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...
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!
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.
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.
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
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 😊 ❤ 👍
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 🎣👍
I found with luring predatory species, my very best results come not from casting my lures into the water, but casting onto a bank, or any structure out of the water, and letting the lure fall into the water from there. Where there's overhanging tree branches, casting into the water under branches gives a similar success rate. When you think about it, you're trying to fool the fish into thinking a mouse has fallen into the water, so asking yourself "fallen from where though," and casting there is a good starting point to figure out where the fish may lie.
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.
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 !
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 😉
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
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
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 🎉
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.
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.
That's what I wanted to mention. Anything from rabies to hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. Never touch mice and never touch their poopies, use face mask when cleaning out dusty places where mice could be.
"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
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.
I have been hunting pike, in the UK, for 60 years. So, this experiment with mice and rats is very interesting. What next, a realistic looking duckling? That would prove out that theory. Peace and goodwill
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.
Chris, That was an innovative video. Using the 'real thing' as opposed to replicant lures was very different - can you tell me if the mice/baby rats were frozen at all as this would make them stay on the surface longer? Lovely Chub by the way.
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.👍
Nice videos mate, I'm from Cheshire originally but now live on the isle of man , this has inspired me to contact my friends back home in Nantwich and arrange a canal trip to fish the canals, I've just watched several videos and noticed you have the fiido titan, would you recommend it? I'm debating getting one to navigate around the island fishing 👌🎣🎣🇮🇲
What casting weight of rod do you use for general lure fishing ? Not necessarily rats!!! My lad wants a baitcaster and it's a branch of angling I'm not familiar with!

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!
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.

I had no idea!
Tip: get a proper Polarized filter so that we can see through the water. Just remember to align it properly before each shoot.
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

There must be easier baits to handle lol
Imagine rigging, let alone casting, a live wild field mouse 😂
Baby ducklings with rubber bands. Big Muskies.

Gross, please don't tell me you ate the rat?

Poor mouse must have terrified after watching u cast out his family for the Chubb and pike 🤣🤣🤣 great video as always 👍

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 👍

Cracking session Chris - always ahead with the though leadership 👊 Great method, great results 🎣 Thanks for sharing mate
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 😊 ❤ 👍
Use matt Hancock as bait
Khan would be great
😂
No.... No way.... Chris could never be so cruel to a fish to expose it to Matt Wankcock! 😂
Nah khans toxicity would kill all the fish in the river within 200yds. @@tyronealaka6537
Noooo you can’t use corrupt golden retrievers as bait
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🎣🎣
G'day Chris, nice little session awesome Chub and pike. All the best form down under 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
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 🎣👍
I'm shocked he hasn't tried using the baby as bait....

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 )
Man never in all my life had I ever thought of using them as bait! Can’t wait until next season now. Great video
Congratulations to you and your Mrs on your new arrival.
First time saw this channel… like it 😁
Best greetings from the Harz/Germany
I don't go fishing but loved watching this episode
11:42 that decked area over the other bank looks excellent lucky homeowner
Yes! The rat videos are back. It’s what got me interested way back when
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.
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 !
Great video! Fish On!👍🎣
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 😉
You're using trout anglers as bait?
Awesome comment mate made me giggle so much
I was about to screenshot this and send it to you 😂
seems about right
Fly flippers......it's fly flippers
Si lo hice .... Mi cabello resultó ser buen cebo

Looked alive the way it wiggled on the first shot. That opens up a whole world of hurt for someone! 😄
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
geeez... the fishing game pitch... what a crazy world we live in...
Great idea, soak the bait in WD40 over night the fish looooove it. Happy fishing mate 👍🏻
Nice! Success with the swimming rats. Fishing Clash is a good one 2
Congrats on the little one! 🎉
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 🎉
Pike and musky actually crossbreed in my state of Pennsylvania and they get huge
Love seeing you help the mouse to compensatie for his fallen brothers
What baitcaster rod and reel you using mate
Looks like Abu Garcia spike x
I can tell your a good man because you helped that little mouse absolutely brilliant 👍
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😊
definitely one of my favourite or even favourite youtuber for fishing
You did good young man🎣😃😊
Something different that works 👍well done Chris
Class as always👌👊

Never pick up wild mice mate. You can get bitten and get serious infections. Friend nearly lost his thumb recently. 4 weeks off with sepcis too
That's what I wanted to mention. Anything from rabies to hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. Never touch mice and never touch their poopies, use face mask when cleaning out dusty places where mice could be.
Cheers from Kentucky!
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 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
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 !
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.
Woooohoho Naturally Amazing 🤩👌💪💪
Greetings From Poland ✋👊
Chris . . . still killin’ it 👍
I wish we had chub in Northern Ireland, seems like a fun fish to catch.
Nice video!
Very funny to aim for the hole ^^
Next installment i caught a pike using A Old mouse from my computer 😂😂😂😂😮
More great content! Love this channel!
I have been hunting pike, in the UK, for 60 years. So, this experiment with mice and rats is very interesting. What next, a realistic looking duckling? That would prove out that theory. Peace and goodwill
Hope the fish in the shed pond are doing good
Back with a bang... Bonkers haha!
Found this really interesting I loved that chub you caught 👍 I had a rat lure but my gear got robbed
Try it for trout?
Cracking video mate
Nice Pike bro !!
Great video as always! Can I ask what drone you use??
what type of rod and line did you have for this type of fishing?
few fish lost there due to being an eager beaver on the striking . but still very enjoyable viewing :)
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 🤣
the best fisherman in the uk!!
Brilliant, you never stop amazing me with your ideas
I REMEMBER UR FIRST VIDEO ABOUT RATS FOR DEADIES LOVED IT
Keep up the good work Chris I love your vids❤
Here in NZ (hi Chris) we have occasional mice infestations and some of the famous trout rivers churn with fish feeding on mice.
I have played fishing clash for the last couple of years it's a good game
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.
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.
Very nice video to watch. 😊
Chris,
That was an innovative video.
Using the 'real thing' as opposed to replicant lures was very different - can you tell me if the mice/baby rats were frozen at all as this would make them stay on the surface longer?
Lovely Chub by the way.
I’m trying to do pike fishing for the first time this winter do u have any baitcaster rod and reel recommendations or any lures
I hope you kept the pike for dinner!😊❤
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.👍
Definitely going to try our snake's leftover tiny mice for this.
Good session. GoPro's are great like that lol
Nice. Which casting reel did you use in this video?
was thinking with all the missed hook sets maybe using trailer hook towards the tail as well would possibly help with more hook sets.
Can you post a barbel fishing video at the woodland stream would be a great video to watch
Nice videos mate, I'm from Cheshire originally but now live on the isle of man , this has inspired me to contact my friends back home in Nantwich and arrange a canal trip to fish the canals, I've just watched several videos and noticed you have the fiido titan, would you recommend it?

What casting weight of rod do you use for general lure fishing ? Not necessarily rats!!! My lad wants a baitcaster and it's a branch of angling I'm not familiar with!
Live traps, rubber bands and a hook. Caught some big large mouth bass here in the California Delta.
Thought I was already subbed I've watched loads of your videos but I'm subbed now
Bury a circle hook instead of your triple.. More fish, try it.I learnt a couple years ago, and I will only use jay hooks anymore
Would be nice to see some catch and cook vlogs, your recommended recipes ?
Ratatouille?
I would love to see if you could catch a large brown trout on a dead mouse!
I was so expecting you to switch to live bait after the pursuit on the barge…
Great content as usual top dangling
