As an American I love watching your videos to see all the interesting species you fish. Only fish we seem to have in common are perch and pike. But our perch generally don't get anywhere as big as the ones you get! Your vids are so fun and relaxing to enjoy.

Great production, love the float shots, music suited too. The Ginger John Wilson, well done Chris.

100%. The fish care, reading the patterns for the fish, the presentation, music and himself give off a John Wilson vibe. We have TV companies burning money up the spout on trash shows when we could have low cost wholesome fishing shows presented by a few of the YT streamers. Fishing with Carl is another great channel. Stephen Hendry is doing better YT content than the BBC or ITV and trying to give the snooker players a personallity we don't normally get to see. Hendry, like Chris, is a top bloke.

30 yrs ago...youd have had your own TV series, I swear it.the Internet killed all that,such a shame. You've got some talent lad,I give you that.keep it up young fella.

Perch belly's are full of spawn at this time of year. They lay nets of eggs over structure underwater. Amazing to see.

All beautifully filmed capturing the atmosphere of the early morning bye the river/canal . The mist on the water and the wildlife that you can encounter and some really nice fish. Loved it.

Canal fishing always throws surprises! 🔥 Great fishing Chris! 🎣

Chris, I think you should go back and show Tom and Sean how easy it is to fish a canal. I could be wrong, but Tom needs some tuition, as he still hasn't caught from his garden peg. great vid.

Feels strange watching you float fish!

Beautiful start to the video with the bird songs, spring is awesome. Some good information for us all to take to the banks with us. Yet again another great video, Chris.

I think Ginger is the grandson of the great Rex Hunt

Absolutely love Tench, next to Barbel they are my favourite species. Great to see it's not just me these days fishing 'old school' with the float. Lily pads, bubbles, those powerful runs - What's not to like?

The way the float went for the perch was a float angler's dream.

I'm normally a predator fisherman,but I have to say this vid was stunning, cinematography spot on,loved it 👌

My dreams come true ginger tench on the canal tinca tinca thanks chris 😊

You are very good at this KZread stuff gingerman 👊

Thank you Chris. Lovely work.

Fooking hell, you could have gone bowling with that perch! 😂 Great video as always gingy! Some really lovely camera work in this one

I do hope that was filmed on the snagbro 's pros only canal stretch!?

Another great session Chris and footage well captured. Some cracking canal specimens there. Thank you

Is that snagged bro's garden peg 😂😅

Hi GF, high time you come to Australia to give you a chance to exercise your undoubted catching skills to land: freshwater Murray Cod weighing anything up to 40 pound, carp measuring 75 centimetres plus, which are genuinely carnivorous and will take a fly. We have any number of your admirers who as fishing experts and fishing video producers would love to show you a few challenges!

Well done Chris! First Tinca of the season covered in red spawning spots. I'm sure you'll be into a few more as the weather improves. Great to see you simple float fish too. 👍🎣

Lovely chilling watch Chris.some nice fish too.

Cracking video Chris and some great catches there 🎣 caught a good size Carp last week picked it up and it weighed nothing, spawning.

Those Yorkshire canals are head & shoulders above the one near me in Northants. Seldom see fish of this size reported.

chris....❤ your vids the last few months .... So much i have got myself a lure/spin travel rod n real ect.....just enough to fit behind drivers seat ( only room a bloke is given when going on holl 😂 ) and will be fishing the river tay in 2 weeks time with a wee dram in-between 👌👍

Great job buddy 🎣🐟👍🏻you caught a perch puffer fish 🎣🐟amazing video as always 👍🏻someone please give this man he’s own tv program🎣🐟👍🏻

Mad, I rarely watch KZread and do all my watching in big bursts, you’ve grown by 80k subs! And the content is better than ever! Awesome work Chris!

Very beautiful this video 👀🧠🎣👀🧠👏

Always good to see your vids Chris

The tench are well on the feed in ireland already due to such a mild winter. Usually we have to wait till late May before we start bagging up. Different story trying to catch a tench in cold water. Never doubt your ability .

Love their teddy bear eyes and paintbrush tail as my grandad used to say!

When I fished canals as a boy in the Midlands the water was never clear like the fantastic canal you fish - I’m in Sweden now and guess what- the canals here are muddy! I’m so jealous🙂

On a Monday what a pleasant surprise!

You're Killin' It

Never get bored of watching your videos best fisherman on KZread love your vids mate!❤

I enjoyed this video thanks mate. Love seeing Tench.

Brilliant video as usual Chris!!

That is a gangsta tench.

Great video wish the canals where like this in Scotland.

Great episode 😊

Could the perch be full of spawn making it so big? It is the spawning season (close season on rivers) for a reason.

Looked really old, that first tinca, dude. Lovely video, as per! Pete 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The new Jack Hargreaves. Your content could expand to include fishing and other country activities.

I am so jealous mate. Ive got another week or so till I can get out to fish. Then itll be Monster Carp and Channel Cats. I cant wait.. Im living vicariously through you right now. Nice catches you got there. Cheers.

Them muntjack are getting about

loved the video i think canal and river fishing is slowy a dieing art now because of commercial fisheries

awsome video Chris. nice fish for canal🎣

Absolute class as usual chris,think that perch was a hybrid,crossed with a puffer fish lol

What a crackin day Chris - great fun to watch! I think that perch was about to spawn and the tench had just been spawning too - all the red marks and skinny mid section.

Three nice fish...man that was one gravid pumpkin of a perch...

Wow a tench on the canal. Unbelievable. What a beast the perch was. Whereabouts are you fishing on the canal? Looks really nice

Great vid as always 😊

Cracking fish , keep em coming mate 👍

Another enjoyable video, the best bits were the closeups of your float and watching the bites. I still can not get used to being able to fish cannals and lakes in what would have historically been the closed season. That gravid perch was a classic example of why you shouldn't fish then.

Some lovely healthy looking fish that bream looked like it has been on steroids 👌🎣as always awesome angling brother 😎 🎣👍👌🍻🐐♥

Great content again

I’ve never done canal or river fishing but you make me want to have ago bro great session happy fishing bro 👊

8:30 I get told that a fair bit also 🤣🤣🤣

Got to love a tench chris I fish a canal most of the time in sommerset and the place is full of them they go to 7 or 8lb and they are great sport on the feeder rod 🎣👊💯

Well done mate. Decent seseion

wish there were canals in my area, right now im just stuck to my local pond. love the videos though theyre amazing! just wish they were longer haha

legend

Nice work Shrek

Who wants merch cause I’d buy it ??

Love this video

Homer Simson perch 😅

Excellent video, music reminds me of Jack Hargreaves " Out of town" maybe a video on the theme of Turk's pond

Great times early bird catches the worm

Used to catch tench in the gravel pits at st Ives cambs also just south of the lock under the bypass holds some good bream and Chubb

I caught my first tench ever yesterday, only my first one because I don't target them and where I usually fish doesn't hold them

Very nice

Great fishing mate! Just wondering when I should start targeting perch on microjigs in my local canal?

I’ve caught a few Ninch,they’re just a bit smaller than a Tench…cheers !

Tie a string to that perch and you have a balloon 🎈🐟

i have seen a lot of people fishing canals rivers this time of year did they do away with the off season? or are these exempt? i know its spawning season but not had the weather but hopefully that perch is full of spawn

Chris, was that tench healthy? That red rash looked a bit like Spring viremia, although i think that disease was eradicated from the UK some time ago. I remember seeing pics of it in the Angling press (in carp, but it affects all Cyprinids). There was a red rash just like that. Or maybe it's the fish's natural colour?

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your vids, one question I have to ask though is....HOW are you fishing a river/canal on off season??? Every water I want to fish is a no go unless it is a lake/pond and I have to pay for it!!!

@jerleshannara4607

BTW I'm in my early 50s and have been fishing since before I was in my teens!! And still not allowed to fish on rivers/canals without getting done by authorities!!!!

I've fished canals around me (Warwickshire, Worcestershire) for about 4 years. I've caught 2 small pike and a reasonable zander. That's it. I've fished for carp and tench in canals millions of times. No luck. The canals near me are always the colour of hot chocolate and there's so much boat traffic. I use the same methods on the river and I'm usually successful. So Chris and other professionals, is it me, or are the canals near me just absolute poop?

Every fish looks like a carp almost except the trout u catch

😊😊

Hi ginger fisherman, is it only rivers that closed during spawning season

Wah besar sekali ikan nya mantap

if some people were more careful when landing there fish the fins would not get damaged as a number of fish in this video , great vid though ,keep em comeing.
