This Big Urban Canal Pike Needed My Help!

Well i was supposed to be hitting the local river on this day to target some big perch, but after i received a message about a pike in need of a little help I decided to change my plans. I hit the canal in search of a pike with line and a float rig trailing out of its mouth. The plan was to use the easiest cheat method (live baiting) to ensure the capture of the pike to be able to remove the rigging and release her to be able to live safe and comfortably without a mouth of hooks and line. This is how it went.

I'm very impressed that you were fishing for one specific fish and caught it. Very glad you were able to save her. Pike can live for 20-25 years, so you really did a great thing.

@scheers100 3 года назад

That is the mindset of a real fisherman. (The person noticing that pike and you removing the hooks/lines). Well done!

Made my day watching this. 40 years ago when I was an ill-equipped teenager I caught a strong and healthy looking fine specimen of a pike by mistake and after a big fight, he got away with my hook and 10 pound line in his mouth. I still feel the guilt but this clip has reduced some of my guilt even though it would be a different pike.

That was just fantastic to watch and your planning was brilliant. Keep the fish mostly in water and then work on it in spurts as quickly as possible. Great video, again!

@tonyashton780 3 года назад

Forgot to add for all newbies or beginners to predator fishing buy a steel protection glove and some long nose pliers/forceps and some heavy duty metal/wire cutters until you gain more experience these items are Essential!Also try simpler fishing techniques like drop shotting or soft body lures and livebaiting with Single Hooks.Even deadbaiting can be successful with a single hook rig like Catfish rigs but on a wire trace.Dont be frightened of cutting rigs/wires to safe guard pike you can buy more LOOK AFTER YOUR PIKE PLEASE?
