Astonishing and incredible. You are the most innovative and methodical angler on the internet Chris. A joy to watch.

That Tench was gorgeous, almost gold on its belly. Mate, you've got it nailed on, I could watch that footage over & over. Good man Chris, good man.

Who else just loves fishing an watching fish😂

As you pointed out, Tench are cautious, picky fish and not always easy to catch , therefore any and all Tench caught are a treasure to behold. Thanks for the effort you put in to the video.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I would have to disagree. I just can't understand why he uses ridiculous 3lb line and loses so many fish. Even 70lb braid would not put off those tench. I'd be more inclined to pre-bait in much larger amounts to induce the larger specimens to move in and feed very confidently.

A tench is not welcome when Iv spent a lot of time critically balancing my bait sharping my hook. Casting to my area getting it spot on first cast then a slimy tench picks it up just before it gets dark making it even harder to replicate my original cast

Totally agree, a really beautiful fish!!!

This was truly a gem to watch. Very interesting to see their behaviour under water. Tench are such underrated fish, because for their size they put on a hell of a fight. More of this please, we appreciate your dedication!

Excellent work Chris. These underwater films are fascinating 👍🏼

What an amazing bit of educational footage. Absolutely love it. Thank you so much.

Chris i be honest watching your channel is by far the best in my opinion for Coarse fishing on youtube ! Well done mate

Some fantastic looking tench, great footage. The Pike swooping in absolutely defines why I like them so much.

Stunning video. Love the way you systematically worked through the issues and ended up with a couple of good tench. Pike footage was also epic. Brilliant stuff. Thanks for sharing.

From a very young angler years ago I was always told by other fisherman that tench are one of the hardest fish to catch. Even them saying that carp are easier than tench to tempt to the hook. I love the green machines. Even if I pick one up on a carp rig at range there welcome 😊

100% agree with one of the other comments, you deserve your own tv program. A million times better than any fishing tv program I’ve ever watched over past 30 years. If a tv channel took a chance on you they would make a fortune. Lee from obsession with angling is amazing too. Would be a dream to have a days fishing with either of you

The pike behaviour was fascinating. It explains why so many of the jacks I have on small creature baits are hooked on the very point of their “nose”. Thanks Chris.

Amazing underwater filming, excellent. Fascinating to see how many fish are drawn in to the swim by the groundbait.

Absolutely beautiful, beautiful piece of film making. You have totally revolutionised fishing videos....amazing brother!!!!

Tench are simply put the best looking fish there is. and that pesky pike had me in bits haha

Brilliant insight to our quarry, interesting to see pike feeding in a way we never thought and tench being tench

Now that was brilliant, thankyou! Keep em coming mate, never seen canal videos like this before.

Best footage yet! It's great when a plan comes together. I was nearly as excited as you when I watched that tench go in the net.

Amazing footage Chris thanks so much for persevering they are such beautiful fish to catch. Another awesome video for the master 👍🏻

Best fishing content on YT...best fishing content ever! Thanks

Incredible fish! Lovely advice and cant wait to try and catch some tench on the canal near me

I just wanted to say a big thank you for your amazing video of catching that beautiful tench in the canal! Your perseverance and the stunning underwater footage made it such an enjoyable watch. Keep up the great work! Best regards, William

Absolutely amazing footage from an incredible angler. Well done and YES we really appreciate and enjoy all your skill and perseverance. 👍👍

A real insight into the behaviour of tench and how this understanding can contribute to an improved catch rate. A quality video that certainly takes a fishing video to another level. So bored watching videos which focus on rigs, bait and hook a duck commercials!!! A+

Said it before and i'll say it again. You create the best content of any fisherman i watch. love your video's.

Wonderful footage: I love tench. They are so beautiful and very shy. I really do not like carps. Even in my little pond the golden tench I have for years and feed regularly are hard to watch as they escape in under the vegetation when something is scaring them. I never ate a tench despite the fact that I tried to cook nearly every species of fish I caught at least once to try how they taste. I was amazed more than once that quite big pikes are sometimes eating tiny worms. A friend caught a big one on a hook size 12 with a tiny worm on it: He was actually trying to catch bait. The hooked pike raced across the big pond straight into the net! The net got completely destroyed but we caught the fish. This season tenches get ready to have their mating dances in flooded grass. They are really fat now. During their mating after sunset you can sometimes touch them with bare hands. That is the moment they loose all their shyness. It is wonderful to watch. They got so rare where I live. It is a pity. When I was younger we often went to rescue tenches and many other kind of fish that got trapped in side pools after they were drying out in autumn and early winter. Sometimes I hammered tenches out of the ice. There was no water left in the ponds, but when you massaged them they got back alive.

I liked the beauty of the underwater aquascape. The truly haunting glimpse into another world that one so rarely sees. Cool collected and tranquil. And I like your ginger beard too

Your films are brilliant thanks, superb footage, editing and presenting. Great work.

Another great video Chris! I get so nostalgic watching your stuff having moved out of the UK. It keeps me sane though!

Excellent video. Thanks for posting!

Amazing how clear that water is. Even in Winter my local canal is about as clear as soup.

After seeing Korda's underwater videos I got really hooked on underwater videos to better understand the behaviour of different species and ages of fish. Amazing insight as an amateur angler. Now I can help my beginner buddy catch some picky-eaters fish at our lake since he's been struggling on the float. I will definitely tell him to mount his lead a bit further up and tie a push-stop/hair rig for corn. I hope he can finally land some more fish consistently aside from the odd prussian carp orgy days we sometimes get.

Brilliant footage thanks Chris , fascinating as I only fish canals

Love this video for all kinds of reasons, but that pike in slow motion was amazing.

Brilliant work, thank you for spending the time to show us how to get out there and just paint. Your work is just brilliant 👏

very nicely filmed and fished. We can learn and benefit from this a lot. well done . gr fom belgie

Superb filming and I learnt so much. thanks.

Appreciate your vid and thanks from Korea. I was intrigued to see that you also use a float to fish a carp; we rig it such that once carp takes the bait, the float slowly rises above the water. At night time, we attach a small light at the tip of the float and when the light rises majestically above the water, 30cm to 1 meter plus depending on the length of the float, the sight is breathtaking. You than have a decision to make whether the catch the carp or enjoy the risen float as long as possible until the fish spits out the hook. The purpose of the rig is not to catch as many carp as possible, but to enjoy the float rise with a satisfaction that you have rigged the float with perfection. The trick is to use as thin line as possible, a light hook, small light baits, perfect balance between the sink and the float and patience!

Excellent work!!! Great footage, really fascinating to see this behavior from the Pike and Tench!!

Brilliant video Chris. Your time and effort paid off for some amazing footage. Always top drawer. 👏👏👏

This is brilliant footage….fascinating. Thanks

Jacks can be a nightmare when I target big Perch in the winter months on the River Severn, with lobworms. On one session last winter, I caught the same pike 3 times on a lobworm!

This looked like a really beautiful place to fish. I liked this video, there was some really nice footage, in relatively clear water. Nice to see the different fish, especially the pike and tench... 😎👍🏻

Great viewing Chris amazing how the fish feed around your bait

Great video will definitely influence my tactics for tench this summer

Amazing footage Chris, super quality

Just fantastic to see what you have done to understand the habbits under water, thanks!

The clarity was surprising and was more like an aquarium than a river, very enjoyable video.

From a match fishermen, that was pretty impressive. When you had tight line to the float the tench were spooked, laying on a couple of foot was incredible. laying on for me is a couple of inches so ill try this. Brilliant.

Having just started Tench fishing, after decades of carping, I'm amazed at how difficult they are to catch. I've spent hour after hour watching the fizzing around my float and striking into nothing when it lifts. Very interesting to see the underwater behaviour 🤔

Amazing video. Some amazing underwater shots

Great video man! It must have been at least 30 years since i've fished like this. So many good memories. It is how my fishing adventure started. Tench was my favorite fish to catch.

Good to watch...i guessed pike hits before i started watching the video....pike love a big wriggly worm....so many times people course fishing with them are getting hits off pike - its not even slightly rare. If they're about and your're fishing worms you can expect 'em!

Amazing how when a pike is obviously on the feed the roach don't seem bothered. Is it they know it only wants the worms, or because there are so many of them that the odds of being attacked are relevantly low? Brilliant footage as usual.
