Your videography is absolutely brilliant. It’s very easy to sit and watch without paying much attention to the amount of time these must take to film and edit.
Superb. I had my third 3lb Perch in 51 years of fishing 2 days ago and it was a perfectly conditioned stunner. They are special fish. Two of those three were caught on worm the first one on dead bait.
Another great video of a great session. I don't know if you actually get any income from your RUclips channel Chris, but if you do, I'm pleased for you because you absolutely deserve it - your love for angling and the respect and care for the fish you catch shines through, you impart shedloads of really useful knowledge, and your filming, editing and production skills are top notch and presumably self-taught? Best of all, you inspire people to get off their arses and go out and have a go. I ever meet you in a pub, a pint is definitely coming your way, cheers.
Thank's for the kind words buddy it's very much appreciated. This is actually my full time job and has been for almost 3 years now. Best job in the world but it's none stop. A lot of people don't know this but I actually took media production and conservation courses at college. The aim was to go into Wildlife documentary production which was my dream. So thinking about it I'm almost doing what I'd set out to do at 16
Fellow Ginger here. I grew up catching Yellow Perch in Upstate New York, in the US. We lived in the Finger Lakes region on Keuka Lake. When I was a kid, the water was so clear that you could see the bottom clearly in 20 feet of water. We could jig for em by site. Awesome memories. Thanks for taking me back in time. I'd love to fish that bridge. Awesome spot!
@@MrHemp55 well, I live on the other side of the planet. So, I will, for sure, never find it. Besides, if he gave locations, people would ruin his spots.
Another great session again Chris. Lovely Perch from the Canal. As we all know Perch do not like bright light. And It Is even worse If the sun comes out. So always look for anything over hanging the water, producing a nice dark area for them to congregate In. Plus bait fish will also go these places for protection as well. Keep 'Em Coming.
I must admit, even though we don't have perch where I live (Alaska) it's so much fun watching your interesting videos. I fished for them as a child in the western U.S. but the biggest one I've ever landed was about the size of your smaller one. Rock on ginger guy!
Exciting adventure! Subscribed to your channel and eagerly awaiting more videos. It's thrilling to see your pursuit of big perch using lures only, especially when you hit the honey hole unexpectedly. Can't wait to learn more about your tactics and experiences targeting
Awesome session. Took me years to catch a 2lb+ canal perch, then had 2 in an hour from the same spot, biggest was 2lb12oz, they were backed up by 2 more fish just under the 2lb mark. Was probably the best hour of fishing I've ever had. Theres something really special about a real big perch.
I like this guy doesn’t just show you what he,s catching he shows you his tactics his baits and set ups You could also tell us where about your actually fishing on these canals
I don’t rlly go lure fishing but I went float fishing today in the grand union canal caught 4 perch on worms in the same sport decent size ones love your videos have a great day ❤❤❤
I caught my PB in a canal here in the netherlands. 45cm 1+kilo. Upgraded my PB that day 3 times. First was 38cm second was 42 and my PB from 45cm. Caught my first ever zander and had my first ever pike on the line. Can't wait for the season to open up.
I absolutely love the SG4 series Rods from Savage gear. I have multiple versions of them including a light game travel rod. Just phenomenal rods. Great video again man! Love watching your videos 💪🏻👍🏻…unfortunately it’s closed season in the Netherlands now 😊
Fantastic,l ! perch is my favourite fish to catch, but being more of a fly fisherman these days, I haven't caught one in years, but my local reservoir has been spilling a few into the river I mainly fish, so hopefully it won't be to long before I have another one if these beauties in my net
Greetings from the United States. I learned a couple of tricks from you watching you this time. Tricks that will work here also. May you lock into a world record perch good day my friend
Blimey !!! That was superb..... Alas, I live miles from a canal.....Have to wait until June 16th, and then it's lure fishing all season on my local Nene.....Champing at the bit to say the least....
Canals are fishing sick lately had a right afternoon yesterday, caught 9 bream on bread and corn and then i caught what i thought was a chub but on closer inspection it was actually a grass carp around 5 lb
Great session Chris like always Week ago accidentally i beat my pb perch during session for pike I think i was big for city channel Was 43cm and 1.413kg i was absolutely amazed
Great video mate ...and lovely fish! I'm a member on that stretch too now but haven't had much luck at all, as yet. I only started lure fishing about 6 weeks ago, so still learning a lot. I'll hopefully get back down there tomorrow afternoon so fingers crossed 🤞 Also I've met up with Bill Hurst a couple of times and I'm impressed by what he catches on micro lures! He gave me a handful to try, last week and it's surprising what shows an interest in something so small! 😁
Used to fish on the Grand Union Canal by the Malt Shovel in Iver. Caught some grand old perch just below the bridge using a silver mepps rigged with a single barbless hook, or a devon minnow. I had a 6' spinning rod with a Mitchell 408. Great combo but not much use if a pike grabbed the lure.
Perch Derby in my local area next week . You would have been runner up with these for sure. NIce sized fish mate. Im heading out later today to cast my line :) Perch/Drum/Gar/Carp/Blue Cats and many others . Fingers Crossed. Cheers.
Some beautiful perch and a few Nike jacks but Ireland is very similar and I still haven't got a nearly 2lb one but determination I'll get on thanks for the ideas 💡 happy fishing pal
On the subject of fishing perch in Ireland, as a boy, I fished on Lough Ennel Mullingar, using mainly spinning lures or floats with worms on a single hook. Brought back great memories. Many thanks Chris. PS Lake perch are very good to eat albeit very boney!
I've caught decent sized ones and small ones last summer by using maggots. A shoal of perch would always chill by the bridge but never under it and I'd lure them to the margins with maggots to keep them interested and I'd jig 3-4 maggots till they took it. They were a bit wary as I was standing right over them 😂
@@foylad4862 The official Dutch record is 56 cm. An absolute slab of a redfin perch. I have caught a 50.2 cm myself. Our waters are stacked with perch and big ones. I've heard stories of specimen hunters catching multiple 50s in one session.
@@likilikiki That is insane 🤯 very nice PB 👏 the biggest perch i have caught in the UK was 1.9lbs on a copper coloured spinner out of a canal. Compared to most that i catch, it was massive. And for you this would have been a baby haha. Il have to get over one day 🎣
@@foylad4862 2 pounds is still a nice fish. We measure perch by lenght here mostly. I don't know why. Other species like carp and brim we weigh. I also have no idea why perch get so big here considering they don't live super long. I think they live to about 15 years max. I caught my fish in a very small city canal, next to a pump station. Caught it on a float with a worm as bait under some floating debris. Also the record at the time was 52 cm so I was pretty close to that hehe.
Ace mate lovely looking perch great colours 🎣watching your videos is like meditation because I've not been able to do any fishing because the split arse got a fox red lab pup 🐶she's 14 months old know so I can start leaving her and go fishing 🎣 carnt wait. Thanks again dude keep the videos coming 😎👍👌♥🎣👣
@@The_ginger_fisherman ace mate just seen your reply I got two water loving labs the nine year old black lab is nearly blind bless her she loves water 💦 😎👍👌♥
Some good tips in there, but none of it works on the canal up in Edinburgh 😂 The waters like hot chocolate, theres boats every 10 mins, theres no locks, it's the same depth all the way, few features and the fish are never under bridges. Absolutely hopeless.
@@packtanagaming7388same here on the Bridgewater canal in Greater Manchester where I live. It's like all the perch and pike disappear in the winter time and don't start showing up until the weather gets better
Another great vid thanks Chris .. any chance you could another underwater camera vid on the canal please ? I only fish canals and your last underwater vids on how different species react to different baits was fascinating
Thanks buddy. Yes I'm planning on doing more underwater stuff. My usual filming spots are too colored at the moment, but when they clear up I'll make a start

This man does not miss! 😅 loved the informative style of this vid - felt like I was watching a classic Matt Hayes show from back in the day!
If you used bared hooks ...you would lose a single fish .Ripp its mouth out ......but old ginger doesn't care

Awesome video mate! As an Englishman living in Australia your videos are always very nostalgic for me. Keep up the good work.
I CANNOT get over the size of the perch that you catch consistently. Amazing! Great camera work too. Another great video. Keep up the good work.
Nice catch. Quite envious of the clarity of your canal, ours is alway murky and when the boats start i just go home and get breakfast
Great video, I love perch my favourite fresh water fish. Keep the videos coming it's always a good day when I get to watch them.

you wont find many fishermen willing to share their spots, it takes a lot of effort to find them. He just said he covered 16 miles to find those fish.
