Gotta say.... Out of all your videos this is my personal favourite. That trout is absolutely stunning! Theirs so many epic fishing videos out there but for me this one has that little extra bit of magic!
I’ve captured a few large wild browns in my time on small waters like this, but this one was off the chart. The build up to the hooking and the fight in this vid was incredible. I absolutely love your channel ❤
This defies everything i know about trout fishing, i would never have thought you would catch a trout that big in somewhere like that. What a fish! Well done Chris!
I would say thats exactly where you would catch a trout like that and you said why yourself.... I dont think many people are fishing there so the trout are allowed to grow big and beefy just like that one.
well i live in Norway where brownies is the regular specie the entire country and mostly wild even if some hatchery fish are released because of electric dams etc and i have an average of 150-200 days fishing the last 50 years so even if i dont call myself an expert i dont exactly call myself clueless either....But i guess you fish way more and have a lot more knowledge so i bow to you in shock and awe.... @@markboyd6694
I'm in Australia mate and love your lure fishing. I'm not only a fishermen but also keep large Australian predator fish as pets...teaches you alot. Seeing trout being caught is amazing to me
Now that is impressive! With Catch and release as standard the only example to be setting... Fishing at its finest a true ambassador for the sport. Well done mate...
Agreed, catch and release is the only way for wild browns. We have to preserve the native stocks at all costs. That said, you would be unwise to take a fish from this environment for consumption, probably full of heavy metals and such like! I fish for the table in fisheries that stock rainbows but I never take a brown, it's my unwritten rule.
most of the people watching this video - understandably due to demographics- are likely to be under 40 and therefore don't appreciate how amazing the conservation efforts have been over the last 50 years. I was fishing in London in the early 70s and we had to go at least 20 miles out of town before we had any chance of catching a decent fish which had not been affected by pollution. We are doing a few things right with our environmental protection legislation and stellar work from local conservation groups. Great video which incentivizes us all to put back into conservation. It is inevitable that in a city environment there will be people who throw trash and shopping carts into the river - but compared with the industrial pollution of past eras we are making some good progress.
As a young teen I absolutely loved fishing and spent hours/days/nights living and breeding fishing. Mum would bring my tea to the lake for me when I wouldn't come home. I did a lot more night fishing than anything and always target tench. I was not rich so I only had the basics, I didn't even use a touch and would use the moon for hooking baits and stuff. I am in my 40s now and just wish I could get back into it but I just can't find a way back in to the sport. I love these videos and I reckon you would easily get a TV series of some sort. Congrats on the pb and I look forward to more content 👍. Tattoo is going to look great when it's done mate
Fantastic trout. .... I love catching big browns in the most urban. Non looking trout environments... something special about a big bruising brown from those places❤!!!!!!
Superb catch and a superb video upload. Enjoyable and entertaining throughout. Who would have thought that there were fish of that size in these areas.
what a brilliant Trout very well done, Them part's probably never get fished, shame about the rubbish in the water but the most of it look's very nice, Thank you Chris,
Awesome Brownie. Good to see you released it too. Many would have been tempted to pop it under a grill with some butter then garnish with toasted almond flakes.
Very determined. The fish AND YOU! DogGone you fish in an underground jungle. Your determination paid off. Just a beautiful Brownie. Congrats on your PB. Great looking fish as bd it really was a lunker.
What a Beauty! And a fight like a Thriller. The footage, the music your emotions from 8:13 on is for me the best fishing content on youtube for a while. Because i feel like i am in the moment. Congrats mate and always tight lines from Germany.
Well done my son. Explorers are still looking for the Yeti but you've proved what you have always told us that "Monster wild trout are living in urban waterways." Well done again. Keep posting your adventures. I will be there with you looking over your shoulder
I am stunned at that huge urban trout. It really was your day, I thought it was going to come off too. And what great condition it was in too. Much respect, a day never to forget!!😊
Fish of a lifetime buddy. Wading and casting upstream has its perils but you've shown it's the only way to target the top of the food chain predators. Amazing
Superb trout pal, ive had a Brownie over 6lb out of loch Ness and some fairly big ones of other lochs but to get one in that stretch of water was unreal. Great job actually landing it.👍🏴
Stunning fish and you did well not to lose it fella.... I've had a few like that unexpectedly, when fishing for chub and perch in the past..... they've got some go in them.... Love those chaotic moments when your sure it's all gonna go tits up but somehow you end up with the fish in the net....
Chris, cracking trout, absolute beauty!! We have a chalk stream near to where I work, that also went under a road, I used to watch the trout being fed by passers by, all between 6oz to maybe 2lb., every now and then you would see a fish that you describe as a rat muncher, similar to the one you caught, there were brownies and rainbows, all fish originally came from a lake 2 miles upstream in the ground if a posh house. You cant fish the stretch where the trout are due to council law, but it's great watching them. Love the tattoos as wel👍 Kev
What a beauty of a trout man! Well done! That single hook saved you the fish if you had treble on that fish would be probably gone. Looking forward for another video. Tight lines!
What an amazing catch, and in urban waters too! I live in a rural area and never actually thought about trout in an urban setting, but now gonna have to rethink my fishing venues.
Catch them in the little River Chelt where i live , same as your spot run,s under shops, roads, etc. Always amazes people, They think I'm crazy but hey, proofs in the pudding or the catch. Well done you stunning catch.
Dude that was an absolute unit of a Trout...must have been such a buzz to finally land it with all that cover and snags it had you through. Fish of a lifetime get in!!
G'day Chris. Awesome Brown Trout welldone. Your sleave is comming on nicely, trust you Mr accident waiting to happen. Great video, all the best form down under mate 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome my friend caught one at around the 6lb mark when we were kids in my local river which looks very similar to this one. Fish of a lifetime really good to see there are a few still out there
I've only just discovered your channel as I'm starting fishing as a beginner. Even though I've never fished before even I was holding my breath when you were trying to land that huge trout. Great channel, great content 👏
Hi there, great catch,some people are commenting on the rubbish and how neglected that stretch of river is but that’s probably why fish of this size are there because nobody fishes there much and there is minimal disturbance however it is a shame that people feel fit to chuck rubbish into the river anyway well done Chris 👍
What a majestic fish on caught in unglamorous circumstances. Incredible. I like how you use the single barbless hooks on your spinners. Those treble hooks can do some damage. Well done, man.
Fish of a lifetime in this country, well done buddy

@@MrKveite1 i was more thinking about how little a flow, and how shallow it is. But yea for sure nobody fishing somewhere like that.
Yes but trout live shallow and low flow in the wild too, it's a super adaptive specie:)@@PG_FISHING
@@MrKveite1 there's always an expert somewhere
well i live in Norway where brownies is the regular specie the entire country and mostly wild even if some hatchery fish are released because of electric dams etc and i have an average of 150-200 days fishing the last 50 years so even if i dont call myself an expert i dont exactly call myself clueless either....But i guess you fish way more and have a lot more knowledge so i bow to you in shock and awe....

Petition to add that trout into the tattoo design!
Absolute gobsmacker, cracking bit of angling
Never a bad upload! Always top quality in every way. The scenery, the music, the commentary and of course the fishing
Nice tattoo my daughter has a kraken tattooed right down her back
Hello from Marmaris Türkiye .This is my king of fishing . i like to catch oversized fish in an unexpected place. What a beautiful trout , great video.

I was on the edge of my seat holding my breath during that battle amazing angling Chris 🎣👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow. Chris that is one of the best catches I have ever seen or heard of.

Love the kingfisher footage!
Fantastic trout. .... I love catching big browns in the most urban. Non looking trout environments... something special about a big bruising brown from those places❤!!!!!!
Well done man! Must of had your heart racing. 5.93 pounds, gotta love tue ol imperial metric mix
Wow, just wow!! Congrats man, that is an absolutely beauty of a fish!! Just magnificent!!
Thanks for the great video. Heartening that such a beautiful fish can thrive in an environment which man has made grotesque.
You are the Don, your enthusiasm would be excellent for a teaching career, the passion is so contagious ❤️
Superb catch and a superb video upload. Enjoyable and entertaining throughout. Who would have thought that there were fish of that size in these areas.
what a brilliant Trout very well done, Them part's probably never get fished, shame about the rubbish in the water but the most of it look's very nice, Thank you Chris,
Awsome 👍 fantastic watch i was praying that trout went in the net. Magnificent trout from a remarkable location well done .
Bloody awsome! I remember catching a similar fish with hooked jaws in the calder about 20 years ago. A fish you will never forget!!
Beautifully filmed and VERY exciting to watch. Well done Chris
This video was keeping me on the edge of my seat with all that snag and branches! Awesome catch!
Awesome Brownie.
Good to see you released it too.
Many would have been tempted to pop it under a grill with some butter then garnish with toasted almond flakes.
And thats! why it is called a sport. Wow what a thrill to watch. Absolute beast I would not expect such a fish there. Thank you for sharing.
i love it when the 'big fish music' plays!
Brilliant contribution, one of the best fishing videos I've seen.....congratulations!
Love the shots of the Kingfishers and other wild life! Nice work again!
Very determined. The fish AND YOU! DogGone you fish in an underground jungle. Your determination paid off. Just a beautiful Brownie. Congrats on your PB. Great looking fish as bd it really was a lunker.
Beautiful Brown Chris! The largest Brown I ever caught was under a culvert in a tiny slow moving stream, 21' And 7.3 lbs. It brings me back. Nice job!
What a Beauty! And a fight like a Thriller. The footage, the music your emotions from 8:13 on is for me the best fishing content on youtube for a while. Because i feel like i am in the moment.
Congrats mate and always tight lines from Germany.
I am just in awe of this accomplishment. Fantastic!
Probably the best fight yet, amazing brown Well-done.
Good luck with the sleeve
Well done my son. Explorers are still looking for the Yeti but you've proved what you have always told us that "Monster wild trout are living in urban waterways." Well done again. Keep posting your adventures. I will be there with you looking over your shoulder
Amazing Chris as usual,catching trout of a life time, "it's time to write the book".
I am stunned at that huge urban trout. It really was your day, I thought it was going to come off too. And what great condition it was in too. Much respect, a day never to forget!!😊
Fish of a lifetime buddy. Wading and casting upstream has its perils but you've shown it's the only way to target the top of the food chain predators. Amazing
You get some of the most cinematic shots of any fisherman on youtube, love it mate keep doing what you're doing
Absolute beautiful fish, well done !
Congratulations.
Absolutely fantastic best fishing video I've seen in a long time!
Superb bit of fishing action, and what a fish! Well done mate!
Been missing your trout videos. Worth the wait. What a tank of a fish.
Love the pattern of markings on that big Trout, great looking fish.
Brilliant video Chris. Going down stream is also good past the library from the road bridge at the side of the church up to the old pumping station
I love each and every thing about this video.... God bless you mate...
That is definitely a WOW FISH!!!
Well done Chris.
😎🎣🐟
Good to see a river that's actually got a decent stock of fish and looks in relatively good condition - especially in an urban environment.
That river is in terrible condition
What a beautiful fish from such an aesthetically damaged surrounding, your dogged perseverance proves yet again he who dares wins.
Beautiful fish. Interesting enough, in my home country you can find trouts in the mountain waters only.
Absolutely awesome! Congratulation! Excellent footage, too! Thumbs up!
Cracking pb, and the ferns in the background at the end matched your tattoo 😉👍🏴
Fair play on that fish and love the tattoo! It's almost like the realtree one i wanted
Brilliant well done lovely video nice trout was nerve-racking watching that 😬👍🐟🎣
Legit probably one if not the greatest catch (any species) I’ve seen a video of- earned that brother! Dope!!!
Epic sketchey battle,i nearly fell off my chair a few times and what a fantastic fish ,good angling 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Superb trout pal, ive had a Brownie over 6lb out of loch Ness and some fairly big ones of other lochs but to get one in that stretch of water was unreal. Great job actually landing it.👍🏴
Thanks for sharing what a great fish hope you catch plenty more 🐠
Stunning fish and you did well not to lose it fella....
I've had a few like that unexpectedly, when fishing for chub and perch in the past..... they've got some go in them....
Love those chaotic moments when your sure it's all gonna go tits up but somehow you end up with the fish in the net....
Unbelievable fight and fish. Moment for a lifetime. Congrats from Germany and Norway💪
One of your best, beautiful fish. Great resolution on the close ups
Chris, cracking trout, absolute beauty!!

Absolute warrior of a fish...Stunning.
Congratulations Chris, mega footage.
Excellent work Chris. Maybe it was the new tat that did it!
Superb stuff Chris - a great watch
Loving your videos, always good but quality and content….and lots of hard work editing, setting up etc, much appreciated
What a Trout!...& well deserved Chris, good on you.
What an amazing catch, and in urban waters too! I live in a rural area and never actually thought about trout in an urban setting, but now gonna have to rethink my fishing venues.
Smashin brownie big fella, they are so amazingly marked. Happy PB 👍

Always amazes people,
They think I'm crazy but hey, proofs in the pudding or the catch.
Well done you stunning catch.
Well done - Awesome trout and you kept your cool when all seemed lost!
Dude that was an absolute unit of a Trout...must have been such a buzz to finally land it with all that cover and snags it had you through. Fish of a lifetime get in!!
Oh mate that trout! That would of been a massive challenge on the fly in that setting! Stay at it mate
Chris, that was absolutely epic, that Brownie is a right unit!! Very well done mate, I was with you all the way, just superb 👏🏼👏🏼😎👍🏼😀😀😀🐟
Wow !!!!!!!!... well done Chris

Congratulations Chris that's a beast. Ink looking great mate
What a unit that Trout was. Great catch
Deffo a big unit that trout. Congrats on the PB.
Hi there, great catch,some people are commenting on the rubbish and how neglected that stretch of river is but that’s probably why fish of this size are there because nobody fishes there much and there is minimal disturbance however it is a shame that people feel fit to chuck rubbish into the river anyway well done Chris 👍
What a majestic fish on caught in unglamorous circumstances. Incredible. I like how you use the single barbless hooks on your spinners. Those treble hooks can do some damage. Well done, man.
CRAZY! Congrats on the new pb! Appreciate all the work you put in your vids !! 👍🏼👍🏼
Brilliant well done. Who would have thought that fish would be in there
Great work Chris what a nice city trout, you my man are a real expert.
Fantastic Video and PB. Well Done Chris
