- Guys what can I say…
I wasn’t sure if I should put this up at first but Kev was ok with his moment going up and if nothing else this channel is as authentic as it gets,it is was it is.
People who know how much effort I put into my fishing and this channel tbf can probably understand.
Others may not! but here it is laid bare please comment and offer advice as you see fit but if you do please watch the whole thing first.
I’ve always gone for a very heavy drag but i think it cost me this fish so from now im going to try a lighter drag and see how i get on.
Thanks for your continued support tight lines Paul 🎣

I know the feeling. Today I lost a big fish too.... Couldn't do much. It spooled me and then dove into the rocks😢😢 It's all in the game
I’ve just been fishing as soon as I did my first cast it all came flooding back lol next big one it will soon be forgotten 🎣🎣
Hi Paul, i switched to a 12ft spinning rod predominately because i needed the extra distance to fish from beaches as you do. I wanted to avoid waders because i walk for miles on sessions so a 12ft spinning rod was the answer for me. I happened to catch a 75cm monster and im sure i wouldnt have landed it on a shorter flimsy stick. 😅. The larger rod gives much more control over fish and i would never swap back to a 9ft. I can pop a seeker 100yds with no effort, even further if i really thwack it.
Hi Phillip, I have thought about getting a long 60ish gram rod. I think I would only use it at this particular mark tho. If I was fishing for the table I would I’m sure but as it’d for sport I want it to be an enjoyable scrap on a 40-50 cm fish as that’s what I normally catch. It’s a double edged sword I guess. In this instance it was the leader that broke as I had too much drag on so doubt that a bigger rod would have helped. 🤷🏻♂️
@chuckitandsea Yup, smaller fish are less fun on on the 12ft for sure. Twitching the lures with the wrist is also hard with the 12ft.
@@phillipb72 yeah it’s all a balance. I’m sure I’ve had two doubles on now both on film that’s what makes us coming back I guess 👍🏻
Gutted for you mate . What a take !! All you can do is carry on . Like you say..... It will come !
Thanks 🙏
Yeah it was a propa take it just sucked it in and it went solid and heavy.. you know it’s big as they seem to think about it before they go off on a run. Almost like they are going “oh shit that’s not food” fuck run/swim 😂
I know that feeling 😢 very unlucky with that one. I hate losing any fish but the big ones stay with you for a while. All will be forgotten when you land the next big fish. These F360s certainly do the business for you, I will have to get some in once I've gone through my seekers. Thanks for another great video.
Thanks for your positive comment 👍🏻
I’m sure within seconds of me holding up an easy double I will forget about this … it’s all part of the learning process I guess. F360 is a good lure but I still don’t think it’s quite as versatile as the seeker. Time will tell when I want a metal I will be fishing them back to back so it will all unfold on the channel 👍🏻
Many moons ago I lost a 12 plus out in the boat I watched it all happen fish was just beyond net reach on top of the water ready for the net it flared its gills and shook its head I could see the line wrapped around its gill raker good bye I did swear. Keep at it had my shore pb last November 70 cm looking for an 80 now 😊
Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
Oh you saw it not sure if that makes it better or worse 😂 nice work on the 70 👍🏻 keeps us chucking them lures
70 was a complete fluke hooked it and had it on the weed in less than 30 seconds not sure who was more surprised 😳 was nice watching her swimming away. Have ago at night with albie snax have caught 11 fish in last two night sessions 3 over 50 try dropping tide with a bit of depth over some structure the hits can be on the drop, mid retrieve or literally under your feet it’s very addictive I would say more than top water as you are relying on touch or feel as you slowly wind in 👍🏼
I agree I’ve fished same lure well the sidewinder version (bass sticks) ultra slow at night great fun👍🏻
Ffs 😂 just like me Paul. Does my head in for days although you are a much better fisherman than me!
Love every video so thanks mate.
Be lucky 🍀
Thanks Glenn … it’s been about 3 and a half weeks so far it’s slowly drifting into the past until I pick up the rod 😂
Well done Paul! Great video! Great attitude! 💪💪👏👏👌😐👍👍
There’s always the next cast! 🙏🙏🎣🎣🐟🐟
Thanks Glenn… I always have an extra Chuck don’t I 👍🏻 with your guidance I will land a double one day 🙏
@@chuckitandsea I’m sure it will happen!
Yep sure will 👍🏻
well done that man, i feel your pain, but you worked your way through it , PB will come. cheers..................
Thanks Eric I’m sure it will at some point probably when I’m not expecting it 🎣🎣
Bonito have been caught from the shore up this end of Cardigan Bay and the Llynn Peninsula so keep the metals flying
Yeah I’ve heard 👍🏻
It was definitely a Bass it pulled so hard on the third run but it was a slow tail movement not like a Bonito. Be nice to get on the Bonito over here save airfare to Lanzarote 😂
@chuckitandsea yeah my best bass 8lb (not sure of length but long enough lol) hung there in a channel using its huge tail to hold in the current and it tried slapping the leader too. Keep at it. your time will come my friend
Fingers crossed thanks Will 👍🏻
Ahh so close shame about that bass Paul next time eh !!! At least you know where it lives now and if you message western and mention you have a you tube channel and enjoy using there lures they might send you out something it's worth a email !!! Remember shy kids get no sweets !!!!!
Good point mate I’ve just had 7 new F360s some Westin fluorocarbon land on my mat should have thought about that before 😂
Nooooooooooooo! Screaming reels……I could see the steam coming off the line😂😂. Bugger. Next time my friend. 👍👍🐟🐟
Let’s hope so Nige 🎣🎣🎣
Unlucky, we've all been there though and it hurts. You'll get your double soon with the time and effort you put in. A quick question: What wading boots do you use? I'm currently using some old, oversized trail shoes but they rubbish on rough ground, no grip..
Hi Bob,
Here’s the video of the boots. If you skip over putting the studs in you will find the one year review 👍🏻

I felt that Paul. Tough as hell mate that is. Glad you didn't end it there tho. Great resilience in the face of nature's sh1t housery. Good on ya😅💪👏
Cheers Simon.
Got to be in it to win it I guess 👍🏻
Schoolie still made me smile 😊
@@chuckitandsea Yes. Good to see you rewarded 👍
Cracking session. I am also fond of the westin f360 very good lure for mak and bass. Our Biggest fish fell to a Toby. It casts worse in the wind but has more action than seeker and westin 360.
Oh my the feeling of not knowing what was on the end of it.😮😢. It's awesome though bass fishing never gets boring love it.
I know it was an easy double unbelievable power and weight 🤷🏻♂️it is what it is ! Caught a couple of schoolies after 😂
Paul can I give you a bit of advice please mate 🙏 Don't pump your rod when you get a fish on because it allows the line to go slack. It's fine with the big beachcasters because you've got a instant hook hold but these bass are very finicky and they try to engulf the bait and then spitting it out at the last second. Get that rod nice and high and keep it high just so the tension stays on the hook hold 👍
Yes of course any advice welcome 👍🏻
I get where you’re coming from and don’t disagree with where you’re coming from. In this instance I did just that ! Any movement you can see in the rod was from where the fish was taking line from my very tight drag (probably what cost me the fish) it wasn’t coming off smoothly! I just put the rod up and held on the fish was very well hooked it was the leader that broke in the middle the lure was still in the fish hopefully it rotted out quickly 😳
@@chuckitandsea Those big Bass are very fit Paul and it certainly seems like you hooked a big fish as when they turn around and steam off like that they are more than likely a special fish. You will be rewarded for your loss mate and maybe just give the drag a turn back so it can turn and take some line otherwise it will just pull out of the corner of its lip. Honestly looking at the footage you gave us it certainly looked like a tank and to part your leader it's got to have been a big fish 🐟🎣
I’m confident it was an easy double but we will never know. I’ve reduced my drag considerably even a solid 60 didn’t take any line the way I had it set up that day! I had a nice 54 on the new setting and it pulled 3 small amounts of drag I’m guna practice ready for the next time 👍🏻
I feel your pain I have lost and landed big fish I would say I fish with not such a tight drag now and keep calm and take my time on the big ones. It's all part of game and keeps us coming back you can't win them all.
Yeah that’s the plan I’ve backed my drag off and am practicing being comfortable with the drag going. I had a stunning 54 the other day and it was a pleasure to play it👍🏻 it took line on 3 or 4 occasions. So that’s the plan get accustomed to it ready for the next time I get a big one. Thanks for your comment 👍🏻
feel every bit of that mate, happend me with a double fig seatrout last year, done what you did, sat on a rock and tried not to cry, 😢😢 the pain does lessen mate but serious hard lines loosin it
Thanks James .. I’ve been over fishing since and it’s taken away the fun.
Sure I’ll settle down soon 😂
@@chuckitandseanever know mate if it held 1 brute theres bound to be another 👍👍🎣
@whitetroutchannel I’ve fished it to death since on similar tides etc nowt but schoolies 😂
Don’t think I’ve ever heard you sound so angry and gutted Paul , it must of been a good fish to get a reaction like that out of you, I really felt for you mate, I’ve only ever caught a couple of little schoolies , so wouldn’t know the feeling, mainly big Wrasse down here off the rocks in Cornwall, I’ve lost a few of those, but not the same as a big bar of silver, love your channel and videos though Paul , you make me laugh
Thanks Stephen… I don’t think I’ve been that upset at loosing a fish either lol embarrassing..but had a word with myself later. I just try to show my fishing as it happens as it is Raw is the best description. I guess.
Thanks for the comment! I’ve had a few bass in Cornwall back down first week of September I think 👍🏻
I'm going fishing tomorrow and I feel sick already
Why sick ? Just the excitement 😄
I've had 4 cans I'm grand now .I'll let you know how I get on in your next video.
@@markclohessy1128 I need a beer aswell think I’ll leave the fish cave to get one 👍🏻 tight lines 🎣
Good video bro ps was that water dirty 😊
Yeah fairly dirty with lots of floating weed it was hard going but nearly worth it 😂
@@chuckitandsea thanks for the reply bro as am going to rye Harbour Thursday withe seeker's bro
Good luck tight lines 🎣🎣
could have been a tope or dog fish would explain leader breaking.
Anything is possible!
It felt like a big bass but I guess it’s just another fisherman’s tale 🤷🏻♂️
Know how you feel losing a biggie , really gutted for you , nice to see you stick at it though
Thanks Pete 👍🏻
It will come at some stage
@@chuckitandsea it will , there out there somewhere near you , stay optimistic like all fishermen should , those assist lures and jigs worked miracles out in Norway
@@jmr5551000 what lures were they ?
