Fishing In The City - With Meatballs?!

this's yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah no way I got one I've actually hooked a fish in the city imagine a random guy tells you that he's been catching some giant fish from the city [Music] center imagine he follows that with I've caught them all on meatballs you're joking you're joking that's not good oh here we go oh fish on it was that one small conversation which led to this wild adventure ending up in places I never expected making new friends and catching a fish I'll remember for a long long timeo oh there we are right what do I need I don't know where anything is that's just pure mold it's gone really moldy that night I'd be fishing in the city center but I had to get a move on cuz I need to get on the road I got a long drive ahead of me so I'm not arrived yet I've just got to stop to grab some snacks probably the best Motorway service station oh yeah that's cool that is this is our day got three and a bit hours left of driving and then we will be at the river it's right in the middle of the city so it'll be unlike any other fishing spot I've probably fished for a long while whilst I was at the shop I also picked up some pepper armi which is my favorite bait probably for barble fishing especially when the water's colored however the guys I'd be fishing with were adamant that meatballs were the winning bait but we'd see about that just what we needed some more rain [Music] oh boy that was some Drive I think it took me about 6 hours to get here but conveniently this is where I'm fishing talk about [Music] luxury exactly what I need after a long drive so let's get my stuff sorted get prepared tie up some rig see nothing that a bit of gaffet tape can't solve getting some balls of paste out there I've just mashed up some pellets and I'm throwing those out I'm going to have a rig in the water and I'll be fishing in no [Music] time Rod number one here they are these are the guys I've been waiting for wait till tonight hey man um Luke yeah Luke all right nice to see you nice to see you nice to meet you oh you've got the secret bait secret the problem is I'm going to end up eating all these before my friends headed off Upstream where they' be fishing for the evening meanwhile I continued baiting up it's taken me a little while to rig this one up cuz I've been chatting with the guys and hearing about what's in here and what they've caught over the years Luke and Leighton had landed loads of barble from this exact spot but with the flooded conditions I decided I'd be happy to catch anything you're joking you're joking I cannot believe it hang on a minute what's going on here something seems a bit sus I'm snagged on a tree oh dear how is this tree f back so hard it's come through right I just caught an absolutely giant Branch talk about getting my hopes up I best I bet I best I get a what English Carl please English it's been a really long day of driving and I didn't feel particularly well on on the way I don't know I think I'm just really tired o over tired and uh probably what I need is a good sleep [Applause] [Music] so that lovely fell that I just spoke to who came down to pick up some litter and have a general good n about fishing has told me that a very big barble got caught from this exact spot just I think a week ago or something Facebook posts about a 15 bar in the last few days now things are getting serious I'm fishing not only the coolest barble spot I've ever visited but I'm also fishing for a really big bar like bigger than my personal best he did also mention that uh the road up behind us here is lined with pubs and nightclubs and bars and that this area might get a little bit noisy once it's dark so yeah we'll see oh bro's got B YouTube subscribers oh nice to meet you man anyway you're all right got a yeah man no problem that's fine you see you guys hello Luke um what are you doing for dinner I just realized I brought I brought no dinner so deliver sh to your really well yeah sweet nice one Luke all right nice one nice one see you later byebye oh what are we going to get I've got more rods just just realized I can put a third Rod at this there's no rules oh I feel like I'm in Barcelona and every time I hear this tun just stop drifting away and all I want to do is go back go back I think you're possibly the worst singer in the [Music] world that I'll have to do because I don't know where else to car hey man that is our big bag thanks so much take it easy never before have I been fishing had a Uber Eats dude come down and bring me dinner I I didn't realize that was even a thing but apparently it is I think I got the wrong one now I'm not a saucy guy and when I order things I specifically say no Source please and I put that and then look at this monstrosity do you see all that sauce why would they do that my session wasn't going so well mostly because DeBry in the water kept wiping out my lines however a little way Upstream Luke was off the mark oh yeah go on Lads they've gone and caught one already Absolute Power House of a barber [Music] oh that's a bite oh Le look like a bite but actually it's not a bite it's a big log flying through the river again oh dear it was late evening now and I believe my whereabouts might have been posted online resulting in rather a lot of people coming down for a chat it did help me pass a few quiet hours of fishing and ured that the food I'd bought didn't go to waste enjoy than for the enjoy your food cheers M thank you see you buddy nice to meet you yeah you too bye not feeling so safe in the city center on my own with all my camera equipment I decided to pack up move to where my friends were fishing instead all right let's go to the next spot [Music] I don't know my way around this city oh this is the bridge that I was casting towards just now Luke and Leon fishing up in that next bit I think I've got to try and find my way around there has he got one that looks a lot like he's playing [Music] one are you playing one oh fair play that was good timing wasn't it big UPS guys yes go on boys showing us how it's done sorry about the bright head torch nice catch dude nice all right well on Lon cheers is that so you you've had one I've had one last one one and Luke over there has had one I all that needs to happen now is uh for me to catch one and this has been a big old success um but don't don't don't get your hopes up you know what I'm like right that's it it's gone midnight and I'm just going to go to sleep [Music] instead okay which what is that is it moving no I'll see you guys in the morning see you disappointingly I woke the next morning with nothing but weeds and branches caught on my hooks well you guys you guys have one each the we're going to still be coming anyway so we'll keep you updated and once then temperatures start Rising it's it's hectic yeah I'll definitely be back I wished I could have stayed in the city and kept trying for the big bble but that day I'd actually organized to meet a new friend of mine Isaac who lives up in the Lake District goodness me this scenery I was not ready look at it to be honest I kind of wanted to work with him maybe bring him on board to help film and edit with me but before doing so we of course needed to meet up and go fishing anyway DJ DJ Play It Again cyclist [Music] oh I've got no signal early the next morning Isaac cooked up a cracking breakfast with ketchup smothered across his bread thankfully not mine things were looking good if he could put me on the fish as well I'd certainly found the man for the job it's more than just a little bit Misty this morning spot number one c number one [Music] that's fish y h on with Isaac getting off the mark early and out fishing me it felt like I was fishing with my brother again just with a northern accent look at [Music] that oh yeah hit yeah oh yes [Music] friend I've had a perch I've had a pike and a flat check I have my FL that now other than a slight difficulty understanding him I think Isaac and I got along great of course I still felt pained from blanking two nights before but a return to the city could wait there were fish here to catch yeah no I've really enjoyed it [Laughter] guys I came to the Lake District and I did it I might not have impressed Isaac with my fishing ability but we'd certainly got along well I was seriously considering giving him the chance to quit his job and make fishing films with me fulltime but my thoughts were soon interrupted by videos sent to me by Luke and Leighton again they were hauling barble I would have gone back to the city sooner but I had some filming planned for my second Channel fishing tutorials this day was to be spent with Adam who works for top fishing brand [Music] Guru very nice that's good one two three one two one two cheuck cheuck oh oh here we go that's a that's a bream we're going to get it oh it pulled a bit harder then didn't it oh no oh here we go bble yeah oh fish on come on be absolutely mive bigger than Cal so for some context when we filmed with Adam a couple of years ago Cal the cameraman snuck a rod out and broke both Adams and my PB on his first attempt that will do come on yay I've forgotten what a barble looks like that's a double yeah we don't come to catch little ones do we oh my God Hold This Hold This Hold This Hold This Hold This Hold this he's got mad gra brace up let's do this this time Cal had left his rods at home and surprise surprise Adam and I were loving it mate oh my that is big I'm just enjoying this opportunity to uh actually hold a big Marvel mate that's 12 that's the oh it's got to the same weight 137 it's 137 no wait wait hold it still hold it still you've beaten your PB by an ounce 13 8 o oh what are they to do a PB on camera y a year pretty much to the day when cameraman Cal caught himself a 13 pounder as well yeah there we are some brilliant action two beautiful fish Absolut stunning love them that's a bar but bigger it was awesome to fish with Adam again discuss some big plans we have for fish with Carl and Guru and before the day was out Adam had landed three double figure barble M that's good well it's super nice to be catching some bble but I still want one from the city center so I'm definitely going to be going back [Music] heading back into leads again today I'm almost at the spot now this time though Cal's with me we're going to do some filming and I'm going to catch a barel I like the confidence yeah yeah going to guaranteed doubles only oh oh looks nice you know what oh mate that's that's way more fishable than when I was when I was here last time it was racing through it's way deeper now now that is looking much more [Music] achievable this is where I started my session last time but I don't know whether I want to start here or up on the other spot flip a coin okay ready heads no tails ah okay we're going to we're going to start at this spot ah it's a long way down like much further than last time okay no no no we'll be all right that is actually going to be okay or at least I would have been if ID remembered bait so what do I actually put on the hook I literally don't have anything I've got I've got pellets like for loose fi I can't put that on the hook all right well my day hasn't exactly started like I'd hoped it to I've had to look on the map and I can't see any tackle shops so I am going to have to just find something that we'll do for now my friends like using the meatballs on here they did well last session there is a McDonald's has anyone caught a barble or a chicken nugget thank you oh go one then won't hurt do you have meatballs or pepperami hey hey we're in luck thank you I Now understand why I've never caught a fish on a chicken nugget because I can't seem to stop myself eating them all man I was so hungry what's going on good news the rest of the session I'm going to be fishing with meatballs this is exactly what my friends have been telling me have been working there we go half a meatball now in the river the river level had dropped somewhat so since my last visit and therefore my chance of a city bble looked promising oh yeah oh hello it's yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah no way I got one I've actually hooked a fish in the city where is Cal cameraman Cal is gone oh no no no don't panic Carl has got a bream he's going to be gutted that he missed out on this bit of action and you get flipping it that was awkward oh wow drove for 6 hours to get up to the city again and was met with this a slimy bream got a braam cal didn't I good job buddy yeah I know it's well worth the drive oh my gosh Cal there's another boat coming through let's hope that doesn't get snagged please don't get snagged please don't get snagged oh no I've got it I think I got it that's not [Music] good let come off it got me wored I was never going to reel the boat in was I oh he it didn't even break my line it didn't even break my hook on [Music] off I am getting all sorts of nibbles on the rod here like these little Taps I had to buy earlier that I missed but we w we won't talk about that I think this session is going to happen oh my God what was that oh my God cow cow cow oh my goodness it really pull my body a Bree couldn't pull the rod like that I will not believe it I think it might be a barble oh no it's a chub we are upgrading not the bble that I'm after but it's a decent CH I'd give that probably £ 12 O maybe £4 this session is altogether different from last time I'm actually getting bites oh oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah man this is this is what fishing's all about I'm actually catching fish on Fish [Music] on meatballs it's going off I got a good feeling about tonight normally barble are are kind of nocturnal they might feed during the day you might Nick the odd one but as the light levels fall and dust comes around that's when Barb will wake up and I've got meatballs this time as we moved into evening the action tailed off remembering my last visit I decided to head Upstream to join Luke and Leighton in their swim hoping it would kick off at dusk like [Music] before I'm basically a local in leads now I know my way around all the good spots don't know how to catch a barble though who whoa whoa W hang on it oh no there oh oh you just wanted to get more shots come on now no I thought I I saw the bus coming and I thought oh it's one way now we're stuck in major dff major traffic I'm so sorry I'm going to get the map I need the map look there we are City bite it's written in the stars after a little detour we wasted no time getting the rods back out all three of us were going to be fishing tonight making the most of the last few hours of the river season I'm really feeling like this is my chance now it's the perfect time I'm in the spot which has been doing the bikes the really prolific area where the guys have been catching I feel like it has to happen now and if it's it doesn't I will [Music] cry from last time when I was here I knew that there was a bunch of rubbish on the ground so I got myself one of these does it extend no that's long enough not for you lank lanky man M there's so much oh look free charger free iPhone cable the snake charming leads [Music] Edition all three rods are out fresh baits on all of them and I'm fishing the Deep spot the flow comes around this corner and it's kind of like dug out this sort of deep hole just before the bridge guys have told me that this is their most reliable spot well what do we have here how's the diet going Cal that that one is his this one's mine they're not both for cal cal would normally Oh I thought they were both mine oh if either of you want sauce um you can have my sauce when you're blanking this is what you need Domin can you eat it in one oh well no Cal I'm not I don't play these games I'm going to try and ping this Rod right down underneath the bridge cuz I haven't put a rod down there yet okay there we are what actually made like what was the reason for using meatballs in the first place um we just needed some a bit more jerk durble and spam really we kept putting we've CAU some massive fish on spam to be honest one at biggest barble came on spam um and we just needed some that would stay on air a bit better oh no way mate that looked like it was going round damn I thought that was it [Music] it' be nice if one of the uh big bar will turn up now given that I live so far from this spot and the end of the river season was looming it was now or never and I really wanted to end this season on a high [Music] oh go on go on go on go on go [Music] on bro that I've actually hooked [Music] one yeah big head shakes now yes mate I've I've finally gone and hooked one and I just have to land it it's holding deep I know this is a decent one this [Music] playing don't come off now mate do not come off [Music] now hey bro I caught a leads City Center barble it certainly took me a while but uh we got the barble that we came out here for thanks to both Luke and Leon for helping me out showing me the spots they love fishing and also providing the pizza we knew that turn up at some point yeah man we got one
