I Threw My GoPro Into The Canal! The Footage It Captured Was Incredible! Rare sighting!
Ойын-сауық
In this video I decided to take a look at what goes on beneath the surface on the local canal. I placed a camera into likely looking spots along with some bait like corn, pellets, maggots and bread. The footage I managed to get was amazing. Some really clear shots of the fish reacting to the baited swims. We also captured every canal species known to the stretch on camera which was pretty cool. It was hard work making this video, so I hope you enjoy it!

I tried this recently on my local canal. Some fabulous images of traffic cones, shopping trolleys and a paint can which looked to be around 3lbs

When I first started lure fishing I was fishing under a motorway bridge. I caught a holdall. Whilst dragging it out it became obvious that there was something large and spherical within. My imagination took over and I was convinced there was a head in that bag. Eventually I opened it and it was a large rock and a huge pile of stolen credit cards lol.
I've been bedridden for just over 2 years I absolutely loved that video. I've not been out and seen the seasons change so this was brilliant for me thank you.

Yes I would like more underwater action. Most enjoyable to watch.
I was in Leeds city centre yesterday and in one of the small docking bays at the beginning of the Leeds Liverpool canal ( directly outside Fazenda restaurant if you want to see just how small on Google) I initially spotted thousands of fry, and then the ubiquitous shoals of small roach and a couple of perch. Then when my eyes got accustomed I immediately saw 10/12 very decent bream at the bottom all of about 3-5lbs. Then two jacks and two fingerling pike before spotting one that was easily 7lb hanging motionless just below the surface under some weed. To top it all off my son point and said 'what is that!?'. Flat on the bottom was one of the largest pike I've ever seen, I've caught them to 18lb and this was bigger, and so fat, though the reason for the girth was obvious. There was a pike tail still sticking out of its mouth. Incredible to see in such a busy place.

That was like therapy watching that. I've just spent the whole day and evening caring for my 94yr old Dad and come home totally knackered. So I watched this on full screen with sound down... very relaxing Thank You 😊
Wonderful!! I could watch this all day! 🙌🏻👍🏻

Great footage Chris as always thank you 🙏 gives everyone especially us angler’s the insight what is going on in our swims 😊
Great footage Chris. I'm one who would like to see more of this underwater videos. Cheers...😮
This episode was brilliant. I enjoy the underwater footage. Please film more of these videos.
Awesome film Chris, the fish are beautiful in the sunlight. Thanks for the effort you put in.
Great educational video Chris.. It's always nice to see and learn how is the life underwater... Cheers really enjoyed this one 🙌
Natures Aquarium. Last swim was magical, brilliant vid.
Great footage, Chris - thank you. There's so much to learn about fish behaviour! Certainly happy to see more of these. I'm probably more predator-focused but it's all top quality and pieces of the puzzle we all try to solve when we go fishing - so I'll be watching them all anyway 🤣🎣
Absolutely stunning footage those Rudd are beautiful. Look forward to more of this 😊
Your a true insperation for me really starting to get into my fishing thank you so much love the vids keep them coming lol
Love this, could watch it all day.
Thanks Chris - excellent video. I've been fishing for over 60 years and in the last few years have been watching underwater activities which have blown many of my fishing theories and beliefs quite literally out of the water.
Superb footage chris .. a great watch thankyou
Ginger, your underwater footage rocks! Good stuff interesting and relaxing. Well done!
Cracking watch and nice to see such a thriving system your very lucky to be able to fish this
Can’t wait for this🎣🎣🎣 well worth the wait!! 😎
Banger video. I just love tench so much 🥰
Underwater stuff is brilliant Chris. Well done mate.
Hiya Chris love the under water action so cool to see what lurks under the surface absolutely amazing well done great video ♥️👍
Love seeing everyone utilising an underwater camera nowadays in their videos! Love the video buddy 😊👍

I'd like to see if if groundbaiting for pike with little bits of fish actually works.

I’ve tried it and it seemed to work. Put some bits of fish in after a couple of sessions (My thinking being that if they ate the fishy bits whilst I was fishing, they may not eat my bait!) then went back and had 8 Pike out of that swim! Not exactly scientific, I know…

Pre-baiting with old deadbaits or stuff going out of date can be effective I always feeder fish whilst pike fishing, building a good swim of prey fish encourages pike into the area and they will stalk around the swim looking for a feed.

Superb footage Chris. The colours on the roach fins were unbelievable.
I love this underwater footage, always very interesting
Very interesting it would be nice to see more videos like this. Keep up the good work.

Lovely stuff great to see
Great stuff. Like to see more of this.
Thoroughly enjoyable matey. Cheers for sharing.
Be great to see the fish dealing with different baits and how they inspect or not your hook etc. Mesmerising looking at those fish - beautiful
That’s amazing… world heavy weight boxer and fisherman! So many talents!
Great underwater footage . Nice to see how fish react to bait. 😊
Great stuff pal thanks for sharing!!! Some more of this type of filming please Thanks 👍
Awesome buddy.. great underwater, cheers Chris & Sammy
Great video, really like this, fascinating to see the underwater footage and how fish react to the baits. Definitely interested in seeing more =)
Cool vid good to see diff types fish and reactions to diff baits
Fantastic film, thank you !
What gets me every time you fish the canal is how clear it is...my local canal, good visibility is about 3" and time between boats is minimal any time between April and November!
What an amazing video really enjoy watching your videos good man Chris.
That was great definitely more of that
A very interesting video just goes to show how much fisher people love our fishing It's amazing how all small just scattered when a big bream tench is in the feed spot tight lines steve
Love it !
Fantastic footage,well done, incredible how bream come in mess everything up and move on. 😊
Fantastic under water footage .Great watch
Well after watching this it’s clear to see that the Perch love a red maggot over white maggots. Most people understand the significance of red baits and Perch, but it’s always nice to see it. Thank you for the video.

Hey Ginger! Honestly, an underwater video showing what's under there and how fish react does more good for me than a fishing video! Keep up the good and I am sure hard work!
Mate! I can watch Your videos all day long. There is so much science and pleasure to wath. Best regards from Poland 🤜🤛

Very educational video. Something for everyone there.

Beautiful to watch mate. Nice one.

I really enjoy your content. I am a beginner fisherman and my daughter and I use all your tips for baiting lines and what types of rods and reels to use. And so far after 2 years i have caught 2 pan fish! Not amazing but I have you to thank.
Brilliant video.
Cracking video, very lucky with the light and clarity, looked awesome
keep them coming. they are great
Great footage X Pom watching this in Australia only wishing I was back in England love your filming keep going
I really love these kinds of videos. Its very interesting seeing all the different types of species showing up on the camera. I personally like fishing bream alot. Im only 15 years old but my pb bream is 6.43kg. The problem I have when fishing bream is keeping big groups of bream in the place Im fishing. I often use bread and sweet corn as ground bait trying to lure the fish in. And big groups of bream usually come in but they only stay for a few minutes before they go away even though I cast out new bread and corn. A specific video targetting bream with this underwater camera would be really cool. Me personally think I could learn alot of how the bream feed on the ground bait and definately catch more good bream. Thanks!
Great vid as always Chris, I was a bit shocked that the videobombing pike (behind the tench) didn’t get so much as a mention! I guess a grassie was the other species that came through a while after? Lovely to see a canal that has such clear water! Like many other posters that’s not my experience ! Tight lines mate, ever come to Amsterdam I’ll happily go after some five pound perch with you.

Yes I thought I’d imagined it as it disappeared when the tench turned a little. I was surprised that so many smaller fish didn’t seem to mind it was there unless they hadn’t seen it either!
