Jeremy Wade not only an amazing angler but the way he narrates his own show it's beyond legendary.

Imagine living your life and then being pulled out of your house and being called chunky by Jeremy wade

I'm the most amateur Fisher ever, but everytime I get a fish on the line I say 'fish on' in my Jeremy Wade accent.

My man is iconic.

[hitman]

I know the fish didn’t make a sound, but I could hear him cursing at Jeremy with an Australian accent.

Ive been watching jeremy wade on tv for years and now im 13 and go fishing with my dad every week.!

Myself and the other guys filmed this over a 5 week period. Jeremy actually caught, hand-reeled, and managed to hold a few smaller Murrays which were not shown on film. On the expedition, . a 9 pound Murray was hooked, before been eaten by another absolute monster! Unfortunately, none was caught on camera. Overall, a great learning experience.

It’s like a Bass, Walleye, snakehead in one

The steve Irwin of fishing, an absolute legend.

The NSW Government decided to drain a shallow lake system on the darling river saying its not viable etc blah blah but their perspective was more about making money using the water and not the state of our native fisheries when they drained this storage people wanted to save the fish but alas red tape tangled what available time was left and the storage was dry there were fish older than 70 years old in that water storage the real breeders the ones that naturally restock our native rivers and i say these bastards who live in the city who don't understand wont ever come out here in the outback as they know people here are waiting for them to show their cowardly faces because they ruined something some of them weren't even born before those fish they killed i will never see fish this big again in that water way because i don't have another 50 years of fishing in me but id also like to point out that the greed for the water didn't stop there as now the entire southern part of this once great river is bone dead dry no water just puddles of green sludge every few miles because the cotton growers up north in NSW and southern Queensland have laser leveled their lands allowing them to have more flood water sit on their land which they then in turn restock their ever growing dam sizes after see a farm who did this by claiming her was just making an all weather access road the road being 2 feet higher than the surrounding farm land they were able to hold back so much flood water on their property that they have time to restock their own greedy little water stealing programs at the cost of a once mighty river system i say fuck cotton growers they flood irrigate while almost every other primary crop grown apart from rice has to use drip systems and micro sprays to be viable with water saving but not the cotton growers so as their dams and farms get larger and more cotton is grown more and more water will be stolen and less and less water will make it to the river down stream you see our rivers were always seasonal and we seen high flows on the darling and low flows but a little education for you polly pricks the native fish like warm shallow water because of these conditions they can breed more fish but oh no you had to destroy that breeding place for what ? MONEY they all play the blaming game and pass the buck on to the next one in the end they will leave government but their legacy will be that they ruined our River system for greed and retire getting their retirement package and go away without a trace i say fuck you bastards because its a big place out here lots of places to dig a hole and bury some shit i'd like to think that all you ever want and own gets taken from you all and you end up with nothing but the hatred of all the river communities of this once great river Country we call Australia



If anyone would like to shame the people responsible for this leave me a message i will continue this fight because these bastards have got away with Treason

“I don’t want to be caught in a flash flood” proceeds further down creek into a gully,

[stevencarnes]

That's an amazing catch it looks like you crossed a Nile Perch, Small Mouth Bass and the colors of a Walleye. You get the size from the Nile Perch and the aggressive fight from the Small Mouth Bass. Definitely a species that would be addicting to fish for.

[markkane]

Jeremy wade is the best show on television , river monsters is brilliant and also his spin off show mighty oceans

[fraknrak]

When I was a kid we used to do a yearly camping trip down the murray river and i've gotta say, the one he caught was tiny in comparison to what used to be there

[BlackCountryPiker]

A fish I would love to travel over to Australia to catch. I often watch Robbiefishing and codgobbler01 to see their cod fishing adventures. The aggression and the boof noise of surface lures is just awesome. A lovely fish you caught in the end Jeremy 👍

[loudmouf]

Come to the Murray River mate. Mildura’s backwaters have 4-5 foot Cods. Seen them first hand.

Jeremy: "The Water here is really clear."

The Water:
*Literally cloudy brown sewage colour.*

[noahthedestroyer]

Wow these are really cool fish, it's like a bigger bladder Australian version of a small mouth bass.
