I've been fishing for over 20 years but still find myself watching your videos 😂 the fact that you guys back up your tutorials with epic catches is the best thing about you in my opinion

The unhooking part of this guide was the best I've seen. You included everything you needed to know even for when the hook's too deep to retrieve. I don't think I've seen anyone cover that part before. 👏👏🎣

Thanks for showing how to grip the pike by the chin grip. Your explanation and video of that was the best I've seen. Good job!

I fell in love with pike fishing using twisters when I was kid. To this day, it's still my favorite technique of catching fish. Thank you for sharing your precious knowledge with us!

Thank you for producing this vid guys. Your instruction is clear and concise, the information is very helpful. Great job.

You’re tutorials are actually fun to watch well done guys! Learning loads

U guys are the best youtubers, never stop doing fishing videos.

Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup ru-vid.comUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

I'm from Florida, USA, and although we do not have pike, the dead bait technique shown here is also works REALLY WELL for catching gar, which are basically the equivalent of pike, as they share many characteristics, such as long jaws, sharp teeth, etc. Thanks for the awesome video!

been watching u 2 for a long while and have helped me improve my fishing thank you keep up the good work

0:12 Greetings from Czech Rep, love your vids. (:

Blooming marvelous lads, thank you very much !

Getting my own stuff slowly recently to start fishing by myself, tons of information that overloads my brain but you make very informative yet simple videos. I love the idea of spinning, throwing lures out and catching something that way but there's so many different options out there that I don't know what to choose from as I'd like to fish for pike and trout

I have craved this video for so long!

Thanks guys, great tutorial. On the subject of deep hooked pike, I'd rather strike early and maybe then miss it rather than striking late and getting a deep hooked pike.

Yes Yes Yes,finally the video I've been waiting for over a year Thanks for this vid. U lads are brilliant 👍👍👍👍

Thanks chaps. Want to get into pike fishing for a change from carping. Very helpful video. 👌

Another great tutorial I hope to put into practice tomorrow 😁

Solid unflappable advice. Wish Id had this in 1990, being ten years old on my tummy, on a river bank looking down at THE biggest fish id ever seen...

Great video lads. From Ireland 🇮🇪

Brilliant video thank you for making it so simple.

Great video lads

First time trying out Pike fishing today, didn't catch anything but a cold but I WILL BE BACK! Great vid again lads!

There's a type of disgorger for trebles that work on trace wire specifically for deep hooked pike, I got one online for about £6, they are awesome for deep hooked pike. Worth spending a few quid to protect the fish

Great advice

Great tutorial.

Just now finding your channel. Awesome videos and great tips!

Well done, very informative.

New fisherman here, getting ready to consider some pike fishing. This video was amazing, especially for the education on the hold and keeping the health of the fish in mind. Thank you!

absolute love iiiiiiT....GORGEOUS 😲

Nice work great vid thanks for putting it together very helpful!

Lure fishing is exciting for catching any fish, think about asp for example, if you have a light or ultra light fishing rod its super super

great video, just 2 small things to add, For anyone getting in to this fishing, in this video they made a leader so the pike wont break the main line with its teeth. you can buy steel leader that does the same and save yourself the work. second is with teeth and the grabbing, when pike are smaller then the ones caught in this video, it can be hard to hold them by the gill because your fingers will be much closer to the red gill plates which are extremely sharp as well. rapala makes a really good lip grabber, its plastic, so it wont cut the fish like the metal ones on the market, it'll keep your hands and the fish free from damage.

Thanks great video caught my first pike today

Great tutorial - thank you!🙏

Thank you for the tutorial 2 days ago I caught my first pike wich is also my pb because of you, on the lure and in 12 years old

Very cool! I am going to try that!

Thank you so much!

These are so helpful

I'm 10 years from Ireland I love pike

Love the content guys keep it up

Great video
