That was shocking to see Matt and a vivid reminder to all river fishermen to stay safe. I regularly fish a quiet club stretch of the Severn and I'm alone more often than not. A dog spike and a knotted rope goes with me along with a lightweight life-jacket. It's worth the faff and it keeps my wife happy! Smashing video despite the fall. Looking forward to the next one.
Oh Badge 🤦♂️ glad your ok buddy, cracking video matey. Was good to see you today at the shop with your minnow free pants 😂 Keep these vids coming buddy Big Jim 👍
What a highlight of how dangerous the river can be. I personally don't wear waders unless I am actually wading in (normally during summer months in shallow water) they can be a deathtrap if you go under.
No doubt Clive, as I said in the Video I'm a really good swimmer, I realised then that it doesn't matter how good a swimmer you are, my legs started to cramp up almost instantly hence the real panic!
🤣🤣🤣fair play to you leaving that fall In . I did it myself up to my neck I’m December. It scared me to death ! Great video besides that and I love your style and approach. Tight lines 😉🎣🎣
Boots and waders are normally essential bits of kit but boy they work against you when full of water falling in. Even in summer the panic sets in. Well done for showing that trauma Matt and tight lines.
Good video mate, as a few others of said.... fair play for keeping the fall in! Highlights the dangers! I'm off to the Severn next weekend, thinking a day ticket stretch near Quat.
Matt good video this was shared on a Facebook forum as a warning to people and the dangers of falling in. Glad your OK. As someone wise commented below you definitely (understandably) went into shock. Take it easy bro thanks for sharing going to subscribe. Rarely fished the Severn more the wye.. But live so far away now! I've got bass instead. Cheers Jon
Done that a few times myself Badger! Great video! I did it in February in flood on a freezing cold day, my son fell in and I jumped in and saved him. It was very scary mate. Glad you recovered well mate!
Great and informative as usual Matt, You'll probably have a laugh about your dunking now but yes it's a serious aspect of fishing alone in the wild, it always happens to someone else.....until it happens to you!! I think you were in shock when you climbed out and the first thing you did was shake the landing net!!! I p*ssed myself at that!! Anyway glad your safe and ready to do battle again, All the best mate 👍🎣💪
It's a club stretch at coalport mate, 65 a year, but quite a waiting list unfortunately, there is a day ticket bit nearby, called the brewery inn section👍
Great vid badge the best yet 👍 the fall was shocking mate glad ur ok get yourself a small life jacket for when your out on your own & don’t let it put u off as these are some of the best fishing vids on UA-cam 👌
some absolutely spot on advice there mate,always be careful on the banks. I Nearly went in at Highley last week and it does shake you up, and is that a Bloxwich twang im picking up there.I only ask because i'm in Walsall , good information and thanks for the time and trouble to post.👍
Cracking video mate. It does go to show how dangerous the banks are!! Done it myself a fair few years back. Just took my landing net and my bag off and stepped down onto an undercut bank it give way and I went completely under!!! Scary is an understatement even for us strong swimmers!! Stay safe on banks all! Chris.
Nice vid mate.. Get yourself a dog spike though for this time of year. I fell in the Severn at Shrews a while back.. You don’t want to be in there near any flow in the clothes you’re wearing. 🎣👍
I've heard people say about the foam before it's never put the fish off for me and not by you as we seen. Shit that was a shock falling in didn't see that coming 😭 deep on the inside there mate. Glad your OK mate.
Yes mate I've seen people regularly say it's knocked the fishing on the head! Yeah it did shock me, just a reminder for us to be careful ay! Thanks mate👍
That was shocking mate - glad you are ok - get yourself a life jacket - just something to get you out of trouble - especially when you are fishing alone and in a swim that is very deep
Wow that was a close one, but you had some lovely fish as well, I bet your glad your home, get in the shower & relax,😊
Yes buddy very close! Thank you I did!
Well done mate
Great video hilarious but really dangerous at the same time
👍😍
Cheers And! Yes I was a lucky boy👌😂

Thanks Mark appreciate that! Yeah definitely gonna take more care in the future👌
Glad to see you climbed out. What a scare for you
@@Newlyretired yes mate the gods were shining on me that day🙏
Oh Badge 🤦♂️ glad your ok buddy, cracking video matey.
Was good to see you today at the shop with your minnow free pants 😂
Keep these vids coming buddy
Big Jim 👍
Cheers jim😂, I will do mate nice one!
Ooo that looked chilly at the end!
It definitely was!
@@badgersangling At least you're OK, good reminder of how easy it is. Always concerned me how I'd cope with waders full if I fell in
@@twincamspit luckily I didn't have Waders on I had a bub and brace and boots! But yeah a stark reminder to be aware of your surroundings👍
What a highlight of how dangerous the river can be. I personally don't wear waders unless I am actually wading in (normally during summer months in shallow water) they can be a deathtrap if you go under.
Indeed Rob!!
Good video. Thanks for leaving the swimming in, it’s a reminder to all what can happen.
I’ve been in a few times, but only shallow swims.
Cheers dave! Yeah if it makes someone think about it just once then it's served its purpose hasn't it👌
What is evident there is what most people forget the shock and panic.
No doubt Clive, as I said in the Video I'm a really good swimmer, I realised then that it doesn't matter how good a swimmer you are, my legs started to cramp up almost instantly hence the real panic!
@@badgersangling I've fallen in before where I couldn't get straight out and took me about two minutes to calm down
🤣🤣🤣fair play to you leaving that fall In . I did it myself up to my neck I’m December. It scared me to death !
Great video besides that and I love your style and approach.
Tight lines 😉🎣🎣
Thank you Barry! I was in two minds I'll be honest but never one to shy away from a laugh at my expense!😂, thanks a lot mate appreciate it👌🎣
Bloody hell Matt, that just goes to show how dangerous the river bank can be, pleased to see you are OK bud. Great video by the way.
Yes Barry, scary stuff! I'm glad I could laugh about it after! Cheers mate nice one!
Boots and waders are normally essential bits of kit but boy they work against you when full of water falling in. Even in summer the panic sets in. Well done for showing that trauma Matt and tight lines.
Thanks Paul! Yeah it certainly made me panic, no matter how good you can swim I'm sure it would get anybody in that situation! Tight lines buddy
Good video mate, as a few others of said.... fair play for keeping the fall in! Highlights the dangers!
I'm off to the Severn next weekend, thinking a day ticket stretch near Quat.
Thanks kev! Yeah no doubt about it! Happy days hope you get a few!

Thanks Jon appreciated! I'll be more careful from now on! Never know one day I might come to you for some bass in swap for a few barbel😂👌🎣
@@badgersangling your very welcome genuinely 😀👍
Done that a few times myself Badger! Great video! I did it in February in flood on a freezing cold day, my son fell in and I jumped in and saved him. It was very scary mate. Glad you recovered well mate!
Yeah not the best mate! Thanks for that I appreciate it! Fair play to you mate I'd do the same! Cheers buddy 👍
Enjoy watching your videos.
I'm new to barbel fishing.
But what is your preferred barbel boilie.
Thank you! If I had to choose one boilie it would be the source boilies I used in this video👍
Great and informative as usual Matt,
