Brilliant underwater footage. What I found interesting was for the first second or two they didn't realise they were hooked and got me thinking about striking on a bite, maybe I should wait a little longer before hitting the bite. Thanks for a great video.
I caught a 2lb 11oz Perch on the river Weaver many years ago,to me the most beautiful fresh water fish. I have ever seen since it was my first catch in 1958 with my dad on winsrsford flashes,all 3oz of it, however your camera work I have never seen before and it is absolutely fantastic,please keep it up.
The paternoster on a short weight leader, is probably the ideal rig for circle hooks, because the fish hooks itself almost immediately as it pulls against the lead.
Amazing how fishes are so closer ! How the camera does not affray them, how they are so calm in your hands, as if they were feeling your love ;-) Thank's a lot for these times up&underwatter ))
Very astonishing insights into the life under water. I love such Videos, I really love the high quality of your videos, very nice. Keep it up, iam excited for your upcoming videos.
I'm continually amazed at the size of the Perch in your water systems. I wish we had fisheries like that here in Wisconsin and Northern Michigan. But then the people would destroy them in no time by over fishing.
ahaha :D Just 1 example...We tried perch fishing 50 times this year. My biggest one was around 1 pound...Caught some pike, zander , and few diff species, but big perch is a jackpot and rrly hard to get. Ppl use special nets for Perch and they destroyed 95% of our lakes/ponds...No law + stupid ppl = No fish
I have caught 50+ in a session on any number of occasions, and thrown them up on the bank. Take them home for compost as I don't eat fish. Up to a couple of kilo. Just to take the piss and rub it in. However! They are a feral pest that is endangering our natives and they are like rabbits. In fact, it is illegal to return them in many states.
*****YOU MUST READ THIS FULL COMMENT!!***** Nice perch, but certainly no monster as the title implies. I just finished watching a lake fishing video in Norway where they were consistently pulling out insanely sized perch unlike anything I have ever seen before. Can you imagine a 7 pound perch? I couldn’t until I saw that video! They caught a bunch of four pounders and even a few 5 and six pounders! It really was an unbelievable watch! I should link you to it and come back and edit this post for you to see it. Btw it’s ok if your perch aren’t that size, I enjoy seeing one and two pounder perch caught...the right size for the frying pan! They certainly are not monster sized perch though! Keep up the good work, I will be back with that link! ****Here you go my red headed friend! Check out the video below on catching monster perch. It is literally unbelievable how they managed to catch so many insanely huge perch on a single day of fishing. Be sure to watch the second day of fishing as the first part on day one they got skunked. Day 2 is like they received a blessing from the fish god or something! It is so unreal of a video that I had to watch it twice! Enjoy!**** ***Edit: as promised I came back to edit my comment and add the craziest perch video in TH-cam below!*** th-cam.com/video/3XZv7mV8_IM/w-d-xo.html
The video you were watching wasn’t in Norway but in the Netherlands, I live in the Netherlands and sometimes I catch perch that are over 5/6 pounds and they put up a great fight!
I understand live baiting is not everyones cup of tea, it's a subject that always raises strong emotions and views. However something is confusing me in these comments I'm reading... Can I just ask all you people out there commenting about how you don't agree with live baiting, why are you here, watching a video that clearly states in the title "live baiting" for perch? I suggest you all f off and watch a video about dead baiting instead. Love your channel. Great video as always, keep em coming dude.
Those who object to putting hooks into live fish should perhaps have a good long think about what they are saying.? and might want to take up another pastime.
I suggest its you that needs to take up another pastime, rather than posting silly comments on a subject you obviously know very little about. The word " troll " springs to mind.
Do you always consider that people who hold different views to you ''obviously know very little''.?...that is called being an exceptionally arrogant presumptious fool I have been fishing for Perch (and Pike) since the early 1960s, and while I never claim that I know all there is to know, but I do know through the long years of trial and error the pros and cons of the different methods. I do know for sure that fishing involves hooks going into fish, a reality which you seem to be uncomfortable with. The word to describe you which readily 'springs to mind' isn't one which I care to post online
Amazing size on those perch very nice underwater catch footage. Especially with the way the pervhbare holding the bait and you set with out the hooking but still they go right back on to the bait. Amazing
really enjoyed this, I remember ur post on that page on FB, so I knew u would be at somepoint trying this kind of video on circle hooks, its interesting to see, cos I have had great success on them when ledgering lives, but not when float fished lives... so u ledgering I knew would smash it. you get some great footage chris. keep them coming pal
ZeusesCannons in Croatia Barbel are so easy to catch whenever you see a barbel just throw me sweetcorn and then throw a few pieces of corn on a hook and it always bites that simple! I only got my first proper rod this year but last year I caught 3 big barbel in 10 minutes just with those rods which you use for minnows, which just have one circle at the end of it which you tie your line to and no reel
ZeusesCannons I think that they bite on a lot of things, as they have also been known to feed on minnows, also maybe it would be harder to catch them in more heavily fished areas, but it seems to me they take on loads of different baits, and they put up much more of a fight than other fish I have caught of the same size
Wow!! Too many couch anglers in here crying about the poor little live bait ahahahahahaha You do realize what this is right? It's fishing, not a vegan assembly!! People getting over sensitive on fish-care, don't do this and don't do that need a reminder! Next fish you catch, take home, fry it, eat it, remember what the real meaning is to all this. Honor what nature gave you by EATING IT. The whole meaning of catch and release was to.... keep it healthy, so that you can take some more home in the future! Over sensitivity about a fish's life it's just a 21st century schizophrenic phenomenon just like the vegans are.
Amen to that brother, but, unfortunately we(or, at least the majority of people) are not true Christians lol thus everything we do has a selfish background... others? What others? Often, what we think of doing is not what originally triggered the action, is not what motivated the action. 99% of "C&R" anglers do it just because everyone else is doing it... and slowly becomes an obsession.
And your point is? I like fishing so you are likely to see me on fishing videos. My question is, as you are obviously against fishing judging by the comment you sent me on the other thread, why are you on fishing videos? A lonely troll perhaps?
Caveman Protogonos LOL, you are so wrong...Using alive fish as a bait is torturing to the bait fish and fishing should not be torturing. using alive bait fish is pure cruelty to animals. Responsibility is part of fishing and that means for example not to cause unnecessary pain and suffering to animals. Sorry to say but you sound like weak and insecure wannabe psychopath teeny bopper who think that he is a tough guy when being cruel to helpless animals. Be a real man and be responsible on your actions. You give bad reputation all the good fisher and hunter by being a total asshole. ps. your ultimate egocentric way to see world and people's actions is unnatural. naturally humans are build to work together and do non-egotistic actions. In the time of cavemen you would be punished because of your sociopath and egocentric approach. Now you can play with your delusional ego and be a super egoistic, but that is a false which will backfire to you big time.
Biggest perch I ever caught while growing up in Saskatchewan was around one pound. Perch are really great fish to pan fry and eat as their meat is white, firm and flaky. As well, perch takes well being salted and dried for preserving over long periods of time but typically this is only a traditional Asian method of preserving fish for long periods of time where there were no means of refrigeration like we have today.
I appreciate that but in the UK we really pride ourself on catch and release especially due to the problems we’ve had over the years with these coarse fish
Using alive fish is a total cruelty to animals. Alive fish should never be used as a bait. In many countries it is forbidden to use alive fish as a bait because it is cruelty to animals. For example in the Ireland it has been forbidden by law for decades.
The Ginger Fisherman Yeah, the point was that it is cruelty to animals...every responsible fisher respect the nature and the animals. Specially you should respect fish, because you are a fisher. And because you make videos, which many watch. So they learn good and bad habits from you. You should specially think kids and children who watch your videos...
+merry ferry agreed, in a fast stream you can easily substitute a plastic fish or a long thin silver spoon. This is not a good image of fishing to broadcast, when our hobby is continually under threat from animal rights folks. Good fishing action and great footage, wish I had an aquarium like that but quit the live baits, it's not necessary.
+merry ferry stop trolling,its common practice in many countries to use live baits including here in australia,what's funny is the bait is usually part of the target fish normal diet.Stick to your basket weaving yeh.
+Trent Mcintosh I am not trolling. Fish also feel pain and suffer. There is lots of artificial bait for use. For 99% people fishing is a hobby, so no need for torturing the fish as a bait. Least what a fishers can do for the fish is not cause any unnecessary pain and suffering while fishers are practicing their hobby. In spite of the fact fisher take all from the fish, the life of the fish, they should not cause any unnecessary pain and suffering to the catch or other fish...
At a guess I’d say it was a Yorkshire river. Great video and I loved the underwater footage. I used to use small Gudgeon for perch up to 3 1/2 lb. At that size they take on an almost prehistoric look. Very angular and muscular.
ginger first time i have come across your videos, great under water camera work . nice perch also. i love the colours from large perch .they are not slimy either. i noticed a barbel . good little river also . a lot of the good rivers near me. are mostly run by clubs . looking forward to your next video . well done .
Another great video dude. So lucky to have such clear water. If you get chance I'd love to see an underwater lure video. Ned Rigs seem to be killing for Perch at the moment and as they are fished quite static it would be interesting to see fishes reactions. Keep up the good work in any event.
Legend has it, that umbrella is still there!
I bought it off him for a tenner.
Other legends says the camera is still trying to focus
Well ,umbrella Is necessary with rain.....😁🤷
@@serfish101 It doesn't actually rain underwater matey.
legend says that if you like the ginger fisherman video the button will turn blue!
Brilliant underwater footage. What I found interesting was for the first second or two they didn't realise they were hooked and got me thinking about striking on a bite, maybe I should wait a little longer before hitting the bite. Thanks for a great video.
Legend mate under water footage is brilliant it’s good to see them feed 👍🏻
Absolutely awesome thanks for sharing!
Excellent underwater footage again Chris.
So clear river so smooth movie. Love it!
I caught a 2lb 11oz Perch on the river Weaver many years ago,to me the most beautiful fresh water fish.
I have ever seen since it was my first catch in 1958 with my dad on winsrsford flashes,all 3oz of it, however your camera work I have never seen before and it is absolutely fantastic,please keep it up.
Ginger fisherman you have become my top fave fishing vids. Love how you show fish caught underwater, just brilliant mate.
My fist time watching your videos - brilliant stuff - you've got me hooked! -
Always used jigs or worms for perch will be ordering some circle hooks 👍 cracking fish.
The paternoster on a short weight leader, is probably the ideal rig for circle hooks, because the fish hooks itself almost immediately as it pulls against the lead.
Amazing how fishes are so closer ! How the camera does not affray them, how they are so calm in your hands, as if they were feeling your love ;-)
Thank's a lot for these times up&underwatter ))
i wish i had river like this in my country...
You have ! Learn fishing haha
no, he hasnt...
I dont ... i am fishing 12 years in true lakes and rivers not like you in fcking restaurant
Michal Licko where do you live buddy?
I live in slovakia :/ its not like czech republic ... they have rivers like this but we dont
That’s so awesome how your filming the underwater catch.
I really enjoy your content Chris, been following since the ol' chrisnsam days! Your stuff is really unique and always enjoyable.
Luv the umbrella lol great fish
I thought it`s an umbrella at 2:14 ...
Ha ha, yep!
Very astonishing insights into the life under water. I love such Videos, I really love the high quality of your videos, very nice. Keep it up, iam excited for your upcoming videos.
Hey
your underwater filming is nicely done. congratulations
Cracking vid and cracking fish ! Learned loads - thanks Chris - top drawer as always
First class video. Nicely done.
I'm continually amazed at the size of the Perch in your water systems. I wish we had fisheries like that here in Wisconsin and Northern Michigan. But then the people would destroy them in no time by over fishing.
So true. People don't know how to catch and release.
Different species
That barbel was chill 😂
Such brilliant footage. Thankyou for sharing. 😀👍🐟
Amazing underwater photography, so clear
The water clarity! Beautiful perch too, what county are you fishing bud? Lovely barbel spotted too!
great size perch..good luck fisherman..
Love these underwater filming vids, come then coming 👍🏻
Best footage iv seen of perch biting. Awesome!
Your vids are awesome. One question, do you fix the weight or is it free running up the line above the swivel?
Looks like a fixed weight, I assume, the idea being to minimize the movement of the live bait.
How are those fish not spooked by you? It's like your fishing in an aquarium
Perch aren't the smartest fish. Overall very easy to catch.
Superb underwater filming. Great stuff 👍🏻
Thanks for this fantastic video.How lucky you are to have such a nice river whith all these perchs in so clear water.
try to catch em on the ultralight fishing gear
0,5 - 0,75oz glass tip, main line something like 1,5-2lbs and for ex. a picker rod :)
My favorite type of fishing :) Wish there were some big perch like these in my country...But they are as rare as a unicorn xD
ahaha :D Just 1 example...We tried perch fishing 50 times this year.

Well done
I was more interested in the barbel .
I'm very happy to see circle hooks being used. Last time I tried to buy some they weren't easy to get though. I got mine when in America.
Thoroughly enjoyed the video man. Great work

Lovely to see those perch, & caught on live Baits, well done, 😁
Excellent under water photography. Its awesome to see them take the bait 👍
really enjoyed watching this, thank you
Not sure about live baiting but underwater camera work excellent .
Just a barbel in the corner minding its own business!
Fantastic footage!!! Best video I've seen...
Absolutely great footage!
Fried Perch is very good
Best tasting fish there is!
I dont know if the perch is 20 years old but i do know they fry up great. The best!
I understand live baiting is not everyones cup of tea, it's a subject that always raises strong emotions and views. However something is confusing me in these comments I'm reading...

Love your channel. Great video as always, keep em coming dude.
I came here to see the monster perch not the livebaiting.
I would rather not catch big perch than catch them with live fish.
Oh and...f off yourself!
And just how would you know whether the fish is traumatised or not?
Those who object to putting hooks into live fish should perhaps have a good long think about what they are saying.? and might want to take up another pastime.
I suggest its you that needs to take up another pastime, rather than posting silly comments on a subject you obviously know very little about.

Terrific video. Love being able to watch the fishies eat the bait.
What kind of fish are hiding under the perch 5:41?
I believe it's a barbel.
Thanks Lukasz
That my friend is an ill looking barbel
It's a catfish you spazz that ain't no barble
TEJ Jensen chub
Who saw the massive barbel in the background
I was wondering what that was ...
He likes cheese more 🤣
Same
really enjoyed this, I remember ur post on that page on FB, so I knew u would be at somepoint trying this kind of video on circle hooks, its interesting to see, cos I have had great success on them when ledgering lives, but not when float fished lives... so u ledgering I knew would smash it. you get some great footage chris. keep them coming pal
Amazing underwater footage and top angling.
What river
John Mover8
That fish in the corner I can’t identify it, it is huge.
looks like a barbel to me, at 5:40 you can see the barbels of the barbel :)
Carp
@@nathanmai9901 definitely a barbel
wow! some nice filming. Thank you
I’m a fan of your documenting mate! Great footage!!
You need glasses or the person behind the camera, My eyes lol
did anyone see the catfish
it was a barbal
david zuniga no because there wasn’t one
GamingTommy 68 lol I saw a barbel too. But what was it doimg?head in the bank facing downstream. Seemed odd.
ZeusesCannons in Croatia Barbel are so easy to catch whenever you see a barbel just throw me sweetcorn and then throw a few pieces of corn on a hook and it always bites that simple!

Enjoyed watching the video. Thanks.
These fish naturally eat live fish....why don't you go tell the perch off....if you think its cruel
Wow!! Too many couch anglers in here crying about the poor little live bait ahahahahahaha

Pikes are some serious predators, that footage was brilliant!
Nice work, man. God bless your waters.
Learn so much from your videos
great fishing and video. love them big perch on such small river.
Wow....amazing footage of the pike. Wasn't expecting it to happen.
You put underfishing to shame with some of the underwater stuff my friend!! ❤
So lucky to have rivers like that mate. Good work
Fanter Fishing ya in sweden the rivers have perch like the bait he using
Excellent filming. Its given me ideas for catching big perch that live under my boat. 😃
Amazing footage!! What monsters those perch are good job!
Brilliant video matey keep 'em coming
that water is soooo clear!!! makes for wicked footage! cheers man
Какой окунь смелый, камеры не боится. Красота!!! Ну и C&R, браво!!!👏👏👏
Awesome vid first time seeing your channel. Subbed
Them underwater fish takes are brilliant nice one.
Superb underwater footage! 😮
Well done fantastic fishing and a great video too!
Awesome fish and video!
Top notch little film buddy,thoroughly enjoyed it! Keep up the good work👍
Great film, thanks.
Beautiful underwater footage, looks like a lot of fun, and a delicious fish when you decide to keep and eat a few.
We don’t in the UK.
At a guess I’d say it was a Yorkshire river. Great video and I loved the underwater footage. I used to use small Gudgeon for perch up to 3 1/2 lb. At that size they take on an almost prehistoric look. Very angular and muscular.
What a cool video! Very well done sir. Who doesn't love monster perch!👍
Great stuff man. They look like they are your pets... Nice spot. Excellent fotage. Thx a lot. I had a lot of fun watching it.
Beautiful photography.
Great video, cheeky prince of the river spotted also
Awesome footage, thank you a lot!
Your underwater camera skills are amazing
Nice video mate .... reminds me of the Ivel in Bedfordshire 40 years ago ... freelineing minnows .... great sport
LOOOVVEEEEE yellow perch, very beautiful fish. Also heard they’re very tasty lol
ginger first time i have come across your videos, great under water camera work . nice perch also. i love the colours from large perch .they are not slimy either. i noticed a barbel . good little river also . a lot of the good rivers near me. are mostly run by clubs . looking forward to your next video . well done .
Fantastic footage!
excellent underwater footage,thanks.
Outstanding presentation.
Love this video never tried live baiting for perch
Another great video dude.
So lucky to have such clear water. If you get chance I'd love to see an underwater lure video. Ned Rigs seem to be killing for Perch at the moment and as they are fished quite static it would be interesting to see fishes reactions.
Keep up the good work in any event.
