The Fish of a LIFETIME... (I couldn't believe my eyes!) 👀

- Lure fishing for pike, perch and zander and we catch an INCREDIBLE fish. I never expected to see this on our 3 day fishing trip to the Netherlands. Success on all fronts including pike fishing, perch fishing and zander fishing in some of the coolest locations i've ever fished. In chronological order, we fish the canals of Vinkeveen, Utrecht city centre, Amsterdam city centre and a sizeable dutch park lake. Cruising the streets at night on an e-bike and getting stuck in to the local culture, we really did do it all! The fishing overall was very slow considering how long we fished, but seeing that fish at the end made it all worthwhile. I'm not sure i'll ever see a fish like that again! I know it may not be the fish of a lifetime to some of you guys, especially the specimen anglers, but i've been fishing for years and it comfortably doubles any i've ever had in size!

HUGE thank you to @NetfishnChill for showing us around the city and completely putting us to shame on the fishing front.

Loved it bro , Awesome video and was great to meet you guys and fish look forward to the next session in warmer weather when they wanna bite some more 😀 and I seen 2 of those Canadian geese up there today so I think they come and go as they please 🤣
Thanks again for showing us round mate was a pleasure to see you catch that perch and Zander. Can’t wait for the next trip 👍
As a Dutch, I must admit that Amsterdam and every water surrounding it is a fishing paradise! I really hope you had a lot of fun and enjoyed your stay in the netherlands! 😄🤟
It definitely felt like it, I can’t wait to go back. Thoroughly enjoyable!
I'm 72 yr old lady from America and love your videos.
Thank you I really appreciate you watching!
I have just discovered your channel and as I have moved to Kendal, after 58 years in the Sarf east, it is great to see some local fishing, young man. I have a Dutch wife and lived in between Rotterdam and Europort for a, too, short time . The fishing in t'Netherlands is great every where ; I was five minutes walk away from 20lb + Snoek. Fishing, and cycling, heaven. Tight lines, fellah.
Yeah the netherlands seems like an incredible place for fishing, so much water to explore. Thanks for watching!
Love it when a plan comes together.♥️
Well done on your zander 👏👏and what a cracking Perch.😲🎣
An amazing video,🫣 fishing off the street.🎣🎣
Thanks for sharing.👍👍
Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
Thanks Ian, tough fishing all in all but a great trip!
Netherlands👌🏼waited long for this video💪🏼🔥
I hope it was worth the wait mate!
Great show! Thanks for this Holland tour!
Thanks for watching!
Caught my PB zander on the ebro in Spain, a 1.06m lean beast that weighed 8.5kg’s
A tip: bump your jighead as slowly as possible over the bottom.. or use dropshot and leave it hanging and retreive as slowly as possible.
Walk of the deeper walls of the docks in the city, they lay just next to it.
Find the deeper currents in the day, shallower banks in warmer nights.
Good luck!
Thanks for the advice! That Zander sounds like an absolute beast!
Great video! Enjoyed the fishing and scenery of the Netherlands.
Thanks for watching mate!
Enjoyed that . Used to seeing you fish the area local to me ( trough of Bowlands etc) but this made a nice change. Hard fishing so well done with your perseverance . Cal
Glad you enjoyed the video Cal, thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed watching your feature-length adventure! I had no idea perch could get to that size...some great footage and that coffee shop looked very warm and welcoming 😁
Glad you enjoyed it! I’ve never seen one that big before but believe it or not they get quite a bit bigger!
great video guys, Awesome trip!!
Thanks mate!
Great video!!!
that was the biggest zander i have ever seen & 1 hell of a perch.
Now that is adventure fishing for you.
😎🐟🎣
Thank you! Yeah it was the biggest I’ve seen too. Thanks for watching!
You caught the Zander that Tom (Snagged Bro) lost on the very same bridge. Next time You go, You have to fish In the Ponders. These are the Brooks that run all though the Housing Estates. There are some really big fish In them, even though It looks like there nothing In Them. Lovely Perch to finish off with.
What makes you think it's the same Zander? On their video the bridge he had the bite on looks a lot smaller than the one we had the bigger Zander under! Would be incredible if they were the same fish though definitely. Would love to fish the ponders but would have no idea where to start!
My dad lived in Utrecht for several years. Used to love going to visit him. This brought back fond memories. Great vid bud !!❤
Thanks for watching! I'd love to get back over there fishing, I really miss it
That looks like you all had great fun with great fishing buddies
Absolutely!
That’s somewhere I really want to go , everywhere looks good
You should mate, one look at Amsterdam on a map and it’s clear what a huge amount of water there is
Really nice perch!🎣👍🏻
Thanks mate, absolute corker of a fish isn't it!
Now then George. Great to see you and the other part of the mighty jewel back in action. That looks absolutely amazing place. Some lovely fish and some lovely scenery. You look like you were both in your element. Cracking video my friend. All the best 👍🎣😁
It's an amazing place john! A haven for a perch enthusiast like yourself. I'll definitely be back soon I think!
@@adventurefishinguk I will add it to my “ must do’s “ George ….
My list is like a shopping list 🤣🤣🤣
Been another cold one and got some time off over Xmas so I hope I manage to get a few hours in at some point ….. have you got a Christmas video coming out ?? 🎣🎣😉😉
@@johnloxley8705 hoping for the next video on Sunday but it depends if I can find some fish, everywhere is frozen!
Great video George! what an adventure! really enjoyed this longer form content. Amazing fishing with great scenery and culture that "craw muncher" was a tank! ☺ would love to do this one day!
Thanks mate, thought it was time for something a bit longer! If you ever get the chance to fish in Amsterdam definitely take it
After watching this I have to go back to the Netherlands - I started fishing this year and thanks to your videos have learnt a lot! Would love to go and catch some giant perch and Zander out there - I loved being in the Netherlands when I was last there, fantastic food and lovely people.
The Netherlands is such an amazing country mate you should definitely go fishing next time you're there!
@Adventure Fishing UK what did you have best luck with - dropshot, spinners, jigs etc?
@@tomharris7715 depends a lot on the time of year. I didn’t get too many bites but you can’t go wrong with jigs and drop shots
@@adventurefishinguk appreciate it mate! if you ever fancy some urban fishing in Bristol pop me a message!
And the herb ain.t bad either
Superb mate well done what a video 👍🏴
Thanks for watching mate glad you enjoyed it!
Peace be upon you, good luck with your fishing. Good luck in your work
Peace upon you too mate and thanks for watching
Everyones going Dutch !!
I know right! Amsterdam has to be the street fishing capital of Europe
@@adventurefishinguk I agree :) it's AMAZING! Snagged bro also came to the netherlands for a fishing session!
Edit: Maybe the reason you didn't catch a lot is that you fished your lure way faster than Netfish, we recently had cold nights, so the fish really prefer the slower lure fishing.
The rig 180 rod. Looks good certainly given it a good workout. 👏👍
The fish rig 180 has been everywhere with me! On all my recent holidays, caught me salmon, perch, pike and much more. Great bit of kit!
Agree. Looks a good rod. Especially for me as I gave up my car,(oldie) . Thanks for vids. Use to spend a lot of time in the Lakes. 👍👏🤝
Amazing glad to see you getting out good luck and tight lines for the future 😀
Thanks for watching!
Brillant video as always some intresting fishing .That Perch at the end was a slab .wieght or length immaterial .fish offa lifetime .Big love from Belfast
Thanks mate! Absolute cracker of a fish wasn't it. Think it'll be a while before I see one like that again!
Excellent upload,well done guy's 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks mate, took a good while to edit this one!
What an urban fishing experience - something to be said for how those waterways are being looked after with all those fish you guys got on and hey there are also other things to keep you occupied there if the fishing blanks.
Absolutely mate the city is full of fish, a paradise for lure anglers. And of course the Dutch culture!
Yes i w.ld combine them both
Loving this style of vid bud deffo need more of this keep it up 👍🎣
Thanks for watching mate!
Great video and you fished some spots i visit almost weekly depending on time of year and weather. Congrats on the zander!
You’re lucky to be able to fish there regularly mate! Bet you’ve had some crackers out of there. Thanks for watching!
Oh you where with netfish and chill amazing dude
Great bloke isn’t he! 👍
Im dutch. I catch perch this size a lot. My pb is 52cm. Dutch record is 54cm.
I’d love to catch a perch like that myself one day! Thanks for watching 👍
great video! Felt like I took a little holiday myself enjoying this on a sunday afternoon.
Thanks for watching mate!
@@adventurefishinguk flying high this week my man, set a new pb 19.8 rainbow. On a commercial but still....gnna need a few days to come down from that, as you may need after a trip to the dam;)
@@DedicatedAngler haha true! That sounds like a cracker of a fish well done
@@adventurefishinguk you ever thought of creating a discord where your community can share their catches and junk. Might be fun
@@DedicatedAngler I’ve not actually but it’s a good idea, I’ve not been on discord much but it could be fun
Yes netfish & chill 😎
A great effort from him!
One of your best videos to date!
I think so too!
I agree 👏🏻👏🏻 I'm even watching this one again! And loving the type writer sound effects this time round 😂
Nice1 George I’m delighted for you pal Zander is deffo on my bucket list but 1st I want to try for big pike n perch I’ve only ever caught jacks and hand sized perch I just need to get a bigger rod & reel my 5ft 6 UL & size 1000 reel wouldn’t stand up to the size of predators I would be after oh aye what length was that predator rod you were using at the end with the 3000 reel take care pal & tight lines ✌🏼💙👍🏼🏴
Thanks for watching mate and yeah I was over the moon with the zander even though it was small. Not sure on the length of the predator rod because it has two tips for different lengths and cast weights!
That was a monster perch. We have lots here, but none even close to that size. Well done men!
Thanks mate, proper beast wasn't it!
great fish love your vids
Thanks mate, glad you're enjoying them!
Is that the same rod as in all videos. Love all the vids. Great viewing and teaching.👏👍
Thanks for watching! Yes i use that rod in a lot of my videos 👍
whats the net that netfish n chill is using looks right handy
Not too sure mate you’d have to ask him. It was massive
@@adventurefishinguk I was wondering the same thing. I think it might be a Spro Freestyle at 4 metres. Only problem with them is that they only lock when fully extended. George, it would be great if you could do a piece on portable, foldable landing nets for travelling.
Only 10 minutes into your video now and already enjoying it so much cause it's great to see everything I am familiar with from your point of view. I've lived in the city of Utrecht for over 14 years, before I moved to a small village. And I have a job as a teacher in Amsterdam for almost 12 years now. The city of Utrecht only has a population of 360k though and in the province of Utrecht 1.3 million, which is in size about as big as London I think. I'm kinda jealous seeing you guys fish since I didn't have much time for fishing lately, but I did buy a foldable kayak for fishing and can't wait to try it out. Now back to your video for the best part I guess. 😁
Yeah my Utrecht population fact was only based on a quick Google search so that makes sense! You’re lucky to live in the Netherlands it’s such an amazing country. Shame you’re not able to get out fishing as much as you’d like but I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
@@adventurefishinguk Really enjoyed it, nice catch in the end! Hope you had a nice time fishing and cycling!👍
@@Sh0g thanks mate, had a fantastic time!
Looks amazing there, well done lads :)
It's an amazing place to fish! Thanks for watching 👍
Don't forget your Hampster Jam Sandwiches.
😂
What a epic trip💪 and nice long vid aswell
Thanks mate, thought it was about time to make a longer one!
@@adventurefishinguk
Keep going with that 👍
Great vid. Glad to see at least one of you was batting up, when in rome.
Haha glad you enjoyed the video mate! When in rome indeed 👍
I used to fish the canals around Noorvjk (pardon my spelling if it's wrong) for big bream on a pole. It was epic and 8lb+ all day long. Sweetcorn or shrimp. Smoking a fat one watching the occasional boat go by.
Haha that’s the life mate for sure!
Amazing trip! Even the bike rides were proper chill! How big was that Perch in the end?
Thanks mate! He didn’t weigh it but it came in at 48cm. Not sure what that converts to weight but it felt like a big lump in the net!
@@adventurefishinguk Good fish..probably around 3 ish then maybe :)
@@wolfypics7339 I’d say so mate yeah!
It would have been around 4lb we weight one similar size few days ago and was 1.95kg already. Wait till Feb/march 😄
Outstanding
Thanks mate!
They look like a pretty aggressive fish. Similar to a walleye here in the states which are fun to catch. Great vid and was beginning to think those urban fish are pretty street wise - lol
I believe they're related to walleye yes! And unfortunately the urban fish were a little too streetwise for me haha. Either that or they were too cold!
Ahah I knew you'd hit Manchester canal's at some point try the river irwell at some point or Manchester canal by united football ground the Kellogg's stretch.
This was in the Netherlands mate not Manchester but I’m definitely keen to fish Salford quay at some point! Just knowing where to start is the tricky bit
@@adventurefishinguk looks so much like down the keys must have had too many tomatoes with my salad today.
Awesome fishinng guys! , I went to the dam earlier this year and though there must be some beasts down there. Must buy a travel rod for Xmas 😄
There must be mate! You definitely need a rod next time you go
Hahah love your enthusiasm however you spell it👌🤣
Thanks mate! I’m very prone to getting over excited 😂
@@adventurefishinguk them big marinas looked really good for a dead bait inbetween them big boats
@@catalickconverta6823they sure are
You do some magic vids mate, another cracker well done 👏
Thanks for watching them mate it means a lot!
Utrecth hahaahah, i was laughin then mate. Love how the UK lads have suchhh soft rods.. (you fishing for perch m zander in vinkeveen for ex)
Did I pronounce it wrong? 😂 yeah the rod I was using it definitely on the slow side action wise, maybe too much for the zander
Cracking perch just wish you could have told us its length so could estimate its weight great video mate.
Sorry I must’ve clipped that bit out, it came in at 48cm 👍 thanks for watching!
Awesome vid...Dude I'm looking at going in April and lure fishing would just make it 👌 isit a case of you can buy like permits or license from somewhere in the center?
Thanks mate! You should definitely fish if you’re there. You need something called a VISpas, I bought a year license because it was easier and I’m going to go again. Not sure on the shorter term ones though! That lets you fish loads of waters in the Netherlands
this is also useful to know : from March to the end of May you are not allowed to fish for pike in the Netherlands. In those months they are busy making baby pikes.
I would love to go fishing in Amsterdam and the surrounding areas some day. I'm searching for my first 2lb perch also hopefully we both find one soon.
It's a great place to fish mate i'd highly recommend it! Fingers crossed we get our 2 pounders soon 👍
Hi looks a great place ! . Some great fish . Can I ask what make and model was that landing net with the long telescopic handle . Many thanks
Thanks mate, was a great trip! Not sure on the net sorry you’d have to ask Jamie 👍
Nice one! Zander is also a surname in the Netherlands🤣
Thanks mate! A first name that’s increasing in popularity in the UK too
@@adventurefishinguk Nice to see you getting out there, I sold most of my sea & coarse fishing gear, but kept back a small spinning rod and an Abu 507 reel. If my health improves next year, I'll have a bash again (& also fly fish again), good luck.
Great angling mate🎣will we see any Lake District predator fishing this winter?
Thanks mate! I really hope so but those trips often result in blanks, I’ll see what I can do
Eighteen minutes odd netfish and chill i see a funny cigarette 🚬 🤣
Haha 🤫
I noticed that in the reflection of his phone initially 😂 could have been a standard rollie of course...
@@alison8526 my bro lol 😆
@@adventurefishinguk brilliant video mate love watching your channel in the evening when kids asleep n I can finally chill hahaha
@@whysoserious5854 thanks mate I appreciate that!
Have you btw even heard of noise hooking? Your dropshot seems off.. just personal pref might be but nose hooking gives optimal hooking potential. Look it up
Not done any dropshotting until this trip really mate! I was following my mates advice, both nose and eye hooking them. Not sure how it affects the action
Miss Amsterdam for many reasons haha
It’s a great place isn’t it!
Hubby wants to know who Dan is? Is he like The Stig of the fishing world?
A friend of Harry's!
Just go south to Lisbon.
Portugal is definitely on the hit list!
I have to ask. Did you weigh that last Perch?
Just measured mate, came in at 48cm or around 4lb roughly!
Hey do you mind doing some course fishing on a river for roach or chub or somet
I’ll see what I can do. My latest video is close!
@@adventurefishinguk I noticed hood grayling fishing
So you went all the way to the Netherlands to catch a Zander, when the Midlands is Zander capital?? 😁😁
I've tried and failed a couple of times in the midlands unfortunately!
@@adventurefishinguk hi Well, it's a lot easier than you think. Keep up the awesome videos you have a great channel there!!! 👍👍👍👍
What is the situation regarding permissions/licences for fishing there?
You need something called a VISpas mate which covers you on a huge amount of waterways in the Netherlands
What licences do you need for fishing in Amsterdam?
You need something called a VISpas mate 👍
Awesome mate, if that aint worth a sub i dont know what is ❤️
Thank you, really appreciate you subscribing and sticking around!
What is the make of that telescopic net?
Not quite sure mark you’d have to ask him!
You guys look battered 🤣🤣🤣
😂
Hi
Hi
Just come across your channel enjoying the content 👍
Thanks mate I appreciate that!
old subscribers will now why amsterdam was chosen ;)
Haha street fishing capital of the world mate!
first snagged bro and now adventurefishing?? Did the Dutch Government pay you guys to go there and promote fishing? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha I really wish they would 😂
Some idiot introduced zander into British waters and they destroyed the indigenous fish population.
Yeah we don't have them in the waterways of the North West though so they're great fun to catch for me! Thanks for watching!
Please make sure to never add a second 'now then' to your intro !
Haha I’ll try my best
Firstt
👍
Dank u wel . atb
Thanks for watching!
Should of tried a smoke and a pancake.
Haha well we enjoyed our evenings once the rods were away
Great video! I tried the link for netfishchill TH-cam channel a couple of times and it didnt work?
Thanks mate! Maybe try searching it, thanks for letting me know though I’ll see if I can fix the problem!
