Just when you thought Chris has done everything possible like catching pike on a dead mouse or an empty Prime bottle he then comes up with more brilliant content, definitely one of the most innovative angles on TH-cam
Mate I'm fishing 30 yrs. Now getting my kids into it. Love your chanel and find it very therapeutic. I watch your content with the kids to get them excited about fishing. For me the appeal of fishing is the age old man against fish in nature that makes it so much fun. Please don't turn it into another digital outlet . Love the channel. When I can't fish I watch all your vids. Learnt loads all these years later
Brilliant work mate, so cool to see what happens at the bait. So many years of anticipation watching the tip of a rod or a float and relying on spidy finger senses. This brings both worlds together perfectly.
oh man your videos always surprise me! absolutely incredible footage as per usual! also very jealous of your local fishing spots, here in the north our canals/rivers aren't so good, you should come down north and try them ;)
Fascinating...Great work buddy. Really enjoyed that..it's very interesting to see how they take. It's also very interesting to see them dismiss some of the bait. I wouldn't use this as a fishing method but I would use it to learn the feeding habits of the fish etc. Thankyou.
Chris i always cut the worm a little to let out the blood and Amino acids..that way i received more aggressive bites..i caught an 3lb Eel my first of the season in Chelmsford Essex..Love ur videos
I do enjoy seeing fish take a bait under water it's amazing what devices you can link together technology is so impressive what we see now compared to what John Wilson showed us but he was still the boss in my opinion I grew up on John's go fishing 🎣
I loved the video. I live on the Gulf of Mexico and was wondering how it would appear in the ocean. Hey, even possibly rig two go-pros to make binocular vision?
Oh mate how I miss the UK angling and watching your vids at smoko at work is just top notch. I have to say the Ozzie fisihng is good but nowt like fishing a canal/river or lake back home. Until next time :)
Tench are one of my all time favourite course fishing fishes, along with Perch, then Bream. Tench fight pretty well when you have a good one. I remember at Halsham pond one took me into the reeds trying to get away a right little fighter for it's size it was only around 2lb or something maybe a shade more but boy it didn't wanna come in. I had the picture for years. Don't know where that went I just lost it over time. It's apparently not there anymore Halsham.
That's unbelievable. Those glasses are so cool . I'm a macko hunter. I can't imagine seeing a 300 lb macko take a bait, but it would be awesome to see. I wonder how deep you can go down and still see.great video .and all sharks that I catch are released
Absolutely fantastic and interesting to watch. It would be pretty cool to link a lure camera to VR glasses. They will probably be invented soon enough. You’ve definitely got the ball rolling there. This will inspire the tech world for sure.
Wonder what signal propagation is like from the co-ax stub. We need some Ham advice here but stub cut to correct length or adding a wifi aerial you "might" be able to do away with the whole cable run. I'm imagining coax from Gopro to a float bung on top with the aerial pointing vertically from the top. Like a giant Avon float. Might be more flexible. I'll put my geek coat away...
ooo you'e got me thinking now 🤔. Do you recon a wifi antenna for a pc network card would work? It would certainly be the right size to fit inside a larger float
@@The_ginger_fisherman Yes, a wifi antenna would be the most appropriate thing. As to signal range, the dice would be rolling. Maybe a bucket of water in the back garden could give you an idea. It will be all about how much of the signal gets re-radiated and it might be very low indeed. As it's simple enough to do, a lashed up experiment rig to test would do no harm 🙂
Good day sir. I think this type stuff is cool. In my fishing I use castable units to find depth, feature find, etc.. I also use a traditional marker rod and setup. Tech is a thing to be embraced. This seems so simple. I know you don’t want to divulge much info, but from the video, you seem to have only taped a coax cable to the camera and phone, which if I understand correctly is capturing the WiFi signal and transmitting it via the coax cable. Hard to see in the video, other than raping the cable near the WiFis on each do you have anything actually plugged into the phone or camera that links the two? Vet interesting as a hobby of mine that I am slowly getting back into is video and photography outside of just fishing, more for documentary reasons. If this simple they could really catapult my photos and vids to a whole new level. Would appreciate an answer. Great video. Thank you for sharing.
What I find interesting is you using sweet corn for perch bait I use that for carp and you said about using some dead bait for the pike while here I use live bait like whole sunfish or bream...👍🏼
Your stretch of canal is just unbelievable. Crystal clear with as much life as a chalk stream. If only all our waterways were so good. I'm surrounded by canals, but none like this one. The clearest you ever get round here is like a weak cuppa tea 😢
Chris you have taken underwater footage to the more than next level, I think I will now have to call you the fishing professor 😃, awesome video, extremely well done Chris 👍👍👍
You know what’s funny is in the future we’ll look at this footage and laugh at how huge the setup was for the underwater footage. Well done though. Absolutely brilliant
So up here in northern Minnesota we put ice fishing houses on ice with underwater cameras (marcum or aquaview) then use the video out option and hook them up to big screen tv in fish house. Its like video game for the kids. Also for a fishing show that i work with. We make bullet camera mount that we hooked lure on and trolled. Then we could see all the fist strikes and fish swipes. (Stike is bite) ( swipe is when they hit bait with cheek or get close to bait in a aggressive way) its cool content.
We have done the same trick to get a wireless metal detector to work under water but never seen that method used this way before! Brilliant bit of ingenuity and what a video you got out of it! Amazing footage!
Its funny you should say that. A friend of mine messaged me when I uploaded this video saying the exact same thing! I do have the insta 360 x3 , so Im going to be giving it a go soon ;)
I was doing this trick with my dad years ago! I'd heard of it, and gave it a try with some TV coax, same as you. It worked, but not brilliantly. I then found some better (and thinner) cable, I forget the name of it now, which improved it and was easier to use in the field (well, river, actually!). I read up on the theory, and it's actually very complex indeed, involving cable resonances and all sorts of stuff I forget now. In the end, I found the antenna lengths could be tuned to great effect, which I largely did with a big bucket of water and trial and error. That said, you seem to be getting good results with just some arbitrary length of wire protruding from the cable, so that's great! I expect the wireless chips on both camera and phone are far better than they were 6/7 years ago!
What amazes me is the Pike attack the deadbaits so quickly but don't attack the live Rudd in the swim. I wonder why? Oh. And nice canal slab at the end Chris too. 👍🙂
@@zanderdaukantas4155 maybe because the lures have more flash and pop to them aswell as the other fish trying to avoid the pike while with lures you can cast right on top of them and what not and also a lot of lures make sound thus drawing the attention to the lure but this is all just my best guess and some fishing knowledge
Great stuff ! New to lure fishing, and have just got a new lure rod and reel set up with braid. However, do I use the braid straight through to the lure, or put a mono or fluorocarbon leader.. If so, what length should the leader be. Thanks for any advice. I will be mainly river fishing for perch and chub.
As always amazing footage and concept! I always think an actual series on TV by you would be WAY better than the trash served to us regularly! Keep up the amazing work 👍
You wanna know what pisses me off. When I was 10, so like 30 years ago, I designed a reel that did everything. It paired with a screen that used two pads that pinched the line, you did a calibration pull in water. Just cast the lure and reel it in in calibration mode, then when a fish would bite, the increase in line tension would read a weight of fish on the line. I also designed a lure that had a triggered hook and camera feed. You could trigger the hook release when you saw a fish coming so your wouldn’t lose the lure on logs.
That’s super cool! Probably not an ideal way to fish, kinda kills the vibe of enjoying nature while fishing (in my opinion), but it’s very cool none the less! I would 100% try this out if I had the opportunity though I’d like to see this done with deep sea fishing, don’t think the cameras would go that deep though (maybe one day)
Great video and very cool footage. I like that you made the setup yourself! Its also possible to buy this tech plug and play. The brand is called SEAVU and you can find tutorials online. Very cool
When I saw the name of the video I had to check if it was the 1st of April, and when you started taping a coaxial cable to your GoPro I figured you'd gone mad. But I stand corrected. Nicely done, Chris! Always entertaining videos from you! ❤
Wow man. I spent the last couple days catching grasscarp and I can't strike a lot of the fish I wish I'd have a camera like this and I could see what's going on down there I'm catching them like maybe 3-4 meters away from shore so it would be possible with a camera. Biggest one was 75cm maybe a bit more I didn't want to have the fish out of water too long so I quickly measured it and went to put him back into the water. There was a couple times where my drag was absolutely screaming when the fish was taking it away but it either snagged the line around some branch or something or it just didn't take the hook in so that has me wondering what could've that been. The grasscarp are extra careful when taking the bait so it's often like 7-8x the line is running I try to set the hook and out of those 7-8 times I hook like 2 fish so I would really love to know what's going on there. Who knows I definitely plan on getting an action camera in the future so maybe someday.
Have a search for korda underwater fishing, theyve done a whole series of video's/dvd's chasing carp. although they use motorised pan and tilt cameras. That Tench must of seen your hook and shyed away from it. Have watched carp do it hundreds of times. however your camera glasses are cool no doubt. 👍
I actually work with some of the biggest fishing brands in the industry and have done for a few years now. The work I do Is kind of "freelance" though, so I'm not limited to what products I use and what content I can make. If that makes sense.
This was awesome! I wonder if that pike spat the fish out when it saw the other pike because the second pike was bigger so the first one gave its meal to the 2nd one instead of becoming the 2nd one’s meal 😂
Now imagine tossing a 360 degrees down there and use the glasses for a look around
That’s insane... and then mount it to a remote controlled device that you can drive around underwater the possibilities are endless!
To be honest thats what I assumed he would do.
That’s called a fish finder
i was kind of expecting that was what he was doing
@@rideronthewhitehorse AND with a couple of load mini spear guns.. Be eating fish forever
I love seeing ppl finding new ways to be innovative with this setup. Good on you.
Fishing can be boring most of the times, congratulations you just made it more entertaining 😂😂😂👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯
Slow the video to 0.5 and skip to 0:04. When you shook the glasses a metal piece flew off of them.

Amazing footage! Interesting how various fish of different species turned their noses up at the bait. They definitely saw something they didn't like.
This is taking "I don't fish, I catch" to a whole different level.. good on ya 👏 😊
That was brilliant Chris. Love your enthusiasm.
Brilliant work mate, so cool to see what happens at the bait. So many years of anticipation watching the tip of a rod or a float and relying on spidy finger senses. This brings both worlds together perfectly.
Absolutely brilliant Chris!!! Real ingenuity, great work and fascinating to watch the Tench and Pikes behavior!!!
You've pretty much caught a fish every way possible now 😂
Apart from with his bare hands haha
I like your profile pic , ynwa
@@danherrington347 I feel like I recall hes done this 🤣
Haven't seen the video where he gets his own maggot out 🤣🤣🤣 sorry ginger fisherman 😂

I enjoyed watching that underwater footage, healthy water there with an abundance of fish.🎣
I stumbled on this video and couldn't stop watching. Nice job. It was awesome watching those pike snatch the bait!

What a honey pot of a canal. Amazing footage Chris~
This was insanity…. But you know what this means Chris, 360 VR live view is next and now you’ve figured out the cable it’s oh so easy 👀
My immediate thought too! Live stream the VR view and we can all go fishing with him :-)
Fascinating...Great work buddy. Really enjoyed that..it's very interesting to see how they take. It's also very interesting to see them dismiss some of the bait.
I wouldn't use this as a fishing method but I would use it to learn the feeding habits of the fish etc.
Thankyou.

Nice to see. Brings me back to my old idea to a glasbottom boat. Better says a kanoe
What vr glasses are you using ? brand ?
Little Perch "leave it ,leave it" "why has he left it!? LOL We fishermen are never happy.
What a brilliant idea and you achieved it with aplomb. Amazing Footage and great catches.
Love watching fish react to bait under water especially those pike and the other fish that turned away last second
What kind of glasses do you use? I am a quadriplegic and that set up could have many amazing uses for the handicapped! THANK YOU so much.

@@reubenc0039 yeah I get ya mate didn’t even think about filming doing my fishing while at home.
Brilliant Chris, loved it even though I wouldn't use it whilst fishing
I'm a bit old fashioned I like fishing as it is an a bit of a mystery ....... That said it's incredible what you've done and very interesting viewing
This is absolutely amazing footage, like usual! Keep up being so innovative and creative! Love that!❤
Nice video thanks - the little fish around = the baits, how you brits call it?
Fantastic piece of techno DIY. It’s basically a remote operated camera with an umbilical. Common in maritime work. That’s how you get live ROV feeds
Cheers much, for showing us, how it’s done 😊❤

What model glasses are they Chris? What a first!! Just brilliant!!
I must of played that back twice. "No, don't take my bait! You little . . . . 😂
Not going to lie i took pleasure in dispatching some of those little bas****s to use as bait 😂
I wonder if those cheap endoscopes would work. You can get them with long cables that could easily reach float fishing distance
