A couple of years back, watching a rat swim into a marina while fishing, 10" away from the wall, massive splash.....no rat! Next evening I returned with my rat lure...BANG! Lovely 13lb Pike!
Yeah, ive been spinning on he swale for trout many many years ago and have caught alot of chub doing that, very suprising when a 5lb chub snags onto ya little mepps spinner...
@@jamesalexander5588 they come in so easily after about 20 seconds of fight.... There just wet lettuces after that... Nowt compared to barbel... But still good on a spinner...
Ginger fisherman is the future for anglers world wide his videos and content are by far the most entertaining and insperaratiinal you will find... Chris deserves a channel on Netflix or sky sports etc.. 100% my hero lol
When I was a kid in the 1970s I found an old fishing book that was probably from the 1950s and one of the pages told how to fish with a live mouse as bait. It was rigged just like your thumbnail, a rubber band around the mouse which would hold the hook. I never used a live mouse for bait but that page of the book stuck with me forever!
Great video. My missus would freak out if she found a bag of mice in the freezer! Lol. She's terrified of them. I see an article many years ago, think it was the 70's in angling times. It was Dick Walker & a mate, catching Pike on full-size brown rats!! Dead ones. They were fishing gravel pit, where Rats used to swim across to the island, for the birds eggs. They landed a few. Great channel love it. 👍
Cracking upload. Despite what bait you were using, it was a nice moment in helping the little chap out, he dont know how lucky he was!. Congrats on new arrival and looking forward to new uploads.
Your bloody mental mate. I'm not surprised that it worked though. I once caught a decent pike that choked up the very dead body of a fully grown rat. Yuk!
I don't understand why people find it strange that a predator will eat anything that fits in it's mouth. Pike especially, those mofo's will eat ducks / seagulls / small dogs / cats ect~ they just have to get big enough.
What a neat way to fish. Wish I was there with you. Knew a guy years ago who used to rig a live mouse on a wooden shingle and let the wind take it over his favorite deep spot. Once there,he’d gently pull it off the shingle with his fishing line and hold on. Caught many bass that way and at night,he’d catch some whopping catfish. Carry on and enjoy yourself. You certainly deserve it with your unique methods and fishing by yourself. Just like myself,I had no one to go with me either. Too many fair weather friends. When the time is right,you wait for nobody. Wish you would try it at night in clear water and get ready for a midnite tug of war. Have a good one fishing buddy, Rick from Florida.
First I will say CONGRATULATIONS on the new baby. I was impressed the way you managed to make those mice look as though they were swimming naturally. Chub swallowing a big mouse surprised me. Most enjoyable 🎣👍
Great video! Glad to see you able to fish and have fun. Seems like every time I go out to do anything in the U.K., the police show up and give me reason or quote me a law that says I can't do it.
A few years back I was fishing in a well known local river which is a tributary to the river Thames, I was fishing for Chub and having a good session. Whilst fishing a Rat was keeping me amused swimming backwards and forwards across the river with pieces of bread that people had been feeding the Ducks with earlier and had landed in the reeds so the rivers flow hadn’t washed it down stream. Anyway on its way across on the poor chaps final time a huge Pike came up from underneath him and took him whole , I honestly couldn’t believe it, the flipping thing WAS massive. I have never seen that behavior before or since I might add but it truly shocked me.
Chris, congratulations on your new arrival. Great video once again. Looking for pike fishing advice - what is you long Reach river bank landing net ? Thank you and keep up the good work 😊 ❤ 👍
Great video as always. We just spent most of July and August on your beautiful canal in our narrowboat. We moored very close to where you caught the big chub and my missus saw a grass snake come out of the undergrowth opposite where you were fishing and swim across the canal. I saw quite a few big chub around there
I was using The Suicide Duck,s and Rats ,When they first , appeared on The RIVER RIBBLE and a Doo Gooder Nosey Cow of A Woman ,Dog walker Thought I was using ,Real ALIVE DUCKLINGS,AND RATS , She was Most Upset and Verbally Abusive ,Untill i Showed Her !! 😂 Great Video , Mate !! Cant belive The Chub ,Let alone THE PERCH HITS YOU WERE GETTING!!! GO ON AVE IT !!!!!😮😂😮😂
Another awesome Video deffo get back to the Canal & River for round 2 maybe a multi species challenge Pike,Perch,Chub & Trout If you have any in the rivers near you
When i was a kid i used to fish that bit of river especially to the right of the train bridge nearest to town . Used to chuck casters down and fished on the surface for the chub . Never considered rats but have fished with bees on the canal !
"I swear down guys, I thought I was gonna end up with in the bag with the others, but somehow I managed to give the great gingey the slip" - that mouse when he was down at the rodent pub later that evening
Great session, the missed hook ups can be expected with only a front mounted treble, and perhaps like you said Chris, leaving a fish to turn might have resulted in a few more. Interesting, you deffo need to revisit this in the future.👍
Here in the US my dad a many a years ago showed me this with live rats and mice for catching big Largemouth Bass. He would catch them at work in a 5 gallon bucket and bring them home Friday afternoon for the weekend of fishing. We would use a small net to get one at a time out the bucket and use a welding glove to hold them as to not get bitten. Then slide a rubber band around them and hook under the rubber band. I use to love going to the river where there was lily pads and tossing them on top. Man the explosions you would get as the mouse or rat ran across the pads was awesome. Worked great along the bank but my favorite was the pads. It would always amaze me how a 2lb bass would attack and choke down a full grown rat. We caught some big bass that way and a few went double digits.
Maybe circle hooks wood be good ? When the fish strikes at the rat undo the bail arm and let the fish eat it and then set the hook and because of the circle hook you can let the fish eat it fir longer Only a theory Nice video 🎉
Just an idea 💡 As you used rats as bait / politicians/ how about using chicks , they also can be purchased from a reptile shop and would fit in with the natural foods 😉
Now I know what to do with the mice I catch during the colder months. Could be fun summer fishing next year! I¨ll probably rig the mice with two sets of hooks with a wire stinger tackle, one hook at the head and one further back on the body.
mad bro. i live in oz , and ive usrd what is there on site. like lizards for bass, minor birds for murry cod, and my favourite, sea gull for gt's . the others cant be spoken about on you tube. suffice to say mammals work. nice perch brah.
We play "rat in a hole"in Ontario, sort of. We anchor, cast our jig up on a log, sit quiet for 3 or 5 minutes, then gently pull your jig into the water and work it back.
New subscriber(and a like -comment…algorithm)from the Sandhills of NC (if you’re interested in golf,5 miles from #2)USA.want to learn more about what y’all fish for,where,how etc.take care.
I've been a keen angler for decades but didn't know Chub fed on rats & mice, obviously knew Pike would take them but really surprised to learn Chub feed on them as well.

Hey Chris - Do you already have a clan on Fishing Clash? Cast & Curious have a couple of spaces if you're interested...
Hi, what's the rod a reel you use in this video? I'm Looking to upgrade
Would love u to take me pike fishing as iv been out many times lately around my area's and blanked.. had good few tho over the years.....
A couple of years back, watching a rat swim into a marina while fishing, 10" away from the wall, massive splash.....no rat! Next evening I returned with my rat lure...BANG! Lovely 13lb Pike!
This didn't happen
@ryane7906 It did, believe me!
@@supernoodles91 you didn't have a rat lure... you've just simply seen a video and invented your own story.
@@supernoodles91 no
@ryane7906 why would he make a story up. Just jealous bro, it's simple. Get a grip.
Chub always surprise me at how much of a vicious predator they can be for something that looks like a Roach.
Chub have some serious teeth in their throats, but yh they are definitely a bit of a sleepy.
Yeah, ive been spinning on he swale for trout many many years ago and have caught alot of chub doing that, very suprising when a 5lb chub snags onto ya little mepps spinner...
I've caught a few chub on lures.

Tip: get a proper Polarized filter so that we can see through the water. Just remember to align it properly before each shoot.
How about you get a polarized filter yourself so we can see you better
Poor mouse must have terrified after watching u cast out his family for the Chubb and pike 🤣🤣🤣 great video as always 👍

There must be easier baits to handle lol
Imagine rigging, let alone casting, a live wild field mouse 😂

We used to use small dace for chub back in the 1970s we used to catch a lot between the 4 to 5 pound mark . Nice job great vid 👍
Theres no way ginger fisherman plays that game on the phone. I just aint buying it. #TopFan
No real fishermen does 😆
Its a New game from 2014
Fishing Planet or if you sell your soul and wallet Russian Fishing 4.
Definitely not. 😂 it's just a sponsor

I'm shocked he hasn't tried using the baby as bait....
Man never in all my life had I ever thought of using them as bait! Can’t wait until next season now. Great video

I've seen that happen on the grand union in Leicester
I've seen pike taking adult coots, quite amusing actually last time he's diving on my bait 😂
I've seen rats taken, ducklings taken, and even smaller pike. A 20lb pike is an eating machine with a mouth you can fit your arm in ( don't lol )
Can’t get my head around how quickly your channel has blown up.
Also the sheer amount of views in 24 hours.
143k is no joke, well done mr maroon🎣🎣
First time saw this channel… like it 😁
Best greetings from the Harz/Germany

Something different that works 👍well done Chris
Yes! The rat videos are back. It’s what got me interested way back when
Looked alive the way it wiggled on the first shot. That opens up a whole world of hurt for someone! 😄

Congrats on the little one! 🎉
11:42 that decked area over the other bank looks excellent lucky homeowner
I watched with the sound down, when you saved that mouse/rat I thought you were catching it for bait ! Thought “brutal” but fair play nice rescue 🤣
stoked to see you save that mouse
Found this really interesting I loved that chub you caught 👍 I had a rat lure but my gear got robbed
I have always liked surface lure fishing for pike, good video again thanks , cheers for now. Think ill have a go at making a mouse/ rat lure !
Love seeing you help the mouse to compensatie for his fallen brothers
Another awesome Video deffo get back to the Canal & River for round 2 maybe a multi species challenge Pike,Perch,Chub & Trout If you have any in the rivers near you
Back with a bang... Bonkers haha!
I can tell your a good man because you helped that little mouse absolutely brilliant 👍
G'day Chris, nice little session awesome Chub and pike. All the best form down under 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice! Success with the swimming rats. Fishing Clash is a good one 2
definitely one of my favourite or even favourite youtuber for fishing
Cheers from Kentucky!
Nice video!
Very funny to aim for the hole ^^
Keep up the good work Chris I love your vids❤
I don't go fishing but loved watching this episode
Very nice video to watch. 😊
Good session. GoPro's are great like that lol
That's a beautiful area. When i lived in harrogate, yorkshire there was a couple nice spots within 5-10 mins from my house. I miss home.
Woooohoho Naturally Amazing 🤩👌💪💪
Greetings From Poland ✋👊
Brilliant, you never stop amazing me with your ideas

Brilliant mate horrified me a wee bit
geeez... the fishing game pitch... what a crazy world we live in...
Hi mate watched many of your videos I wish I had a clear canal we had 40 boats go past on the north Oxford but had a 5.5lb zander😊
"I swear down guys, I thought I was gonna end up with in the bag with the others, but somehow I managed to give the great gingey the slip" - that mouse when he was down at the rodent pub later that evening
Class as always👌👊

Nice Pike bro !!
the best fisherman in the uk!!
Great content as usual top dangling
I hope you kept the pike for dinner!😊❤
I wish we had chub in Northern Ireland, seems like a fun fish to catch.
I REMEMBER UR FIRST VIDEO ABOUT RATS FOR DEADIES LOVED IT
Here in the US my dad a many a years ago showed me this with live rats and mice for catching big Largemouth Bass.

We caught some big bass that way and a few went double digits.
Cracking video mate
New level unlocked 😂
Definitely going to try our snake's leftover tiny mice for this.
Here in NZ (hi Chris) we have occasional mice infestations and some of the famous trout rivers churn with fish feeding on mice.
Me and my fishing buddy think you could catch a shark with an ice cream you’re that good 😎🤣
That’s a different kind of bait 😆, but something they haven’t seen before on a hook at least!
Maybe circle hooks wood be good ?
When the fish strikes at the rat undo the bail arm and let the fish eat it and then set the hook and because of the circle hook you can let the fish eat it fir longer
Only a theory
Nice video 🎉
Connect another hook with wire and hook the rear of the mouse too, never miss, you can also use elastic to secure it all for the best presentation.
I have played fishing clash for the last couple of years it's a good game
Great idea, soak the bait in WD40 over night the fish looooove it. Happy fishing mate 👍🏻
Thought I was already subbed I've watched loads of your videos but I'm subbed now
Just an idea 💡
As you used rats as bait
/ politicians/ how about using chicks , they also can be purchased from a reptile shop and would fit in with the natural foods 😉

Would love to see you use large tadpoles or live frog bait on the next video. Also frozen seafood baits from Asian grocers could be interesting.
good mouse save :D
few fish lost there due to being an eager beaver on the striking . but still very enjoyable viewing :)
was thinking with all the missed hook sets maybe using trailer hook towards the tail as well would possibly help with more hook sets.
I appreciate you using American Standard measurements for the weights 😂
Hope the fish in the shed pond are doing good
I've been a keen angler for decades but didn't know Chub fed on rats & mice, obviously knew Pike would take them but really surprised to learn Chub feed on them as well.
Awesome spots looks sick where ur at
Pike and musky actually crossbreed in my state of Pennsylvania and they get huge
Next installment i caught a pike using A Old mouse from my computer 😂😂😂😂😮
Would be nice to see some catch and cook vlogs, your recommended recipes ?
Nice fish on your 🐀 chis good video 📹
The way you just pulled out that hook out of the pikes mouth and how close your thumb was the whole time lol balls of steel dude
