Fishing TROPHY PIKE in MINNESOTA! 

Amen 🙏🏼

❤️

Amen brother God bless you

Great verse!

You've just become my favorite fishing RU-vidr

I’m sure I’ll see you again soon. Every day is very different, some days I find em some days I don’t. I hope you catch a big one soon! Good luck

Haha it sure is, I’m so glad I landed the fish and was able to show it to you :)

Thanks so much

The cheap Plano case is awesome, great price and keeps the baits safe, even if they are all around $20-$50 I want them protected. Thanks for watching

Look into a kayak, this is my first full year with a boat and before this I kayak fished all the rivers. But a cheaper sit on top and install a trolling motor mount and you can go pretty much anywhere!

Go to my insta and send me a dm and I’ll give you my number, next time I’m gonna long drive to a fishing spot or trip we can talk over the phone about YT, sound good? Ans thanks haha, it takes a lot of time to find the big ones.

Hey thanks so much sir

Thanks so much

Hey thanks so much, I’m big on fish safety but I do wish I had the girth just for the replica haha. I’m glad you enjoyed. Your the best

It sure is fun, people always call me crazy when I throw big baits. I pulled up to 20 boats up by the dam and chucked my 9 inch glide and let me tell you, every single one of those boats turned and looked at me after they heard the splash 😂😂😂

You know it, where there is walleye and smaller fish there will be aggressive pike, exspeically shallow or by a creek that runs into a river or lake. Thanks for watching

Thanks so much Eric

Hey bro especially for a spinning reel the max I personally think you should be using for big pike is 15 you casting with get really grainy after that you just need your drag set, a net, and know how to properly fight a fish and your good your line won’t snap just don’t use 30lb line imo

A steel leader is good thought in my opinion

With pike and musky letting them fight isn’t the best thing to do, especially musky letting them fight can kill them. I always run heavy gear to get the fish in fast and not tire them out

@@NASPELTZ ok true I just fish mostly in st Lawrence river where there is mostly pike and it’s rare to catch musky but thank you for correcting me

this advice is really good for me from you so I can keep the fish that I catch healthy and not even close to death thank you :) and also Naspeltz your my fav RU-vidr I watch you every dya

Hey thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed :)

😂😂😂

Thanks so much

Thanks so much Keith, I’m glad you enjoyed

@@NASPELTZ 👍👍

I’m sure you’re going to get your big one, it’s not easy, I’m out there everyday and have lots of zero fish days. Just wait you’re gonna get the big one. Thanks for watching

Heyy thanks so much man

Hey thanks so much

Sure is!!

Hahah you guys were awesome, im happy you were there to celebrate with me. I decided just to grab by hand than risk hurting the fish with a walleye net.

Thanks so much!!!

Hey thanks so much!!!

God bless to you as well

Haha I’m glad you like it, it’s a mullet in training, give it some time 😂

it’s not bad it actually looks good compared to some of the mullets I’ve seen. I play hockey so I’ve seen my fair share of mullets

mustache is magnificent as well lol

Thanks so much

Hey thanks so much

Yessir

Thanks so much :))

@NASPELTZ we have large pike here in the United Kingdom and that's a fish that's easily up there with them. Interesting fact is we weigh them rather than measure their length before release. Though I think your way gives a better indication. Tight lines.

@rabadabadoo491 I’m working on getting a tripped plan to go fish pike in the UK, it’s been on my bucket list for a very long time. I don’t like weighing them because I don’t want to hold them vertical, is there a way you guys do it that is safer for the fish? I also like to learn new things. What’s your pb pike? I’d love to know

@NASPELTZ so my pb is 25 pound which is a decent fish but not huge. We count anything over 20 as a good trophy. 30's are massive and a 35+ really is a mega pike! Fish welfare is really important to us as well. So we use unhooking mats and then a sling to weigh them. It's a bit like a hammock to support them horizontal. We have two main styles okpike fishing here. Bank fishing with dead baits, where we will fish several rods baited with dead fish and stay in the say swim for long periods, waiting it out. Lure fishing, similar to you guys but the boats generally aren't any where near as nice. Some people also use longer rods and fixed spool reels rather than baitcasting multipliers One other fun fact is we all use what you generally call left handed reels. That way we fish with the rod in our dominant hand and don't need to switch it.

I’m on the Mississippi River!

Absolutely, thanks for watching

Hey thanks so much for watching SP, go catch that big tiger musky now!!!

Hey thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed man, I was gonna say Howie but I’m guess that’s not your real name cause howie dewitt is a meme 😂

@@NASPELTZ Howard is my name, lol

@ThisisHowieDewitt777 oh haha

Thanks Carl

Hahaha come on out man, I’m always on the water

@@NASPELTZ currently in panfish mode!

@DWSOutdoors panfish are a blast

Thanks so much

Good to see you as well

Hey man, I hope you get into some giants this summer. The season is not open for inland water yet so you can not target pike even if you plan to do catch and release. In this video I’m fishing border waters. It is the Mississippi River in between Minnesota and Wisconsin. This allows me to fish pike year round here. If you live in the southern half of Minnesota I’d recommend coming on down to pool four and targeting some pike. If you live in the top half of Minnesota I’d give the rainy river a try that borders Canada. Shoot me a reply and I can try to give you some spots I’d recommend based on where you live. I hope you catch a pike even bigger than the one I caught today :)

I’m out on the Mississippi River, where it is year round in SE MN

I’m out on the Mississippi river where it’s legal to target pike in Minnesota. It’s a border water with Wisconsin. I would never intentionally target a species out of season let alone post a video. Last thing I want is for kids to think It’s fine to not follow fish and game laws :( thanks for the heads up though. Have a great rest of your night man!!!

If you watch just one of Nathan’s videos you would know he’s never going to break rules while fishing. I believe some RU-vid fishermen follow the rules because they have to if they want to have a camera strapped to them. Nathan follows the rules because he respects EVERYTHING about fishing, with or without a camera.

@@NASPELTZ Yea i was just saying cause alot of people i know have got in trouble for just6 casting lures for anything before opener

@@BT1919 yea i know nathan in person he is really nice and would never break rules but game wardens are kinda strict here for some reason

@theee2933 I get that

Thanks so much Brian :)

I’m on the river

@@NASPELTZ got it

Do you not know regulations, coming at me and not even knowing Minnesota regulations is wild. In the first 16 seconds of the video I said I was on the Mississippi River in Minnesota…

It’s linked in my bio

41!

41

I was actually in Pyongyang, North Korea

@@NASPELTZ why did he say u we’re in Minnesota and thanks for the like and reply

Plzz

@user-ve4zp6df9v it was a joke. Ya I was in Minnesota just not grand rapids haha

Send me a picture of it to my insta dm and I’ll send my address through there

@@NASPELTZ will do

You just need accept my invite… I just send you dm in insta. You will get pictures after as well

@bujaxx awesome I will do right now

Thanks Evan

Bass pro swerve

Thanks my guy

Heyy

Only 41 but super fat making it my new pb 🎉

@@NASPELTZ only 41 lol! That's way bigger then my pb

Haha I didn’t mean it that way, 41 is a giant for sure, exspecially for the Mississippi River, I was just meaning that it looks bigger that that but it wasn’t. Just a chunky fella

Yes

How 😂

No. No it’s not 😂

What are you talking about

I'm pretty sure it isn't illegal as you catch and release

You can’t target big game fish during non big game fish season unless it’s different in Minnesota in Wisconsin we can catch and release bass but can’t target pike or Muskie

And yes I just looked at the rules for pike and it says that you can’t target them from march to may

Nobody likes you

Why is that a reason to not watch the video?

Everyone has their own beliefs and I respect that, if you don’t want to watch a video about fishing because of a Bible verse in the comments than that is your choice. Enjoy the rest of your day :)

@@hawkonfishing John 3:19-21 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
