to end a session! I really liked the underwater scenes.

[@TheBudgie29]

6:36 A homeless person has been burgled. Lovely session again Chris. A big Pike Is always a welcome bonus on a winters day.

[@systemsky7921]

Awesome video as always! Would just like to say a huge thank you to Chris and this channel, started having a go at lure fishing last Oct, I got alot of my info and setups off this channel.... I caught my first ever jack pike today, to say I was chuffed to bits is an understatement,what a feeling! Hope there's many many more to come.

[@mictaylor9531]

Awesome as always Chris! 🍻👌🏻

[@bosco292]

Sensational underwater footage and timing, 👏 well done 👏 ✔️ superb predator angling especially in such a shallow stretch of river, lucky you had 15 lbs fluorocarbon leader on for the hungry Pike! 😀

[@Zombie-fb5zf]

[@baldvale5418]

What an amazing haul of fish, Those Perch were really special especially as they came from such a small venue.

[@Stevie6962]

[@heyitsme6083]

Great session on the river Chris and fantastic camera work buddy. Fantastic chub and a lovely double figure pike along with some stunning perch. Keep those uploads coming. Tight lines 👍

[@PENFOLD1962]

Worra end to a brilliant day's fishing! Just goes to show that Big Lures aren't always the best... Chuffed for ya mate👍😷👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@casinodelonge]

Ah, I think we all enjoyed that footage of the supermarket trolley in its natural environment. I once attended a pollution incident opposite a large supermarket. It required me to deploy an oil boom but the water was a little deep. Thankfully, someone had thrown a trolley into the stream, I used it to stand on while I put the boom in then returned the trolley to the supermarket door, covered in black sludge, and weeds. They costed (in 1997 money) about 70 to 80 quid a throw and a large inner city supermarket would bank on losing about 60 trolleys a week.

[@stedavies241170]

Again sod off Chris - awesome sesh and brilliant underwater footage.

[@jamesdoyle3885]

[@needham831]

Well , I think that's what they call a Red Letter day!☺ Lots of fantastic coloured Perch and a couple of 2 pound beasties too, that incredibly long 4 pound plus Chub and the bonus double figure Pike at the end. It just shows the power of using those floating bait jigs in that kind of water. And the underwater footage of the jack Pike attacks was the cherry on the cake. This is going down as one of my favourite new vids of yours , Chris. Well done mate! Let's hope the new year continues this way.☺🎣

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Enjoy watch you catch fish in the U K Seeing perch that are that big blows me away Here in western Canada we are fishing for perch threw 2 feet of ice ( 60cent meters ) A big perch here would be 10 inches (25 cm ) Keep up the great videos Thanks

[@bradhutcheson9322]

Belting session Chris. I am envious of the river you have close to you, the rivers near me in South Wales are nothing like that. I must admit I am going to hit the Monmouth Brecon Canal very soon. I hope to at least have something that resembles the fish that you have caught.

[@dr.gernotmayer111]

Man, realy nice catches 👍🏼👌💪🏼,you are soooo blessed!!!🙏🙏🙏 Here (in austria) you find some small trouts and other mini-fishes in such small rivers.🤷‍♂️

Thanks buddy. I bloody hope so 😂

Am your big fan 😍

[@carlosbyrne548]

Some size perch compared to the ones in Dublin. Gonna try the creature baits your using keep doing what your doing Chris your smashing them😅 Tight lines ✌🏼🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@johnrickards1908]

Cracking session Chris. Me, I'm green with envy mate 😁

[@antrog1895]

Great editing of the underwater action of the lures really good video again, cheers. What percentage of perch attack the lures because it’s in its territory rather than for food do you think?

[@chauffeurdrivenbimbo5850]

River Pigs? Lol 😂. Yeah they are greedy little pigs. Nice video.

[@TrueNorthOutdoorAdventures]

Brother your Vids are GREAT! Your Perch are HUGE compared to what we have here. Do you ever catch/cook or are you allowed to there? They're one of our favorite Fish to eat for sure! That Chub was a monster as well. And what a great ending with that awesome Pike. Thanks for sharing!

[@ianrobinson986]

In England it's almost always catch & release not catch & cook unless you are on a specific trout or salmon water. In England all waters are owned by somebody (be it a landowner, a local authority or a fishing association) & you have to abide by their rules.

[@handycrowd]

You got to get some T shirts made up with "There we go!" on them :-)

[@bensanson7391]

Great video. What net handle do you use?

[@Fishinginbangkok]

Snake head here are gr8 fun on light gear. I live in Bangkok and went to a lure fishing lake here just outside Bangkok and had some nice giant snake head a few Pacu and a couple of chawpraya catfish. hey if you are ever in Thailand let me knw.

[@guzz1jon]

A very enjoyable and instructive watch. I hope you get picked up by one of the networks, as you're very natural in front of the camera.

You ever fancy doing some trawling down the canals/drains ?

Hi, can you recommended a good combo kit for spinning. Looking to buy. Any other kit you think i would need. Thanks in advance

[@adjusted-bunny]

Massive ginger beard! "Men Only" beard fertilizer?

[@TheSurrealExperience]

What hooks/weight were used here?

[@TobyLynnoedd]

Nice fish you're catching in some amazing waters. Perhaps one point of critic; sometimes i see more of your arms and legs than i see of the water. But, keep your videos coming 👍

[@leoncharite6547]

One of the best looking fish just wish was a bit more a fight with perch

[@catalickconverta6823]

Im still yet to catch a chub hopefully this year is the one

[@denisgoulding4004]

what size hook and cheb u using

[@richarddorsch7275]

How long is your net and the weight?

[@Jugolina19]

Which kind of jig is that?

[@fionaorourke9845]

make another video of fishing with craws by the way class video

[@jungle9692]

Hi Chris could you or any of the other subs advise me on the best braid to get for my ultralight setup. I just bought my first UL rod (0.5-5g) and struggling to find light braid. I have a light setup (4-17g) and use 14lb Berkeley fireline. I have seen Korum do an 8lb dropshot braid but only in 100m

[@lurekayaklrf]

There’s a daiwa nano-braid and a finesse braid (not sure what brand) that comes as low as like 4lb

now them are proper perch

[@elgar104]

You must have amazing eyesight...... I've spent a child hood fishing.... and hardly ever saw anything in the water....

[@ianstanley2222]

Agree with the previous comment. The TV should be getting involved. We're looking for a new John Wilson and not these carp matches that they show which with respect to that scene I'm tired of watching what could be the same fish bring caught time after time.
