I was on Brixham breakwater back i the 70s when the shore caught record conger was caught by a mate. 56lbs on a Mackerel head and 484 beachcaster. A truly epic fish. And the gentlest of takes. Good luck with your quest.
10 out of 10 for braving those conditions, I would have stayed in the house, you got what you deserved so pleased for you, in all my many years of fishing I have believed that big baits catch big fish, you have now converted me to circle hooks. thanks Paul
Eazy Paul you ok pal, well done Reading the conditions of the water colour mate n setting ya stall. What a banging bass mate. Big shout to John aswell. All the best from GRIMSBY
Yes the bassman 🎣, well done Paul and what a beautiful big bass,I loved the look on your face when you had the bass on the river bank, forgot the critics' and keep using them hooks, can't wait to see you get that 40lb plus eel,love the vlog Paul,once again well done on the bass 😉👍🏼🎣.
Great bass that, personally i would have got that back in the water a little quicker as sometimes the stress and being out of the water can kill those big breeding fish
It went back fine and we had her in the drink for a while a thought we filmed it all 💦cheers, a graceful release Shizz happens 😎👍 Out of numerous doubles only my PB didn’t make it back, stressed, bleeding out and completely exhausted after a long battle on inadequate plugging gear 8b line fishing for schoolies,
Hahaha prime Bass big bass is called prime because it’s the best! Best prices for prime fish, FACT! They taste fantastic nice big flakes 😋 This one returned and LIVED
If you’re happy with 9 I suppose it will do! Not jealous not jealous at all. Bass of the year and quote of the year from John. Well done! Really happy for you, you really deserve it. Didn’t just make me smile, I was grinning from ear to ear. I bet your heart was thumping. Even laughing to myself making this comment. WELL DONE!
this is the first video i seen of yours, and i believe you released her 100%. i can tell you LOVE fish, i released a good 48cm keeper a few weeks ago, theyre great eating, but the feeling of releasing them is equally satisfying, if not more than the high of eating a great fresh fish :)
Well done mate unbelievable fish always nice when a plan comes together , and just shows the fish don’t mind the rain brilliant buddy delighted for u 💪💪🍻
Yes the Bassman does it again ! Fish of dreams that one Paul, can’t believe you got it on shore with that Rib and mooring lines in the way, well done sir and you showed us that persistence pays.🎣🎣🎣
Well done I like using circle hooks just got to learn and remember not to strike, just lift and wind. Have you tried just hooking a macky through the mouth? I've found it works perfectly.
Yes the Bassman, what a cracking fish, you deserved that if for no other reason than putting up with that weather. Couldn’t believe how much the water colour had changed by the end 👌💪🎣🐟
Congratulations Paul!! Cracking fish and just like a child at Christmas eh? Loved it mate! Got the rigs again here in Jersey . Oh the long and customs form !😂😂 Cheers Bass Man.
Just got too love big bass FairPlay Paul We all know what you mean after catching such magnificent bass Can recall catching a 9.8lb about ten years after putting her back just sat on my box didn’t fish for about an hour and was laughing smiling just couldn’t believe what just happened. Again top angling and respect for putting her back👌
@@bassmansbountyfishing hopefully your see afew more tanks before end of the season, with regards to circle hooks theres definitely a better hook up rate when you tie them in a loop that way whatever way they take the bait your hook them ,for powerful fish that movement in the loop also takes the pressure off the hooking point ,Iam always updating my methods myself As you say we are always learning with fishing ,Tightlines Amigo 😎🐟
Big Bad Bass man does it again licking his wounds on the Yealm. The rain doesnt stop play in his grounds. And he does it in style well done be safe crack on
I am new to beach fishing and have caught a few Congers on Penal rigs got most of them unhooked and away 👍. But I have had a couple deeper hooked , with the bait masking the hooks making it so hard to unhook I risked damaging the Eel 🙁 . So I have cut the line tight to the hooks and released the eel thinking it was the safest option. Should I fish 1 hook, should I fish with mono hook lengths or Wire.? Any advice would be appreciated 👍
That was a stunning fish and good job for returning it.. would you say the majority of your bass are 5lb and under? I know youve had 5 doubles but I just wondrrd as i fish the north east of England and most of the bass are 3lb and under with a few 5lbers plus thrown in
Bass porn😂 my fave sort ❤ good angling, maybe dongles and circles would be worth trying? Personally I still deep hook eels on circles but the ones I catch are tiny 😢
why you release that it will be in the fish section in sainsburys next week do not feel bad for keeping a line caught bass the only people who shouldnt be catching bass are the massive boats which supply every supermarket with tiny bass every day this fish would of been str8 in my oven with some chips
@@bassmansbountyfishing yeh just dont feel that you shouldnt be taking a rod and line caught bass no matter what size it is rod and line angling is completely sustainable fishing its the supermarkets that should not be cashing in on tiny bass before they have a chance to breed thats the problem
@@bassmansbountyfishing morrisons bass comes from falfish a cornish seafood business which processes fish from british waters and the south west coastline
Great episode and admire your dedication.
Thank you sir! 🙏💚😁

Nice bass mate! you ever use a circle hook on a dongle or do you just prefer the hook with knotless knot? Gave you a sub!
Cheers knotless knot atm 🤟😎
