You guys are so lucky to have that incredible canal system. I'm always amazed at the energy of your pike too. The UK has much cleaner water and I totally love not seeing trash on the bank. Thanks for the quality of your videos. I'm an older guy now but remember well fishing our creeks in northern Wisconsin as a boy. Your vids take me back 50yrs and enjoy every second of it.
This river probably has a full time bailiff ect to stop that, I think it's a private fishery. Public rivers and lakes can be a lot different. I almost come to blows a couple of times a year, asking people to take their crap home with them. Pet hate litter!
Yeah this is unfortunately the exception and not the rule. This is a stunning stretch and they do exist, but generally our waters are heavily polluted, full of rubbish and/or bodies. These stretches are usually reserved for a game anglers at costs of sometimes hundreds a day
Really impressed how well you handle the pike and show people there's nothing to be scared of and most of all catch and release to fight another day and come back bigger
I do a lot fishing with soft lures, shads etc. After watching your videos i began to let the lure fall static after a fast jigging retrieve and I was very surprised with the amount of takes . Thanks for tip.👍
Another great Essox sesh Chris. Damn, they hit those soft baits hard!😨 Some fantastic slamming takes...and the first fish thought it was a trout!😀 Can't wait to see some of your autumn Essox adventures and I hope you will be returning to the lake where you had those two fine doubles earlier on.
To keep from losing your plastics try using pop rivets, 1 at entrance and 1 at exit, and then threading the leader through the tunnel that creates and then attaching the treble. I do this for musky on way bigger plastics than that and the hook up prevent with a single treble is essentially the same.
hi mate looking for landing net one you can fold like the one in your vid also telescopic handle if possible i seen you use a few different types i go on my bike with my rucksack so more compact be better any ideas on one you think be the best thanks all info welcome cheers great video as always
I use abu beast pro 40 - 100 and a ambassadeur 6500 C syncro. One hell of a combo that. I do like the revo beast but not as much as my syncro 😁 good film. Just got home from some reservoar fishing. We had 6 between us all on lure.
Tjena Daniel. Vad säger du om spöt ? Jag funderar på att köpa ett beast pro men jag vet inte om jag ska välja 100 eller 200 gram. Tycker du att spöt är underklassat ? Fränstam fiskar ju med 120-130 gram med det spöt.
Nice video as usual, but I just came back from a session where FIVE pikes unhooked themselves before I could land them and this is the last thing I want to see. :-)
I think the pike target the chub in the river that's why they like the bigger baits. It's the environment agency. Keeping the water level as low as possible, because they're a bunch of arseholes 😅
Just bought myself a Abu Garcia Pro Max Mk.3 combo and spent a good chunk of money getting myself set up for spinning. But the sad part about all of this is im ready to go but the club that owns/rents the stretch of water down by my local river/canal doesn't allow spinning till October. I live about 15mins walk away from the place too.
Hi all, I was wondering if you could give me some advice with something. I am due to move to Farnborough ,(Hampshire) and was wondering if you guys know about some places close to it where I can do some pike/perch/zander fishing. Any hints would be greatly appreciated as I have nobody else to get this info from. Thanks
This reminds me of a stream near me, It's shallow and clear like this one. Looks like there's nothing In It. But chuck a lure In, and You will be rewarded with fish like these. Nice session again Chris, Can't wait for You to go to the Secret Pool, and catch a Big Girl PB. By the way what Is Your PB Pike?, mine Is 30lb+.
where do you get your lures and hooks from, The ones I've got came with barbs, and am I right in saying you are not allowed to use barbs on hooks for river fish anymore? strange as all the ones I've bought have them, also store-bought ones too.
Hi, i see your rivers have quite some current like the one i fish for pike, do you hane ani tips on how work baits downcurrent? Because i always feel i'm missing something fishing only upstream, especially with jerkbaits. Anyway nice video, keep going
Great video agian! You let the softbait move in the current, that's your technique Chris? I have seen that before...where I fish can't practice this technique. I catch a lot small pike on big sotfbaits 20cm...25cm. Greetings from the Netherlands!
Greetings buddy. My technique for seemingly uninterested pike is to gently twitch the bait on the bottom and most of the time they'll come over and pick it up off the bottom
cant stand triple hooks for any reason very un fish friendly but on top of that i think 90% of people haven't the knowledge to deal with trebles iv seen it so many times you do have the knowledge to deal with them which is clear but i think noobs to predator fishing stick to the singe hook until you can handle a pike with attitude and then maybe trebles iv had pike to 34,07 and il only ever use one single hook fuck trebles there's no positive to them but hooking up
this isn't a slate on you your clearly efficient in knowing what to do but people watching may try it and end up with a lot of dead pike just trying to imitate it and i think it is a issue that should be addressed for the safety of the fish

While it is nice to enjoy clean rivers, the UK is probably one of the worst countries in Europe for litter. Wouldn't look good in a video.

@@tommos16 Thanks for your reply: that's something we as outdoorsmen need to work on if only by being honest. Your vids are amazing, thanks again.
Your casting,whatever is on your hook,is superb.
Plus i'm learning so much from your 'vids',thanks.
Nick.
Really impressed how well you handle the pike and show people there's nothing to be scared of and most of all catch and release to fight another day and come back bigger
I’m watching more of these vids than just about nothing else on YT - great stuff.
I live in Michigan and watch you all the time. Well I am fishing I always got ginger in the background
I love when it's cool enough out for them to be in the shallows, I've caught big pike out of a foot of water so fun!!!
Awesome Pike Chris, they just go for any size lure greedy sods. Stay safe mate all the best from Downunder 👍
Chris, thank you for these videos. They're awesome! Great work!
Great vid Chris - nice one!
Excellent as always chris classic fishing fella,para
I love your videos! I'm so glad you were able to get a sponsorship!! More videos for us!!
Got a couple buddy they're both great companies and great teams aswell
Love the pike vids man , great work
The casting is unbelievable 👍👌🎥🥇
Excellent-honestly I would have passed that stretch by without a second glance!
Great video content, fantastic thank you, also really great to see how healthy the pike are. 👍❤️

Absolutely fantastic mate great content can’t wait to see more keep it coming 👍👍
Great video bud , keep them coming
Love all your drops buddy. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Espectacular 👌viva la pesca y captura y suelta 😉👍un gran saludo
Great video Chris well done pal
Awesome vid once again bud. You make me nervous as hell unhooking them trebles with them feisty pike 😅
Always enjoy your videos! Would love to see you have a go for some zander in the Midlands
It's on my bucket list matey I will be having a zander session at some point.
@@The_ginger_fisherman Good to hear! Was going to comment asking for it on every video 😂
My favourite part was definitely the dog XD
Same here 😂 never met such a happy dog on the bank before
Those must be the hardest fighting pike I've ever seen!
very nice well done mate enjoyed that

Bro we just call them Pike in the UK. We know they're of Essox family but let's be specific.
Fairplay mate .I think there's more fish in your district than in Gloucestershire xxx
brillian video love watching 🐬
love the pike vids!
That shallow what action and hits are amazing
Great video. good luck on 70k
Thanks buddy! Its just around the corner now
Nice pike u had there I went today and got naf all way to weedy for lure fishing so am going next week wi dead bait top vid as normal mate 👍
Great video mate
great video! Tip, you have to but your rig and lure separately to the lock. Then those lures dont come of. Keep em coming!
Love chalkstream fishing, my favourite videos to make
Quality vid 👍
Tried some of your previous baits whopper plopper worked a charm as did the cheap Amazon frog chuffed matey keep it up 👍
some really nice pike mate
How do you get so much success with pike I can be out all day casting with naff all lol.
Every fisherman should carry a bottle of propolis or other likewise fish care liquid for were the hook has been and for any sores the fish has on it
I caught my first pike the other day , it was about 8 inches long but it’s a start 😂
Get on Mate Hope Your Hooked!
Very lively pike. There must be something in the water
Excellent liké Always boss 🤙👌

That tandem treble rig that you used with your baits...where can that be had...or does it come with the bait?

Cool video! You make it look so easy as if it was all staged!
A ginger too a ginger do you ever go out off the UK too fish for pike zander or bass
Good watch,but isn't 75lb braid over doing it a bit !!?
Any plans to go back to the forgotten lake for the huge pike . Be cool to see what other pike is lurking there
Waiting till winter buddy. Dont want to put any pressure on them, so when I target them at they're bigger weights they'll be easier to catch
Nice video as usual, but I just came back from a session where FIVE pikes unhooked themselves before I could land them and this is the last thing I want to see. :-)
Chris could you do a test of Svartzonker McPerch jerks? It’s my guess they will take Perch, Pike and Chub
Столько классных щук,крутая рыбалка,привет из Беларуси!
большая любовь ко всем в России
Сожалею, Беларусь, извиняюсь за то, что вы обрели независимость более 30 лет назад.
Pike and sneakhead are both big challenge in freshwater
should you have weights on it does it swim properly without any
Nice fishes some of which seem determined to get big judging by the size of the lure they'll take. Who the hell cuts the weed, and why?
I think the pike target the chub in the river that's why they like the bigger baits. It's the environment agency. Keeping the water level as low as possible, because they're a bunch of arseholes 😅

Should try the Revo Beast 41 or Revo Toro Beast 61 with those Rods and Lures, much better matched with centrifugal brake and 14kg drag

Mate give us one location im from Manchester and never have this much success on river or canal
Could you tell me where you got your braid leader from ?
Also what's best ready made traces ?
Where did you get that bait it's awesome lol
I just got the set off ,amazon Abu Garcia beast limited edition 2021 . Hope this a help to you .
No. You are fishing with a beast pro rod up till 100 gram and the reel is a revo beast x.
Great combo thou 👍😅
won't catch many beasts in knee-deep water, but it is fun
Youd be suprised mate. If there is a good head of fish there you can bet the pike know it.
where do you get your lures and hooks from, The ones I've got came with barbs, and am I right in saying you are not allowed to use barbs on hooks for river fish anymore? strange as all the ones I've bought have them, also store-bought ones too.
Common problem but easy enough to to flatten the barbs with (thin nose) pliers - just be careful not to damage the hook point.
Any chance of a Zander video one day?
I will do matey
@@The_ginger_fisherman top man, keep em coming !
Amazing water , nice big pikes ... brilliant videos !
I' ve small , dirty canal , small pikes . My videos .... poor ...
Good luck !
Hi, i see your rivers have quite some current like the one i fish for pike, do you hane ani tips on how work baits downcurrent? Because i always feel i'm missing something fishing only upstream, especially with jerkbaits.
Anyway nice video, keep going
Yea I nearly always fish downstream or across the current. Too much slack when your casting upstream it can be difficult getting hookups
@@The_ginger_fisherman Ok, now i know i'm not doing so bad after all 😅 Thanks for the reply
👍
Pike everywhere lol
is it just me ho notised the flip flop at 10.30
Hi what setup do you use and what does it cost
This setup is in the description buddy
What river is this
Did the first “beast” go down the fall? 😅
Almost 😅
Great video agian!
You let the softbait move in the current, that's your technique Chris?
I have seen that before...where I fish can't practice this technique.
I catch a lot small pike on big sotfbaits 20cm...25cm.
Greetings from the Netherlands!
Greetings buddy. My technique for seemingly uninterested pike is to gently twitch the bait on the bottom and most of the time they'll come over and pick it up off the bottom
@@The_ginger_fisherman No this technique you use, never seen before
with another fisherman
Only with deadbait not with softbaits/lures
In which country are you fishing?
England UK
@@ronniebiggs4026, i see - thank you for letting me know. You have very beautiful places!
where about you fishing?
What river is that?
Read his channel description, he doesn't want people asking for locations.
Would you mind telling me where this river is based around
Read his channel description, he doesn't want people asking for locations.
Alright mate
You really should wear a headstrap or headmount on a cap instead because your arms are often in the frame. Great vids still.
Shut up Joakim.
We have different definitions of "beasts"
🤩👍✋🙋♂️
First
hellooooo
When hot wings video?

You lucks bugger, we never see the environment agency on the river gipping, the have left it go to wrack and ruin, for the most part unfishable
Stop the treble hooks, not good for the fish or yourself.
