The best fishing advice I ever got was 'Elephants will eat peanuts'. Big fish got that size by eating anything and everything in thier path, so never be afraid to go small.
One of the absoutely biggest brown trout I ever caught was biting on a hook size 13 with a natural baby sized insect larvae. We used to catch greylings this way. The biggest perch I caught was eating a tiny worm on a size 14 hook! I have heard that in Sweden experienced fishermen sometimes fly fish for big river trout with artificial ants! A friend caught a nearly three feet long pike with an extremely tiny worm on a size 12 hook. It had a sparrow in the stomach!
Hi Chris. I really enjoy your videos. They are calm and peaceful, just like the fishing trips I enjoy. Lovely to see those tench. My local river is called the Yarra and it has mainly European carp which are considered a pest in Australia. However carp always put up a good fight, so they are fun to catch. Keep up the good work. Kind regards MP
I am watching this on the 15th June 2024. River fishing open day, so more to come from Chris. Three Chunks In 20 minutes. You can sit on a pool full, and never get more than one an hour, If you are lucky. Well done, Keep 'Em Coming.
Absolutely awesome! Your fishing videos have taught me a lot about different approaches to catching different species of fish in ways you wouldn't think.. I've been fishing for 45 years and I'm 49 now and as mad for it now as when I was a kid.. I love lure fishing now I'm older and love the fact your actually hunting your quarry.. my kind of fishing.. I've had good success with perch over 5lb and pike to 22lb on a wire trace and a single hook . Nothing else.. my next mission is a tench on a lure.. your number 1 fisherman on you tube.. much respect from me..❤
You gotta love Tench. To me, it's the first day of the season, the 16th, on the river. I still get the buzz and excitement now, just like when i was a kid . I Fish mid severn, not a lot of tench where i fish, but a few spots hold them in the margins. I'm typing this in the dark, waiting for dawn . No night fishing allowed here, but i won't be sleeping, that's for sure. Thanks for the vid, love it.
Nothing more beautiful than a good tinca! and to nobble 3 all on lures? You couldn't write it mate. Stonking fish and truly top bombin. It's always a good day when you put a new vid out! Pete 🏴
Great session Chris. My kind of fishing, ultralight with soft plastics. Amazing to see Tench coming to a lure. I'm going to give the Polaris a shot down here in Western Australia in our Swan River if I can get hold of some. Thanks for sharing.
Chris i love your vids you have taught me so much this years been my best year lure fishing and now heading ultra light while i teach my son how to lure fish so thank you good sir
Unbelievable Chris. That was class! Another RUclips first I'd say. And, caught on what is probably your idea too with the tungsten putty over and course hook. I remember the first video you done of that, and it blew my mind. I've been using it since. Have caught roach as small as my baby finger and 12lb pike all on the same lure and hook. Great video, and great tips for us yet to catch a tench on a lure 😅
Nice fish! We fishers tend to forget that all the fish, even "predators", eat some small worms and such when they have the opportunity. I like how natural your canals are, there.
i've become addicted to your channel... thanks for that... you have great personality and brilliant ideas for fishing.... though a few of them fish caught would have been taken home instead of release... :-P anyway subbed, - seen your videos, you are a great guy!
I think the main reason for the tench to be very hungry is the fact that they will spawn very soon. Beautiful fish indeed! Thanks for sharing this nice fishing session with us!
Another great session mate , love me some SUL/UL fishing its my favourite thing to do this time of year, Always look forward to your vids doing it, keep it up pal 👍😄
Hi I just watched a video of yours and you featured buying sardines in bulk, so followed suit and ordered 5kg arrived today and look really good quality also saved me a fair amount of money over this winter. Alan.
I'm also use those tiny lures. I called it Extra Ultralight fishing or (XUL). I'm using 2lb nano braid and 2lb leader in most of the time. My friend make those tiny jighead 0.2-0.8g and also the silicones around 1.5cm long. Me and my friend, caught a lot of interesting fish with it . Enjoyed from your video 🤝
We started using this lures in competitions for perch and what not a long while ago. Best way to fish small worms and creatures is on cheburashka rig. Start with 1gr up to 3gr tungsten beads. As for the hooks, japanese finesse hooks do work the best. This exact lure(polaris) gave me my personal record for perch at 36cm on a city river!
Brilliant vid. What canal is that? I fish the broads and upper stretches of my local rivers but sadly they just don’t hold fish in quantity or quality any more. I’ve only ever caught one roach on a lure but I one got into a shoal of feeding Rudd which happily took every worm I cast there way. That tench was magical.
We're doing this in Russia and other post soviet (CIS) countries with the lightest/thinnest fishing equipment possible. Called "мормышинг", used to be a on ice fishing method, but since progress stepped forward with the most delicate lines and rods, someone in CIS first tried it many years ago to catch small perches the most effective way possible during sport events to get tons of points (per fish caught). Later people realised that even the tiniest non-predatory fish can also be cought on the smallest hooks and artificial lures (silicone). Мормышинг is gaining a lot of popularity in our region, epsecially among big cities' public, because with this method you can always catch something in every puddle hehe, unlike throwing regular jig hundred of times without catchning anything most of the time. With мормышинг I've caught 12 species of fish in the closest small river, it's amazing. On still water, we're using mostly 0.2-0.3gr sinkers, rarely can go up to 1gr or so depenging on the conditions and target fish. Lines are either braids PE#0.08-0.2 or regular monofilament 0.05-0.1mm. The size of the fish Ginger Fisherman catshes with this method is astonishing, great job.
Hey ginger fisherman I know a secret pool in Telford and there is some big fish but we don't know what they are apart from a giant bream but there is apparently massive like and perch would love for u to go make a video at it
If I hadnt seen that with my own eyes Id say it was probably bullshit!! Absolutely amazing to watch, what a very good fisherman you are Chris!! Tench on a lure...unbelievable!!!
як круто бачити приманки які були розраховані на східну європу і там були придумані і коли ти на них ловив 7 років тому а зараз на них починають ловити в західній європі!
🎣 so what is the name of the rubber jigs that you're using, they look awesome. They also look like they would do a great job on trout too. Great video and I enjoyed watching. 👍👍
The best fishing advice I ever got was 'Elephants will eat peanuts'. Big fish got that size by eating anything and everything in thier path, so never be afraid to go small.
That is the perfect analogy and couldn't be more correct just the other day I had a double figure pike on a 40mm FFS craw21
One of the absoutely biggest brown trout I ever caught was biting on a hook size 13 with a natural baby sized insect larvae. We used to catch greylings this way.
The biggest perch I caught was eating a tiny worm on a size 14 hook! I have heard that in Sweden experienced fishermen sometimes fly fish for big river trout with artificial ants!
A friend caught a nearly three feet long pike with an extremely tiny worm on a size 12 hook. It had a sparrow in the stomach!
What absolute perfect way of putting it so true aswell
Experienced this many times! So true!!!
Great advice...🤔👍🏻
Legend has it Chris' kids are STILL waiting to be picked up from school XD
hahahaha
He's forgotten how many kids he's got 😆
Does he have time to make kids?
I watch fisherman from all over the globe. No one comes close to the lad above. What he does is damn near magical. 🔥
I agree ! He should have a mainstream channel on a Sunday 😎🤙
Those tench were awesome. I've never seen a tench caught on a lure before. Very cool.cheers mate,great video.
Always happy to see new videos from you. Very inspiring, always makes me want to go fishing. So happy to see polish products used by a GOAT!
You’re so lucky to have all these camera’s on the canals to film you as you cycle and walk past. Makes great B roll!
Does he not put his there and have to get it back?
@@penguinh7696 yes that's the joke
@@penguinh7696 😃 Yeah sorry mate it was a sarcastic joke. 🙃
Because if you seen him from the start, he deserves it! Yes a bit of a grudge his living the dream but..nah look at him! He loves it and so do we! 👍

Great content,that is some Canal,here in the midlands it’s all shopping trolleys and condoms.😂.
Haha my thoughts exactly, could never do that kinda fishing here

Classic hunting for fish, moving, searching and catching, my kind of fishing. Cheers from Australia
Awesome Video! Thank you! I come back to watch it for relaxation after work.
This is insane for the Tench. Never seen anything like it!
Superb and well done fella!

Those Tench look like scrappers. Big and thick with that big ol tail. The Bream look like fighters, too. Awesome session!!
Brilliant fishing mate. You are an artist with those lures.
great respect, greetings from Poland --- tenches are the most beautiful freshwater fish!!
Nothing more beautiful than a good tinca! and to nobble 3 all on lures? You couldn't write it mate.
Stonking fish and truly top bombin.
It's always a good day when you put a new vid out! Pete 🏴
What is good is that your excitement is real, and so I finish watching with a smile. Thanks.
Great session Chris. My kind of fishing, ultralight with soft plastics. Amazing to see Tench coming to a lure. I'm going to give the Polaris a shot down here in Western Australia in our Swan River if I can get hold of some. Thanks for sharing.

Great video as always. I love the fact that every time you catch a fish, you seem as excited as if it was your first ever catch.
Another fantastic video from a fantastic fisherman. Great stuff!
Unbelievable Chris. That was class! Another RUclips first I'd say. And, caught on what is probably your idea too with the tungsten putty over and course hook.

Legend!!! Brilliant fishing, thanks for sharing.
Absolutely astonishing vid! Great to see you having that massive success at the canal with that tiny little lure!
Clummys funny and a joy to watch.
Amazing session! Great viewing.
You are the only spin fisher I watch. Love your content dude.
What a beautiful place you live in!
Yeah, I agree with you!!! 😛
Great catch, I never would have thought a Tench would go for an artificial lure. You learn something new every day!! 😃👍🏻
Happy for you, sense the buzz, nothing like it. Well done
If I never seen that,i would have struggled to believe it, nice fishing.
8:56 Sweet !!! They are SO strong💪🏻
greetings from poland! glad to see that you use some of our stuff :))
I love micro lure fishing - great video
That braid is crazy at 0.03mm! And what some amazing fish, those tench were decent.
Nice fish! We fishers tend to forget that all the fish, even "predators", eat some small worms and such when they have the opportunity.
I like how natural your canals are, there.
This light game fishing is the most amazing technic!!! Light tackle, epic fight… simpli amazing!! Greating from Italy Bro💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
i've become addicted to your channel... thanks for that... you have great personality and brilliant ideas for fishing.... though a few of them fish caught would have been taken home instead of release... :-P anyway subbed, - seen your videos, you are a great guy!
Who needs early morning starts and float or feeder fishing for Tench when you've got Ginger and his micro lure rod?🙂 Awesome video Chris. 🎣👍
I think the main reason for the tench to be very hungry is the fact that they will spawn very soon. Beautiful fish indeed! Thanks for sharing this nice fishing session with us!
it's a normal thing, I've been fishing for tench, bream, rudd, and fishing with micro baits for years
Well done, Chris. To catch on plastics. Great.
If it wasn't on camera you would believe it. Great session 👏
Greetings from Poland, great vlog and mega positive energy
I catch myself fishing with an ultra light more than anything else, Love it 👽👍🏻
Top Angling. Wd boss - amazing session on the bank again!!

Nice Tench with that microlure , greetings from Assen in the Netherlands .
I really like your videos when you fish with ultra light
absolute stunners mate
Amazing bit of fishing mate
Awesome Chris ..... Tench are majestic creatures and I want a few on lures now 😂😂😂👌

Bearking Polaris?
@@NoName-yi3oz No, the what I believe is the original, Crazy Fish.
@@roborovsky6950 tnx
Ah the mighty Polaris, never disappoints!

beautiful Tench's.. Chunky guy/gals.. Nicely done.
man, I just ordered your setup so i can try this out! thanks mate
Amazing Chris well done mate 👍👍
stunning bud! keep up the awesome vids!
Awesome 😎. Greetings from New Zealand.
Crazy fish are very catchy lures
They're pretty much the only lures I use now.
We're doing this in Russia and other post soviet (CIS) countries with the lightest/thinnest fishing equipment possible.

The size of the fish Ginger Fisherman catshes with this method is astonishing, great job.
I learned some time ago that мормышин translates as Mormyshing - I wondered what these tiny lures were
Amazing catches. great job!😊
Tench on lures.....wouldn't have believed it.....incredible.
Great Tench .Great vid as usual. You know what you are like, hope you didn't leave your mat behind .😂😂😂 ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
*These Microscopic Lures Catch The Biggest Fish In The Canal! tuyệt vời bạn ơi. Ủng hộ bạn! Chúc ngày mới an lành và thành công nha!*
Another inspiring video Chris.👌🏁
Amazing fishing as always your vids are class
Alot of things in fishing are often overlooked. For instance i have caught multiple big perch and pike on tinny buzzers when fly fishing
Absolute unreal this guy no fish is safe👏👏
These are my fav vids from you!
It's cool watch Tenchs. This is with the Barbel one of the few Native species left that we have in Western Europe. Here in Spain are hard to find.
Red letter day of fishing 🎣 congratulations 👏
Hey ginger fisherman I know a secret pool in Telford and there is some big fish but we don't know what they are apart from a giant bream but there is apparently massive like and perch would love for u to go make a video at it
Fish on!....and on....and on!
Brilliant top angling 👍🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
If I hadnt seen that with my own eyes Id say it was probably bullshit!! Absolutely amazing to watch, what a very good fisherman you are Chris!! Tench on a lure...unbelievable!!!
I’m out here happy with one tench from a canal trip and ginger out here catching them on lures 😂😂😂😂 the definition of levels to this game 😅
Skill plays about 10% of it. Location is the prime factor
never had a tench and you just got 3 in a session well played mate
Nice!
Guess to try some flyfishing with leeches or damselfly imitations in these areas...
Wicked fishing 😊
👍🏴😁✌️
Amazing catch.
What a great vid again 👌👌👌
як круто бачити приманки які були розраховані на східну європу і там були придумані і коли ти на них ловив 7 років тому а зараз на них починають ловити в західній європі!
Eastern Europe are the best for fishing lures.
Awesome stuff!
Great Lure Fishing Chris, please can you try Jelly Babies or Fruit Gums on a Hair Rig?
🎣 so what is the name of the rubber jigs that you're using, they look awesome. They also look like they would do a great job on trout too. Great video and I enjoyed watching. 👍👍
