watched you lift the trophy last week and do you know what I wasn't surprised . There was to many anglers that were either pike or perch specialist but we (your loyal followers) knew you had the all round game to lift that trophy. Well done sir👏
Not really different anglers fish better because waters they target have more pike or perch in! You think ash Costa couldn’t sack up on pike if there was there!
Those mushrooms were Turkey Tail, whilst not nummy to eat, they have INCREDIBLE health benefits, great to make into a tincture, Great to see so many growing, must get out to the woods and collect a few!
Loch lomond in Scotland, biggest eels in the uk that I ever seen, you must row out your spam or liver baits out in a boat and drop them over 150 meters out into the deep . Use a BIG bait and big hook so smaller eels can nibble but not get hooked this activity attracts the specimens of up to 9lbs some even bigger like small conger. The biggest eel I ever caught was on a whole frozen burger moulded onto the hook in a sausage shape and dropped over 200yds from shore from a rowboat . It weighed 10lbs 11oz
Once we went to fish places like this. These holes get filled with water when the river rises, the fishes go there but they get trapped. I got 32 pike from one of them - ofc released all of them back into the river. They were so hungry, they had eaten literally everything.
Chris another great session. You make such challenging venues effortless. When really that is tough fishing with great results. As always great fish care and great water craft. Thanks .
Excellent video . One interesting thing is that I'm from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada, and everybody that I grew up with called Pike , Jack fish or more commonly Jack's . I'm 68 and have known since a teen that some people call them Pike , but only because I've always been a voracious reader . We also always called Walleye , Pickerel . And Freshwater Drum , we called Silver Bass . But an hour north of here on gigantic Lake Winnipeg ( 9000 ) square miles , Drum are called Sunfish . PS , being an old guy I still call all three by their local names .
Congratulations on winning the YPC 2023! 🎉 Knew you could do it and really hoped you would! Seeing that huge pike on Day 1 of group stage AND your masterful recovery of (another) lost landing net showed you were the lure fishing guy to beat! *bow* 🙇🙇🙇
Certainly a great days fishing. I'm not fortunate enough to fish such prolific waters, on mine if you got one pike. You'd be very pleased, more often than not you blank. Those lures were always called plugs don't know when their name was changed but it confuses me when you say jerk or swim baits. The only other lures that we used to use were spinners or spoons.
Gill rakers ...arterial blood..delicate.. Interesting place Interesting fishing...those pike probably supplement their diet with all manner of woodland creatures.. epically in floods..
What a cool place to explore, thank you for sharing your fishing! I've been curious how your predator species would respond to my favorite rig, the weedless underspin paired with a soft jerk bait or swim bait. Our northern pike love anything that flashes and spins so they always smash my owner flashy swimmer.
Don't know if you will see this comment but I'm new to your channel and I love it pal. Great content. I've been carp fishing for years but wanna tackle the river now. Can you give me any tips on what tackle to get.. rods reels, line, lures etc. I'm a proper noob to this.. thanks 👍👍
Hi mate. I have a lake near me thats choked with weed. Each cast is a painful waste of time. How can i approach it? Stressing me out and i feel like im just wasting my damn time unless its spring/summer and use surface lures. Can never tempt them with a deadbait either. Im stumped.
What are you using on damaged fish? I hardly ever came across hurt fish, lately I've been catching several pikes, eels and even a catfish by hooking them somewhere along the body. No idea why this is a thing now, but I'd like to do a bit of repairing. Especially the eels really do damage, I killed two of them that had more or less gutted themselves. The actual working compound would help, Dutch retailers don't buy much UK gear anymore.
You are striking the hook too late, the fish is brushing your line and you are reacting to that, perhaps try a different rig to ensure the fish does t foul hook when you strike, the other reason is they might be checking your offering first before attacking, but I would say that you are striking far too late after the fish has investigated and brushed your line. What you are doing though is damaging fish stocks and if they don't heal quickly you are encouraging disease to the fish, there are plenty of fish antiseptics available mainly aimed at carp fisherman.
Guys I’ve got a new lure setup for Christmas and I’m struggling to catch pike in every canal does anyone have any advice. I’m using a Rapala x-rap peto which has had very decent reviews so I’m stuck and need help.

Those forgotten ponds look like the perfect place for a bit of big eel fishing 😮

@@captainflint89I thought eel fishing was forbidden in Scotland? A 10lb'er would be a dream wow
these are open to fishing for anyone. Free fishing as well

Love your show man I watch everyone of them. Would love To come down there

Brilliant,would like to see some bfs in those conditions Chris. Great video again .👍
Thanks for all the great videos throughout the year 🦈🦈🦈🦈
i reckpn the snag bros beat you to it and had all the doubles out before you got there lol....great content..love this channel👌👌
Weather looks nice over there
great video, well done, and super performace in ypc, best of luck in amsterdam
As a sea angler. Some of your content really wants me to try a bit. (Dare I say it) poaching. Very light spinning gear and small lures. Looks fun.
Can recommend Weihrauch HW45 stuck in your waders for dealing with goosanders.
Perfect quality video!
Awesome fishing Chris! 🔥🎣

Beautifully marked fish

I am so impressed with your skills, and you fish areas a lot of us would overlook. You deserve all your catches. Dave B , Chichester West Sussex
Brilliant video mate

Greetings from Denmark

Great fishing 🎣👍
Hi Chris any chance of doing a video on how to set up bait caster reel for lure fishing many thanks Tim
quick question Chris! do you use a mono leader from your braid or do you rig your braid straight to a wire trace. thanks a lot
Awesome vid Chris
Great vid as always
Brilliant camera work.
Привет,классная рыбалка и красивые места👍
Gill rakers ...arterial blood..delicate..

Beautiful ginger beard! "Men Only" beard fertilizer I assume?
good stuff
Although the fish weren't big the sport was great. Great session Chris. 🙂
Doesn't matter what you do Chris, great content as always.
Don't know if you will see this comment but I'm new to your channel and I love it pal. Great content. I've been carp fishing for years but wanna tackle the river now. Can you give me any tips on what tackle to get.. rods reels, line, lures etc. I'm a proper noob to this.. thanks 👍👍
Absolutely love you’re videos best on TH-cam , what Underwater camera do you use ??
Have you ever fished the Erewash canal/river , if so do you know if there is anything good in there 👍🎣?
❤🎄❤ AUGURI ❤️🎄❤️
The quality of your footage is brilliant, do you use a go pro. If so what settings?
Do you no the pike with a broken back on the canel it’s still floating down the canel bless it
Have you made this your full-time job yet or are you still working another job? Love the vid as always mate
Do you use a wire trace with your lures ,it looks like the line is tied direct to the lure.
Brill as allways
Love your content so real and honest. Do you not ever use spinners like a nice honest silver one classic ?
Please post that clip on the trophy I cant find it chris
Can anyone tell me what pray he's using? I'd be keen on using that too when sport fishing
Congratulations Chris with a win 🏆 you showed those guy's 👌💪💪 so called professionals 😂 pretotor angler's....
I'll watch whatever you want to film Chris......
Is this Hay-a-park lakes at the bottom of Knarseborough?
Defiantly not!
is this desinfection spray? Can you actually use that for fish too?
ROONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great 😊
Hi mate.
I have a lake near me thats choked with weed. Each cast is a painful waste of time.
How can i approach it?
Stressing me out and i feel like im just wasting my damn time unless its spring/summer and use surface lures.
Can never tempt them with a deadbait either. Im stumped.
New bike Chris?
Ginger how many pike have u caught all together?
I actually enjoy catching smaller fish on ultralight than a big fish on heavy gear.
They’re much more agile and quicker. Gods truth, I prefer it.
I didn't understand how did the 3th pike get the wound, can someone explain? Thanks,
Goosander is a predator bird.
@@ihcfn thank you!
You're welcome.@@snowboard1805
How do you catch in coloured water? im having no luck, using rattling bright coloured lures 😔
Crackin....
Where do you get your antiseptic spray from please mate?
Most tackle shops should stock it ,or plenty of mail order outlets .
@@sturoe7361 thank you👍🏻
Just wondering where abouts in the country you fish

What bikebis that?
I might figure out a trailer for the bike and drag a kayak back there…
whats that spray called
All my waters are flooded i cant fish 😭
Can you catch zander for me
Guys I’ve got a new lure setup for Christmas and I’m struggling to catch pike in every canal does anyone have any advice. I’m using a Rapala x-rap peto which has had very decent reviews so I’m stuck and need help.
Catching fish is not about the equipment, it's about learning to read the nature. Try learning where and when pikes are biting.
The Peto will definitely catch fish, but only if fish are there.
I use a natural coloured Peto but never fish canals, only lakes and rivers.
