I thought the LEGENDARY Canal Fish was a Lie... Until THIS Happened! 😯
The rumours were true... a HUGE fish lives on this canal and it's time to try and catch it. 2 days fishing, loads of action and we even meet a local expert down on the bank. But can I catch the fish of a LIFETIME that has been right beneath my feet for the last few years? After travelling all over the country pike fishing, and even further, I've never managed to catch a pike this big. Lure fishing for pike is always great fun, especially canal pike fishing, but i've never caught a really huge one. Maybe today is my day, maybe not. Watch to find out!

Nice video and venue. 12 sit-ups for the first fish, add 8 for every fish you catch...and a headstand if you catch a double figure.
Thanks a lot mate! Some good suggestions there, it would definitely keep things interesting!
Nice one George few good pike there. Take a skipping rope and Everytime you catch a fish do a bit of skipping 😊😊😊 free exercise 😊😊😊
Haha that's a good idea! Thanks for watching!
Now then, buddy. … what a cracking video and plenty of fish on your newly designed Fishing lure …. Hope all is good with you and the family and your little one is certainly sprouting up quickly isn’t he? The concentration on his face eating his pom bear crisps.😂😂😂 my kids used to love them and so did I when they only ate half of the bag and that meant spare ones for me 😁😁…… will definitely be purchasing one ( or two ) of your lures once you have sorted them out for sale and look forward to viewing some of your other items that you will be no doubt making. Nice to see things are going in a forward direction with your Fishing and making a few quid along the way. That’s what it’s all about… after all looking after a family isn’t easy and certainly isn’t cheap. You and your other half are doing a cracking job as the little one looked well happy. All the best to you and yours, buddy and you enjoy. 👍🥰😁🎣
Haha Alfie hardly ever goes a day without a pack of Pom bears he loves them. If we run out then there’s trouble… he’s definitely growing up fast though. Feels like just the other day he was born! Thanks for watching and thanks for the continued support of the channel I really appreciate it!
@@adventurefishinguk yeah I know what you mean buddy ….. time waits for nobody so you make the most of it my lad …… always love your vids and you keep doing em and I will keep watching em ….. looking forward to your new lures and any merch ideas your going to be selling ( ie cap ,, hoodie etc ) would be much appreciated 😎😎👍👍🎣🎣
The family crocs will be out soon methinks 😄
@@alison8526 that is so weird. I was thinking that after I had sent the last message. Great minds think I like. ….. hope ya ok 👍😁
You never know what's swimming around down in the deeps. Nice family outing. Good experiences for the young lad. Walking and breathing vigoursly ..Good for the mind Good for the body..
Thanks for watching! Aye definitely, he loves being out and about with us. Won’t be long before he has his own rod!
There are a lot of pike in that canal, a signed of a good ecosystem.
Yeah it’s definitely healthy, however I did need to fish 2 days and cover a lot of ground to get these numbers on the bank! Videos can be deceiving as they don’t show all the hours without a nibble… but you’re right there’s a good amount in there 👍
Lovely little family you have George, great video!
Thanks mate I appreciate that!
Sooner or later, you'll find that big pike. Nice video again George, and thanks for sharing 💪👍🙏
I hope so! Thanks for watching greg 👍
Lovely stuff George thanks for the upload 👍🏻
Thanks for watching mate!
Great vid and nice catches - great to see the family out with ya. Some best memories are times fishing with my dad and uncle. You would be surprised the size fish in that canal. Suggest try fishing at night. A lot of the big fish are Nocturnal hunters. For every fish caught do a 30 sec to a 60 sec plank
A nice day of fishing 🎣 (family included) that makes the fishing day even better. Great job. I cannot wait to see more!
Thanks for watching William!
Yes.. Sunday now complete
Thanks for watching mate!
Great video George thanks. For exercise you could swim across the canal and back 😂
Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Brilliant George always enjoy your channel ❤
Really appreciate that thanks for taking the time to comment!
Great video I'm sure if you keep working the area you will get the big one eventually 🎣👍👍
Thanks mate, I’m sure I will too! Might take me a few years though 👍
Another great video mate, great to see all of you on the Bank.😊
Thanks for watching mate! Was great to see Alfie netting a fish
Top one mate,Alfie was a star 🌟
Haha thank you, he certainly was!
Awwwww Alfie ❤ Loved this 👏🏻Agree - deeply dark garden 'furnishings' - product of a very disturbed mind imo!
Very cute isn't he! And yeah the garden is unusual to say the least!
Great video George 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣👍👍
Thanks for watching Alan! 👍
Won't tell about the kit kat if you promise not to sing again 😂👍
No promises... what about my career as a vocalist?
😂😂😂
Decent session, keep it up that big one could always be the next fish! Love the looks of that lure. Great job
That car sing-along caught me off guard, love some bits of humour in fishing vids!
Going to lookout for your lure .. you can never have too many lures. 💪🏼
Thanks a lot mate I appreciate that!
Great video George. Alfie has got big now definitely be on the bank with you fishing soon. He looked terrified of the pike though 😂. Do a burpee for every pound of fish caught in that session.
He's growing up fast isn't he! Burpees seems to be a popular one maybe that's what it will have to be
Great video George, good to see so many fish on the bank. I also suggest the Norfolk broads, I've had lots of doubles and a 23lb one from under the road bridge in the middle of Wroxham/Hoveton. Combine exercise with your fishing, cycle or walk briskly to the canal. If its too far away, drive to within a couple of miles, then walk briskly f to and from the canal. Free exercise and eco friendly, win win.
Nice family session George, making lovely memories, just a thought, you could carry some fish medicine? Like the ginger fisherman chris ,so you can administer to any injured fish,may just add a difference
Thanks mate! That's actually a really good idea, i'll have to look into getting some
Brilliant video, love your channel. ❤
Thanks a lot for watching mate!
Swim around the basin 👍👍👍
Haha that would be quite unpleasant!!
Some awesome fishing there pal! Really like how you get your son involved! Mines not far off that age to hold the net 😊 As for exercise, I discovered a good one today! Use your son as a kettlebell 😂 squat and rocket ship, two birds, one stone 😉
Thanks mate! Yeah Alfie loves getting stuck in 👍 I’ll make sure I bring him along next time and use him as a kettlebell 😂
@adventurefishinguk Think I can do 5 now, before needing to sit down 🫠
Great chanel he has 🎣👍
Thanks for watching Darren!
Nice session, I’m sure the new lure will help you find plenty of pike, maybe even the beast 😁
Thanks mate and well done for catching it 👍
@@adventurefishinguk had a couple of hours on that stretch over the weekend. Very good spot, not fished it before.
Brilliant video! I think the inland waterways deserve a lot more resect than they generally get as they are not stocked and are natural environments now as they are so old. I was surprised that the pike you caught, except the jack, all had some sort of injury? And they were really slim, not like a fat lake pike. But the small jack shows, healthy breeding is happening? If you want to loose weight ... give up the Kitkats and the coffee ;-) Take a few carrots with you and a bag of peas, fresh peas are like sweets but good for you :-) As a kid on bike rides we couldn't afford kitkats or coke. We used to raid the pea fields and never got fat :-) Leave your cash and card at home so you can't buy any kitkats ;-) Hey, I am 6ft 2, I used to be 32 waist and lanky, walk 30 miles a day or cycle 100 now I am 62 (and falling apart)? You are still young, your metabolism will slow with age,. Being comfortable and content (but not unhealthy) is the natural progression. So only 1 kitkat a week OK?
Haha I wish there was pea fields near me to raid! Yeah the canal is in good condition at the moment, however it’s not full of fish. I had to cover a lot of ground over two days to get these ones on the bank! You’re right though they are on the skinny side, perhaps the time of year! Thanks for watching!
nice video mate, love the family moment! Alfie already looks so much bigger from the last time I saw him! Lure looking very good too! I think for an exercise idea, lets have a race!!! ;)
Thanks mate, Alfie’s definitely growing quick isn’t he! Consider your challenge to a race accepted, I’ll warn you though I can move quickly - although only when absolutely necessary 😂
@@adventurefishinguk I feel it wasn't too long ago from when I saw him as well haha! Bring it! Let's arrange the session!! I will cheat haha 😂
Great singing, george! Looking healthy and happy our kid! Your new lure has definitely earned its keep. Im 100% certain you will get the giant of the cut. Great to see the family on the bank with you. I’d try dead baiting for that behemoth. Keep at it my friend!
Sounds like you've tried everywhere but the Norfolk Broads! Get your yourself over here and catch yourself a nice upper double pike George. Taking the family on a broads boating holiday would be perfect!
You’re right I’ve never been down that way, what’s the fishing like? Thanks for watching!
Norfolk broads has some monster pike
@@adventurefishinguk it's the adopted home and stomping ground of angling legend John Wilson(RIP). Some monster pike in the broads and drains around Norfolk and beautiful place to holiday if you like wildlife, fishing and nice pub's 😀
I second the idea of a family holiday on the broads with the bonus of some superb pike fishing. Would make awesome content.
Find a Norfolk KZheadr
Could not ask for a better result for the Northern Lights lure
I know, I’m over the moon with it!
...Wonderful video. Have you ever thought of using a fly rod for Pike? Have used a fly rod for catching Smallmouth Bass here, they are tremendous fighters. To lose weight I wait till fall to pheasant hunt, walking the fields all day will wither those pounds right off...
Very interesting video, thanks for sharing. I gather Sweden and Ireland have some big pike. As someone who struggles with weight, sensible eating and no alcohol has helped me.
I've always fancied having a go in Sweden! Thanks for watching
That was fun, and nice work by your first mate! Maybe some day. Brought to mind a memory of my childhood when we fished a pond that had a bass who was much larger then any other catchable fish swimming around, who I had a go at, and managed to catch and put back. Nice lure. I bet the pike would smash it in my area in the Detroit River, USA, where there are plenty of chunky 30+ inch (75+ cam) gators (as we call the nice ones here) swimming around. But fish a meter long are very rare around here because of the temperature extremes.
Nice fish 👍
Thanks for watching mate!
25 star jumps 😂
haha i like it!
Not a bad days fishing really. I know you didn't catch a decent one but at least you didn't finish the day empty handed. Cheers
great video keep up the top work
You need to try Loch Awe there are VERY big girls in it. Another of my favs is Loch Oich, a stunning place.
As many burpees as you can haha
Burpees seems to be a popular one we might just have to go for that!
3 rounds of boxing sparring 😂
😂 this would be fun, not sure id be able to find a sparring partner though. Shadow boxing might not have the same appeal haha
@@adventurefishinguk I'm sure a local amateur boxing club would be able to accommodate
snagged bro need to see these northern garden peg! They actually have fish around them aswell 🤣
Nice vid mate 👍 id say do anything that you would enjoy for excersize, even bike ride then its a lot easier if you enjoy it
Thanks mate, very good advice!
Go for a weekly hike up the hills or in the Lake District. Also fasting works well, eat breakfast late and dinner early and don’t snack.
Good suggestions thank you!
The 30s are in the Trent between gunthorpe lock and collingham 😊
where we fish a 4lb pike is big 🤷♂️ so i had a 18.6, my mate a 15.4 and our mate a 20.2 all on lures. some zander in it aswell but so wesry them. great video again pal. keep it up
Well done thats an incredible selection of fish you had. All would be PB's for me! Thanks for watching 👍
@@adventurefishinguk had a 19.6 in river Don last year. and a 2.5lb perch on a 14cm ricky the roach 😂
George I swear to god I won’t tell anybody about your coffee and Kitkat your secrets safe with me bro
Haha thanks mate 👍
You could do river n canal swimming 🏊 awesome way to get fit 😜😝🐟🎣🐟🌊🏊♂️🌊🏊♂️
Haha I don’t think I’d fancy a dip in the canal anytime soon but river is definitely a possibility 😂
Красивая у вас семья.
Thank you, much appreciated!
Good catching with your own lure and for exercise how about a cartwheel along the canal 😂
Haha that would definitely turn a few heads wouldn't it!
Those decorations are a reminder of what happens to poachers 😂😂😂
Not a workout but the carnivore diet was life changing for me.
Always been intrigued by this one, I think I love potatoes a bit too much though 😂 what did you have for breakfasts?
can you use that rod for feeder fishing or float fishing?
Nice try. Think that stretch may have been hammered recently. The day you were fishing, we were not too far away from the stretch you were trying to target that fish. It was hard work to be fare. Still a few more degrees needed to hit that magic number. Tight lines.
I think you're probably right! Thanks for watching 👍
One push up per CM of pike caught 🎣🎣
That would be brutal!
Hi, I’ve just got the Smuggler 5, very nicely made. Will the smuggler 5 handle these smaller size pike? Thank you
It will handle pike this size no problem at all! Thanks for watching 👍
@@adventurefishinguk I look forward to using it, and thank you for making great content which has inspired me to get back fishing since becoming a wheelchair user. Thank you.
A good way to keep fit and enjoy the water is paddling a sit on top kayak
Good idea! I’ll have to look into that
@@adventurefishinguk if you want to give it a try I have a cpl I could bring up to you and we could have a paddle
Chew Valley lake.. Thats the place for the big pike .
Lots of 3lb pike is why there is one 18lb pike.
Good point!
Hiya George, I also follow & Subscribe to "Reel Lures" Jamie's channel. I watched the video that you showed the clip from, it was amazing that he was fishing with such a small lure for Perch and then the General turned up. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who would like to watch it so i won't say anything else about this great video though i would urge everyone to like & subscribe on his great channel please as it helps him out to carry on with his great channel. Love the new lure George & i'm glad that it catching you so many fish. All the best.
Thanks for checking him out! Incredible turn of events wasn’t it, I’m so happy he caught the moment on camera! Thanks a lot for the kind words too 👍
Places near you, you can run to the fishery instead of going in the car 😊
Good idea, not sure I’d fancy working up that much of a sweat before starting though 😂
There is a legendary pike story for every water and if there isn't someone will make one up! I had one guy start to tell me about a massive grand daddy pike that lived in a water I had been fishing for 40 years, I corrected him, for one the males don't grow very big, for two the water was netted 2 years prior for repairs to the bed to be made and the largest pike in there was only 17lb, I found out later the guy had only just moved into the area yet he was trying to tell me he had seen a 34lb pike come out. he soon departed after me correcting him and refusing his BS.
I love every upload and love you took Alfie but please never ever sing again 🤔😂😂😋
haha singing definitely isn't one of my talents... 😂
Those spots of blood on the pike you’re landing looks like you’ve knocked a parasite off them.
Quite possibly, maybe spawning marks
Try the lea Canal over 20 pound in there ws3 1ld area
Thanks for the advice mate!
I reckon the old norther light perch lure would be a good eBay seller for £20 a pop
Haha i'm glad you think I could get that much for them but they'll be for sale soon less than half of that 👍
And where would I be able to purchase these items looking forwards too that
@@jackjenkins3655 if you keep up to date with the videos you’ll be first to know, hoping to have the project launched in a few weeks!
When is the store going live.?
I’m aiming for the first Sunday in June but that’s not confirmed just yet!
Get over to Lough derg Ireland full of meter + pike
Id love to have a fish over there one day!
20 mile walk fishing your local canal
Haha that would be quite the challenge!
@@adventurefishinguk it would but think about fitness lol
Hi, how do you set up your leader?
Just a solid knot from the braid to the wire trace, very simple!
@@adventurefishinguk what pound trace would your recommend and knot?
Honestly, the best workout you can get is to leave the car behind when you go fishing. Use public transport where possible, and walk to your mark. It might only be a couple of miles there and back, but its a couple of miles you would have covered sat on your arse otherwise.
That’s very good advice thank you! Unfortunately where I am it’s quite the drive to get to most of the places I fish. I could definitely get more steps in though!
next time, park a mile or two away from the water. or maybe cycle.
go fishing on this same canal and every fish u catch is 10 pushups and 10 burpees
Thanks for the suggestion!
Do a week in DPD as I work con from Ireland 🇮🇪
Haha if I had a van it wouldn’t be so bad!
90p for a a KitKat… I’m fuming
Haha the world’s gone mad!
Do fishing challenge where you add up all of the weight of the fish you catch in a day and you have to curl that weight. The amount of fish equals the number of sets 😀👍
Is that lure available to buy or is it's a personal custom job.
They will be available to buy in a few weeks from my website (which isn't currently live) 👍
@@adventurefishinguk thanks for the reply
1 cm of fish = 1 burpee... even a 60 cm pike is gonna be a nightmare!
Haha burpees definitely seem to be what people want to see for some reason, a good suggestion!
Try the lea Canal over 20 pound in there
I'll look into it thanks for the tip!
Losing weight is about controlling calories, tesco apple and cinnamon porridge for brekkie, learn to love Sainsbury be good cuppa soups, the Thai one is spectacular with Pom bears and a chicken sandwich for lunch, and tesco mains for around 500 calories for dinner, that leaves you at around 1000 calories for the day leaving 600 for an evening beer allowance, add in 3 5k jogs a week and that helped me lose nearly 3 stone without trying too hard. Good luck, and remember, when you reach your target weight you can eat a bit more for maintence.
Thanks a lot for the advice mate I really appreciate it!
@@adventurefishinguk oh, drink at least 4 pints of water of low cal squash or something a day to try and keep the hunger pangs at bay!
swim the next place you are fishing end to end!!
😂 a good idea for sure
🐾
Thanks for watching!
You ever fished chew valley lake monster pike in there
And yeah you don't need to exercise! Just don't sit watching KZhead all day Sunday like me 🤔 but calasnetics while you fish could work but you'll look mental 😋😋😋
Haha yeah a calisthenics fishing session could be an interesting one!
You don't appear to be using a trace, @@adventurefishinguk; mind if I ask why that is...? 🤔
What is the best time’s to go fishing for pike and perch on canal’s ??
Dusk and dawn i'd say!
Pom Bears are good for your diet!!
Haha that's good they're always in the house 😂
Weight Loss Tip - Wear a weighted vest during your fishing session 3-4 hous of that with the distance covered will burn a lot of calories.
Good idea thanks for the suggestion!
Hope your sponsored by pombear 😂😂😂
I'm on my third canal pike blank today😢
Unlucky, i'm sure you'll get one soon. Especially if you use a northern lights perch 😉
The mountain goat. ⛰️ 🐐 . Hope you've got a set of lungs 🫁 on you son.
Haha I think i'd struggle with that one!
Mate I lost 2 stone in a couple of months. Fast for 2 days a week,stop grazing and going to sleep with a full stomach 👍
Can ppl catch and cook trouts?
Some people do, not really with wild fish very often more stocked fish!
25 burpees every time you catch a fish will do the trick😉😂
Haha yeah a very good suggestion!
Have a bash at Keto
I've heard good things about that maybe i'll give it a go!
Take part in a bikerace.
haha might struggle to fit that one in to the end of a fishing trip! I'm not as good on two wheels as I am in four 😂 Thanks for watching!
Get a deadbait on
run an hour every day and 40 pushups every day
I sometimes run for about an hour at a time, I'd struggle to do that everyday though! Thanks for watching!
