Big momma!!🐊🐊🐊

Nice firecracker is a killer fly. Loop q set up also. Congrats

Excellent nice pike

insight - the 'fishy fishy' song is his secret 😆🤟

Nice video, very enjoyable and congrats on that Pike. For a better hook up, when you feel the bite, pull the line fully tight before lifting the rod tip, and at the start of the fight keep the line to the fish a straight as possible, bending the rod off to the side can turn the hook out of the Pike's mouth. Tight Lines.

Nice fish! Congrats pal 👏. I'm out on chew on Monday the 3rd October for the first day of the lure fishing season. Hopefully we get blessed with some monster pike! Wish us luck. Super video 👍🔥

Awesome mate well done! Great to see your passion for the sport 👍🏼

Fabulous fish. Really well done!

Nice!

Congratulations, some tips for improving your technique from a guy who fly fish for predators since 30 years. First try to learn the double haul, you will cast really easier and have a more straight cast (important to have a direct contact when your fly hits the water). If possible do not do any angle with your rod, the best retreive is directly straight especially for pikes. Finally, try (and I know it is difficult) to forget trout set. Pikes and zanders have extremely tough jaws and it is hard to push a hook inside. Have a perfect sharp hook, Second barbless (yes it is easy to strike with a barbless hook), and finally when you strip and feel the fish, try a strip set, you simply continue stripping until you feel the total mass of the fish, than you can lift the rod, but if the fish miss his attack, you have only move your fly of 30 cm not 1,50 m if you lift the rod. Another trick is when you feel the weight, you can do a double strike, strip set, you feel the fish, lift the rod firmly and if you have impression you have a to smooth set, set again. (The tarpon hunters do multiple sets before they begin the fight). Congratulations for your superb mama. She was clearly a fatty. All the best.

Well done son 😉

Not sure if you know or not but you can fight the fish on the reel and it's much easier! Nice fish man!

Well done and very nice fish. Nice water as well. 2 small tips........pauze longer after the backcast before starting the frontcast. It will improve your casting massively. Other tip...when stripping point the rod tip towards the fly. This way you have better contact and will not loose so much fish. Keep posting

What's the fly box at the start mate ?

Just imagine if he could cast

Might want to work on your casting technique buddy..not being a hater but it's like a video of how not to cast a fly line.
