Thanks for the video Earl Red. It's often not the size of the hook that results in fish losses but the thickness of the wire. The thicker the wire, the more resistance to tearing out there is. You can land big fish on relatively small hooks if the wire gauge is thick.
That was a shame mate your get that beast soon , maybe a bigger hook size if your targeting the bigger fish , good on you for the giveaway that’s nice of you 👍
All shared chap what a lovely prize you are giving away shared on my Facebook and Twitter if I’m lucky enough to win I would like greens ones chap!!! Good Luck Everybody 🤞🤞🤞
Hi mate, blue is the colour for me, think you are right about the cod being hooked on the smaller pennel hook, I always use the same size hook at the main hook on my pennel rigs, great video tho pal,
Black... Nooo Earl unlucky mate, I could see how gutted u were. Keep trying and u will hit that PB again without a doubt. Great vid mate and have shared on FB.
Good chatting to you the other day, thanks for pointing me in the right direction regarding the worm. I had watched this vid but must have been on with other stuff. No doubt bump into you again. Tight lines 👍green
Are you finding the Rotobait is not releasing sometimes? If you use an impact lead it will disrupt the water flow to release the bait clip. If you use a plain grip lead it will work a lot better.
PURPLE. Had luck Earl on losing what could have been a PB, keep trying. I would suggest using larger hooks, 3/0 4/0 or even 5/0 if going for larger fish. I always use the same size for the top and bottom hooks on my pennel rigs and use did and rawle circular hooks, as you strike you'll normally catch the book in the side of the lip. RIGHT LINES
Hard luck loosing the fish mate, I was like that with a huge hound in the summer. After catching a decent one I cast out and within two mins there was another on, I could barely reel it in, and just as it got to the rocks it broke off. It was huge,
8:07 that’s sucks mate earlier I lost a big fish when it cut me off 😫feels shit then keeps haunting you trust me you always remember the one that got away 🤣
Unlucky with the cod,I'm sure you'll get him in the end. Try putting a slight twist to your hooks, help keep your fish on the hook. Trident tackle is great, I like the blue ones.
Commiserations on losing the Cod... been in that position myself so I know exactly how you felt... I’m from Edinburgh and recently on a fairly local mark I lost an estimated 3-4lb Bass when it was taken by a Sea Otter.... As I was bringing the fish in I kept feeling this BIG tug, I knew it wasn’t from the fish and thought it was a seal.... I had Seals rob my fish two or three times now... I saw two yellow eyes reflecting from the main beam of my head torch and then when it got close to the rocks, it bit the fish off behind the head, and swam away with the body! My main concern prior to this was, how to I stop this Otter away from the hooks, but thankfully it left me the head.... to be honest it was the last thing I had expected.... it was nice too see that the local wildlife is doing well, but it’s annoying when you lose a fish! I’ve been fishing for 35+ years and this is one experience that everybody has said, ‘Mike... it could only happen to you’... then started laughing ... I’ve recently started to use Trident rig accessories and find the superb... very streamlined and does the job very well... great for long casts... neat, tidy, and streamlined.... certain that it given me a few yards, even though I can cast a good distance. Wish you tight lines, especially for “that” Houdini of a Cod... Think positive.... you’ll catch it... Great videos ....
Losing a fish that close in is a sickner, but the fact you clipped another rig up straight away and got it back out fishing as quickly as possible is a very good habit to have mate.
Great upload Earl you were so unlucky with the cod.Bad fish 🤣Next time you will catch 🎣I will enter competition but I don’t fish.But if I do and win can I donate them to Inglorious fishing pls 👍🏻 Red 🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@EarlsFishingAdventures ohhhhh gutted for you mate, still as you say you will get it soon. Do you have a drop net or can you walk it to the steps there? Should be some good fish this winter, hopefully you will smash it. Stay safe mate regards Steve aka Chunk
Great video o.k. you lost a large cod but you stuck with it. I have lots of trident tackle and due to circumstances have yet to get it wet, so please exclude me from the competition (there are a lot more deserving cases than me) Can't wait to see you back out there trying for that cod. Thanks for posting.
Everyone has lost a PB - it's the Angling badge of honour. I think it's just as bad when you catch a nice one but don't have your camera with you. I've had a big Pollock and a big Carp like that.
You could probably get away with 2/0-4/0,not sure what size you use at the moment ?,even a small cod has a big gob ! Not that I'm likely to win,but black would be good,but I wouldn't be too fussed ! Nice gesture too.
Oh that empty feeling of an angler losing a fish but seeing a pb get off must be a heart wrencher.. gutted .. great content again marra don't leave it too long between fishing vids
great vid mate shame about it coming off bud ,,,jave u ever thought about trying a drop net aswell ? so once it at the wall u aint gotta haul a fish up if its a good 1 an it shakes mid air it could easily come off the hooks ,,,,,any colour mate will do me as i fish the murky bristol channel,
Shame you lost that nice cod, there was a fair bend on that rod and it was bouncing. Have you thought about using a drop net, could save you a few losses. Grey for me please.
Hi earl can you do a video on using Cooked prawns 🍤 to catch cod to see the comparison of squid and lug cocktail to just a prawn 🍤 bait be interesting to see
I know a lad who fishes off dover breakwater and he has great results with them also at night he attached small light sticks which you put on the tip of the rod he ties them to his hook with a squid cocktail and fishes of the pier at night I have seen him catch loads of cod where no one else is catching
Earl did have a Patreon a couple of years ago, I know because I was his first to sign up but because of Patreon rules it didn't work out for Earl at the time. Maybe time to try again Earl? I'm in!
I'm gutted for you on the loss of another cod! Still nice to have a video from you. Thanks for sharing it Earl!
Thank you for watching Valerie , dont worryil get him next time.
Thanks for the video Earl

Never thought of that i will do some thinking mate cheers
That was a shame mate your get that beast soon , maybe a bigger hook size if your targeting the bigger fish , good on you for the giveaway that’s nice of you 👍
Big hooks big bait big fish 👍
Cheers smash i will tryagain very soon witha much biggerhook this time . Im going to make a few rigs with 4/0s next time.
All shared chap what a lovely prize you are giving away shared on my Facebook and Twitter if I’m lucky enough to win I would like greens ones chap!!! Good Luck Everybody 🤞🤞🤞
No probs mate
Hi mate, blue is the colour for me, think you are right about the cod being hooked on the smaller pennel hook, I always use the same size hook at the main hook on my pennel rigs, great video tho pal,
Im gonna be making alot of my rigs now with the same size pennels now thanks Paul
Black... Nooo Earl unlucky mate, I could see how gutted u were. Keep trying and u will hit that PB again without a doubt. Great vid mate and have shared on FB.
I was really pissed off to be honest mate but i soon calmed down andil be back there again soon .
Just remember, a bad days fishing is always better than a good days working. Been using trident gear for a year now. Still very impressed.
Good chatting to you the other day, thanks for pointing me in the right direction regarding the worm. I had watched this vid but must have been on with other stuff. No doubt bump into you again. Tight lines 👍green
Remind me again ? Are you the guy I met on the beach with your mrs and kids ?
Forgot to ask how did u get on Friday?
Yes I spoke to you the day u had them 2cod aswell.
@@broonball spot on now I remember
@@broonball 2 Ray's and 1 brown crab
Are you finding the Rotobait is not releasing sometimes? If you use an impact lead it will disrupt the water flow to release the bait clip. If you use a plain grip lead it will work a lot better.
I have had that problem just once but yeah I understand what you mean it's the shape of the lead that makes the difference.
I'm having the opposite problem, they're unclipping mid flight especially with bigger baits.
@@septicsceptic419 I've never had that problem but I will try big baits next time and il try it
@@EarlsFishingAdventures it held worm baits fine but crab, squid baits hit out at range saw them unclip more often than they stayed clipped.

Green.I think you should make your baits more compact and make sure your hook points are clear of the bait for better hook up
Your 2 months to late mate sorry . Thanks for that advice tho mate really appreciate it
8:07 that’s sucks mate earlier I lost a big fish when it cut me off 😫feels shit then keeps haunting you trust me you always remember the one that got away 🤣
You always do dont you , the one that got away always hurts like but got to keep trying mate , thanks for watching mate
There’s nothing worse than losing a fish on the surface mate especially a possible PB , tight lines for the next one . Red for me
I really think it was a PB mate but cant be helped , il get him next time
Unlucky with the cod,I'm sure you'll get him in the end. Try putting a slight twist to your hooks, help keep your fish on the hook. Trident tackle is great, I like the blue ones.
Thanks for that Andrew il do that next time thanks alot
no problem earl was glad to help chap green
Great video Earl - shame about losing that big one. Red in the competition for me! Stay safe & well.
cheers mate
Hard luck losing that fish but perseverance will pay off, looking forward to next video, YELLOW

You could try a 2/0-4/0 as the main hook and the chinu as the top one 👍🎣🦈
