@@dalego3945 Then eat the smaller ones. Monsters like this are rare. If you kill and eat them you remove the possibility for other anglers to catch one.
@@johndoe4034 As far as I know, the bigger a pike gets the more it is inclined to eat carcass. Big pike gets lazy and it has learned how to get the easiest meal.
It's a Dead bait brother larger Pike get big because they're ambush predators and lying and wait for the food to come to them which makes them big up to 50 pounds in weight
The biggest pike I ever wrestled with was like 23 pounds, that thing has to be twice as heavy, and seriously has the girth of a Muskie. Thank you for releasing it back, something like that deserves to be returned back into its environment. One of the finest fighting fish there ever was or will be.
That's a monster fair pal man catch and release to enjoy another day when she's even bigger my mate just caught one 12 kg two weeks ago can't wait to get back out well done Pal
Some of the best underwater footage of pike catch I've ever seen! Awesome video guys. What kind of camera were you using ? Seems like a fishing line gopro or something
How long was that pike on for? Admittedly i have no idea how u were fishing but seemed like a reverse version of the floating rig where u tie on too an empty 2 liter and let it float around the lake and go get it in the morning. Im asking cause i was told prolonging a fight with a musky or pike make their muscles release an acid and they seem fine but literally swim off and die within a day. The video kinda seemed like u left that rig and came back too it. Not saying thats what u did just wondering
Fantastic catch!! I LOVE the underwater action cam and the angle of the video. What a treat, and that she went down to the bottom and took the bait like that... I would never had quess the nothern pike did that You should have had the opportunity to fish the local river where I am from in Norway. Me and a friend caught a 21,7 kg/ 47,8 Lb nothern pike a few years back. On the Savage Gear 3D Goby Shad fire tiger colour 🤗
Great fish there! I live in Saskatchewan and have yet to see a fish like that in person. I have heard of folks catchin some around that size up north though. Let me know if you end up around these southern Sask areas. Something tells me you'd be one hell of a guy to fish with. Anyway, great fish, great footage. Good for you!
Great fish! Not sure if you're still reading the comments, but don't worry about the dumbasses saying you handled her wrong. Any REAL fisherman knows that you did a great job handling that fish. Thanks for letting her go!
Hey ...first of all...awesome video...awesome fish....i am doing a Fishing Song over a Pike ... Can I use 5-6Seconds from your Video ? What kind of camera do you use ? Greatings from.germany
Its finished.... i think you cannot understand it,because its German,but i hope you will like it .... This is the link to the Video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9xmKA1Pcfp4.html Thank you 4 allowing me using your Content. Greetinx from Germany
Really interesting to see its attempts at picking the bait up. Do you think it was checking it out for hooks or just deciding whether it fancied that for tea or something different? Or even just struggling to pick it up in the way that it wanted to? Lovely footage. Couldn’t give a stuff how big it is, but well done regardless. 👍
@@whitelabelfishing it certainly looked that way didn't it. Seemed to use touch and feel rather than using sight, which is surprising considering how good their eye sight is and the clarity of water it is in. Lovely that it can grow to that size in a river as opposed to a trout stocked lake. UK population is so high that its rare for a fish not to have seen hooks and many don't live to see them ever again.
Fantastic fish, and say glad to see her swim off right as rain! So many idiots would have killed her as a 'trophy' fish! Thanks so much for releasing her! 😁
Greetings from down under. Nice underwater video footage. It's Got me thinking about how I can do this with a fly fishing video. Subbed you channel and looking forward to more. Cheers, Craig
I love me some deadbaiting !! 🤗 I like to pop up my baits... it makes for a much more positive "take" ... no messing around mouthing the bait on the bottom. That was a proper monster, do you use barbed, semi-barbed or barbless ? I use the semi-barbed to keep a decent hold on the deadbait... also .. if I'm trying for a long cast I'll use some bait elastic too ... 😏 my favourite deadbait is lamprey ... 😎👍☘🍺
@@waso778 Yeah, I am Norwegian, but lived in Sweden for 8 years. I fished a lot of pike when I lived there. In the place I lived, there was a story about a huge pike that was caught in 1974. An elderly man caught the pike in a net, but it was so big and heavy that he had to gut and fillet it on the spot, so he could carry it home. When he came home, he weighed both the fillets and they was 26 kilos. 26 kilos just the fillets, without the head, guts and bone...That pike must have been enourmous. The day after the pike was caught, a "search party" went to the place where he caught the pike, to try to find the head, guts and bone so they could get a total weight of the pike. But they didn't find anything, it was probably eaten or taken away by wild animals. (Sorry for bad English, I did my best.)
Looks like a vicious whopper!! Is that a goPro you using to film the footage? I’m looking at different goPro options at the moment and would love advice as to which one would be best for fishing 😃
Its incredible. The fish is all angry before it took the bait....then it waa fear and disbelief as it knows its fucked. Very human emotions. Nearly felt sorry for it.
