    Got say, as a match angler this channel has certainly captured me. Not what you might expect a match angler to watch but after watching a couple of your quests, I was hooked by your passion for the sport! It’s not luck at all, you have put so much time into catching what you have, and more importantly found where these big fish are. Truly well deserved and thank you for sharing. That last pike… wow. I am speechless so can fully understand how you must be feeling. Well done mate 🙏

    @OMEGOOLIEBIRD 8 месяцев назад

    This got me emotional! Fantastic skills, work, endurance, tenacity, and ability to come back from failure, time and time again . Well done!! Some people will never understand the reasons. The goal doesn't matter, that is for you to choose, it could be money for some greedy people it could be boxing, it could be science. The point is, you did your best, improving with each failed season, and carried on until you did what others will never do! The sound in your voice appreciating that fish is what life it self is all about, that is the peak and actually living the dream. Money can never buy you that feeling. Well done!!!!!

    What really captured me was the amount of care and love you show towards the fish. it made me really happy.
    so that the anglers of the future can see that it is one thing to catch a big and beautiful fish, but also to treat it with respect and care. is at least as important.

  • @Boxersboy-um1fd
    @Boxersboy-um1fd 8 месяцев назад

    Lee - I am probably just as speechless as you!
    Been following your adventures for quite some time now - you'd already had an amazing season before this behemoth arrived - no-one deserves it more than you. The hours, the sessions - you are one dedicated man and the fruits of those labours are here for us all to see.
    No need to apologise on how you feel when you don't know what to say - it happens to us all when that which we catch is the fish of our dreams.
    Remember catching a 2lb 2 oz Roach on the River Lea whilst fishing for Livebait - I can't tell you how much I was shaking when she went on the scales - I believe from my friend who was with me at the time stated I was just talking gibberish. These times are what we, as anglers, live for - every time the float goes under, the bite alarm goes off, the quivertip pulls round - we never know what's attached until we land them.
    Well done Lee - if anyone can get a 40lber, it's you😁

A fantastic series with a truly magnificent fish to finish with. I am not a pike angler, but this series has had me well and truly hooked. Brilliant mate, made up for you, and I look forward to seeing you back on the bank with a new target very soon.

    Congratulation on an amazing fish. True story, as kids we mainly fished for carp in the summer and only occasionally fished for Pike in the winter. We were fishing a small lake one day when we caught a 30lb pike. That was 40 years ago and I still remember it as if it was yesterday.

    I’m just going to say this how it comes..
    I’ve just watched the build up to this video with all the 20s you had in them sessions, this one is currently on my TV, so I’m yet to see this part.
    I came across your video while looking for a Barbel video and I’m now actually hooked to your content.
    I’ve watched fishing videos since I was a kid and you are absolutely up there with them legends like John Wilson, Matt Hayes, etc well for me anyway your videos are better. The music, the camera views, how you conduct yourself is absolutely brilliant.
    You go through your technique’s, where you fish, your thought process, and I’m actually blown away.
    You are going places and it’s honestly the best content I’ve saw in 35 years of watching shows. I truly hope your channel goes viral.
    Keep them coming 💪🏼👌🏼

    @jamesrussel1133 8 месяцев назад

    So pleased to see your much deserved success. That result was immense. What a stunning fish. We are so lucky to live where we do. What makes it all so rare is the threats to our fish stocks from the combination of predation and neat sewage releases. Fish that size are arguably rarer than ever before. Well done, much respect.😮

  • @robertkirk1983
    @robertkirk1983 8 месяцев назад

    Well done mate what a fantastic series of videos deservedly crowned with that fantastic fully deserved pike. Those of us who sit on the banks for many hours in glorious solitude know exactly how that capture felt and most of us aspire to be to feel those special moments. I have only been focussed on pike fishing for a couple of seasons and my PB is 15lbs. Armed with what I have learned from your approach I am aiming for my first 20 from October 2024 and your video make me believe with hard work it is achieveable. My preparation in selecting rivers and swims has already started !
