Absolutely outstanding angling mate two 7's in one session wow just wow!! Proof is in the angling mate, as I say "Cream always rises to the top" Absolutely Fabulous 👍
your films are so relaxing. really capture the atmosphere of the fishing trip. yiu catch some great fish but the atmosphere is what i really love. sitting quietly waiting for the bite, so many fishing videos miss that important part. thanks fella
That is very kind of you Monkey! I like to keep the filming basic most days and not use much if any music as I think the ambient sounds of our surroundings whilst fishing are just too wonderful to drowned out with adding music and such.
“a cracking season for me with the Chevin”. Really loved your approach Mark from which you deservedly reaped the benefits over the course of this last season. Excellent stuff! Take care. Alan.
Holly mother of chub I've just discovered your channel. I'm a huge lover of this amazing fish, but here in France, rare are the anglers that invest themself seriously on it. I was almost sure that a 70cm was possible but the biggest chub I was able to found was about ~63cm but when I've seen the beast you've made, you gave my faith back. I know in England rare are the fisherman who mesure the length, but do you think you have ever caugh one ? How long was the biggest you've ever seen ? That apart, I'm so freakin amazed. Any chub on this videos was bigger than the biggest I had ever seen on a french video
Have to say I like your style, content is a perfect balance between quality fish and the info needed to catch them. And filmed really well for a guy on his own.
The magnificent seven x 2 you've got to be the best river fisherman I've seen in years your on a par with Chris Yates Bob James in a passion of angling keep catching specimens like this you will become a legend
You know it makes sense Graham! You have already tested it on the canal and that bream could not say no, so I think we can expect some stella results once the rivers open mate!
You must have been floating on air on the way home after that session Mark, sublime quality Chevin with 6.15, 7.01, and an even larger seven. you are catching bigger and bigger fish it will not be long before the magical eight! Thanks for your reply to my question on your last video about the changes you have made with the cheese paste but I think I will wait for the MK2 video to confirm quantities etc, can't wait. All the Best John
John believe me I was floating, warm and fuzzy feeling! I will sort a video out regarding components used in due course as i find it a much improved recipe.
Cheers James and a whisker away from being 3 sevens. Regarding geographic location, you go and catch a 4lb fish on another river that would easily be equal to a 7lb fish elsewhere mate, it is all about how you look at it and I for one think it has as much merit!
Thanks Mick and i would agree "surreal" sums it up perfectly. Good luck on the Loddon my overall chub pb is from there and it is what i would call my home waterway, if i can be of any help ping me a private message on instagram and i will try to help.
Epic session absolutely epic . I think 2022 is gonna be some year for you Mark , filling that album with fish captures of a lifetime . Appreciate the hard graft and time it takes to record and share your trips for us fella , massive respect for that . The fish gods are with you mate. Tight Lines . Steve M
Amazing result Mark! you have excelled yourself I look forward to seeing the mk2 cheese paste recipe I think it would assist me to get some bigger ones if not bigger I think it would enhance a session tight lines mate
You can keep cheese paste really simple, it don't need to be overly complicated. Location is the biggest factor in fishing not the bait. And you'll definitely get a bite if the fish are there. Best advice is a selection of baits is key. Great session!
Cheers and thanks for the decent length comment, always enjoy reading such ones. I agree 100% location is always key and i say that to everyone whom asks, after all you cannot catch what is not there. To each their own regarding bait, my own view however is that I do fully believe everything can be fine tuned, appetite stimulants and creating a paste that has a basic water soluble component that aids in break down and this spreads a scent trail easier through the water column better in winter weather and lower water temps than say standard cheese paste, does for me at least make a noticeable difference to the days where I would just whack together a two cheese paste. I agree totally regarding a selection which is why i always take a mixture with me, there is no point stranding yourself for the sake of not wanting to carry a few more options.
Great video again Mark what an amazing session. Well done I would have been happy with anyone of those chub but to get those 7's I would slso be on cloud 9 👏👏👏
Wow mate what a session them chevin looked like they were on steriods 🤣 Great job mate two 7lb bad boys cant ask for abetter session the magic cheese paste does it again . Keep them coming mate cant wait for the next 👊🏼
What a great session! That's one to go down in your history books. The kind of day you never forget! Personally I think that due to mild temperatures and therefore more abundance of natural food the Chub record will be beaten very soon. I fish the Upper Gt Ouse and there are some enormous Chub being caught. I also think the Barbel record will be beaten again, for the same reasons.
Lovely fishing Mark. I'll be out tomorrow looking for Tench at my local club venue. Love to see the chub as I don't river fish much so don't get to see them that often.
Last week I caught just the one tench and 3 good 'slabs' after swapping from maggot to worm. Yesterday, 40+ usual mixed bag of fish (20 by 7am), but no bream or tench, oddly it was mostly perch and all on maggot - tried other baits but they just wanted maggots. We did have a lot of rain the day before so wondering if that made a difference. Great to be out though.
Lovely fish and great to see these coming from that section, haven't yet been chugging as I'm still trying to improve my Barbel fishing, right give it a go this season
I vary it mate. So some swims i will start without any free offerings and others i will bait and then fish them, so some swims will see some liquidized bread or just a few small balls of cheese paste etc.
@@francolinobasco to be honest mate you certainly have more days like that than most 😀😀👍🎣… take that as a compliment . Right im off to catch some buttery crucians . Have a cracking day . Take care 👍🌞
