Thanks for the kind words buddy. Sound like you have some fantastic fishing there

Two fantastic fish there Chris, that first take was ridiculous 😂😂 Looks like you’ve found a little gem of a pool there 👌

Wow, that pike charging at your feet lol. It always amazes me that pike have got amazing eyesight and are sight hunters, yet they don't see the trebles, wire trace, giant float or a human standing in the water lol. It's that time of year that I should be dusting my pike gear off, thanks for the inspiration and another great vid. Get well soon, there's some really nasty stuff about in the UK at the moment, I had a head cold recently where my sinuses were screwed and it made me talk like a dalek as well as having what I would describe as apricot yogurt coming from my sinuses everytime I blew my nose. Horrible.

Please continue to show you unhooking fish. I think showing it in your videos helps people learn how to unhook them easier. Keep it up!!

That first snatch 👌Had a one do exactly the same to me about 25 years ago, clattered into my legs & snatched the bait as it hit the surface 3ft in front of me. Wicked mate.

That’s was one of the most insane takes I’ve ever seen 😂👌🏻

That was Freaking awesome that pike charging the bait. Dang, almost made me jump lol.

Hello... all best from Poland:) GOD BLESS GOODNESS!

Hi my friend! I am enjoy fighting too! Your video the best!

That pike was crazy! He really wanted that bait you had, shocked that it went back for it. Really great catch.

Absolutely fantastic

Awesome pike mate well done great vid !!!

I always enjoy your videos & tend to learn alot watching them. Thanks for your in depth description about tackle, tricks & techniques. Kracken pike too, well done.Get well soon & cheers!🤘🍀🎣

That was an absolute cracking first take just at your feet all was the same haha

That first take was amazing never would I believe it if I heard that down the local

Well done 👏 mate brilliant

OMG, no coment, another stunning video you done again a great job WOW...

Love these quick and simple videos! You are definitely the fish charmer lol

Pike thrive on neglect, well done on catching them from the forgotten ponds. Great effort.

Wow! Chris, at 3:16 frightened the life out of me, that one did. To have such a big Pike come In like that, Is awesome. The First one was not one of the ones You caught Your first visit to the Pool. So there are some really big ones In there yet to Discover. Come back In a Months time. for a full day, with a Big Keep net, And just see how many more are In there. Must be loads of Jacks they are Feeding on as well. Great Vid keep 'em coming.

What a pike

Absolutely brilliant stuff! I could imagine taking a certain stick out of the swim though 😉

I think you, me and prob a heap of others knew those fish were there from when you fished there before. But cracking Angling to go back and land two very respectable Pike. That throat thing is doing the rounds btw. Tight lines Sir.

Cracking little session that 2 nice doubles mate well done

Awesome little spot there mate, well done great sport 👍🏻🎥🎣

Love the videos Chris. Many thanks.

Very nice pike.

Nice video Chris

Great stuff 👏 🍺🇮🇪

Man, what would be the ultimate blast for me on that pond would be to use tip-ups in a few months. I don't know how cold it gets there, but if you did you'd probably find out how big they get. That's a very cool, sweet forgotten pond.

That pike nearli nailed u grate fish

Mint video!

Un verdadero espectáculo 🤙🏻enhorabuena por las capturas y como digo yo captura y suelta , un gran saludo amigo pescador 😉👍

These pike would make a great substitute for the turkey we always have at Xmas

Superb bit of fishing

BEASTS !!! Bravo 👏

Well done Chris. Two cracking double figure fish there. And there is something awesome about that first Pike rushing that deadbait at your feet Absolutely mental! That's why you should always take time when retrieving your deadbait, because you never know what might be following it...☺And the second fish was a beauty. There's nothing like a big double figure Pike when it's huge head and that toothy mouth rise up at the landing net. It's why we Pike fish.☺ Great hook removal and excellent fish handling.☺ I bet you can't wait to get back on that pond and see if there's a 20 pounder willing to snaffle one of your deadbaits... P.s. I spotted the sore throat sweet cutaway at the end. Wanting a sponsorship from Halls, mate?😁 lol

Incredible!

Another cracking video chris. I wondered what part of the country you fish or do you move around ? I have only just subscribed, and no doubt you have already explained all this to your followers. Also mate, are the waters club or permit. Either way it’s top viewing. I loved the kids rod post 🤣👏 I sent it to my pals. It’s a good job you’re not sponsored by the likes of Abu Garcia 😂😂 keep posting chris, thanks 🙏

Excellent video 👌

holy fishing!!! i thought that first pike was an alligator coming for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO WAY did you seriously just nab that at your feet absolutely amazing man

Two lovely fish, but the video does illustrate one of the downsides of fishing with more than one rod. Always that fear of getting a second fish while dealing with another and then maybe having to contend with a one that is very deeply hooked.

Nice pikes. Please use one treble hook. It makes the unhooking much easier and it is a lot safer for the fish. The hooking ratio is still 99%. Greetings from the Netherlands

Totally agree, they should be banned. Not a nice site when it swallowed it into the gut and potentially it could of been cut off and left in there for the fish to die.

idk how you that so many big fish and some crazy takes good job geeting some footage

Gingerrrrrrrr !!! Nice fish though

The probs with all those forgotten ponds is that there’s little in the way of bait fish now a days so it will only maintain the big pike to around mid doubles with a few exceptions and they all have big heads and slim bodies. Nice fish tho but imagine if there was a healthy stock of skimmers and roach etc In those lakes, they would be big ass fish !
