Well done getting out in that weather.......and catching......Bonus! Congratulations to all the winners. Good of you both to bring up the importance of mental health. Hope you all have a great Christmas.
Hi Bill, think we were both so glad to get out, we didn't mind the weather!! 😆 Wishing you a very happy and peaceful Christmas and all the best for 2025 👍
Great video. It's really good to see Catherine on the bank again and feeling better! Cracking fish! Fair play on touching on the mental health issue. As you say, it hits all of us at some time or other. Fishing really is a great way to decompress and forget about life! I won a prize too. 😊 thanks for that. I really appreciate it! Keep the videos coming! Tight lines guys!
Thanks mate its really nice to get catherine out again even in that weather she,s made of tough stuff that lass 🤘😎 it is important we all reach out if we,re struggling no one should be alone in this day n age 👌😊 fishing is a great outlet as you say and when you get a fish like that 👌😎 get in ❤️😊
@@antlakin6695 thankyou ant it was from the heart honestly mate ive been there so i know how it feels 🙏😊 if i can help anybody no matter what i will 👍 catherine said hiya 🤝😊

Thanks alex she was a stunner in mint condition 👌 she,ll be a chunk come end of feb 🙂 its funny i actually enjoy that kind of weather real fishy atmosphere i have to say the message behind this video is probably the most important one weve done so far hopefully it helps someone 🙏😊
@@bencarvosso3691 thankyou so much ben and thankyou for your continued support it means a great deal to us 🙏😊 its great to have catherine back on the bank she,s not 100% but a lot better 🙂 we said it might be the last video til 2025 but we might just be able to squeeze another one in before the new year so watch out for that 😁 thanks again ben 🤝🙂
I agree about the weather. Newmiller dam near me fishes well with a chop on it as do the lagoons and the canal oddly though my favorite pike water tends to fish better flat calm with hardly any wind funny buggers pike 😊
Another really nice video from you both and also for talking openly about mental health as it is so important. That was a lovely pike, and in beautiful condition.🐊 It’s nice that Catherine is back on the bank with you as well👍 All the best for Christmas and the new year too 🎉🎣
Thankyou so much stu 🤝😊 she was a stunning pike fit n healthy in great condition 👌 we thought it was only right to be honest and open about the things that have really affected us both and how we came through them its important to let people know that sometimes we all need a little helping hand to get back up on our feet and that its ok not to be ok no one should be alone struggling in this day n age lifes hard sometimes but if we all help eachother it can be a whole lot easier thankyou for commenting stu 🤝😊 and have a great christmas 🙏🙂
I like what you said about mental health i lost my brother in 2012 to suicide and typical bloke never really talked about it much. Wer bad for that blokes we try hide our emotional things. Love your channel mate and thanks again for the lure and the first aide liquid. Plus the trace id never used single strand before but I rate it mate cheers .
Sounds like you've had a rough time in the past mate and suicide is always so hard to deal with. I hope you managed to get some support with it and you've never had to be alone with it. Really glad you love the channel and thanks for your ongoing support for it. Wishing you a happy and peaceful Christmas and all the best for 2025 👍
Cheers simon she was a belter fit n healthy 👌🙂 she,ll be a right lump come end of feb Fishing can really help it helped me when i lost my dad but i did need a hand up i really did struggle but as a typical bloke i tried to hide it and it just made it worse i went through hell to be honest but i didnt need to i think next yr what im planning to do is a road trip around the uk wales,scotland and ireland to try meet up with everyone just to say hi n wet a line 🙏😊 thankyou so much simon 🤝🙂
Thank you for another video weathering the storm and catching a lovely fish. I look forward to watching your videos very much. I went today (Monday 16.12.24} and had a 10lb 10oz pike , that broke a run of five blanks and makes it all worth it. Fishing is so important for clearing the mind and enjoying wildlife around you. I am lucky to see lot's of kingfishers and herons and even the otters as long as they stay away from my deadbaits. Hope you both have a lovely Christmas and tight lines for 2025. Take care!
Hi James, congrats on the catch! It's been hard this season so far hasn't it? I think once the weather finally settles, we'll all hopefully see some more action! But you're right, catching or not, fishing gives us the chance to clear our minds and have something different to focus on. We both love watching the wildlife, we have plenty of kingfishers and red kite our way and we have mixed feelings about otters 🤣 Hope you have a great Christmas 🎄 and tight lines for 2025 👍
Thankyou bob 🤝😊 we thought at this time of year it can effect people who are struggling even more everybody,s having a good time and they feel alone if you think someone maybe struggling reach out give em a call check on em thanks again bob 🙏😊
Great to see you both out🙂 Chunky Pike😮 You're a great couple! Cracked the code, fish'n t'gether😊 I don't know any fishing couples. I do know of fishing to cause breakups ☹️ Christmas and I parted a few years ago, I just don't enjoy it anymore.
Fishing can be and is a great outlet time to reflect time to think good headspace times a great healer i certainly needed a hand smiling again after i lost my dad we all have the strength in us to go again its important to know that help is out there for eveeyone ❤️🤝😊
Another thought provoking, kind, heartfelt video and a nice pike. Thanks for taking us along and thank you to all your sponsors and to you for the magnificent prizes in the giveaway. Here’s hoping you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year. Love you both and love the channel. 👍👍
Thankyou so much bobby thats very kind of you 🤝🙂 we have some great sponsors and its great to be able to give something back too 🎁 if we dont see you before have a great christmas and new year mate 🤝🙂
Hi Charlie! Well done buddy, I hope you're going to have lots of fishing gear on your list for Christmas! Have a great Christmas and tight lines to you for 2025 👍
Lovely to see you out again Catherine and hopefully you are through your storm. Great fish Sean I too braved the storm weather and blanked but like you guys it was at times comical to watch the wildlife trying their best to fly or swim in a straight line. Great you mentioned the issues people go through and a little story was that as fisherfolk we can sometimes be very insular and get behind our brollies and that's it- however at my local club water there was a chap who always used to come and sit and not say a word to anyone which I respect-one day he hooked a sizeable fish and actually called to me to help him net it, after admiring the fish and getting it back safely he asked if I would share coffee with him - to my surprise he opened his heart at what had been going on in his life and actually apologised for being anti social- well the long and short of it is over the years we have become great friends and share many moments together- I still find it heartwarming that he reached out. On a tackle note Sean, I need to replace my baitrunner reels - I use 10ft rods is a 10000 size too big and unbalanced do you think - I am trying to utilise for some carp fishing in the warmer months when pike season closed. As always keep safe and thanks for your videos- Have a great Christmas what ever you do and have a healthy 2025.
Firstly what a great story that,s exactly what we we,re hoping someone would say or that they themselves we,re reaching out for help it was just that trigger of the big fish that made him possibly forget his worries or issues he was silently dealing with secondly i,d say the 10,000 size reel will be perfect for targetting carp in the warmer months again what a really heartwarming story thats fantastic thankyou so much for sharing it with us 🙏😊
Me and my husband are glad to see you both we missed you a Lott you are so Wright about how hard live can be and this time of year is so sad for load of good people it's nought long since we put my husband dad to rest nearly five weeks when he die we hope he up there catching a big girl you two love the pike you two take care and be safe take care
Hi Charlene, thank you for your lovely comment, it's been good to be back out fishing again! I hope you are both managing ok - a bereavement is hard at any time of the year although I know you will be supporting each other. We hope you have a peaceful Christmas. Take care 🌟
Thankyou mate she was a stunner on a very stormy day 🙏😊 loved it and hopefully if our message help,s just one person then thats great if it helps more than that then its fantastic no one should ever struggle and feel alone not in this day n age 😊
Thanks mate we had a great day with a nice pike for the days efforts with catherine on the bank for the first time in a while made even more special 😊 thanks again mate have a great christmas and we,ll see you in 2025 🤝🙂
Thanks alan to be honest once your tucked in behind the shelter its quite comfortable thankyou for commenting the support we get here really does mean a lot 🙏😊
Another great video hosted by the 2 of you.lovely to see Catherine back on the bank. What a wonderful, stunning pike. Merry Christmas and a happy new year 🎉 May all your wishes come true.
Thats very kind of you john thankyou 🤝😊 it has been a tough start to the pike season for a lot of people we,ve spoken to with differences in weather but im sure it,ll pick up as we head towards the end of this year 🙏😊
What a great episode and your right Sean great to see Catherine on the bank , mental health is very important too me as I lost my brother who was also my best friend too suicide 16 years ago and you're right fishing was probably the thing that got me through that time and of course the love of my wife and best ever fishing partner . Anyone who watches the channel and has went through something similar and needs help I'm always available.
Tough times derek and its easy for someone to just say crack on!! But its not that easy my counsellor help me tremendously one minute crying the next laughing getting all the emotions out i felt guilty when i smiled as if i werent alloud to be happy but over time i learnt that it was ok.It had its ups n down,s but it really helped me opening up fishing really helps too it great head space being away in nature guess its natures therapy in a way thanks again derek 🤝😊
@luredbyesox I eventually started to go downhill myself at home and at work , I just get what my brother had done I was with him 2 days before he died and what we didn't know was the pain he was feeling. At work I went from hero to zero and had bit of a breakdown at work so I took time off and went and seemed professional help . Fishing has always been in my life whenever I got asked what I do I always said I was an angler first , there are angling clubs out there that do fish ins to help with struggling people in all aspects maybe guys should find out if there's one in their area and if there's not anglers get together and organise one .
@@ryanhewitt99 thanks ryan she was a stunning chunky healthy fish ive never been one to weigh em but i get where your coming from 👍 im just really happy to catch em 🙂 im normally pretty good at estimating em she was around a mid double 😊 thanks again for watching mate 🤝🙂
@ryanhewitt99 thanks ryan thats very kind of you 🤝😊 we,ve always wanted to try and help other people if we possibly can and the channel is a big part of that 👍🙂 have a great christmas and new year and we,ll be out doing our best to bring more content for people to hopefully enjoy 👍😁
Great to see ye both back fishing your videos and chats are great and great you are honest about your life thanks for that being open helps a lot sory about your da i lost mine last year he got me in to fishing for trout ,your right about reaching out there is all ways hope and thanks for your testimonys for myself it was the same i was on drugs for a very long time on heroin all sorts of stuff but reached out and ended up going to teen challenge in the Scottish borders near Dunn's Winchester house great place but now as I'm back in Ireland life is good found hope in Christ and fishing going to church its a new way of life and can happen for anyone ,i all ways look forward to your videos and thanks so much for everything ye do God bless ye 🙏🎣
Hi Brian, it sounds like you've been through some tough times in your life but we're really glad to hear that things are looking a lot brighter for you now. Fishing is definitely a good medicine. Wishing you a very happy Christmas and all the best for 2025 🎄👍
I love my fishing especially pike over the last few years, you guys are fantastic, I really really enjoy your videos, but u never find the answer in a pint pot, being on the bank as an angler your free, your just waiting for that one fish ❤ and that's what keeps you going, have an amazing Christmas guys ❤
@@grahamkirkbride5720 thats very king graham thankyou 🙏😊 pike fishing has a kind of atmosphere to it the apex predator lurking beneath the surface stalking its prey i love em ❤️ your right you have to get out there! You have a great christmas graham and tight lines for 2025 Ps we might just be able to squeeze another video in before christmas 🎄🎅 so watch out for that 😉🙏😊
If anyone is reading this and lives in the Lancashire area and is struggling around this time of year and wants someone to fish with or needs a little bit of help, I'm happy to fish or just talk because iv suffered with all the issues that Sean and Catherine have mentioned in this vid, happy crimbo everyone.
Hi James, Thanks for that offer, it's really kind and generous of you. It's folk like you that help make the world a better place 😀 Wishing you a very happy and peaceful Christmas and all the best for 2025 👍
Hi sean great to see you and cath back on the bank, just gained membership to a great little lake owned by the national trust. Do you think fishing with unnatural deadbait to natural makes a difference. Theres been a few monsters pulled out and it's not pressured for pike really will me fishing with like lamprey put em off.
@James.grahamEFC your absolutely right mate we should all have eachothers back nowadays its more important than anything 🤝😊 i guess its harder for man in some ways because we,re meant to be tough but sometimes we need a hand up!! ❤️🤝🙂
I would,nt think that an un natural bait will put em off sometimes sea deadbaits can be better with the release of natural oils sounds like youve dropped on a gem there mate best of luck mate 🤞😎
Happy Christmas Sean & Catherine ☘️☘️☘️

Hi Charlene, thank you for your lovely comment, it's been good to be back out fishing again! I hope you are both managing ok - a bereavement is hard at any time of the year although I know you will be supporting each other. We hope you have a peaceful Christmas. Take care 🌟

Great video guys Have to admit you're more dedicated than me out in that weather
Happy Christmas and a great New Year to you both
Thanks alan to be honest once your tucked in behind the shelter its quite comfortable thankyou for commenting the support we get here really does mean a lot 🙏😊
It's the 3/4 hour bike ride and setting up in the rain that literally dampens my enthusiasm
@alanstebbings2886 yeah to be honest i think i may struggle a bit with that 🌧😐
Another great video hosted by the 2 of you.lovely to see Catherine back on the bank.
What a wonderful, stunning pike.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year 🎉
May all your wishes come true.
Thanks very much Joe, we really appreciate your kind comment. Wishing you a happy and peaceful Christmas and all the best for 2025 👍
What a lovely caring couple you are. The pike fishing has been hard going lately
Thats very kind of you john thankyou 🤝😊 it has been a tough start to the pike season for a lot of people we,ve spoken to with differences in weather but im sure it,ll pick up as we head towards the end of this year 🙏😊
What a great episode and your right Sean great to see Catherine on the bank , mental health is very important too me as I lost my brother who was also my best friend too suicide 16 years ago and you're right fishing was probably the thing that got me through that time and of course the love of my wife and best ever fishing partner . Anyone who watches the channel and has went through something similar and needs help I'm always available.
Tough times derek and its easy for someone to just say crack on!! But its not that easy my counsellor help me tremendously one minute crying the next laughing getting all the emotions out i felt guilty when i smiled as if i werent alloud to be happy but over time i learnt that it was ok.It had its ups n down,s but it really helped me opening up fishing really helps too it great head space being away in nature guess its natures therapy in a way thanks again derek 🤝😊
@luredbyesox I eventually started to go downhill myself at home and at work , I just get what my brother had done I was with him 2 days before he died and what we didn't know was the pain he was feeling. At work I went from hero to zero and had bit of a breakdown at work so I took time off and went and seemed professional help . Fishing has always been in my life whenever I got asked what I do I always said I was an angler first , there are angling clubs out there that do fish ins to help with struggling people in all aspects maybe guys should find out if there's one in their area and if there's not anglers get together and organise one .
Well done 👍 Great fish 👏

Very good video. Very poignant at this time of year.
Good to see Catherine out and about
Thanks colt 🤝🙂 no one should feel alone in this day and age we can all be there for eachother mate hope you have a great christmas 😊🎄🎁
If anyone is reading this and lives in the Lancashire area and is struggling around this time of year and wants someone to fish with or needs a little bit of help, I'm happy to fish or just talk because iv suffered with all the issues that Sean and Catherine have mentioned in this vid, happy crimbo everyone.
Hi James, Thanks for that offer, it's really kind and generous of you. It's folk like you that help make the world a better place 😀 Wishing you a very happy and peaceful Christmas and all the best for 2025 👍
Amazing generosity James. I love how a vid like this can effect people in a positive way ❤❤❤ much love brother ✌️☘️
Hi sean great to see you and cath back on the bank, just gained membership to a great little lake owned by the national trust. Do you think fishing with unnatural deadbait to natural makes a difference. Theres been a few monsters pulled out and it's not pressured for pike really will me fishing with like lamprey put em off.
Also glad to see you covering mental health after years in the military its something I had to battle with constantly and it shouldn't be stigmatised.
@James.grahamEFC your absolutely right mate we should all have eachothers back nowadays its more important than anything 🤝😊 i guess its harder for man in some ways because we,re meant to be tough but sometimes we need a hand up!! ❤️🤝🙂
I would,nt think that an un natural bait will put em off sometimes sea deadbaits can be better with the release of natural oils sounds like youve dropped on a gem there mate best of luck mate 🤞😎
Try piercing the Gill's on the lamprey, you'll be surprised by the amount of blood and scent that comes out., merry Christmas 🎄
Thanks for that mate ive not used it much so will definetly give it a try 👍😊
That was a lump m8, shes been eating healthy. Same as cath that blue on the eye very rare.
Thankyou james 🤝🙂 she was really healthy great to see 😊 catherine was right hopefully the colours come through on the video 👌🙂 a unique fish 👍
