I like the way your experimenting yourself rather than copying what everyone else is telling people to do ( stinking tackle, Korda underwater and so on. Keep it up I really enjoy your clips.
Here in the U.S. I don't find boillies readily available so I stick with Van-Do carp dough-bait which I hair rig on a small metal spring and it seems to work well. I would be curious to see a video of carp with soft dough-bait and if they give it more attention than those hard boilies.
Excellent video. Interesting to see how much the hook bait is moved during feeding and also how the hook bait is being ignored. Possibly because of the boilie flavour or rig type/presentation. Well done !!
Excellent footage! One small tip, though. You may want to set the hook point deeper in the boilie. At 8:32, the fish spat the bait out after rolling it around in it's mouth. This is common carp behavior, but it can be combatted. Great video and I'm very glad you uploaded this. It is a fine contribution to the growing carp fishing culture on TH-cam!
btw Im not telling you how to fish! its obvious to everyone that you know what you are doing and using these vids to show people what works via trail and error which I totally understand and respect! I would just like to see how a rig that I would use, works on the bottom! keep up the good work mate.
Great video. Like how you show what rig you are using in detail too. Interesting how you think the rigs work differently if you adjust after you cast. Please post more.
Thanks for the video. Amazing the amount of fish that wilkl ignore a pop-up. Makes me wonder how many fish go over my rigs, before I get a take. Have you watched the Korda underwater footage, filmed and produced by the UK carp firm Korda? They did a nice feature on pop-ups in their 3rd or 4th Korda underwater series. Thanks
Holaaaaa. Q buen video. Deja muy claro, la forma de proceder de los peces en busca de alimento. Siempre quise ver su comportamiento y aquí se perfecto lo q hacen en el fondo de su hábitat. Muchas gracias por tomarse el tiempo de hacer el vídeo y agradezco el compartir con todos su trabajo. Saludos desde Pradera Valle del Cauca Colombia.
Great video! You can clearly see how the carp were feeding. After watching that I bet you chucked that rig as far away as you could! I'm not a big fan of that rig, not enough movement of the bait like you get with a blow back hair. Looks like the hook was a little blunt too. Definitely a thumbs up on the video from me! Not sure if there was audio as I have no speakers, but still great vid!
Lol you guys are so fancy I just use a heavy jig head with a big night crawler it stays right on the bottom I have caught countless 20-30 Pounders on this good fishing and tight lines BIGAMEFISH
such a shame i am a big fan of pop ups but to see them failing like that makes me think about how many more fish i could be catching using boilys!!!!!!! great vid and funny fish/walrus!!
@JeromeMoisand Thanks, You helped me a lot, I didn't even thought that baits can be ineffective or effective beacuse of that you are fishing on the bare bottom or on a bed of bait.
As an ecologist this video is Interesting.....one of those carp seems to have a problem with its swim-bladder, it seems to almost bounce along the bottom rather than swim , it appears to have lost its natural weightlessness (caused by air in swim bladder balancing out the weight of the fish) but rather sinks. Iv seen this in small aquarium fish but never in a large carp it obviously hasn't affected its ability to survive in the wild. It would be vulnerable to predators if it were a small fish but the large size of the carp keeps it safe as there are probably no predators in the lake big enough to take it on (except for maybe the anglers! )
Wonderful vids! What sort of cammera equipment are you using? I would like to know some more details :) Could be fun by the way to see Nash Triggalink if it works so well as they claim....
idk where you fish at or what state you live in, but in west virginia we can use treble hooks... simply placing a small treble hook in a dough ball, with my special recipe ;), i hook them every single time... ive caught carp 30lbs plus...
they don't like it. that's it. Time to discover something they like, don't you think? And a rig that doesn't go in and out that easily. They spit it out like a cowboy chewing tobacco. Very enlightening video.
@DenJSmith This is a self-hooking mechanism. The weight is heavy enough that the fish gets hooked with it moves a bit with the hook in its mouth. Carp typically bolt and run under those conditions, and... you definitely what's happening by then! You're quite right that if the fish stays there, shooking its head to try to get rid of he hook, you might not know, but this is actually not typical at all.
you should try using somthing like a free running ledger rig, alot of the time the fish seem to be picking up the bait, feeling resistance from the lead and dropping it again before running, they're having to drag the lead in order for you to see a run, may be putting them off a little.
can ya have a video using night crawlers... I want to see how they hit them, because I get a lot of quick hit and miss hits carp fishing on the Cuyahoga River.
@JeromeMoisand totally! why dont you try a hellicpter rig with the beads about 7 inches apart cos then you can use a really short hooklink but you still have a lot of range for the hooklink to slide up and down the line, leader or whatever! also the carp cant use the lead as an anchor to lose the hook. Dont be afraid to go really short with hooklinks. I only use high pop ups or chods when the bottom is like 5 inches of shit and I cant find a clearing or hard bottom.
why don't you put the hook in the bait? I always just thread corn onto a hook and it works pretty darn fine for me. Interested to hear the why of this set up as there seems to be quite a few people using this type of set up. thanks. jim
Could you do another video using some power smoke? Id love to see the effect of the smoke on the fish and perhaps a comparison between one with and one without! Your video is so close up and clear.
im not a big fan of popups,,,,,, but if i do use them i put the weight tight to the hook or use the snoman rig,,,,,, nice footage,, and some of them carp do look grumpy.
@JeromeMoisand thats pretty much what it is but without the stiff hooklink! just 4 inches of braid eg korda supernatural, with the beads several inches apart with the bottom bead a couple of inches up from the lead so there is no contact with the lead at all so the fish cant use the lead as an anchor point to lose the hook. But yes mate it is a chod rig without the stiff flourocarbon hooklink etc.
@goldboy97 Hmm, you intrigued me here. I don't think I broke a terminal rig on a fish that day. I suspect that what you see is actually my main line which this fish somehow dragged on the side. I have to keep my main line pretty vertical to be able to adjust often enough the position of the rig in front of the camera.
@herb686 Thanks. Well, I think the conclusion was reasonably well established, if we keep them too busy with bottom offerings, they totally ignore a pop-up. So pop-ups might be better used as single bait, cast in the middle of nowhere.
@JeromeMoisand use a silicone shrink tube half of the tube on your hook and the other half on your rig line, cause when the carps exhales your pop up the hook has a wrong angle with a silicone shrink tube i bet the carp would be hooked, thats what i use, but i use to fish with boilies, corn or tigernuts
i have just started carp fishing cos my mate takes me but we use very small hooks and light tackle. these hair rigs look like braid ? i thought carp where much to clever for this set up
A 20 pounder would probably be around 25 inches (just a guess, I weigh them but I rarely measure them). They can get significantly bigger in better locations. I caught a 39 pounder last spring, and I did measure this one, it was 39 inches long, and the girth was 29 inches. An AMAZING fish!
That walrus carp one has dropsy and will soon die. It is a problem with their swim bladder, which helps them regulate their depth in the water. If they have dropsy, then they either sink or float, and also have trouble swimming.
this is so funny...look at them how they try to lazy suck it. :))))) with those fish lips hahah great video I always wanted to know what happens down there
It just needs to be closer to the lakebed! see at the end when for whatever reason the boilie was closer to the bottom, the fish took it no problem but it was popped up too high especially over particle! personally I would have used several boilies spread around a foot apart with a 4 inch hooklink just critically popped up, ! it would have worked far better. But this is just the same as using a chod over particle! big mistake. Excellent vids as usual though! your teaching people a lot of stuff.
@bumpyjason Yes, I'm sure you're quite right. I actually never fish like that, either I use a single pop-up with a powerful dip, cast in the middle of nowhere, or I fish on the bottom with freebies around it, and then yes, a terminal rig critically balanced does wonders.
Just a regular river, but at a spot where they congregate in the winter (an outflow bringing nutrients, oxygen and slightly warmer water). They can be VERY active in the winter IF you can find them.
I think if you put a split shot on the link making the pop up lower, would make a difference. I think you could of ripped the back out of it with the kd rig.
@123carpfisher You would think so, right? Well, not quite, I check my hooks before every cast, and this hook was plenty sharp. This just show that what we THINK happens down there isn't exactly what REALLY happens...
@JoeMul30 Way too early for spawning here, but you're right, maybe this is one of those carp which didn't succeed to spawn last year and stayed stuck with plenty of stale eggs inside its body. Didn't think about that. Thanks for the insight.
@jeromeMoisand it is a self hooking rig to an extent, but only if the lead can rise before it drop's, pulling the hook into the bottom lip, the lead was far to heavy to register the small knocks on the line at the bite alarm end, if he had a 1oz lead he would have hooked more of those fish.... @denjsmith, your right, you dont have a clue unless the fish shot's off like linford christie! smaller lead would have solved alot of his problems, its more typical than you would think!!
u should try to balance the weight more, so the hook will lay on the ground and only the bait will float, otherwise the fish will see the hook and ignore the bait too often ;) greetings from Germany
How did you manage to get the camera to point at the bait every time? I've been trying to do something similar for a while. Never can seem to get the camera to point in the right direction.
Yup, it's a bit tricky. I fish/record along a vertical wall, so I can position the rig+bait fairly precisely, then rotate the camera by twisting the cable.
Ah, yeah when you fish a ledge and can drop them next to each other, that helps. I've given up on trying to do this, so I've started building an ROV with live video feed so I can just put it in the water and move it to my bait no matter where it is for live video and 1080P recording.
Thanks. Well, I would say to not use a pop-up on top of a bed of bottom baits... If the carp had been inactive and just hovering, the pop-up might have been much more effective.
@boiledboilies the video is misleading, as it magnifies a lot. The pop-up was only an inch high or something like that. I think that's actually good, but as Jason said below, this isn't effective on a bed of bait, it needs to be a more isolated bait for roaming/hovering carp.
I would have been crazily interested to see the same scene but this time with a choddy/reversed combi rig on. The bait is obviously just excellent, the pop-up seems to attract a lot of attention but the hooklink does not able to kick back when the fish ejects the bait. It stays down while sucking in the bait as it expects the food to lay on the bottom so the pop-up just keeps floating in the mouth making it impossible to catch a hold in the flesh and easy to eject. the choddy would rule...
why is everyone complaining about him having a "bad Rig" and that he's using cheap boilies or that he's fishing this all wrong? have you seen your own personal rig with an underwater camera? how do you know your not also loosing all those bites? just saying
I know this is old I just came acrossed it, trying to review Pop-ups.. But there is one tip that never fails, And That is Your Hook Bait should Match What You're Feeding. Like i feed Corn (Maize) So that is what i use on my Hair. I know some People May Disagreed That's Okay. It's Just How I fish, And I have Success With It, So Why Change Something If It's Working?
Totally agree, I lay corn on the bottom and loose feed occasionally . It works very well. I haven’t tried all these fancy baits and rigs and I don’t think I’ll bother. This video clearly demonstrates how carp feed...
@JoeMul30 I think its bladder was slightly punctured, so it couldn't properly swim. In an old video, I showed a carp which was even more handicapped and hopelessly stuck to the bottom. Yet they survive... Amazing resilience.
Carp or walrus was the funniest part..😂😂😂
I like the way your experimenting yourself rather than copying what everyone else is telling people to do ( stinking tackle, Korda underwater and so on. Keep it up I really enjoy your clips.

One small tip, though. You may want to set the hook point deeper in the boilie. At 8:32, the fish spat the bait out after rolling it around in it's mouth. This is common carp behavior, but it can be combatted.

I love videos like this where you can see the fish behavior in their natural habitat
Holaaaaa.
Q buen video.
Deja muy claro, la forma de proceder de los peces en busca de alimento.
Siempre quise ver su comportamiento y aquí se perfecto lo q hacen en el fondo de su hábitat.

Lol you guys are so fancy I just use a heavy jig head with a big night crawler it stays right on the bottom I have caught countless 20-30
Pounders on this good fishing and tight lines
BIGAMEFISH
quite hard to get a hooked one with this rig. nice vid! Very interesting
Nicr video❤️❤️❤️
I am from Indonesia
such a shame i am a big fan of pop ups but to see them failing like that makes me think about how many more fish i could be catching using boilys!!!!!!! great vid and funny fish/walrus!!
@JeromeMoisand Thanks, You helped me a lot, I didn't even thought that baits can be ineffective or effective beacuse of that you are fishing on the bare bottom or on a bed of bait.

+Barbel Man any ideas how that happens to them?
No doubt being caught again and again and excessive handling have caused this disorder
Wonderful vids!
What sort of cammera equipment are you using? I would like to know some more details :)
Could be fun by the way to see Nash Triggalink if it works so well as they claim....
Hi Jerome great videos. Can you try a KD rig i belive its better then a regular pop up rig.
execelent videos keep em up!
Awesome video. Gives some true insight to fish behavior
idk where you fish at or what state you live in, but in west virginia we can use treble hooks... simply placing a small treble hook in a dough ball, with my special recipe ;), i hook them every single time... ive caught carp 30lbs plus...
Nice vid, I would like to know what camera set up you got it took a nice video
They are AMAZINGLY resilient. I've seen carp missing various body parts and still roaming around, you wouldn't believe...
they don't like it. that's it.
Time to discover something they like, don't you think?
And a rig that doesn't go in and out that easily. They spit it out like a cowboy chewing tobacco.
Very enlightening video.
i see you are using the new 'carp approved hooks'
Genius! lol great vids btw mate keep em comin :D
that pop up would look the part if it was colour camera and the pop up was dipped in korda goo ..... but this video is class !!
I'm sorry, I meant to say 1:32.
Fine video and great fishing!

@bumpyjason What you describe is basically a chod rig, right? Yes, it's on my (long) list of things to try...
why don't you put the hook in the bait? I always just thread corn onto a hook and it works pretty darn fine for me.
Interested to hear the why of this set up as there seems to be quite a few people using this type of set up.

jim
Could you do another video using some power smoke? Id love to see the effect of the smoke on the fish and perhaps a comparison between one with and one without! Your video is so close up and clear.
Er... Hard to say... Did you try in clear shallow water? It might be a visibility issue if you're trying to go to deep in murky water...
man, is full o fishes there ! good work !!!
@skimenruslan How did you get a video under water? what kind of setup was the camcorder or fish finder?
superb looking channel
Where was this filmed? Great video quality too what camera do you use?
what is the camera set up on these vids? it's fantastic
That's werd how the mouth detaches but it's funny. Good video and can you make a video on how to mak that rig?
im not a big fan of popups,,,,,, but if i do use them i put the weight tight to the hook or use the snoman rig,,,,,, nice footage,, and some of them carp do look grumpy.
@MrJomiShell The camera comes with a long cable allowing you to drop it in the water. Some heavy ballasts stabilize the whole thing on the floor.
great video,and that seems like a good rig to catch them:)
@JeromeMoisand thats pretty much what it is but without the stiff hooklink! just 4 inches of braid eg korda supernatural, with the beads several inches apart with the bottom bead a couple of inches up from the lead so there is no contact with the lead at all so the fish cant use the lead as an anchor point to lose the hook. But yes mate it is a chod rig without the stiff flourocarbon hooklink etc.
Good vid.
I would have thought a shorter hooklink would have nailed the one's that shook the hook.
@goldboy97 Hmm, you intrigued me here. I don't think I broke a terminal rig on a fish that day. I suspect that what you see is actually my main line which this fish somehow dragged on the side.

i laughed at the carp that waddled around like a walrus haha
Recommended me toaday 🤩 i watch today this old video
A 20 pounder would probably be around 25 inches (just a guess, I weigh them but I rarely measure them). They can get significantly bigger in better locations. I caught a 39 pounder last spring, and I did measure this one, it was 39 inches long, and the girth was 29 inches. An AMAZING fish!

this is so funny...look at them how they try to lazy suck it. :))))) with those fish lips hahah great video I always wanted to know what happens down there
I don't understand having a fixed 3 oz lead between you and the hook. How do you know when anything less then the most aggressive strike happens?
It just needs to be closer to the lakebed! see at the end when for whatever reason the boilie was closer to the bottom, the fish took it no problem but it was popped up too high especially over particle! personally I would have used several boilies spread around a foot apart with a 4 inch hooklink just critically popped up, ! it would have worked far better. But this is just the same as using a chod over particle! big mistake. Excellent vids as usual though! your teaching people a lot of stuff.
That Pop-up is so high off the deck it could be mistaken for a UFO, not surprised loads ignored it
😂😂😂
Its a fantastic video
@bumpyjason Yes, I'm sure you're quite right. I actually never fish like that, either I use a single pop-up with a powerful dip, cast in the middle of nowhere, or I fish on the bottom with freebies around it, and then yes, a terminal rig critically balanced does wonders.
2:15 carp : omg im on youtube
Thumps up
It's definitely a walrus methinks :B
Watching the carp ignore the pop-up makes one think about the rigs we use...
Is it necessary to put the string at the bottom of the river or can it remain suspended in the water?
Verry Nice footage but you see on te last 20 sec of THE Movie that THE pop up was more near THE ground and that Carp fish are verry smart creatures
Thanks for sharing the video 👍
Where are you fishing that the fish are feeding so much at such a cold water temperature?
Just a regular river, but at a spot where they congregate in the winter (an outflow bringing nutrients, oxygen and slightly warmer water). They can be VERY active in the winter IF you can find them.
What is the average size you usually pull out of there?
Small. 4 to 10 pounds. There are a few bigger ones (saw a couple of 20s), didn't get any on video. The camera magnifies a lot.
Jerome Moisand They may not be big but a least there are a lot of them to test bait and rigs.
dzieki ale juz wiem w czym jest problem
super filmik duzo uczy
wow. mind if i ask how long in length?
@bumpyjason by the way, just use a standard bottom bait with this rig.
For most of the video ,the popup was about 4 inches off the bottom,when it finally got picked up ,it was about half an inch off bottom
6
Just a great example of why I don’t use pop ups high off the deck and use larger hooks
hi, im wondering why isnt the hook turning or pricking the lip when the carp is sucking it into his mouth?
try a shorter pop up, say poped up about an inch... and a curved pattern of hook will hook them better... good vid how to you get the footage???
I think if you put a split shot on the link making the pop up lower, would make a difference. I think you could of ripped the back out of it with the kd rig.
@123carpfisher You would think so, right? Well, not quite, I check my hooks before every cast, and this hook was plenty sharp. This just show that what we THINK happens down there isn't exactly what REALLY happens...
awesome video
i never saw anything like that
@JoeMul30 Way too early for spawning here, but you're right, maybe this is one of those carp which didn't succeed to spawn last year and stayed stuck with plenty of stale eggs inside its body. Didn't think about that. Thanks for the insight.
You could of bagged them on easy bait double corn or sumert. They to wise to pop ups but great video mate
@jeromeMoisand it is a self hooking rig to an extent, but only if the lead can rise before it drop's, pulling the hook into the bottom lip, the lead was far to heavy to register the small knocks on the line at the bite alarm end, if he had a 1oz lead he would have hooked more of those fish.... @denjsmith, your right, you dont have a clue unless the fish shot's off like linford christie! smaller lead would have solved alot of his problems, its more typical than you would think!!
u should try to balance the weight more, so the hook will lay on the ground and only the bait will float, otherwise the fish will see the hook and ignore the bait too often ;) greetings from Germany

Thanks. Well, I would say to not use a pop-up on top of a bed of bottom baits... If the carp had been inactive and just hovering, the pop-up might have been much more effective.
На кой такая оснастка, натуральную кукурузу на крючке, давно бы взял.
Интересно где такая шикарная рыбалка.
10 years geleden
@boiledboilies the video is misleading, as it magnifies a lot. The pop-up was only an inch high or something like that. I think that's actually good, but as Jason said below, this isn't effective on a bed of bait, it needs to be a more isolated bait for roaming/hovering carp.
I would have been crazily interested to see the same scene but this time with a choddy/reversed combi rig on. The bait is obviously just excellent, the pop-up seems to attract a lot of attention but the hooklink does not able to kick back when the fish ejects the bait. It stays down while sucking in the bait as it expects the food to lay on the bottom so the pop-up just keeps floating in the mouth making it impossible to catch a hold in the flesh and easy to eject. the choddy would rule...
Interesting!!!... Thanks for sharing. Love the 'live' or underwater footage, if only if only...
Unidentified Fishing Object? ;-)
Just out of curiosity, how high do you think it is?
@skimenruslan er... no disrespect, but large groups of carp are actually quite common in any reasonably fertile river system. Which is the case here.
bouyancy might be a problem too much, doesnt really look natural rebounds faster than everything else. maybe rise slower saturate the bait?
may i ask y u were u using a pop there in the first place, and why such a supple hook link
why is everyone complaining about him having a "bad Rig" and that he's using cheap boilies or that he's fishing this all wrong? have you seen your own personal rig with an underwater camera? how do you know your not also loosing all those bites? just saying
Tony Davila sahilib
Tony Davila not the bait at all its the position of the pop up but you will gat jokers on here blaming bait
I know this is old I just came acrossed it, trying to review Pop-ups.. But there is one tip that never fails, And That is Your Hook Bait should Match What You're Feeding. Like i feed Corn (Maize) So that is what i use on my Hair. I know some People May Disagreed That's Okay. It's Just How I fish, And I have Success With It, So Why Change Something If It's Working?
Cory Rafferty i tried to Feed with Popups but it didn't seem to work... XD
So use corn on the feeder and corn on the hook yea?
Totally agree, I lay corn on the bottom and loose feed occasionally . It works very well.
I haven’t tried all these fancy baits and rigs and I don’t think I’ll bother.
This video clearly demonstrates how carp feed...
@JoeMul30 I think its bladder was slightly punctured, so it couldn't properly swim. In an old video, I showed a carp which was even more handicapped and hopelessly stuck to the bottom. Yet they survive... Amazing resilience.
