Do Monster Pike Still Lurk in the Forgotten Lake?

[@SnaggedBro]

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

[@justinsteel6360]

[@gymbruh1824]

Doubles only bro

[@stena9737]

[@samuelgarrod8327]

My PB is 14,6. Caught on 6lb monofil while targeting Tench with worms. Btw, Tom and Sean/Shaun I've worked out how to remember who is who. Too tall Tom and So short Sean/Shaun. Love you chaps. Big ❤

[@ezedjay]

Nah they weren't doubles though. All yours are doubles.

[@Yosser70]

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.

[@samuelgarrod8327]

Once upon a time, all the biggest pike came from river systems. Undoubtedly carp fishing has had an effect on stillwaters but there MUST be 40+ers out there. 30lbers aren't exceptionally rare. With age comes wisdom, pike learn but forget when very hungry. Too many people seem to be more interested in instant gratification than putting the hours in. However, my PB is 14,6 caught on a Lobworm whilst hoping for tench. Good luck and tight lines to all. 👍

[@0ate5y]

14.6 nice

[@robertfoskett1016]

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.

Did you grow up around Reading? There's still some fantastic pike fishing around that area if you know where to look 😉I lived backing on to the Loddon 15 odd years 2 min walk to fish 🎣🎣

[@Andysfishing]

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

[@obscurazone]

We used to catch ginormous pike when we were kids fishing in our local river (the Wharfe in Tadcaster). They would feed on the chub and perch and were monsters! One pulled my pal off the bank and into the river once and (whilst being hilarious) it was actually terrifying, teeth like knives! But yes, over the years the pollution pumped in has killed everything off. There was an abundance of fish in that river, competitions along it all the time. Now you're lucky if you see a couple of anglers a year. Too depressing.

[@FisherH2020]

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!

[@StephanGanoff]

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

[@fishn365]

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

[@differentfins]

Same here in Canada, guaranteed action.

[@kubotwostringz]

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

Good story,My brother had the same experience fishing for bass,got off,later on he took a 14lber

[@aden7146]

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.

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.

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...

Anyway, I love the videos, keep them up!

[@paulgoodwin4084]

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.

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 !!!
