Do Monster Pike Still Lurk in the Forgotten Lake? 

Carl has caught more pike in this video, than we have in 6 years 🤦

I agree with the points about the decline of big pike but I think there’s another reason. The amount of lakes that have been netter to remove small fish, to allow carp to grow quicker has to play its part. Same goes for commercial match fishing venues, they don’t want pike eating their stock.

It doesn't count if there isn't an old bloke on the bank who says "You should have been here last week!" 😂

Brilliant Carl. Thanks for making an old man's day. I wish we had this in Australia. Reminds of my childhood fishing in England. First fish i ever caught at five years old was a small pike on the river loddon.

GREAT video! Hope to see some more of this style in the coming months

The second I saw a notification for one of your videos, I got super excited and rushed to get to it. Another amazing video. Keep up the amazing work! Looking forward to another one of your videos coming out!

Pike fishing is my favorite by far. Thanks for the video experience!

Brilliant watching and tactics Karl as always nice to see the 1st pike video this year times coming to get the gear out can't wait

Loads of action and fun fishing, nice one Carl. I miss the Pike fishing.

Really agree with your comments around the current state of the UK, but its not like the Gov invest much into keeping them safe and healthy, more focused on rinsing every penny out of us! Love the channel bro!

I'd love to see a Mortimer and Whitehouse fish with Carl cross over at some point

Love the videos, keep them coming!!! They just keep getting better!!!!❤❤

Great video Carl I loved watching this as I love the pike videos! Keep up the amazing work !

Spectacular video Carl. You have got to make a couple more visits to that lake. I smell a Winter Pike campaign coming.😉☺

Hello Carl, great video, and what a place, thanks for this mate, have a great weekend, and keem em coming.

Great start to the season! 🎉

Pike fishing here in the states is awesome. The St Lawrence River in the Fall is magical. Great video. We'll done!

Excellent film again, Carl. Hopefully, you'll catch the crocodile of the lake in the future. Thank you for all your time and effort in making these videos for us to watch.

Great content as always loved this episode

Carl when I was younger I was told the world record pike was in the lake where we used to camp / have a caravan. I always laughed thinking people always tell that story. We took a little boat on the lake and sat next to our boat was the biggest pike I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m 36 now and still never seen one so big. It looked like a crocodile below the water. This video brings back so many memories. I used to float fish that lake and was absolutely terrified I would catch / hook the monster.

Looks like a cracking spot. Nice start to my Sunday morning.

awesome stuff again Carl!

Absolutely feel your point on fish quality/quantity in recent years. We really need to take better care of our rivers. I tried pike fishing on a small carp lake and it produced some serious action, it's great fun and makes a welcomed change of pace to river fishing from time to time.

Hahaha I lived here when my dad worked there . He built the barn on the thumbnail. Many memories and photos there when I was little but I never caught a fish, I did try but I was only 4 or 5. Great to see it still being fished and the barn still standing

Love to see some variation in the videos and to see some pike! 👍

Loved it Carl - now I have to go look out my Pike gear and get fishing, thanks for the shove! Interestingly I have also caught a Tench on a dead bait - it was at one of the old brick work ponds at Burgess Hill many moons ago. I have also heard of people catching numerous Carp on deadbaits!

good to see you uploading thank you

Great bit of fishing Carl,lovely video to watch. Chilling 👍 loads of pike

I'm at F.l for a weeks fishing, arrived today, boat booked for the whole week, was here 2 years ago fishing near the jetti, first day in the first hr I had landed 15 pike! See what this week brings! Great video.

What a session!! 👌🏻 Very well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great video Carl, hope you have a great pike season. Had 2 good pike last weekend on a brown trout deadbate. Best pike was around 10lb mark, great fun 💪🐊✌️

Cracking video Carl 👍 hope you do a lot more pike videos over winter.. time for another monster 30 👍👍

Great video Carl it’s days like that.that makes us keep going 🐟🎣

amazing video, please do more pike videos in the future. I love them 😍

I wanna share a story from my childhood. It was many years ago, my father's friend brought a pike he'd caught in a local "lake" to our house to show us "the beasht". It was around 10 kilos, maybe a bit bigger.. It was longer than my leg, biggest one I've ever seen back then. He brought it in a plastic tub, filled with water.. He was in a small boat, lure fishing, had no strikes for hours, and then he caught a snag. He pulled the rod left and right, trying to unsnag the lure, when the snag suddenly started pulling him and the boat 🙂He was an experienced angler, and I still remember the look on his face while explaining how scared he was, because he didn't know what he'd caught, since there were "monsters" living in that water, huge pike and catfish... I don't remember how long it took him to bring the pike to the boat, as I said it was a long time ago. But that story I don't think I'll ever forget. When you're a kid, these kind of things leave a deep impression in your psyche. My biggest pike was around 4 kilos maybe, I had a few of those. Never bigger than that. Thank you for a fun video, packed with action, and reminding me of this story 🙂 👍 Cheers

Great sesh on a great looking venue. Loving the camo/black jacket aswell carl! 😂😂

Great video Carl. Would be great to have a series on pike fishing from the lake and with Ryan (if possible). You caught some great pike, but I do agree the days of hearing BIG pike getting caught is few and far between. Is it that people are keeping quiet or is it that the rivers and lakes are being polluted by the water companies and destroying stock etc 🤷🏼‍♂️ Keep up the content 👍

love your vids thanks carl

Lovely stuff buddy.

This came just at the right time. Im gearing up to go deadbaiting for pike for the first time this winter, just headed out to the tackle shop to grab all the trace and braid needed, then this pops up! Hopefully give the carp rods some use over the winter this time!

Another great video.I had a great pike day a few weeks ago they were feeding on worms ,and catching them on the pole was really good fun although I was intentionally fishing for tench .

1:10 in and im already like "Whaaaat?" Good to see you again mate! Great stuff already! it was SPECTACUL-..... SPECTATCU- .......it was spectacular

Thank you pike content is back

What a day, pike fishing Carl and to finish with the big one at the end of the day you can't beat fishing days like that awesome day out and a beautiful place to fish 🎣🎣🎣😁👏👍

Class video buddy nice too see you enjoying your fishing again m8

Worked on that lake for a couple of years. Amazing place, spotted some big fish. Great video, as always.

You dont know how lucky you are with this session bro . Fishing for pike last 3 years caught over 100 pikes but never that many at once . All the best you lucky Man 😂👏well done . Thank you for sharing that story with us 🏆🎣🎣🎣👊🏼

Love the fishing videos!!!

Great stuff Carl.

Great video - Thank you

Great video, thanks.

You have no idea how blessed you are with this much pikes 🙏👍

So glad you brought up the pollution problem it's getting out of control and we need to do more to stop these big companies getting away with it

Amazing video as usual!!❤❤❤

great video beautiful videos images and nice catches keep it up I always enjoy your videos

Pike are beautiful fish, I would love to catch some and can’t wait till I do so

You make my day Carl - thanks😂

Great vid, as always! Had 2 Jack Pike today. Never gets old 😎👍

Thank you Carl you have enspierd me to do fishing, thank you

Great video 👏

great content as always carl.

What a great video Carl. Your style of filmmaking is my favorite on RU-vid. As someone from Alberta, Canada, I only fish for pike, and would love to go in the UK someday.

Great video. Loved all the angles of filmography for the casting of the baits etc. Did Tom have a diving suit on? Ha ha

Yo Carl. You getting so good bro. Really nice video 👊

This is actually really cool I have fished this lake for several years and seen many giant pike. However this year I have struggled to catch any really to the point of giving up almost entirely, definitely starting again after that action. That sauna always has lots of pike near it once I saw a 25lb one come out from there. Another thing about this lake is in the last few years they have introduced otters much to the dismay of the anglers.

Cracking video n I'll be hitting my local river this winter for the pike hoping to catch a few as haven't really caught many in the past

Nice video Carl keep in going

Great pike mate you are a great inspiration to kids and even adults because you are a legend

Love the vids

My biggest pike was 19.5lb caught in a river one of the toughest fights I've had fishing with the current and the strength of the fish it took almost 30 minutes to get to the shore, I was knackered haha, but it was a beauty unfortunately this was back before everyone had mobile phones and we didn't have a camera with us so I never got a picture of it. Caught it on an old style spinning lure amazing fish.

lets see a lot more of omi and dani just enjoying fishing notin competion JOHN XX

Pike timeeeee 😊 can't wait to get back down the river

Well edited enjoyable video cheers

Excellent video! Most places I think the size of fish is decreasing due to pollution, habitat reduction, and am over prevalence of catch-and-release culture.

cant wait for pile fishing again

Great video again. Im sorting my pike gear out for next weekend session

Love your vids my main fishing is pike fishing love carps fishing to

Bro there next to none Pike left in my surrounding waters I used to hear stories of how many there were before, but they were over hunted and are quite rare nowadays... Yesterday I caught my first Pike in the last 6-7 years and even tho it was quite small it managed to make me happy even tho I had to put my cat to rest that day... Anyway, I love the videos, keep them up!

Pike fishing hasnt been my favourite but ill never forget the one i caught off the river wye 16 years ago 34 Lb 3 Oz of absolute muscle. Thoroughly enjoyed the vid carl keep up the great work your smashing it. Hope the family and the miss's are doing well also.

Wel done keep uk the piking content 👍

Deffo need to go back this place again if you can

Really enjoy the videos and variety of fishing. Nice to see pike videos as we move into the season but any chance of some sea fishing videos and tutorials. Would like to give it a go but don’t know where to start 👍🏻

Spectacullally 😂 Nice pike Carl! 🎣

oooh finally some pike fishing!

It's so nice watching you videos best days ❤❤

Class video again never seam to fail

Great session so many nice pike

The greatest daya pike fishing I had ever had was back in 2009 with a friend, we fished a feeder stream on one of the local estate lakes and managed no less than 22 pike between us that day

Checking in from the USA boys. Love the videos.

Love to see you take SnaggedBro to this lake!

Even though I live in the States ,I used to watch Mick Brown pike fishing videos. Just loved the color patterns on the U.K. pike.

I brought your merch, took the hat fishing and caught my first 30.9Pound Carp and 40 pound Catfish! And as always great video❤

Great days fishing lads.

Are you in Hampshire in the new forest?? And does your streaming videos cover your travelling around and fishing costs? Loved your video, have subbed and just about to like this vid and watch more!!

The best footage on RU-vid, bar none!!

Someone HAS to know where this lake is, absolutely dying for a decent pike

loved it bro

Well done Carl very nice video, Thank you

Pike are my favorite species to catch, so watching this video is so nice!

There's a forgotten lake (very large pond) in Adirondack Park, NY with Monster lake trout !! It's spring fed off 3 mountain tops its snuggled in. Cold water runoff by the springs is steady even in hot summer months. The stream that runs off the pond is beaver dammed spreading into a marsh. You drop a flasher with a 30"-36" mono leader on a #4-6 hook with a 1" worm on it. They'll trail and nip the worm so no longer than 1". It's non-stop catch and release off the kayack for me. ITS A HIKE getting in so me and my boys would bring a 2 night tent stay. MEMERIES MADE THERE. I taught my boys on Lake Champlain it's all about fishing "IF" you catch one it's icing on the cake. BUT HERE at this spot.....it's how many you get !!!
