Well done. I know exactly how you feel. I fish chew regularly fly fishing for trout, but against all odds, on 26 October I took a 35 lb Pike whilst fly fishing and using only a 9 lb leader. Yes. It was a fluke, because it was lip hooked otherwise It wouldn’t have lasted more than a minute or two. It will be pictured in the next issue of Trout & Salmon.
Wow now that’s what a call a crocigator what a beautiful looking lady if a may say so myself well done place where dreams come true.All the very best 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏴🏴🏴
@@Nikonp-hg6yl I’m not 100% sure on how it works if I’m honest, I just apply for tickets for the pike trials when they are available.. I do believe they have a predator season ticket aimed towards the fly angler.. I’m sure there is someone out there who could offer you more help than myself, so I’m sorry I’m not much use.. However I have spoken to fly anglers who have caught and witnessed massive pike being caught from the bank👍🏼
Well done mate, fish of a lifetime. I had my pb of 33.8, twenty two years ago. The hunt for a bigger fish goes on week in week out, and the love and enjoyment never goes away. Tight lines and happy Christmas to you both. Regards John from Ireland
Very kind comment, I know the likelihood of beating this pb would take some doing.. But yes the hunger will never leave me and the passion will always be there for the not knowing.. 33.8 is a massive fish! Fish of a lifetime.. One day it might happen, you just never know.. Merry Christmas to you and may your pike dreams come true.. Tight lines 🤞🏼
Really enjoyed this video Nathan. Having fished Chew once before, the anticipation everytime the drop off falls. Your face says it all with your PB and I could see you shaking, just a pleasure to see a fish like that and I know what it feels like :)
Many many thanks Scott, glad you enjoyed the short video.. Still think about it even now.. Chew has been very kind to me to be fair, more luck than judgement, but I suppose you have as much chance as anyone else by having a bait in the water 🙏🏼
Well, it's not. Several waters in Ireland, Holland, Sweden, Germany and Austria way better than what is an artificial water, where the pike grow big on dumb stocked trout. I've had four over 30 from Chew, best 37.04. Not exactly an achievement to catch big pike there, as opposed to other waters I have fished in the EU.
What a monster!! Just stumbled across the channel. Great video work as well. All you fishermen nowadays seem to have to be cameramen as well which must take some planning and messing around just to share it with us. Many thanks for taking the time and effort to show us stunning fish like that!
Thanks for the kind comments Matt, it is a chore sometimes to do the filming and get some decent footage, don’t do it all the time as it is nice to just enjoy the fishing. The footage of this video was filmed on my iPhone as my video camera I usually use fell over and broke.. Phones are amazing these days and really good quality.. Really appreciate the positive feedback 👍🏼
It's open for anyone to fish. There were still some tickets available when we were there and that was 10 months after they went on sale so not difficult to buy.
I felt the emotions here... people who don't fish, don't understand the physical, emotional & financial investment we make in this journey ... with absolutely no guarantee of any return... but when it happens, it touches our very soul... and its what drives us on... my PB is 28lbs... & at 65y.o. I am working hard to do better ... 🥲👏

Impressive fish, I bet it was fun on the fly 👏🏼
It was exhausting, 45 minutes playing , I am 77 & just not used to big fish. I’m sticking to trout!

Best pike fishing lake in the world! The famous Chew!!
Totally.. Nowhere compares to it, doubt nowhere ever will 👍🏼🐊

First fish out beats my PB by about 5lbs... 🙂
Keep getting out there having a go, effort equals rewards.. Well hopefully 🙏🏼
Very well done to you Nathan

Cracking fish. just a quick question just wondering where u got the rod stands from they look ideal
Thanks, glad you liked the short vid..
Rod rests are 24” fox screw point 👍🏼
Cheers, tight lines 👍
Some fish m8👊
Many thanks 🙏🏼
What a magnificent creature....but tell me what are u getting the trout to take??are u using small baits?
Many thanks 🙏🏼
The British pike record was caught in this lake the other day. 47lb 5oz 😮
There’s bigger than that in there!
It's a shame you have to be royalty to fish it
You definitely don’t have to be

Well said Peter, us anglers put a lot of effort in, and when we get rewarded the feeling is very special 👍🏼 Tight lines in pursuit of a magical 30 🤞🏼🐊
