Lovely video- no ego trip or anything. The enjoyment shines out of his eyes- well done!
The way he explains things makes me love fishing
My best fish I've ever caught was a big perch. I was in awe truly. It was over the lea, fairly industrialised part but my local really. Remember using the biggest worm I've ever seen collected from my garden. I was convinced nothing big enough would take it, but I gave it a go anyway. It was afternoon, the river was quiet and few people about. Used a bob float which I since lost sadly. It's funny, as a bob float has a big surface area...so when it's under you know it's gotta be something worthy. When hooked I was sure it was a carp. In fact I had two attempts, and on the second time that bob skidded across and under to the far bank it was hooked. Unless you've had a really big perch you can't understand the experience. I guess it's probably cos all the ones you've ever caught, even the bigger ones are dwarfed by the biggy........that's the specimen you've dreamed of. That perch from that part of the river, which had been and is now, like a lot of waters under pressure from various factors including pollution. So for a large perch to survive is even more amazing. I wonder if any remain now..........I hope so....

Brilliant.A joy to watch.Thank you Alfie.
Nicely shot. Gotta love a big perch.
Lovely vid! Really captures that indescribable passion we have for them, anglers hey day! No mortgage, no kids, no ever hungry career that begs more and more time and energy, just big beutiful stripeys!!!
No women aswell maybe that all fucks things up!😂
Love this video. Clearly has a big passion for big perch 🎣
Beautiful images and filming!
Awesome video Alfie, great fishing buddy💯👌
From one Alfie to another. That was a great video. See you on the bank.
Wow these Perch are something else, I must get on the Thames soon, ome very big Perch in this river, really enjoyed this, excellent talk, and saying it as it is,
wonderfull colours on these fish.
Just found this clip mate - what great dangling ! Cracking fish - thanks for sharing !!
Beautiful video thanks for sharing!
Cracking video really enjoyed that, some monster perch there !
Amazing fish and a quality video I wish it was longer watched it so many times lol
Brilliant video mate, well done!
Great fun. Thank you for sharing.
Great video loved it.🦈🦈🦈
Good work Alfie!
Alfie
They are some fantastic fish. Great to see them being caught. My local reservoir has some really big perch but being 100acres it can be a task to speci hunt them. If you ever fancy another river you do well on the Trent or Wye
Great video. Never caught anything over 1 pound but they are so much fun to catch.
Awesome video Alfie mate 🎣 can't wait to land a big perch one day tight lines fella
Well done and thanks, everything seems to be Carp Carp with young anglers these days but catching a specimen Perch or Roach etc etc can be so rewarding. For many people their first fish was often a Perch, mine was, fantastic fish and a great clip.
Some amazing looking Perch in this video 👍🤯
Great video
Very nice again Alfie, shows what an all round angler you are. Really hope there is more to come. Don't worry about the knockers, most anglers would love a sponsor so they could fish more. Great video and editing nothing like a big Perch mate.
Well done lad. Awesome!
Great work really good
Great video!
Nice video, would of liked to have seen your set up for the float though.
Brilliant fishing that Tommy. You've found a real venue there. Got something similar near us in Lancashire but fish run to about 2lbs. Good head of roach too. Real fishing on real venue. Having to work for the catch is great fun. Keep it up, great video.
Good video really enjoyed it 👍
Fair Play to you mate. Brilliant job 👍
Nice video mate 👍🏻
Keep up the good work .
I caught a 4.5 lb Perch at Berkhamstead on the Grand Union canal 🐟👍🏻
That's a great fish.
Awesome mate,
Excellent video. Those are so similar to the yellow perch in North America, but they get so much bigger.
I've watched this video so many times
I'm in aw of the beasts.
Some angler mush
WOW!!!!Fantastic record you have young man.I am off to the Chelmer/Blackwater Canal tomorrow morning armed with prawns to try and smash my personal best of about 1lb back in the early seventies!!!
Well done Alfie cracking fish well worth all that effort
Quality video!
Awesome short film Alfie, I'd like to see some of the carp fishing you have been up to aswell 😁
I'm sure many would! Probably 'under the radar' carping 😂
Lovely vid mate .a true angler all your weights are true .you should come an fish south hanningfield res very large perch in there .all the best
Big up Alfie!!!!! Kipper that!!!!
Great video with some stonking stripeys. I really would just love a fish of 2 pounds or more, these ones you have caught are stunning, looks like you've really put the work in too. Well done and tight lines!...
Cracking stripeys some dream fish there good for you enjoyed watching all the best 👍
Lovely fish👍
I love when a fisherman get obsessed about one fish in particular ...
Thousands of fish out there , and just you get hooked by one !!!
This lad is like the Terry Hearns of Perch fishing ‼️💯🤘👏👏👏
Excellent vid Alfie, the big ones really are very fine looking predators. The biggest ‘Redfin’ ive seen caught in oz were taken by a bloke using live minnow under a float. Cheers.
Now those are beauties, proper Perch I need to catch one's like these. Has to be the rivers and canals.
amazing video I love fishing the same venues for predators on artificial baits keep up the good work 🦈
You're lucky to have spots like this. Stunning fishes. Unfortunetly in Poland is almost impossible to catch some many perch in spots like U. Anyway congrats.
Absolutely brilliant video bud those are some really nice specimen perch there I love perch fishing with a passion but very very hard to get anything near those sizes where I am what's your preferred method of bait?
What a film this is
Reminds me of growing up fishing the river Kennet back in them days in the late 60s we had loads of big perch if you knew where to look .
Wow, memories of Ashstead pond in the 60s. Never a four though !!!!!!!
What a cracking little video for several reasons ,a big perch is a stunning looking fish, the location urban canals and rivers, not some tucked away private water so available to anybody, then there is the angler Alfie, a young chap who obviously loves fishing and not just for carp and takes you through the video explaining things as it progresses, angling needs more exposure with people like Alfie who will appeal to youngsters to encourage them to try it for themselves.
Great video. For me, this is what fishing is all about... realy nice! What rod do you use? Hope to see more videos from you...
Nice catch
wow..just wow
Do you have your own channel and they where some beautiful english river perch mate sound like you had a session of a lifetime 😎
Man, those are some BIG perch
No longer with NASH? Hope see more of your videos. I'm off to Spain Perch fishing in 5 weeks. I hope I catch some nice ones like you clearly are. You should also try some lure fishing too sometimes.
Nice!!
Now ive caught some rippers I'm hooked.
nice vid well done
Alfie, like you I got the big perch bug many years ago. What advantage do you feel bobber flats have opposed to using wagers. Also, what is your preferred bait, I have been using worms when fishing my local canal. What are your preferred baits, maggots, worms, live os dead baits? Really great video pal, be interested to see anymore you have.
Quality fish and fishing. A big perch is the biggest of fish said the great Dick Walker. Nice to see you using a perch bobber, use them myself. Were you trotting livebaits or lobs? Gonna take some lobs on a trip to the Wye next week, aiming for barbel and chub but would love a quality Wye perch or roach.
Great fish great fisherman
Your video production quality is absolutely insane. Well done. One of the best videos out there.
Cool video
Great fishing bud but what 3 baits would you use...
Very talented young man! Judging by the bobber float, was that live bait? 🤔
I would say he probably is live baiting. Maybe the reason why he never shows much about what he’s doin.
Wow! Interesting crayfish are a food source
Whats the bait? I use live bleak, got 41cm 1020g perch this summer with this kind of method, super fun
Always had my biggest on dead baits ,live minnows and lobs but fish baits are the best.
Perch fishing in you’re stone island jumper, what a lad haha
haha. i saw some old pictures of me carping in the late 80s with Pierre Cardin sweater's and Fred Perry's! Not so practical, but before Realtree made everybody look like a bunch of wankers!
What is the rod Choice? Drennan....?
Cool stuff kiddo
Whats the main bait you use for perch
Those are huge perch , are they the same species of perch we have in the U.S , they look identical , but I've never caught or seen any that big .
if im not totally wrong you guys got yellow perch there and these are redfin perch.
👍👍👍
Pukka fish great video
Can’t you lip then when handling them? Or is this the correct handling?
Should never lip them. Never ever ever
Which country r u fishing in?
Another great video Watched one lastnight about fishing in the dark with a headtorch great idea 💡 you seem a sound bloke would be ace to have a day big perch hunting with ya would be megga keep up the good informative videos or blogs whatever you call them and awesome angling skills brother
This guy reminds me of Professor Green
👌
👍🏼
What are your 3 favorite nature baits for perch?
minnow, gudgeon and roach
perch, perch and perch
CMON DRENNAN DONT LET THIS KID GO LIKE "NASH" N KICK HIM TO THE DIRT, THIS KID HAS NATURAL TALENT, look at all the other kids of his age, out pushing god knows what........love his vlogs, let the kid shine.............
p.s im no kid im 45 & i like watching the kid fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
quality
my biggest is 3lb 2oz top fight on light tackle.
What hookbait you using alf
Unlike most species you can catch specimen perch in a massive reservoir or a dew pond. As long as there's a steady supply of prey, the fish can be massive. Also, if you catch one big perch chances are there'll be more about.
I would deffo give you 4lb on that last fish pearch are awsome to catch
👍👍👍😜🏴🦄🎣😁✌️
Ps ofcourse iv subscribed lol
They just don't get that big in USA. A 2 pounder is pretty big here. A 3# comes in only rarely.
esp gonna do a clothing line with stone island huh?
Wow first comment
great film pity there wasnt just more angling
