Haven't caught a Severn Barbel for 40 years since moving away from the Midlands/nice to see a couple. Would be nice to see you back on the Cut with the Pike Flies when you have a chance!
Fortune favours the brave sir! Well done - absolutely stunning fish bud. “I’ve got some spam in the car…..”😂 sounds like a dodgy chat up line or your turning into Bob Mortimer with your car meat!!
Nice one, the older BAA members often reminisce about the good old days and bagging up on the silvers there. They also say it’s nothing like it used to be 😢
Congratulations on the new Barbel PB. I honestly don’t know why people would laugh at and belittle other people’s PB’s 🤷🏻♂️ Regardless of what others think, a 9lb Barbel out of the middle Severn is still a big fish! My Severn Barbel PB sat at approx 5lb for a few years before I beat it earlier this year with a 6lb fish from the Apley section, a fish I was well chuffed with! I’ve since managed to increase to 11lb 2oz Barbel out the middle Severn (it was a bit of an epic session as I had 8 Barbel all over 8lb, including 3 doubles!) but it’s not like these fish throw themselves on the bank every day!
Cheers matey, yeah I often see others getting rinsed for whatever their pb is. Im under no illusion, the first fish was absolutely mint, fin and scale perfect 👌. I’ve been following a lot of people and like you say, it’s not too often you bank lots but great if you can.
Yes steve. Typical though the rivers in flood. So looks like a stillwater or canal. Got tardebigge ressa to go at but not till first of November'. Patshull might be worth a session or 2..
Well done. Lovely fish. 👍
Thank you very much 👍
Cracking fight with that Barbel. What a beauty! I was waiting for it to dissappear into those bushes and be gone. Black country Barbeler....
Thank you very much 👍 yeah I could feel the line rubbing up something on both sides so was a little worried myself
That 2nd take was hilarious😂😂😂
I must confess I watched it back a couple of times myself. There’s no more fish “oh yes there is” 😂😂
Congrats on your new pb mate top fishing just shows the more you go the luckier ya get
Thank you 👍
Your not wrong, the more you wet a line the better your chances 👌

With the weather finally cooling down I’ll have the pike rods out soon. With the rivers in flood the canals would be my only option.

😂😂😂 I’ve always got car snacks but not car meat or out of date yogurt 😅 thank you very much 👍
Superb fishing well done 👍🏼🤘🏽🍺
Cheers Matt 👍
Well done you. I fish the middle seven a lot and it's great.
Thank you, I’m relatively new to barbel fishing with only a few sessions under my belt. I can certainly see why anglers go after them, what a fight!
Love that peg Steve, had my first ever barbel from it & a 2lb+ roach

Cracking video steve. Gives me an incentive to try for the barbel again. Not done much good upto now.
Cheers Bri, I’m sure with yesterday’s and today’s cold dip you’ll have your predator head on now! 😂😂

@@briandurkin586 I still think there’s a 30 lurking there somewhere
Nice little session. I reckon the second one was a fraction smaller, I don’t think they were the same fish 👍
Cheers Phil, I’d convinced myself it was the same fish but looking at the images they are very different fish 👍
Nice vid buddy 🙂 congrats on the pb 👍
Thank you very much 👍
Hi mate, great video! Do you know when you’re doing your next pike video?
Also are you planning on doing any perch fishing soon?
Thank you very much, I think with the cold dip now I’ll be getting the pike rods out. However, with the rivers well in flood I’ll be limited
@@BlackCountryPiker well goodluck, I’m looking forward to it 👍
Amazing, well done
Thank you very much 👍
Well done 👏
Thank you 👍
