Good man get on the bank.. take some maggots to drown for the kids on a float rod. Just incase u blank... We do all the time but there's always greedy perch or 2 about.

Massive shout out to Shaun, top man!! Chris is back with a banging video, we love surface fishing, it's always exciting. Keep the great content coming! 🎣💥💥💥

I don't know why your channel wasn't doing well. I really enjoy it especially when you're fishing small rivers. I don't get too much fishing in these days as my legs are failing and body shop does nothing in my size so your videos take me to the water's edge. Thanks

Perhaps the best fishing channel on KZread, i watch these as soon as they are uploaded. Keep plugging away my friend.

No perhaps about it. Chris is really accomplishing something important here.

Fair play to you. This has to be one of the most entertaining fishing channels ever. I could imagine this being a hit series during the golden days of TV, back in the past. Completely original, and you never seem to run out of new ideas. Brilliant stuff!

Every time I watch this channel ,I end up spinning out and about ,keep up the good work ,I introduced two anglers to pike spinning now it's all they do I've created two monsters 😳

It just goes to show that there some nice genuine people out there well done Shaun.

Great vid - looking forward to the river season!

Epic Video as always and Shaun you’re a legend!!

I’ve been watching your videos for 6 years now and they never get old

looked like brilliant fun again there Chris , lovely little river, thank you

Absolutely love the content. Nicest fisherman on youtube😊 Tight lines👌

Brilliant that buddy, again proving changing the presentation makes the fish more curious, good to hear there is still good people in this world that was absolute class to help you out with that equipment, agin cracking show , cracking fish and a escape for thirteen minutes bliss ❤️❤️

Another good shop for the bookmarks. Thanks Shaun and Chris

Good on ye....all that marvellous diversity of green growing things along that canal...great habitats for wild things...

So cool that you can bike along a gorgeous trail landing pike !

i grew up watching ur videos with Sam at hallcroft and grove seeing how far u have some really does make me happy and keeps me wanting to fish more. Keep it up mate.

Love the videos Chris. Thanks

Fantastic as always

Great content Chris glad u got new equipment would be at a loss without ure channel great fishing on the top water 🇮🇪🇮🇪👍

I love your videos and I love fishing

Love top water fishing.. nice 1 chris👌

Awesome video! I really enjoyed it!

Your films are so good and clear. When I up load mine they go all grainy! Great fishing there too!

You're very welcome buddy and thanks for the lovely words ❤️

Wow, I wish the canals in the south east were that clear. I subscribed really early a few years ago now. It’s been a great honour to see you grow. Here’s to another 100k. 👊

Yeah well done Shaun for re kitting Chris with go pro and memory cards etc

Another great video.. Thank you. 🐟

Good job Chris you killing it, fishing is good videos are good, keep at it. You gonna make it big trust me

that first hook up was madddd. love it

Supercool shots. Never underestimate the hunger of a pike. I caught a lot of 60-70cm pike with 40-50 cm eels inside their mouth. They are insane and i love em. Love from austria buddy

Great stuff chris i have been using the Savage Gear snake since it was released there awesome lures not many people know the lure has 2 connecting points one for surface fishing the other makes it swim just below the surface it's deadly nice video chris thanks for posting it,

Great content definitley worth a sub keep up the great work Chris

Nice one 👍😊

Wicked content bro just subbed and hit the notification bell!😊 Seen a few of your vids already just what I luv smashing some pike regardless of the size!👍

You get some amazing footage. You’re a talented guy. How is that canal so clear ! I guess there’s no boat traffic

Well done Sean!

Startef watchin you a few months ago bro an im hooked pardon the pun..love the vids

I totally agree with you about the hard baits with the exception of the whopper plopper. my hook-up ratio has been good even with smaller pike. Also great video! I was interested in getting one of those snakes but I think I'll pass now.

Really enjoyed the video and great to hear that you managed to replace your stuff 👍

your footage & videos are awesome. Subscribed ! Keep up the good work pal.

Hi 👋 This is my first time watching your channel and I like your non pretentious style.. fun session chasing pike with the snake 🐍 lure .. I never imagined you could use this type of lure .. I have hit your bell 🛎.. and now I have a stack of your content to watch back .. thank you for sharing 👍

Awesome mate thanks 😊

Angling community are full of super guys, keep up the vids mate and when I need some pike tackle for my day out on Rudyard I'll defo check out your guys shop!

Thank you Shaun

Yet another very watchable fishing video even the long shots of the canal looked stunning, one thing I noticed was the shot of the malard ducks, they only had one chick, which leads me to suggest a surface duckling lure of sorts may be as deadly, thanks again for such an enjoyable video.

Strange one Chris, snake for bait.surprising what pike will take . Great video as usual 👍

Was interested re your comments about striking when using a hard lure. Never thought about it before but makes sense. Thanks another great video .. Dave B, Chichester West Sussex

Another great video thank you for sharing and sorry to hear you lost some of youre gear

I saw a Pike take a Grass Snake on a local canal - a chance in a lifetime (or two!). One swirl on the surface, another subsurface and the sanke had gone. The snake and the Pike were of not disimilar lengths and the efficiency of the Pikes actions suggested experience and specialised feeding in a place where both species exist.

Nice vid mate 🤙

great fishing, thanks for sharing..

Brill stuff Chris kind regards Mr D

Thanks shaun for the gear!! 🤘👌

Top water fishing is just awesome 😊 Your videos are really good, thx for all the work. Cool channel, I'm hooked. Petri Heil from good old Germany 👍

Nice vid👍🏻

Great video Shaun , Not been a lover of treble hooks I just use single hooks ,seen so many with torn mouths and treble hooks down there throat

Great video Chris... May fave type of fishing, topwater blow-ups are epic! I have noticed that once a Pike hits a topwater and missed it rarely has another go, whereas Perch will hit it again till they get iry (more competitive?). But great vid, and inspiring me to run out after work at 7 for a couple of hours :)

I think it's a bit of a competition thing with perch as they usually hunt in packs

Shaun coming in clutch. Just dropped a few £££ and got some extra lures from the site, just in time for the little one's birthday 😁

love me some top water action I even wrote an article about it which featured in pike predator magazine back in the days of print lol I have used the snake successfully a couple of occasions think my favourites are the fruck and also the spro bbz rat the fruck for getting right on top of the weeds and tempting them out and for whatever reason the bbz rat seems to switch them on when other lures get nowt more than just a follow could be the rattle in them anyway top vid mate

Top man x

Hi mate can you do more bream and tench fishing like you did a couple videos ago one of the best fishing vids I’ve watched

Sean's a good mate :-)

👌🏼

They sure are in there and willing. I'd like to see a much larger snake lure. If they take rats and mice, well maybe the bigger ones would smash it. Nice job again, such nice photography.

I find that for top-water lures one should simply retrieve the lure until you feel the resistance of a bite, and not deciding when to set the hook by merely watching the splash on the surface. When fishing for shakehead I got so mad that I wasnt getting any proper hook set but tons of bites, that at some point I just continued the retrieve, which proved to be the way to actually catch them.

👍👍👍👍

Hi Mate, i love your videos. Great job! I do use savage gear lures on sea and fresh water and must say that they never let me down. Did you know that pike can eat fish 2/3 of their own length? Also pike can grow up to 60cm in one year from they hatch if they have enough of food 😃 Tight lines mate!

I love your videos man. I love how careful you handle the fish and the quality of your content✌️

Are you serious I think its total neglect hence my comment a treble barbed hook near the eye and nothing to disinfect it just launch the fish back to get disinfected yeah good shout fella...I would never treat any freshwater fish like that no matter what species...and yes I'm a carp angler but go for pike in the winter

Love your clips need to get down my canal before we have a match and remove some of those big pike there killing us

Lovely stuff. Have you ever thought of putting a polarised lense in front of the gopro so we can see what you see when you're wearing your polarised glasses?

I don't know about that mate but, muskie will go after a hard bait here mate. Always remember that a bad day fishing is always better than a good day at work.

Pikes can eat anything !!!

Please do a catch n cook pike. They are really good

Puts your faith back in human nature when someone does you a favour like that mate💪🏻 Good shout out👍🏻

No surprise, Pikes have a "snapping reflex" you can pull banana peel infront of it and it would bite down on it.

Bro don't pull so quickly! You are pulling the bait out of their mouths! Let them bite and take it down and you will not be missing them like that! 👍 good video quality 👍

Deserved channel for doing well , boss videos

Chris - are you still crushing the barbs on the hooks ?. using whisker barbs now.

A common mistake top water fishing that you did too is set the hook way to early wait on the fish to load up on the bait

Nice video, as usual. May I ask you? Do you plan your fishing days based on the weather, or you just go? Because I cannot go whenever I want, so I always try to go with low pressure and overcast, but I've caught three pikes in two years…

Go early morning and evenings for the best action. Buy a couple of decent crank lures 5-6cm and your should catch 2-3 a session no problems. If you aren't catching it's more maybe your technique. Give it a few winds a bit of a jerk then pause... then the pike should smash it. 12 in a 2/3 hour session is my best so far.

Thank you everyone for you replies. I wonder if it can be because I go fishing in city canals? I don't have a car, so I have to go and fish in the canals in the city centre. Could it make a difference?

@@giorgiotatananni9652 I'm my opinion could boat traffic people etc.. but if you go early / late you don't get that as much. Canals can great venues. What size lures? And are you using a large reel maybe? Ps my area of predator fishing is hard crank jerkbaits and such

That snake lure is out of it. Wouldn't be much use in NZ though as there aren't any snakes here.

What is that net? Looks nice.

Hi Chris, have you thought of setting up a patreon site

What polarised glasses do you wear.

The canals near me must be crap. Can anyone suggest some good canals to try in the Midlands please?

I am planing to buy some sunglasses, which one you use in this video? Thanks

Have you tried soft plastic snakes pike love those

Any sort of lure works, if there's a wake the pike will be interested.

Match the hatch.. been wondering if it's possible to immitate carp roe

What Rod and reel setup do you use ?

Sad that my local lake only allows spinning and lures in Winter

Which shoppe did you find that lure.

What camera do you use for recording that fishing?

Have you any tips for fishing frogs? I’ve bent my hooks out a bit and tried waiting a couple seconds before striking but missed about 10 blowups in the last week. So frustrating. Thinking maybe my rod isn’t stiff enough? been using 8-20g rod but it’s quite stiff. Drags tightened right up using .30 mm braid and a .80mm fluro trace.

@time4videos

Yea, a bit stronger rod wouldnt be a bad idea, also bend the hooks on your frog a bit outward from the frogs body. They are probably lined up right against the body, so just bend them 1mm out. It will still be quite weedless unless you are casting into really really grassy stuff and the hook up ratio will be quite better.

@mikeharrison8246

My hook up rate with frogs is horrendous - must be less than 5%! I’ve tried everything, bending the hooks out, delaying the strike, striking really hard straightaway ……you name it. Only top water lure that has reasonable hook up rate is the Whopper Plopper - and that’s still only 50%. But top water is far more exhilarating than any other form of fishing. And so addictive.

what is the reel you are using ??

Hello mate what part of the uk canal u fishing??

So when can I do pike fishing on canal

I know that full size snakeheads will eat poisonous snakes while they were swimming, out in Florida.

Can someone Name his rod-reel-line combo ?
