Fish Rescue! There are Fish Stranded In The Puddles In the Woods! 

5 liter water bottle as a fish trap would be an idea. Leave one in each tree bottom for 48hrs and you'll get loads out

Can you imagine going for a walk in the woods and you find a bloke fishing with a stick for sticklebacks in a puddle?

Something different Chris , nice saving the life of some tiny fish. Good man 👍

Well done for saving them fish most wouldn't care .

GOODstuff Chris what about a fish trap you might get more K/R Mr D

Speaking as someone who would move a snail or worm from the footpath if I thought they were about to be stood on, I appreciate this! Mind you, I was waiting for one of your 4lb chub to take one of the sticklebacks on the way in.......

That was v.decent of you to save some fish. Thank you 👏👏

Ginge to the rescue love it.

Aw fantastic Chris 🎣brings back memories of keeping sticklebacks too👍 take care tight lines 🎣🎣

Chris, I have used hooks 28 and 30 - NOW THEY ARE TINY! - to an 8oz Bayer bottom. On a warm summers day with not much happening, I went for a wander and saw a Pike about 1 1/2lb - 2lb laying under a bridge. I picked up my pole, and from my net placed a 3" skimmer on a 28 hook and dropped it in front of it - Pike grabbed it immediately! - played that pike out on the pole with NO elastic. Not proud of it now as I was young at the time - and a Pike that size was a BIG fish for me - but the size 28 was smack in the scissor so I never lost it. Wiser now - 40lb braid for Lures and 58lb Braid for Pike on Deadbaits alongside 28lb and 40lb traces dependent upon the method. But we all learn somehow............

Good to see someone that really cares

You’ve literally taken me back to my childhood. My first fishing rod was a piece of cane, with cotton attached, a bent pin and a worm dug from the garden catching minnows from the local brook.

Love these fish rescue videos I watch a lot from the USA doesn't seem to be as popular here so great effort and great content really enjoyed this 🙏

Stickleback was the very first fish I caught as a 5 year old in a net with my grandad . 45 years later as a fisherman it always makes me happy to catch one they are an amazing little fish

Great video as always. Maybe put in a simple fishtrap with some bait in each pool to catch the rest? 0,5-1l plastic bottle where U cut off the top and put it back reversed. This way u can show us the put in and take out during å fishing video from the creek for example

G'day Chris, nice one 👍🏼 . David will be proud of you 🤣🤣. All the best form down under 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Brilliant video, really took me back . I used to catch minnows and sticklebacks with just a small piece of worm and no hook. They would scoff the worm and not let go as I pulled them out of the pond. That is a very environmentally friendly way to control the mosquito population. One small pond can accommodate gazillions of larvae.

Dude you've got a big heart catching them small fish and putting them back in the river 👍🏾

Really enjoyed this one! not all about the massive fish! The amount of times I've walked pass road side ditches, seen little fish and wanted to have a go at catching them... Maybe I should give it a go!

I have never seen a stickleback caught on a hook before, amazing!

That spider 🕷 was hilarious

Keep the videos coming and the information that comes with them. Would you ever think of making a video compilation of the funniest moments as things always go as planned. Keep safe Greg.

well done saving those fish. it would be great to see you catch a few more of them and return them to the river.

Very thoughtfull that m8 and your saving and preserving the sticklebacks nice 1 Chris we all should do this when fishing little places like that which will eventually dry up and the life in them sadly die👍😉💯👏👏👏

That's the sort of creative content that gets him the 125k subs. Well done

Haven't seen hooks that tiny since I used to fish with a pole. Prefer to be mobile with a lure bag these days. Good on you for rescuing a few. Try using pop bottle fish traps and popping back next day

Takes me back to my childhood ...some 60yrs ago when I used to fish for sticlebacks in an old millpond. Using a garden cane as a rod, cotton for line a bent pin with a tiny hooked end ( self created hook ) and would you believe a matchstick for a float ! Had hours of fun.... this created my love of nature & fishing.

Dude what a vid.. it don't matter if its a grow ya own 20 or a stickleback.. a life is a life size don't matter .. awesome video my man 😃😀

Interesting watch mate, bit different to the norm. Love it!

Great little fish get a kiddi tiddler net and save more what goes round comes around the fish gods will look favourably on your next quest 😊

I absolutely love this……..took me back to being 6 yrs old using a stick as a fishing rod and catching…..yeah minnows and sticklebacks….fair play Chris…..really nice vid

They sure put up a good fight , good work

He doesn't need a saw, he just pushes trees over ! Well done for your fish rescue .

I really enjoyed that m8 excellent idea putting em in your pond because they one day may have ended up in there through nature as all it takes is a couple eggs on a herons foot to splash in the water and away you go but I thought it was a really cool thing released half and keeping some for a lift almost natural pond where they will not just survive but thrive, I don't know how big they get but I'd love to see how they progress over time.

Micro fishing is awesome especially with under water footage . I can’t vouch for other people but I would love to see more. Thankyou for making such good vids

Fishing is fishing at the end of the day.I personally love catching Gudgeon

Made my day!🎣🎣

Good work.

Love your new rod. Not so much an Ugly Stik more a Normal Stik.

Fair play my Ginger brother. !!

That was a cool video brings me back to when I was a kid catching them and minnow

You can actually catch fish from a puddle😂 well done mate 👏

Would love to see more videos like this and maybe even pond updates to see how they thrive 👌

On release in the garden pond,your thumb behind the tub looked like a small pike lurking 😂😂

Just fantastic mate well done top dangling🎣

Sticklebacks are class.

At least half of them weren't eaten by chub,perch and pike in the river then eh Chris lol,top videos pal ,a worthy cause

love your stuff thorky from alberta Canada...

You really do take us on the journey with you. Enjoyed every minute.

My first fishing was with a stick as shown by the Great Jack Hargreaves....I caught a tiny gudgeon.. I was now hooked!!

Loving the content mate, keep it up!

Great video, sponsored by Shakespeare 'ugly stick' 🤣

Such a shameless plug for the rod manufacturer, disgusting commercialism 😂 honestly, brilliant vid. Great fun, worthy cause and low tech

Keep it up mate

What a lovely peaceful vid!

Takes me back to my winter league matches on the Shropshire Union back in the 80s - size 26 hooks, 1lb line, bloodworm & joker, and a pound of gudgeon got you good section points. I packed it in when I realised I was looking at a size 18 hook and thinking how big it was!

Good that was 😊

Great work!

Nice work chris. Many years ago I was finding what I think were tiny chub in a puddle next to the River Dane in Cheshire. To this day I don't know how they got there. The path must have been 8 foot above the river at normal level

Any idea what the test curve is on them pro sticks? Remember the thin bamboo cane nets, 45-50 years ago, wondered if they still make them? Would really like you to catch the lot of them please.

Surprised your rod didn't break with the monsters you were catching

Love it - Takes me back to me childhood in the UK 🇦🇺

Love your Videos, there are some awesome wild trout in the River Tudd (Norwich) wrongly discredited by Mr Wilson in his book and I know it because I lived on it costessay and Kyaked and fished it, and spent many hours to study its many fish holding features. its a very small river but supports so many chalk stream and faster river fish

"Not sponsored," ha! We all know you're paid for by the wooden stick corporation! Cheers from across the pond.

Lets have a video on your pond and updates on those fish TGF!

Loved this.

Good stuff Chris 🤜👍

Magnífico video pescar peixe desse tamanho 👍🎣

Excellent mafriend,, you should make some old school minnow traps out plastic bottles and bread in them , plant a few in each puddle for a cpl days and save as meany as possible. Respect 🙏 tight lines always 🎣 🐠 👌

GOD BLESS FROM POLAND:)

Great video, so interesting to watch, thanks 😉👍

a minnow trap or two in each of those would catch hundreds. love the videos by the way

Wonderful video! Many of the fish trap ideas offered sound promising. Or you could invest in a Japanese Tanago rod, especially suited for tiny fish.

Man I really enjoyed this lol.

Very different but really enjoyed. Not known anyone do this before saved from one area and moved back to the river. Hoping for them to breed again in time. Thanks for this very unusual vid..😮

Mossi net stretched over a landing net work perfect for catching these and fry, much quicker too, but then wheres the fun 😂

I used to catch sticklebacks with a bottle with bread inside, it was deadly when I was a kid.

I remember catching sticklebacks in my local stream with a tiny hook and a piece of worm, this brings me back.

Cool !...all creatures great n small....

Good job you didn't blank!

Good work mate 👍

Good man great job✌️

Water bottle fish traps!! So many left behind in those puddles

Great job! Now all that remains is to spend a day pulling up all the Himalayan Balsam before it all seeds!

Nice one! Yup definitely brought back some child hood memories there.. I remember once I caught a 3 inch Stickie.. was a whale at the time haha Thanks!

We have the same situation here Chris. When the top of the river turns to one giant Lake ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qbBxHXA8gog.html It gets worse than that sometimes. But as the water recedes Fish like this one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qHUwgJRsc1g.html get trapped In the pools left over. There can be thousands of them. We have to go there with giant Nets and waders on, to net them all out and back In the pools Before It all dries out. There could be Pike and Carp up to and over 30lb. So Yes go back rescue as many as You can. Keep 'Em Coming.

Hi 👋. Loving your channel. Have been watching some of the past episodes. Will keep watching. A question if I may. Could you or have you already, instead of using a shop bought lure , could an elastic band cut down to about an inch work as well . 🤔. Maybe a challenge 🤔. I am looking forward to seeing your next video.

Great stuff! Himalayan Balsam in a big ,no,no on out nature reserve in Tewkesbury, fyi

Stickleback are perfect for small ponds and aquariums, quite hardy fish and they start feeding pretty quick even after stressing them out by relocating them.

I watched the fish locker yesterday and john had about 60ft of line snap during a fight with a blue shark 🦈 but luckily the float popped back up so he gunned the boat managed not only to retrieve all his lost line float and terminal rig but the shark was still on and he tagged and released it, and my point is I have respect for anyone who puts in that bit of effort to help fish in any way because I'm a hobby fisherman but I do occasionally take for the table and they need all the help they can get for people to have the luxury of both sport fishing and eating them. So we'll done saving the fish m8

Himalayan balsam is such a pain of a plant, almost impossible to get rid of and completely overpowers native plants. Nice to see the micro fishing tho

Catch more !!

Seen it all now 😂👍

Wheres Dom? Cool video again... Bump into you at Lidl again.... Y'all take care now... Simon

Awesome!

😂 24 hook, you'll be there all year fine net and a bucket would suffice, but great videos youth 👍

Micro fishing level 37. fun video.

Next vid . Do chub eat stickleback . 🤣 . Great job Chris .

If you think that's a small hook, then you should see the size 36 tanago hooks from Japan that we use here in Denmark for tageting small spieces when competing for most species caught in each year. 😊

They have a really short lifespan you should of tried to keep a male with them 🤙
