Just want to say a huge thanks Alfie for the content you put out. I left the army after serving 16 years just before covid and I really struggled to adjust to civvy life. I understand that you have had battles of your own and after watching 1 of your videos were you talk about mental health, it really inspired me to get a grip of myself and take back control. So once again I'd like to say a huge thanks to you Alfie for unknowingly helping to grab life by the nuts. Cheers mate

Fantastic film. The release shot at the end is simply mind blowing!🎣🎣

Now then lad. KZread videos & all. Them are proper sergeants. 58yr olde here. Got to love the major's. Respect. They don't come too often

Hope nobody’s recognised the swim as that’ll be the end of that fish ,, great video again and congratulations again on another fish of a lifetime 👍

A creature of dreams !! Awesome video Alfie and to all involved 👏👏👏

Wow!!!! That's a beast of a perch Alfie a massive well done 👍💯👊🎣

What a couple of fish. Looking forward to more of your videos!

Lovely Perch on a freezing winter day. I know a pool that Is small but very deep. It has a Overhang of evergreen trees. So It never gets much sunshine coming through. Perfect for Giant Perch. I haven't been there In Years, So how big they are now, would be frightening. i hit Into something, and I couldn't pull It up, and It ended up bending the hook out. I Fished It with worms (Big Lobbies) as that Is what will be coming out of the sides of the Bank, Into the water, Also Insects. But a Bucket of Minnows would be a Killer, as all they have only seen In the past, was Roach, but they have eaten all of them by now. I don't have a car anymore, and You need one to get there. Thanks for sharing.

Nice Perch, look at the vibrant colours!

Top angling fella two incredible perch

Love these short clips. Can’t wait for more 📸 🎣 🔥

What a stunning fish and what a stunning bit of angling. Awesome job

What a specimen. Well done. Congratulations 👏

Beautiful Alfie. Top man.

Fair play Alfie! Perch of that size are as good as it gets. Top effort in the cold weather, my lake froze overnight and is finally now starting to clear after almost a month. Great vid!

Sick video Alfie lad Love your perch fishing videos just wish they were an hour longer lol 😆

What an incredible capture a true specimen a 5lb perch is mind blowing 😮 that fish must be so old they grow so slow, credit to Alfie what a moment that’s must of been. The width of it in the water on the realise is ridiculous.

Nice perch alfie come to Holland we have 8 pounders here 👌🏻👌🏻

Awesome stuff Alfie - Keep um coming! 🍺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Brilliant fishing Alfie! 🔥

You've caught 2 fish in within a couple of weeks that most people won't catch in a lifetime!! I mostly pike fish but I think you might just have persuaded me to try for perch.

Fantastic Alfie. I had three over a Pound in 5 minutes the other day off the back of watching this video, including my PB Perch of 1lb 14oz (close to the magic number but can’t cheat myself). I wouldn’t have gone if it wasn’t for this video! So I really do have to say thanks for the inspiration brother. Nice one!

Fingers crossed that myself and my son catch a specimen before the spring arrives. Hopefully we can see more of you and your specimen angling. Look forward to seeing further episodes.

I heard it rarely snows in the UK I live in SE Michigan near Canada and there’s usually 4 inches of snow on the ground. It’s been a very non-snowy year but for the last 2 weeks, there’s been 6 inches (15cm) of snow and temperatures around 10f (-15c) I caught some 1-2lb perch while ice fishing

Mega. Think I was spoiled as a kid: catching decent perch was fairly common so I don’t really fish for them anymore. Roach are my winter drug. Love smashing big weights out on the pole/whip. I ain’t going if it’s freezing though! Maybe I should have a go at perch: at least you can put your hands in your pockets 😝

Always said there's a huge hidden monster perch somewhere in the UK since the 80s .I've had fish to just under 5lb and saw a perch with 6 other people where I got the near 5lb we at the time all thought 9 to 10lb never seen any perch like it that was in 1993 this pond in South Sunderland was full of huge perch average was 1lb loads of 2 3 4lb and the near 5lber. unfortunately like most ponds in the northeast got ruined.

You must be an amazing perch angler I haven't stopped watching your vids since I came across them last night I know what u mean wen u say you don't like catching big perch is pods and stuff I feel the exact same because theyr not wild like canal/ river perch just a quick question what rod do you use wen your livebaiting for them lamping at night for them? Iv never seen this method of fishing but I'm guna hit the sheffield canal next week and try it with jigs and maybe live bait

Amazing fish ! Actually missed how you caught it? Was it on livebait?

Oof! Fish if a lifetime!

Cool man! Beautiful fish x2. Seeing you catching the fish, would make the video about 20 times more interesting. The narrating is a good angle, but in my opinion a bit more fishing would be nice. Congrats on your catches. Two gorgeous looking fat female Perch !! Tight lines mate.

Are you using live bait or dead bait . Livebait is by far the best method by for perch, that's what I use all the time, but it is frowned upon by some anglers and an illegal method in some waters, maybe that's why you don't mention what bait you are using !

I used live baits. But if venue permitted must catch bait on site. 😎.

Great video, good fish 🐟 👌 👍 👏 If your up for a days challenge there's some great waters all around me , south Yorkshire. If your up for it msg me mate 👍 👌

SMASHED IT!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🥳

why are you using a 2lb tc ledger rod instead of a float rod

@alfierussellangler

Жыл бұрын

. I’m using a 1.5tc drennan twin tip duo, a all round specialist rod, with the standard tip section not the light tip for power when striking into perch as there mouths are very hard and need a stiffer rod than a soft tipped float rod for setting hooks. Braid also. 😊

What a stunning fish and what a stunning bit of angling. Awesome job
