A person must be baptized to be saved, but it has nothing to do with water. The proof is found below. Eating Kosher is not unbiblical, but it is not required under the New Covenant. Circumcision of male children is not unbiblical, but it is not required under the New Covenant. Trimming your beard according to the Law of Moses is not unbiblical, but it is not required under the New Covenant. Water baptisms were a part of the Old Covenant, but they are not required under the New Covenant. The proof is found below. John baptized with water. Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit. Which one is related to salvation, based on Romans 8:9? . Heb. 9:10 (YLT) only in victuals, and drinks, and different baptisms, and fleshly ordinances-till the time of reformation imposed upon them . (Old Covenant ------> New Covenant) . Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, (What is the one baptism of our faith here, based on Eph. 1:12-13, and 1 Cor. 12:13?) . Eph 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, . 1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 1Co 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. . Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. . Act 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. Act 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. . Act 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. Mar 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (See Mark 1:8.)

[@Spike-sk7ql]

For a lot of others, it's the only way to fish. Park the boat, drop a line over, and lay back and wait for the walleye to come. The wind and current will even take you over where you wanted to be. Then just drive the boat back to the starting spot, and pull in another 5 walleye.

As a life long pike fisherman I learned a few things about pike 1- there are days pike just does not feed 2- pike natural bail is the best bait . 3- moving bail always beats the static bait . That is why you catch more pike with spinning lure than dead baiting . Of course life baiting is a a very killing method too. In the winter on a lake find a sunny shallow spot that sun is shining at and if there is a pike about they will be there . Pikes love the sun in the winter.Your underwater video was brilliant… thanks for that

[@orestwitiw213]

From Northern Ontario where Pike abound this was an excellent video on how pike react as they get ready to strike. I’ve been lucky to have caught pike ranging from 20-29 pounds. I work in a fishing tackle store and I tell my customers that pike prefer dead bait. Dead bait gives them time to size up their next meal. Nothing beats a dead bait under a float for pike fishing. I still get a thrill as the bobber dances on the surface then plunges under as the pike hammers the bait! Awesome underwater video I really enjoyed it!

[@plutobottles8561]

Fellow Northern Ontario boy (live in TO now but still pike hunt on Lake Ontario) Whats your favorite spot? I love Nighthawk Lake and Lake Abitibi for monster pike. PB is 32 pounds on Abitibi on the rive below the dam in Iroquois falls

[@orestwitiw213]

[@ollialanko699]

Seems they do not😅 Maybe there's lots more fish than we think down there. Great footage!

[@Interdiction]

That fish was caught 20 + times . It is getting tired of being caught and is now learning

[@juliogonzo2718]

I think it is because the bait is stationary. If it thought the bait was swimming away I think it would be more inclined to strike. I saw a weird interaction between a cat and a pigeon one time. The cat was aggressively approaching the pigeon and clearly wanted to jump it, but the pigeon just slowly walked away every time the cat got close. It approached the bird probably 5 times over 2 minutes but did not attack. The cat was not seeing an expected fear response in its prey and didn't know what to do.

[@MrBottlecapBill]

@@juliogonzo2718 Could be that, predators don't like prey that are not afraid because they may be dangerous prey. Or as interdiction said, it's been caught before and learning plus there is a camera in the water and fish know their surroundings, that may also scare them off. They're also familiar with their normal prey and neither of those bait fish really belonged.....which could be another red flag for a predator.

[@znail4675]

@@juliogonzo2718 Yeah, the stationary bait doesn't trigger the immediate bite response that a moving bait would. I am used to fishing pike with lures that simulate moving fish and pikes are very eager to nab anything moving that looks like something they eat.

[@MrLapin-LL]

I’m from Canada and I ice fish for pikes. Even if water is colder, it’s pretty the same conditions: cold water, slow-ish pikes. I have the same result as you do: best results (by far) are with a dead bait, lying very close or straight on the bottom. I usually set my bait 6-12 inch (15-30cm) of bottom. Even half of a big dead bait works. But the key things are really big dead baits, no action/mouvement. It was pretty cool seeing these shots! Great video!

[@Munakas-wq3gp]

[@MarkGardiner-g2y]

Another great video showing fish behaviour. Although the Pike fishing is different in Scotland (we don't have pike in rivers and have only a small handful of canals, we have to fish lochs, casting further and in deeper water) the fish behaviour is the same (I presume)() This video has helped and got me thinking. Cheers 👍

[@tomlindgren4497]

Amazing to see how the last pike, with a "gulp", scoops the dead bait from the bottom. A real baller! Nice vid as usual man!

[@clamsoup]

That was super educational. The pike moves in the water the way a hummingbird moves through the air. Forward, sideways, and reverse. I think they like moving targets the best because they are athletes.

[@crenaud590]

Here in Southern Ontario, Canada, we fish for Pike and Muskie using LIVE minnows, very large minnows. And the bait is presented LIVE, not dead. Pike are not carrion eaters, they are hunters.....they want LIVE BAIT. So, even if your bait fish has died, hook it just under the top fin, and jig it occasionally, to give it the appearance that it is alive. You will get must better more often bites and catch far more.

[@mikebromelow8514]

I'm a southern Ontario guy too and while I agree with your statement in general, of the thousands of pike I've caught over many years, the biggest was ironically caught fishing a dead perch as bait from a dock at night as a kid! Just cast it out beyond the drop off, out the rod in the dock pole and wait! Caught many huge Bowfin doing that as well!

[@Gettrying101]

I agree better luck live with northern then dead but big ones like dead or alive

[@bushinc.]

I hope you know using live bait is illegal in Zone 16. I already contacted the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, thanks for giving all the proof.

[@alltmisc]

Not trying to be a party killer here, but remember live bait is cruelty. Use dead bait and jig it. Most of us fish for sport anyway, no need to torture fish when sporting.

[@Tribalsanne1984]

Live bait is ilegal here in the Netherlands. Dont like it myself either. Good law

[@rerdavies2]

When fishing for Canadian pike, we use large red and white spoons (3 to 6"). Pike will hit anything that's red very aggressively. I've had the privilege of fishing in absolutely untouched waters in deep Canadian wilderness (pulled a canoe up a small stream to a lake off the main canoe route, about 150km from closest civilization). Four or five casts, every fifty feet or so along the shore would get reliable hits pretty much every time. Catch one; move 50' down the shore; catch another. Pike are territorial, so they space out at 50' intervals. The thought of waiting an hour for a pike to hit seems kind of bonkers to me. I would be surprised if English pike are significantly different from Canadian pike. A fishing guide told me that even tying a bit of red cloth on the tail of a non-Pike lure will get results.

This fresh water fishing channel has 💯 got the best content such a choice of different stuff fantastic 👌

[@mergru6371]

It's a really good channel with for me perfect content. However, there are some creators like Fish with Carl (and Alex) or Jon B. who have made (especially the longer) videos that are true works of art when it comes to filming, presenting and editing. Chris' channel is not on that level, yet. But hey that's just my two cents.

[@Bo88y22]

@@mergru6371I’ve been watching both creators for years and they both create for different purposes. Indeed, Carl launched a new channel to compete with Chris’ of the day to day angler vibe rather than the epic over edited films of the old Carl and Alex genre. The ginger fisherman takes you along to the bank and gets the action we all want to see in real time. I appreciate sometimes that it is filmed over more than one session and long sessions at that but we are there all the while. Some of the smaller channels are really interesting. Lured by Esox’s is a brilliant hybrid of both types. Sean and Catherine take you along and also produce cracking films. We see the problems with some creators DB fishing being one. Basically too much casting and retrieving in go pro with very little "B roll”. I take into consideration that all of these guys don’t like to advertise their locations for obvious reasons but too many close shots are boring. As long as good creators keep producing what is interesting I’ll keep watching.

[@chrissurovic3543]

they dont want dead bait, throw live bait in there and i bet they would strike almost immediately, they dont want a free meal, they are mean and are triggered to strike out of aggression, the dead bait doesnt activate that instinct

[@chrismcbrias4681]

I agree same when they follow a lure in a couple of time change the lure and normally they take it

[@initman01]

Pike have really good vision, so my guess is he could tell the difference between the mackerel and the roach, also predator fish do prefer to hunt so the roach being hole could have helped if he thought it might be alive. fascinating video to watch, i watched some guy put a live fish in a see through cube and place that on the bottom of the lake, and the pike was going mental for it and kept striking the cube trying to get the fish.

[@robertalker652]

As a Yank working in Germany, my friend and I traveled yearly for 7 years straight to the northern tip of Loch Lomand in the town of Ardlui to fish for pike. What we did differently to other enthusiasts who were there doing same is that we purchased about 200 live trout at 50p a pop from a fish nursery some distance from Ardlui and aerated them in the back of van in big plastic barrels like mad, and probably had about 170 alive by the time we got back to the Loch. We always caught many more and much bigger fish than those who were using dead baits. Me and my mates pulled some giants from that Loch and the locals were all for it as we were doing our bit to safe-guard the other more important species in the Loch.

My dad, brother and I would go to Ontario in late Summer/early Fall every year to fish the multitude of privately owned small lakes surrounding Algonquin Provincial Park. Small mouth bass and speckled/rainbow trout were always on the list. Often a guide friend of ours would take us to naturally unstocked lakes which were on farmers' private uncultivated land. Well hidden by forest land from trespassers (who kept every fish they caught regardless of legal size or limit); Northern Pike lakes always provided us the most fun and most beautiful, naturally reproduced fighting fish. We always saved the best of the keepers for the farmers, in addition to some cash. They simply never had the time to fish their own pristine lakes. I had never seen canal fished Pike, and I certainly had never seen a Northern Pike, at least, eat dead fish. Live frogs, large minnows, perch and rock bass (or crappies as they are also known) were the only non-artificial, live bait we saw or used ourselves. Lures were used 75% of the time. The Pike must be ravenous in the wintertime to act like this. Thanks so much for a very educational and informative vlog.

[@lancenutter1067]

I know that (as a commercial fisherman, for Salmon etc, in Alaska,) fish are extremely sensitive to electrical current. A lot of time and effort is put into ‘tuning’ the trolling boats to have the right current. The lines going into the salt water are stainless, and the boat and salt water become a giant battery. All sorts of different things have been tried over the years, but if the current isn’t right, the boat won’t fish as well. I wonder if those pike were picking up the electrical currents from the Camera? Good video. Sure do love fishing!

[@ihcterra4625]

Depends on the mood the fish are in. Specially with pike. I have found pike that would sit and watch a bait for minutes before taking it gently. I have also had pike knock a trolling lure out of the water, striking it so aggressively they would damage it. Sometimes when bait casting, they hit the lure as soon as it touches the water. Sometimes they would follow it up to the boat and you would have to pause the retrieve about 10 feet out, so they would strike. The best skill to learn is fishing the way the fish want the bait presented for the season, temp, water clarity, air pressure etc.

Up until around 1995 pike was so plentiful in the baltic sea, that you almost didn't consider pike fishing actual fishing. They were everywhere! No particular skill was aquired, just buy a fishing pole and a couple of simple lures, and you were guaranteed to catch about five an hour. Now? Pollution from agriculture and industries have killed it. We had pike for dinner twice a week. Now, the kids do not even know they are edible 😂

it would be interesting seeing how pike react to a livebait in the cooler weather

Great filming and narration, I could watch these types for hours. Maybe test the effectiveness of injected oils, moving the dead bait to entice a reaction and side by side baits to see what gets most attention in what type of setting? 👍👍

Just stumbled across your channel, and what an interesting and fun look at pike behavior and fishing. No denying their predatory nature. Well done and thanks.

That's crazy that you got northern pike in those canals in the UK right in town. I had no idea they were there until today. Learned something new and enjoyed the video.

[@maxheadroom7687]

Excellent video mate! Never seen them feeding underneath the surface, so interesting so let’s have more please!👍🇦🇺🙏

[@ajadrew]

I'm no fisherman but this is facinating to watch!

[@PiperX1X]

Excellent buddy enjoyed every minute of this, just wish I was fit enough to get out and enjoy my past time again.

[@samisilander9305]

Absolutely wonderful! Going to try it in the forthcoming spring.

[@KRColson]

Absolutely great videos! Really interesting to see how the pike react to these baits. Thank you.

Hey Chris, absolutely stunning footage. You can learn so much when watching the pike's behaviour when approaching deadbaits. ---> 10 points from Belgium :-)

Please do one of these videos with a kebab rig. Something that i personally find alot of success with on pressured venues and not seen very often. Would be interesting to see how the pike react to it. Usually use mackerel for it.

Great video ! Pretty cool watching them that close up, Love my Northern Pike I should be heading to the lake in a couple weeks :) They don't get that big here I mostly catch 15-20lb ones unless I head out on the big lake then 35-40lbs a little more fight :)) Best taste really is one that is only 5-8lbs, Good fishing !

[@djgremlin5830]

your underwater footage is what drew me to you Chris mate .. been following for about 2 years now .. love your vids

[@roofingcontractors3349]

Pikes camouflage is so gd you barely see it till last second approaching, great footage

[@derekboehninganderson5209]

love the footage. subscribed. I"m a US transplant currently in Germany and we don't use a whole lot of dead bait back in the states so I'm learning and trying to adjust my techniques.

Pikes ability to spread it self to different waters is kinda insane, nature is a genius, making eggs sticky that will stick to birds and then be released in other waters. fascinating but a very vicious fish those pikes, but they do taste fantastic!
