Well this is the longest video I've made in a while. Usually I like to keep them to around 10 minuets, but you'll need to set aside some time for this one. I even cut out all the footage of the chub throughout this session too 😂 I was a bit bummed about that first fish, but the rest of the session more than made up for it!
Yo dude, I wish you would concentrate on your fishing instead of going on about how the fish could have gotten hooks in it's mouth.. please don't be judging others.. I've watched your videos for ever.. don't get caught up in being like other windgers. Just saying 😌
Thank you for helping him. As a pike Fisher I find do many lines with hooks with bloody thin mono and big trebles snapped off 😡 absolutely boils by blood !! If you want to fish use the correct equipment or don't fish at all ! Fish care must start with the right equipment on your line 😁 great video as always look forward to your next 👍
Your watercraft is amazing Chris. Your simple rigs and exceptional knowledge make a mockery of all this complicated new tackle and rigs. Best fishing vids on the net.
Wonderful video, amazing evening's fishing. I've been fishing for 50 years plus, and I've never seen anything like that first barbel. Lucky for him (or her) you landed it and relieved it of its hook collection
See this to me is very British - and lovely. The gentlemanly fishing, the chirp of the birds and peaceful British countryside. I am in Australia and spent 2 years living london a number of years back, loved the UK. Of late however I have been seeing many videos and news of just how bad the Muslim problem is becoming in the UK, and the great, once standard British way of life seems to be threatened which is really concerning and saddening to bear witness to from here in Australia. It is great to still see these sort of videos of true Englishman, their respect for the countryside, nature and a very English pastime of sport fishing whilst having utmost respect of the fish. Keep strong England and hold your traditions! ❤
Chris your passion and enthusiasm makes me feel like that 7 year old boy who went angling for the first time on the leeds ,Liverpool canal happily catching Gudgeon. Im 54 now busy working but yearn to go Gudgeon" bashing" again. (not literally to you none anglers). Great vids well made,fantastic angling. Job done. Thanks Chris
Lovely bit of barbel fishing Chris , relaxing too watch. So glad you caught the barbel with lots of hooks so you could remove them,well done mate. Great set up as well 👍
It was destiny for that to be your first Barbel of the season. He's been waiting for the wise ginger one to pull him out and remove them hooks. Before anyone starts fishing they need to learn a basic blood knot.
You are a fantastic fisherman my friend and that barbel was lucky this time because you caught him or her. Great vídeo in a beautiful river with great fish. Congrats from this portuguese friend.
Nothing better than catching the barbel best coarse fish in the uk in my opinion i live 2 mile from the river wye so i get to fish for them a lot excellent video as always chris nice fishing fella,sad to see hooks left in the mouth they call themselves anglers
Another cracking video Chris. I'm going through the hardest time of my life and your videos are getting me through it. All I fish on now is the little local stream/river and I love it. Thanks for these ace videos and the inspiration.
That barbel was actually lucky that you caught it. With all of the expensive equipment available, the one thing that can't be bought is a good knot. The other problem is that barbel seem to be the fashionable target species for most river anglers, so they are heavily pressured on many rivers. One of the reasons that I don't fish for them much these days. The extremely low water and oxygen levels on the smaller rivers this summer have made me stay away from river fishing. I enjoy autumn and winter chub fishing, but I tend to fish on the heavy side in the warmer months, as most of my local rivers have good barbel populations. I know I will get a lot less bites from chub and miss more of them, but I hate losing fish due to breakages.
Brilliant upload as ever mate. The trouble is you make it look so easy, however I know that's not the case. They were some fabulous fish combined with a really interesting insight into your methods. Keep posting mate, a real joy to watch.
where i grew up we had to take an exam to get a fishing licence. Learned how to tie hooks and knots, fish care etc. Here in England anybody can get a rod licence without any knowledge which is a bad thing. Every angler need to put fish care and Nature really seriously, without it we cannot enjoy our hobby.
G'day Chris, fantastic video and awesome Barbel. Good job you caught the Barbel with all those hooks in it , you saved it's life👍🏻. All the best form down under mate 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Well done again Chris another very good video, brilliant of you to get them hook's out of that lovely Barbel, some people need to take more care in how to tie hook's properly or go a bit heavier on there line, thank you again Chris 👍 your a 🌟
Well done Chris, proper angler you are, they give us such pleasure and the least we can do is take care of them. I also carry an antiseptic spray for them.
Well done pal and thank you for looking after that barbel I have seen this from time to time but never with more than one hook I always have some fish first aid spray with me in case I hook a damaged fish. Had a few with pike bites and always administered the spray. Keep the vids coming pal.
I was fortunate to have a tour around the EA national fish laboratory. The scientists there were not convinced of the benefits and stated in some cases infection could be sealed into a wound.
Great angling session,and some great tips.well done on rescuing that barbel..To many amateurs fishing theses days with the wrong gear,they should watch your videos and learn something..Oza 👍👍
I know this video is a year old but i hope you see this Chris? I fished the Severn where is it regularly match fished. Great roach fishing. I caught a barbel with no less than 8x small hooks in it with light hook lengths! There was so much light line hanging out its gill covers it looked like a rasta. Definitely a maggot lover. It went back a lot lighter😊
You made that Barbels day :O) Unless of course he'd decided to become a Punk rocker. Your videos are superb... simple but effective approach without all the consumerism BS
Your video inspired me go on Amazon and get some fish care antiseptic. I caught a carp in the close season which badly needed treatment and I had nothing. This video reminded me to get hold of some stuff and keep it in my bag.
That fish was born unlucky! We have all lost the odd hook now and then, but 4 is unlucky. Bad anglers kill sport and give anglers a bad name. Well done once again for being a quality angler.
A real pleasure to watch your skills ,easily the best videos I've seen ,but sorry to say that I also hooked a barbel out of the Yorkshire ouse with an unbelievable five hooks in the lips but what was strange was they all seemed to be of the drennan specialist barbel type and all with no line attached I can't for the life of me work out the hardship this fish suffered. Well done matey
Another great video fella, just a thought would you consider maybe making some tutorial videos, your setups are nice and simple but showing how best to tie hooks, make hook lengths, feeder rigs etc would I think get more subscribers and benefit some of us older anglers to maybe do things a bit different. After watching this fishing vlog and a barbel was caught with a mouth full of hooks some had no line attached so poorly tied hooks this I think could be solved by more tutorial videos from persons like yourself who keep their rigs simple many thanks as always.
In the gym catching up on some old videos!! Nothing worse that a Mink, Was out doing cold water therapy this morning in a open lake close by. There was an otter out in the middle, but as we was going into the water I saw what has to be the biggest Pike Iv seen for years, 30lb + an angler was telling me he had one out at 39lb last winter so I’ll be hitting this very soon.
Good photography as well as skilled fishing. Well done on getting the hooks out of that first fish. Two of the hooks were down to bad knot tying and barbel fight very hard so tackle needs to be beefy enoughh for these fish and snaggy swims.
I love angling, have been an angler for more than 70 years Since last year I also fish with barbless hooks only (better late than never) Maybe I lost a few fish due to that, but I am convinced that fishing barbless is limiting the damage to the fish as it enables the angler to unhook the fish easily. Over here (The Netherlands) commercial fisheries allow barbless hooks only, like in GB. Wish legislation would ban the use of all barbed hooks nationwide.
Hey Ginger Fisherman can you do some more underwater barbel action videos i love them and maybe do tests with what baits work best maybe try wafters and corn and meat and banded pellet just a really mixed test see if anything stands out from the rest. Thanks
Great show. The only thing that spoiled it for me was that poxy magpie letting off its evil murdering chatter right at the beginning. I'm a keen angler, and I'm also very handy with a catapult. I don't mean a fishing catapult though. I'm talking about a real catty. A catty that I gear up with a very fast and powerful set of tapered bands, and i shoot 9.5mm steel bearings that fly at 300+ feet per second. There's no sound I like to hear more than the deep thud of a 9.5mm steel bearing impacting on the head of a magpie. (Or straight down its throat, depending on my shooting position). Sorry for the rant, but I couldn't help it bruv. The minute I heard that evil satans spawn screaming over the top of your voice,.....the red mist descended. Like I say, great show and great channel. I watch all your stuff. Tight lines. God bless & be lucky 👌👏👍
great video Chris always carry some wire cutters in my box and antiseptic spray, caught a big tench once was covered in hooks kept it in my keep net took it out every 10 minutes got all the hooks out
Oh god I mean what kind of monster goes out with a line and sharp hooks and hooks it into the fishes mouth 🤦♂️ I mean how could they 😂😂 I do love watching your vids You’re the bear grills of fishing..
This is really sad to see that. Some people can not tigh a not. Ich finde das hast du sehr gut gelöst. Manche angler sollten noch mal die Schule besuchen.
Breaks my heart seeing that with fish couldn’t believe what I was seeing ,I usually take bonjela with me , especially if I fish a place that has match fishing on, as the state of the fishes mouths are a disgrace , no lips , gashes just bullied hate it , I usually rub a bit on them , was shown that by a fisheries owner , helps heal the wounds, it’s antiseptic and numbs any discomfort recommend to keep one in your box , but like the landing net buddy , different than the usual one you have been using? Cracking session, the best ❤️
I wonder how many of those commenting about knots still use blood knots. These slip and strangle the line yet loads of youtubers still recommend this knot I believe that was the only cause. Having said that, quite a few youngsters fish that stretch. On another point you hooked the fish in the nose because you struck too soon, though its a balancing act in jungle swims like that. Personally I prefer to sit upstream and draw the fish up and wait for a full blooded bite. That way you will potentially catch more of them as you aren't creating panic in the holding spot.
Great video, I will never use barbed hooks since my first carp snapped off, at least the fish can get rid of a barbless hook. otherwise love the simplicity of your fishing.👍🏻👍🏻

Too sick bro would love to come with you for a session let me no ile get a van we can go wherever you want 🙏 bigggg fan

I check for hooks everytime I catch a fish. And apart from 1 pike when I was little. I've never found 1. Let. Alone 3 😠. Thank god. You caught it. 👍
Thank you for helping him. As a pike Fisher I find do many lines with hooks with bloody thin mono and big trebles snapped off 😡 absolutely boils by blood !! If you want to fish use the correct equipment or don't fish at all ! Fish care must start with the right equipment on your line 😁 great video as always look forward to your next 👍
Mono?? I'm not a pike angler but wouldn't braid be the usual go to?

Yes keep it simple 👌

Great session mate, like the way you rest the fish... Barbel put so much into the fight, spot on with fish care. Top bloke
It never occurred to me before watching Chris, but now I always rest fish. Just the right thing to do.

The best fish in terms of fighting , really good fun when hook one.. well done
Tench
Dynamite baits better sponsor you soon with the amount of advertising you do for them, then again the bait is quality and works most of the time

We need more fisher people who actually want to be part of the solution for fishing in the future.
Love how much you care and love fishing man awesome to see a great genuine angler keep up the great work man
I really appreciate how you care for the fish mate.
Brilliant upload as ever mate. The trouble is you make it look so easy, however I know that's not the case. They were some fabulous fish combined with a really interesting insight into your methods. Keep posting mate, a real joy to watch.
Well done... Next time I bump into you in Lidl I'll thank you for this.... Top stuff and hi to Dom...
Y'all take care now
All the best Simon
Another cracking video. Thanks Chris.
Lovely bit of fishing there.
Amazing. Well done. That barbel NEEDED the ginger fisherman to actually land her and get all the hooks out
Probably lighter line snagged in the second swim choice and went further down to rest
Great video Chris..I was cringing listening to that line singing when you were playing that 1st fish...thought the line was gonna snap...Good angling
That poor barbel! Happy you managed to sort it out getting rid of these hooks. Was a nice fish 👍
Great video Chris some awesome barbel your fish care is 2nd none mate. And your little tips you give out really are great advice.
That last fish was a beast. Good vid.
Great fish care on show. Scary fishing though, with all that steamer weed!
Well done Chris, that was brilliant, really enjoyed the vid. Just goes to show how you don't need to complicate things 👍👍👍
Cheer up mate th-cam.com/video/jWEXTsiP-WY/w-d-xo.html

Enjoy your videos thank you very much you’re awesome 😎✌️😃
Keep it up 👍
Well done for the dental work on that 1st fish! Proper angler! 👌🎣
Thanks for shaving the fish. God bless you.
Great job fella.👍👍
Well done pal and thank you for looking after that barbel I have seen this from time to time but never with more than one hook I always have some fish first aid spray with me in case I hook a damaged fish. Had a few with pike bites and always administered the spray. Keep the vids coming pal.
Every angler should carry anti septic in there box👍
I was fortunate to have a tour around the EA national fish laboratory. The scientists there were not convinced of the benefits and stated in some cases infection could be sealed into a wound.
I agree it's mandatory on my waters
Nature doesn’t need chemicals
@@darrenmeddings7484 spastic not knowing anti septic can legit help healing and prevent infection

Too many amateurs? You are the casual!
Love your videos and content keep up the good work

Super nice video 👍🏻cheers from Norway🇳🇴
I love your videos mate, they're simply awesome, an you just make fishing Damm fun mate.
Well done geezer. Poor barbel.
Well done , great skills fella!! 🇬🇧 ✊🏼
Good jobs brother
Nice catch!
Ginge mate you did for that fish👍
Excellent video!

Was out doing cold water therapy this morning in a open lake close by.
There was an otter out in the middle, but as we was going into the water I saw what has to be the biggest Pike Iv seen for years, 30lb + an angler was telling me he had one out at 39lb last winter so I’ll be hitting this very soon.
Another quality video, missed out on the opportunity to show the NUMPTIES how to tie a knot though😁👍
Thats because they dont fix the line very good on the hook.
Hi thank you for helping him out with the hooks
fish was clearly into piercings, 10 points for style :) badass
I can't believe he caught that monster with a size 8 hook!
I always thought the bigger the hook the bigger the fish, but he prove me wrong.
Size 8 is a pretty big hook to be fair, not much need for any bigger for barbel, no matter what the size.
Chris, looking at the other 2 hooks in the mouth there was no line attached? - lessons in knot tying required!
Good photography as well as skilled fishing. Well done on getting the hooks out of that first fish. Two of the hooks were down to bad knot tying and barbel fight very hard so tackle needs to be beefy enoughh for these fish and snaggy swims.
good on you for taking the hooks out, but every fresh water fisherman should have a bottle of propolis in there kit for treatment on fish wound!!
👍🇬🇧

I wonder how many of those commenting about knots still use blood knots. These slip and strangle the line yet loads of youtubers still recommend this knot I believe that was the only cause. Having said that, quite a few youngsters fish that stretch. On another point you hooked the fish in the nose because you struck too soon, though its a balancing act in jungle swims like that.

Why I always carry fish care if I come across wounds... Nice job buddy #fishcare1st always.
Chris in that matters I thing you should make a video about how to tide a knot for Barble and what line to use. Don’t u think?
My local creek of the river Thames there are so many fisherman there now compared to 10 15 years ago. Fishing very popular now
It's incredible how few fishermen can tie any knots these days.
Great video, I will never use barbed hooks since my first carp snapped off, at least the fish can get rid of a barbless hook. otherwise love the simplicity of your fishing.👍🏻👍🏻
