- Does your job help you in the pursuit of carp? Maybe your commute takes you along a snaggy section of canal or you spend your lunch break by the side of a park lake? Both of these scenarios could help you locate your quarry without even having a rod with you; but what if you were a crayfish trapper? Every day you spend sifting through endless pots of invasive species, at one with the water. Spending that amount of time surrounded by the pits of the Cotswolds is bound to help your angling, and this is just what we focus on in this piece.
Many years ago, Mitch Hammonds spotted a fish he dearly wanted to catch known as The Croc. Thankfully his occupation as a crayfish trapper helped him on his journey, culminating in the capture of this truly incredible creature.

I sat here absolutely rapt by his story. What a fantastic video.
Now this guys passionate,so descriptive about his angling,wonderful
Stickys videos are above all at the moment
Bang-on . I trap crayfish here in B.C 🇨🇦, eat most of them 😋. Then use the leftovers, as carp bait. Thay do luv them. Cheaper than peeld prawns.👍👍
The passion, the effort, the challenge shine through this account. Effort equals reward has never been more apt.
To get it you have to be a true carp fisher too, a brother. Only then if you are lucky enough do you get to feel that elation.
Its our equivalent to winning the cup final, a grand prix, Wimbledon, the Ashes, the British Open.
Its something we can do, our own challenge, and when it comes good it feels like this, like nothing in earth!!
Great stuff!!
I finally got around to watching this video, absolutely fantastic, the sheer determination of the journey to catch the crock.
Big well done to you my friend, absolute stunning fish.
Brilliant watch that Mitch. Inspirational stuff mate.
Cheers andy

i dont carp fish anymore.
Dont have the time for it,
but i do feel that lakes that hold special carp should have a close season
this means no pre baiting etc
let the lake and the fish rest for a while
Peace
Dearly miss the close season
preciosas carpasss👍👍👍👋👋👋🐳🐳🐳🐳
always have a tea boii
❤
Great video but what do you use for hookbait concealment to overcome the crayfish??? soaked wooden balls ,heat shrink bait bands etc ?? as we all know tiger nuts etc don't work !!!!
Looks alroite for a bite alroite!
I’m interested in what hookbaits. You use to beat the crays nice video
Plastic or wooden balls bud
Does it live in lake 32. Mainlake
💯💪🎣
Dude, What's the song dude 30:00
Doing God’s work
huh
What type of shelter is he using?
Mk1 tempest boi
Could he have got a smaller boat?
What rigs and bait do you use to combat the crays ?
A shotgun...
armour mesh on your boillies works for me bro !
Chod rigs with heavy leads, try to avoid putty, the crayfish in my local park lake just love the stuff.
Wooden ball flavoured same as bait
Next week...the 6 pound Rudd from the Thames,s..........
Man can whack a lead 💪🏻 boom ting 💪🏻
The cray fish man hmm
Sounded a bit far fetched to me it was like listening to a script from a Spielberg film
Guy gas binoculars for eyes lol
