[@ralphtravis1960]

I used to ice fish and was always taught to jig very slowly in cold water as fish are lethargic during these times. But really enjoyed the underwater video. May have to start fishing again.

[@RogueStatusX]

99% of the time pike don't want anything moving slowly in cold water - i will catch pike on a deadstick or when jigging for perch but when i bought an underwater cam i noticed that the amount of times i actually caught a pike on deadstick/slow jigging was 1 to 10 compared to when i was making noise or jigging with a big spoon/rapala looking for walleye. in the summer i catch untold amounts of "hammer handles" just fishing a worm or minnow off a bobber trying for gills and crappies

[@mikewilson631]

Agreed. You can see that the perch and pike are intrigued but not interested in attacking until the lure slows down. Too vigorous and too fast.

[@23bushman23]

This was so humorous. Dang fish !!! Thanks cool camera setup

[@BryanProkuski]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed.

[@colingoode3702]

Really good underwater video. It seems to me that you need to add a wire trace with a snap link to the end of your line to prevent being bitten off. Traces are a standard setup for most Pike anglers where I'm from (UK).

[@BryanProkuski]

Yes they were this day

[@justaniceguy8333]

Fascinating Video in many ways as someone who frequently fishes Pike, Bass and Perch. It does affirm some of my experience. When bass typically strike, they hit hard fast and generally will not get off the hook, Pike seem more almost casual in their approach. I use spinners a lot and rarely will a bass become unhooked because when they hit they bite hard. Pike are hit and miss and I lose a number just because they only passively strike and the one hook sometimes does not set well. Watching this video seems to confirm that experience. I was blown away by the size, on video some of those fish looked fairly big, but when you brought them up, they were much smaller then I expected. Still interesting though.

[@mikejunt]

This is because bass, perch, and panfish are all suction/inhalation feeders: they don't have teeth, and they usually swallow their prey whole, as they feed by taking a sudden gulp, creating a sharp inflow of water that pulls the prey into their mouth. Pike are toothed fish who rely on their bite to kill their prey and may bite it into pieces if it's too large, so they don't need to inhale the prey. Pike teeth are not patchy and are quite sharp; you can catch them ice fishing because you're a lot more likely to get the hook straight in their lip, but in other seasons you pretty much always need a wire leader as they can easily bite the line off as the first pike does in this video. I've had pike hit smaller fish that I was reeling in and ended up bringing them in with a mouth-shaped imprint of tooth marks on the body.

[@Angry.General1461]

12:29 The Pike is like NOPE!!!😂😂😂

[@chris_2714]

I hate losing lures to pike slicing through your line. I usually switch to using a steel leader once I see that the pike are really active but it still sucks to lose a brand new or favourite lure at first!

[@TheDonnyOne]

always use 60lb braid and a pike trace leader

[@MC-ml3cn]

[@mattmilauskas5727]

lol the Bass was like... 'sure, why not'

[@ikesquirrel]

A quick strike rig is the way to go. I have a few places where I use live bait and being able to set the hook right away is good.

[@BindeeVangFishing]

[@BryanProkuski]

Awesome Bindee! It's a game changer for sure. You will learn a lot too with it. Bet you are loving it. Thanks man!

[@crazycooterMN]

That's what I thought was gonna happen, tying the line through the spoon would be good if you were using a short leader of 20 or 30lb braid tied to a barrel swivel to eliminate twisting, then whatever you have spooled. Tie in a barrel swivel about a foot above your jig/ hook to guarantee the elimination of twist. Also, let em peel and put your tip way down in the water in thick ice, the edge of the ice will cut mono as fast as a tooth.
