 I hope you enjoy it, get on with it, and in the end we have a nice little surprise, so stay tuned! This is where I was going to fish, absolutely flying through. The river has actually burst, it's banks. I'm not even sure if my lead will hold the bottom because I'm only using a light-ave on rod, but why not, I'm here now. I've just been told I'm completely wasting my time. Devastated, I've just lost a really nice fish. Total and utter waste of time, you said. Clearly it wasn't. The following day I popped down for an hour and managed to catch a barbell. The day after that the water had dropped down by another couple of feet, and where there was previously water, I was now able to stand. Meeting up with my friend John, I'm hoping you'll be able to fish this spot and say that it's suitable because as a wheelchair user, I need to make sure he's not going to slide in. It's about eight or nine foot deep, right off the edge there. But while I'm waiting, I think I'll chuck out this mouldy piece of meat. You've got more chance of catching one of these stocked barbells than you have catching one of the Wild Chubb. It's great fun, but it doesn't sit too well with me. So that tiny pluck that you saw was a bite. That was it. Gone. A nice, big, thick bit of grass root. There's so many little bits of plastic that the tackle trade sell us. Of course, all ends out to sea, doesn't it? So that's four nil to the fish. That's four tiny little plucks that have removed a great big piece of meat like that. Hiya. I've had five bites and I've missed every single one of them. Charlie, will you be asleep? Yeah, a little bit. I think they're wisening up. How late? That's all right. It's normally the other way around, isn't it? Maybe I should fish banded pellet. I'll tell you what, I don't know. I'll put it on there. And then we'll put the hook through as well. So it's on the hairy and put it free. It works, does it? It proved to be a really frustrating afternoon at the end. So I left John to it and picked somewhere a bit more tranquil to no avail and fished through till dusk where John did actually hook something but lost it unfortunately. The following day I have an unexpected visit from my brother down on his luck and out of sorts. So what better excuse to head back down to the river and I put him onto a spot on the opposite side of the bank that I think might work. That spot that we fished in yesterday is really popular. I wanted to go old school today so I've got a centre pin set up. That time of year where float fishing almost becomes ruled out from the amount of leaves coming down through the river. I've never, in all the years, had to fish like that on this river. Oh really? Never. How's the barbed wire? 100%. The power behind that. I think it was just a tour. I'll try and put this on that side. Thank you very much. I feel lucky now. You're very better. Yeah I do. Lucky Tom. I wish you the best luck of catching one as well. Thank you very much. All right. I love fish. Do you feel luckier now Will? It's been getting fat on all those pellets that have been going in. Isn't that crazy? Probably accounts for what all those bites were yesterday. You snagged? What was it? No. You might be a trout. It's taken you into a snag. You have to give it some slack where you'll lose it. You've lost it already. Or you can come out as you feel like it's still on there. No, at first it was going to do-do-do-do. Does it actually make that noise? Do-do-do-do. I love that. Yeah, just take it out. You're lucky. Yeah. I think it was a good try. Could be perch or trout with some big ones in here. Scuffing that rim to slow the float down. The surface moves a lot faster than the bottom. Do you think the fish were sick of meat? Yeah. What would you think it might be? I think it is as well. You normally just, with a chub, you get a couple of strong lunges, and then that's it. Be careful. Yeah, there you go. Steer it in there. That first one was much, much bigger than that. There you go. Look at that. That was good. A lob worm, eh? Did you barb-took? I think it rocked, sorry. Good gillie. Hold on. You're in the hotspot there, I reckon. I had three, two bites of fries like before I had that one. Did you? Yeah, lob worms. I think you're right. I think a lot of pellets have stopped being thrown in. Yeah. Quite a bit more of it. Yeah, wary of meat. What do you think? Meat weariness. That's all right. That's all right. That's crazy. It seems these dais have taken a liking to lunch and meat. Yeah, another little dais. What have you got? Oh. Oh, lovely. Let's see many of those in here. What's that? I don't know. That was a strapped pig ink. Just laying on the pleasure's hits, just jumps about the war and sort of sailing across the river. That's lovely fish. That's a good fish. Colours are incredible. Wow. That's, yeah, what do you reckon he weighs about? It's easily two pound plus, isn't he? Yeah. I often wonder where it's the same fish as for someone else to catch a similar fish to that, a size fish to that. But that's a cracker, isn't it? Let's put that in for scale. Yeah. Yeah, well, I'll get a picture of you holding it, actually. Is it good? You're not going to make your spin come out? Well, I was trying to, but it's still really lively. Now move your hand out though. What happens? I can no longer get an erection. It's an old fish. It doesn't go out. Yeah. It's really nice. It's really nice to see that. Well done. Yeah, well done. I'm really, really pleased for him. I'm really pleased for him. I have a score to settle now. So I've moved to a different spot tucked away. It's going to be pretty tight because of the tree canopy, but hopefully it gets less split full. And if you listen carefully, in the aeroplanes and sirens and dogs and kids screaming and cars, there is a little outfall. So it's a nice little feature to fish to. Just hoping that Will would catch a fish. And once he's done that, I suddenly think, well, I want to catch a fish. All right. I'm not accepting defeat. Can't have my brother feeding me with a big perch and a barbell against two days. A chub wins it, basically. Oh, jammy. I'm doing it again. It's got to be a barbell. This is a trout. There's a trout. Is it really? Big brownie. Yeah. It is, yeah. Well done. That was on the lob worm, was it? Yeah. So look at you then. Look at that. Is that a wild brownie? That is a wild brownie. It's got red spots. Where's that unhooking mat? That's a wild brownie. That is unbelievable. That's a wild brownie. That's unbelievable. That is unbelievable. That's not a stock. There's no way that's a stocked fish. That is a big old fish. And that's definitely a wild fish. Well played. That is probably one of the biggest wild brownies I've ever caught. Yeah, well played. Good? Yeah. Well done. Was that a big brownie? No, not for a long time. That was a real surprise, wasn't it? It was the last thing you expected to see come up. I think you're doing a good job holding him, actually. I'm honest. He's okay to go. Well played. Beautiful.
