The 6lb Chub Project! | Huge Chub Caught On Cheese Paste!

Well I thought it would be some time before I could film this video... But due to a LOT of luck and a bit of decent angling, I can bring you The 6lb Chub Project video much sooner than I anticipated!
Next stop 7lb chevin!

Great result, I was lucky enough to weigh a Chub for a angler at Rolf's lake years ago, it weighed 8lb 8oz. Beast of a fish.

[@MatchFishingFilms]

I well remember hearing about the huge chub in Rolf's Lake. Are they long gone now? I can only imagine an 8lber!

[@ianmcculloch2671]

@@MatchFishingFilms think they still catch odd ones but nothing near that size anymore. Had catches over 50lb of them when there was lots of 3lbs fish in there

[@peteunwin9663]

Well done Joe. Lovely days fishing.

[@kevinrippin756]

Lovely fish Joe , loads that size on the Upper Welland around Stamford where I live . Fantastic fishing in the winter .👍

[@MatchFishingFilms]

I have heard there are some great fish there 😄

[@stephenarmstrong6620]

Really enjoyed this chub journey joe, cracking days fishing and topped off with a monster👍👍👍

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Nice one Stephen!

[@matthewharding6245]

Just rewatched this series and loved it. Any chance of a 7lb Chub Project this year?

[@MatchFishingFilms]

I've had the 7lbers since this. I may do a recap. Unfortunately the videos don't seem very popular which is a shame.

[@easyfishing1936]

Hi Joe, congratulations on your superb fish! Having had a few 6lb plus fish i know exactly how you felt looking at at that fish. Indeed even the fight description matched my my own. The best i did last year on camera was 5lb 13 1/2 oz but i still know that i want to get a six on camera, but time is against me now. I bet Rob is itching to match that fish! Incidentaly how far is local in lockdown? Kindest regards and stay safe Bill

[@MatchFishingFilms]

I love it Bill. Cannot wait for the next session. Who knows and I don't want to get into it ha ha

[@BenFiskFishing]

Like watching Terry Hearn! Nice one Seph, tremendous sport + fish

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Cheers chor. Just need a wooly jumper and a log fire.

[@neilwayte517]

Well done Joe once again really enjoyed the update. You are so right about the short windows when the chub and barbel fishing in the winter is spot on.On the Thames it is exactly the same when we get the best chance. Unfortunatley the thames is managed by man so it is far less predictable. Big chub are prediatory so put a bag of prawns in your bag and even some lamphrey sections. I have a chapter in my next book called technology that I would like to send you so can have a read Google earth and web sites to compliment your fishing. Not sure how to get it up to you but Ian at Sonu could give you my number so you can text me some contact details. Good luck with the seven.

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Awesome Neil I would enjoy that:) Many areas of this little adventure has opened my eyes and learning from scratch has been great. Really enjoying it and to be honest cant stop thinking about it. The 7lb fish will be an immense challenge but I'm sure they are in there.

[@threadkel]

Well done Joe. Great when a plan comes together. Have you had much success with Lobbies when it’s coloured or do you prefer the old Pepperami. Watch all your videos and I must say that you present them very well. Still remember meeting you at The Big One on your debut with Preston. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍

[@MatchFishingFilms]

I haven't tried lobbie much tbh. I like the convenience of cheese, bread and peparami. Means I can go at the drop of a hat as I always have a those baits here 👍

[@davep6286]

Well done Joe, 👏You put the work in on PC, then have fun taking little one on walks👍 then it’s tackle and paste time. Maybe do a brake down on tackle, seeing as you have covered the bait. Great that your thinking ahead, I’m sure the oils will make a lovely smooooooooooth mix, doing away with margarines. 🤮 ATVB for the 6plus and bigger 🤞🤞

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Cheers Dave let's hope we get a few opportunities before season end 😄

[@fishingforbiteswithmo]

I love the variety 👍 well done on the new pb 👍👍

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Thanks 👍

Around 25 years ago I was invited to net some small pools on an army base. One of the pools was nothing more than a ditch about twelve inches deep. It was so uninviting I wasn’t going to bother netting it until one of the soldiers that was escorting me on the base told me he had seen fish in it during the summer. So I decided to give it a pull. At the end of the pull the net was stuffed with tiny carp around 1 to 2oz a piece . But in the silt we saw a large dorsal fin sticking up. I presumed it was going to be one of the parent fish of all the small carp. But once we got it out of the net and cleaned off it was a chub weighing 7lbs 4oz. It was blooming huge. We put it in a dustbin on it’s own before transferring it to the main holding tank and it’s length went completely round the circumference of the bin. The monster went into one of the lakes I owned but to my knowledge has never been caught or seen since, lol.

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Wow! wonder how it got there!

[@mikesmith4718]

Get rid of that MUG 😁

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Top of the league 😄

[@timothyridge6136]

None of the circumstances behind this capture were circumstantial. The fact that you had a large bow in the line, that the bite was a series of dropbacks, that the swim had been prebaited a long period in advance....it was all pertinent. The only two things you got wrong in your assessment...1. Your bait wasn't a long way downstream....the bow you paid out didn't bump the bait downstream it anchored it to the spot, hence the type of bite you got. 2. Fishing across won't be as futile as you suggest...if you don't do the match angling thing of using too much weight. Again pay a large bow out to make a (seemingly) insufficient amount of weight hold bottom. You'll be recreating exactly what you did with your big fish only at longer range. Well done young man.

[@timothyridge6136]

Ps. The reason for fishing this way enables you to largely avoid spooking the chub by striking at line bites (pulls) by waiting for a positive dropback which can be nothing other than a fish with the bait in its mouth.

[@savmunago5505]

Nice one Joe , the nene is awesome on its day. The backwaters can be great. Quick question, what app or site do you use to check the air pressure?

[@MatchFishingFilms]

I have an android phone and the app is just called barometer

Well done Joe. Try adding some Garlic to your Cheese paste, trust me on that one it's a winner.

I've been told its superb. My first batch was very garlicky and I couldn't catch so its kinda stuck with me :(

Just off amazon Brian

Could you please show me the app joe. I’ve tried a couple but not very helpful. Cheers

It's just called Barometer Mick, very simple app (I use an Android phone)

Congrats Joe. Stunning fish and great catch 💪

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Thanks Peter!

[@grahamnash9794]

Top result Joe. Really happy for you. Now, that &lb.. first of all, you need to know where they are. Then it's the long hard nerve grinding patience testing life long quest to tempt one to bite. I really hope to see another video like this one celebration a 7+. All the very best with that one mate.

[@MatchFishingFilms]

I fear I may run out of time this season. But I know what I will be doing next winter 👍🧀

[@gazb9179]

Fishing is there for everyone. I think holding bk info and advise on places is just childish. Granted don't give it out to just anyone but for those serious anglers who respect the environment and fish should be entitled. I've sent a kid some fishing spots and info today. Some people guard it with their life and to me it's just sad!

[@MatchFishingFilms]

I appreciate that. And I give away more info than just about anybody, probably to my own detriment in matches! so I think a little freedom on keeping these spots to myself isn't the worst thing in the world?

[@mickbrooks8114]

@@MatchFishingFilms everyone has a few spots they keep to themselves

[@gazb9179]

@@mickbrooks8114 each to their own, it's just not the be all and end all! They don't own the place and like I said. I wouldn't give it out to just anyone cos I've seen some proper morons on the bank but the the serious anglers who are doing it proper I don't mind. If I saw a young kid struggling, I'd point him in right direction. Like I said each to their own n that comment wasn't intended for Joe. My fault, should a watched full vlog before comment.👍

[@leejohnson221]

Keep it to yourself Joe. Anyone serious could find, like you, spots through research.
