  • amazing ive seen this amount of barbel in england but dont think i could get that close without scaring them

  • In England we use Elips pellets (best) or Halibut pellets, very good bait for barbel. Type Hinders in google to source them

  • Can you please tell my what is the best food for barbel. Thank's i love to fish them catch and relase,in my country we use worms,bread,chease(very god),and water grass.If you have some better baits please tell me. Thanks :)

    

  • they let you pet them, that's great haha

  • That's a pretty cool vid.

  • Certainly one of the best videos i have seen. I used to fish and shoot but don't anymore.  Gave it up about 15 years ago. Who in their right mind would want to catch these beautiful creatures and drag them out of their own environment?

  • This is pretty cool. Wow, what river was this filmed in?

  • and I cant catch these going fishing...

  • They are happy fish

  • omg this is absolutely fantastic just imagine all the info you could get about the way the barbel and trout feed on that river. Honestly though fascinating stuff =]

  • Type PRIZE before youtube and hit enter

  • that was amazing. 

  • impossible

  • sono senza parole.....complimenti vivissimi per i tuoi meravigliosi filmati!!!grazie!!!

  • Brill footage bur I would like to know what you was using as bait as I would like to use the same in Yorkshire rivers!!!!!!

  • These guys only tried this twice before filming them.

  • That is amazing to do ,how long did it take for the fish to except you? to be able to swim and feed them?

  • i love catching barbale

  • I want to know what this guy is feeding the fish with, looks like they absolutely love it!

  • OMG!! Absolutely eppic! Stroking them aswell, amazing!

  • damn man. You got a huge school going.

  • i wont to do that!

  • Great footage. Barbel are one hell of an enigmatic fish. Roll on June 16th!!!

  • do you think that wary and pressured barbel would react the same way ?

    john wilson on a pressured river said they do react sociably even being able to cradle one in his arms ?

  • yes i think they would, they would probably spook at the sound of a lead or feeder hitting the water but would tolerate a diver in the swim as they have no reason to associate this with danger ?

  • @Stubarbel most fish are not scared of you when your in the water with them, especially if your feeding them.

  • @goj09dale I once fished the idle trotting for chub wading and a barbel of around 7lbs sat on my feet and allowed me to pick it up.

  • Brilliant photography,must of taken a long time to get the confidents of the fish.

  • Try this in the UK. See how fast your mask gets clogged up by sewage. The guy is actually stroking the barbel at about 4 minutes!

  • thats some stunning footage there! theres stacks of barbel!! nice hand feeding aswell!

  • Fantastic visability.
