Fishing for BIG Pike with Glide Baits | BE BETTER!

Fishing for BIG Pike is still one of my favorite things to do even though I do not get to do it as often as I would like. To me Pike are just pure fun, they are big and mean! They see themselves of the Alpha Dog in any water body they are in and are scared of nothing!

[@NickLindner]

"Treat them like predators, and you'll catch them like predators" is actually super accurate 😆 Give them a small, finesse livebait presentation, and they'll grab your bait soft and gently. Rip a large artificial bait across their face, and they'll absolutely smack it. They 100% will match your energy.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

So true man!! So true!!

[@joshbraun3743]

The fact you want to make better videos when you have some of the best fishing content out there shows why you are one of the greats man…another great pike video!

[@mattbrown7483]

Clayton, I watch you for several reasons. The number one reason is you are real. By that I mean you know fishing and you love it, but you stay humble. You share your knowledge and love of fishing in a personal way. Your specialty is that you are just one of the guys. I feel like you're a best friend (although we haven't met) and not someone who's just trying to sell me something. Your live chat sessions are among the best out there because you actually interact with your followers. You sit down and have a few drinks with us, answer our questions, and spend your time with us and we laugh together. Every successful KZbin creator is different, which is good. Just do you, and you will be fine. Always trying to improve or be better is a great characteristic and I think you have come a long way since I first found your channel. keep it up big guy...!!!

[@tjsguideservice]

Love that mentality! Never be satisfied. Why you’re one of the best! Also, catching giant fish doesn’t hurt 😂

[@sammyboy199777]

You have one of the best channels on YT. But you said it during the video, you haven’t caught a crappie/bluegill or other species. That’s what casual viewers and dedicated ones would love to see!! You going out and learning something new yourself that you can teach us at home. Of course we wanna see you catch fish in the beautiful outdoors, but we also wanna learn from you! We can learn together👍

[@pokstermania]

Great video Mr. Schick. Your passion and knowledge is inspiring. Soft or hard water we learn every episode. Love when you have guests and compete. Change nothing and represent.

[@jasonjacobsen2519]

Clayton don't give up on Clayton stay Clayton Be Clayton we love Clayton in Minnesota that's for dang sure sir... We think your videos are amazing or blessed that you share them with us and just expect us to keep watching no matter what you do sir

[@konopelskifarms]

Clayton. What an absolute 44” Sow. Those big ones are so cool to see and catch. What a great fish. Thanks for the pike video. We are heading to north SK end of July to catch some slobs on the Haultain system. Can’t wait. Next the videos are awesome my favourite things are: 1. Good clean content even little kids can watch. That is so important and hope you keep that up. You definitely have a young audience who follow you closely (especially in my house) 2. Quality fish 3. Quality instruction 4. You have great equipment for filming (sure you could sink 50k into crazy fancy video stuff but I don’t think the return would be all that much) some of the best KZbinrs have simple set ups 5. Bloopers (dropping lunch down the ice hole for example) keep leaving the funny slip ups in. Shows people you are just a regular fisherman who happens to film what he does 6. Q&A ask Dr Donkey is great would keep that up 7. Give aways are awesome. Keeps people curious. I know that’s not an easy thing to do always but adds a fun dynamic 8. Clay vs …… those are always entertaining 9. Respect of the fish. You have taught me a great deal on how to handle and release the big ones 10. Respect of the water and fellow anglers. Good lesson in today’s video. Hope that helps. Can’t wait for the next video. Hope to meet you in person some day. Keep the intro please please “Well what is going on” classic. Two thumbs up. Keep them coming.

[@canadianmeatpie8245]

Sorry for the long post but here it is take it or leave it lol I always enjoyed your videos Clayton, you've always caught giants and you seem like a very humble dude. Better videos, i will say from my personal opinion, i tune into fishing content to educate myself. I dont have the ability to fish every weekend, and so keeping up with content creators keeps me learning even when im not out there. Aaron Wiebes videos have always been great in this regard as well. The last few years since FFS came out have been a little different, for those who use FFS im sure they love the new content. For me personally fishing videos became much less educational and less enjoyable with the content creators using FFS. What i liked about videos before FFS is they used technologies that weren't cheap by any means, but most anglers could afford a small screen unit that had SI, DI and mapping technologies. FFS is 5x the cost of these units, and so right out the gate content creators aren't teaching anything to a large % of anglers because a lot of people just cant throw $5000 at a fishing unit. Further, the content using FFS doesnt give you any knowledge you can take out onto the water, because absent the FFS you wouldnt know many of the fish being caught were there in the 1st place. Instead of reading your landscape and bottom structure you look for fish 1 by 1 on FFS and its just not educational or very exciting anymore. Dont get me wrong i know guys like you, Jay and Aaron obviously still analyze mapping and side imaging to find structure that hold fish. But once on a spot FFS seems to take over. Ill admit ever since the FFS technology came out i have been torn on it. I grew up in the 90s, and every piece of technological advancement since then has been awesome and i have embraced everything that has come out to make fishing more fun and more enjoyable. FFS just never sat right with me, it seems to take something away from fishing, call me old school but i dont want to know exactly where the fish are 40ft away from the boat, i still love the unsuspectedness of a bite when casting baits. Obviously for jigging and ice fishing its a bit of a different story, ice fishing without these technologies wouldnt be as popular as it is, and so im less torn over live sonar when it comes to ice fishing. Some of the best content now is content that isnt just fishing, but adventure thrown into the mix. Camping on an island for 4 days and trying to catch your dinner, or portaging into back lakes to fish untouched waters. Obviously content like 39 hours is just the best of what you can get in the fishing world, that series was truely one of the funnest fishing content videos you can watch on KZbin. If the videos are fishing focused as yours usually are, you already do a great job, but education education education, maybe with a little less FFS lol Keep up the great work Clayton, im just one guy with an opinion, i love your content and always watch every new video!!!

[@Jigstickfishing]

This is what I’m talking about! Just you and the wilderness hammering big fish! Great video Clayton!

[@gregporth356]

I think your content is pretty darn good the way it is. I completely understand you wanting to keep progressing. Whatever it may be or look like in the future, we will be here supporting it 🤙🍻

[@gregkruesel2999]

"People are.....people" Amen Clayton, I feel that!

[@michaelschenk5791]

The drone shot showing the movement of the glide bait was awesome.

[@theeverydayfisherman3905]

Buddy, your videos are great! There's always room for improvement, but your style is so real and relatable. I feel like you would just be a cool dude to share a boat with. Keep doing what you're doing, it's working!

[@steveon12]

the underwater camera when the fish is up by the boat is pretty cool

[@douglaswhitcomb9729]

Awesome video and fish. 100% agree with you on giving other boats a wide berth and I slow to a no wake speed if it’s a confined area.

[@andrewpiotrowski1384]

Huge fan of everything you do! Things that I really like about your channel: 1.Your enthusiasm for Big Fish and the Outdoors and fish handling. 2. The knowledge that you drop and the way that you drop it. I like the subtle knowledge where you have to pay attention to the fine details of your videos. 3 Livescope footage, Underwater footage, drone footage anything to enhance the catch. 4. I really enjoy the competitive side of your fishing channel be it vs Carter or Jay or Cindy I think it makes for great KZbin content. I would say variety is the spice of life and I appreciate how you are always catching walleye and pike and lakers in a variety of ways. I know you have targeted Tarpon and Groupers and smashed it in Florida I think new species and trips throughout Canada and the states would be better for your channel and re visiting some species you have had success with in the past Carp, Stock trout, Cats. I would love to watch you chase a new PB every video of a new species or exotic species. ( Constructive criticism. I Know we all don't have Jay money. lol)

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Love having this kind of feedback :). I appreciate you taking the time as always. I still have some search baits with your name on it :). Send me your address again on instagram my friend!!

[@joshkisch7232]

You handled that so well with that googan driving right up on ya! Way to keep it positive. I would have lost it!

[@davidwarner2768]

I’ve been asking myself how to make better videos for a while now. My channel has been active for over 3 years and they just haven’t grabbed the attention I was hoping for. Big ups to you for filming and editing yourself, you make great stuff!

[@mikek860]

I live in Michigan. I LOVE pike fishing and 40” fish are rare unless you’re fishing a large body of water like St Clair or a Great Lake. I’m headed to Drummond Island in northern Lake Huron in two days- can’t wait to try this tactic.

[@normpayton4999]

Fancy is not the answer keep it real my friend love the videos and learn a lot and apply my own touch because of where I live and definitely been catching more fish for me and my son thank you for the knowledge much love from New Hampshire

[@user-bc7ti9uv8g]

Keep doing what you do, enjoy the educational interludes.

[@northernangle-mv7vw]

I appreciate your videos very much. I just started a channel and take as much inspiration from you as i can. Your always on in the background while im editing and it keeps going through the grind. I love making videos and watching them too. Keep it up and thanks for great content.

[@VoodooE92]

Nice video! Love catching pike! Such a fun fight can’t get enough of them!

[@luketw2818]

Good tip on the casting. I struggle with that and I’ve been practicing. I also have run barbless on all my lures. My arm and the fish thank me. Haven’t noticed a difference in hook ups. I’ll always advocate for barbless lures even though I’m in the states

[@roysaari3028]

Love your videos, Clayton…no need to try to change to match the other guys who can’t catch fish like you!! Be yourself and fish your way!!! Best content on KZbin!!!

[@dannym30]

Right on big pike! Love it. A lot of my favorite videos are pike vids

[@sonnenburgoutdoors]

Like I said before, it’s amazing what you do all yourself filming, editing and catching fish. you don’t get enough kudos for that # 1 !! Thanks👍👍🐟🐟

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I do appreciate that a lot!

[@Fish_Bait]

Always Enjoy your videos mostly when you target the big pike girls , I lost confidence in glide baits in my younger years but after listening to your technique with them I think I will try them again, thanks and safe travels Clayton. 🎣

[@davidjulka]

Love the videos, have for a long time! With you wanting to make better videos I can’t wait to see what’s in store! Sending love from Michigan!

[@bobhochtritt2662]

Another good vid Clayton...Thanks

[@curtanschuetz3434]

We love ya Clayton.Don't ever change......or something

[@Hunter-fr2rc]

Your videos are alway very entertaining to watch. As an angler from the same area, you catch fish in every video just about that I can only dream of catching and the fact you want to make your videos even better and have the motivation to try and improve your videos makes not just me but I think all your fans exited to see what you have coming. If your looking to improve it would be nice to see you go into more of a cinematic style of videos like Jon B style rather than the typical KZbin angler. But either way a Clayton Schick video is always a good time to watch.

[@SirensOfSEWI]

I would say if it aint broke dont fix it but I respect the will to self improve. You are one of my favorite YT channels, thanks for the tips and keep it up!!

[@LarrySwanson-zy2rj]

YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAKE BETTER VIDEOS!!! CLAYTON, YOUR VIDEOS ARE GREAT:)

[@jasonfisher281]

🔥your videos are great🔥 Your videos get better each time you fish and share. When we feel like we have a fishin buddy in CAN, you have done your job!

[@scottkidder438]

I am a fair bit south from you (South Dakota) down here the magic trick to monster pike is super simple, a big chatter bait with a 5" soft plastic swim bait like a boot tail as a trailer. They hit that set up with hatred in their hearts! You can just tell how badly they want it dead.

[@randy8689]

Great pike videos keep them coming

[@Kdog26]

When you were showing the glide bait 1/3,1/3,1/3 retrieve. And then caught that walleye…. You can see that fish from the drone, off to the right I’m pretty sure. Right at the surface. lol

[@garynelson3425]

Clayton bloopers would be a fun Addition . All fish landing and Release of fish cant allways be Perfect. Just the Struggles of every day on the lake .

[@mattkahle6700]

Best part of your videos is the self filming. Dont change it.

[@barrybutleroutdoors5293]

That bait swims so nicely, great video

[@user-ku3dy3th2z]

Go after more species! Your videos are fantastic and have helped me put more fish in the boat would love to see some musky and trout videos! Also more clay vs jay

[@saylorclements7484]

Great pike Mr. Clayton!👍 I think I’ll follow your idea of barbless hooks fishing for pike,

[@philipswantek4951]

How about a crappie fishing video!? It would be awesome to watch you apply your skills to something new to you.

[@jamesds9878]

Great vid! Fished a new lake last 4 days and slayed the eyes! 263 in 3 days and managed to get 63 in 2 hours one night! Love fishing new lakes! Waterhen lake Sk

[@mrohara2008]

OHHH YEEAAAHH!!!!! PIKE FISHING BABY!!!! You just made my day Clayton

[@matts6768]

Another great video.. thanks for leaving the boat traffic in. Just maybe some others will see that and say oooo that wasn't nice. Keep up the great videos Clayton, take care..

[@meandale]

I love those big pike! Tried like crazy when I was stationed in the U.P. of MI with no luck.

[@tonymills8510]

Pike are my favorite species to fish for in Ontario, Especially when they are 40" plus, the coolest, Walleye are great too! Really enjoyed this video!

[@madman61756]

I love your videos. For me personally I want to hear more about the gear. Rod length, power/action, line type, leader?, what knot are you using for the application…. A lot of people push brands and I don’t think you do that as much if. But for example Bama Saltwater says “I got a 4000 sized reel on a 7’4” fast action medium power inshore rod, with 15lb braid to 20lb flouro using a uni to uni knot, then at the end I used a loop knot to attach this 3/4oz buck tail jig….” Or whatever you get the idea! THAT for me, would be the sweetest addition!

[@sladeleason4338]

Show me the video of picking the birds nest out of the spinning reel😂😂great video bud!!

[@gavinmeyer8920]

Lookin to add the Jay Siemens razzle dazzle shots lol

Very interesting content

I have caught some big ones in that exact same spot where u are 👌

[@JHish]

Yes gonna make the comment you already make great videos, best out there imho. Still don't understand switching with the caster though lol. I feel it's more because your the same age as me and when you were shopping for your first one it was tough to find a good lefty in a kids price range 🙂.

[@leevisiren7282]

for pike fishing i like to stop reeling for about 1-2seconds and thats the time when the pike usually strikes

You should have asked buddy how fishings been and if he's caught his limit! 😂 Great vid as always bud! Thinking I may need to bring my gator tackle with next time we visit my parents in Aug. Would love to find a few giants in open water.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

@@CARLBP appreciate you watching!!

[@ericsadventuresfishing8832]

i switched from a head cam to a chest cam helped with the crazy shaking in the shots for pov stuff. crazy big fish nice job man your stuff is top Knoch wouldn't worry too much 104k subs is really good for a fishing channel. camera men and editors super crazy cameras filming boat it starts getting crazy expensive fast good to see you know to be so very careful with those very Hookey baits dehooking by the boat easy way to get a hand full of hooks.

[@joecalhounschasintailguide6703]

I prefer to watch head cam footage because I don't like staring at people's hands the whole time. Agreed it makes the video less shaky but I prefer head cam. Just my opinion. Nothing wrong with chestys some of the time though

[@troytoner1008]

you can see a fish when he puts the drone to show the glide bait 7:50

Could you fish the Berkeley power switch for lake trout an walleye. Keep up the good work..

[@tannerlawrence7219]

Any tips on catching bigger pike in a super flat shallow lake where the average size isn’t that big? I’ve seen a couple of upper 30s caught but most of them are around 20 inches. Average depth is between 4-7 feet and it is a pretty large lake.

[@mattokeefe691]

[@piemai651]

I watch all your videos. The only advice I'd have for you to improve is to be careful when wearing a head camera to slow your movements. It makes it hard to watch when the camera view moves quickly. Note that I watch KZbin in 2X speed.

[@evanmalison4489]

❤️👊💪🎣

[@patgingras5974]

[@scottphillips3521]

Clayton do you think Glide baits would work here in Northern New York? The ADK Mountains?

[@blaahster]

If pursuing pike. Definitely

[@frontierfishingwithryanmac1981]

Someone needs to develop a better fishing net for Northern's and the hooks they usually barrel roll into them... barbless is the way to go but even pinched barbs can get hooked into those nets and still become difficult to untangle. I only break out the net for BIG fish now.

Don't get a camera guy. I'm sure its a lot of work to film and edit all this but one of our favorite fisherman in wisconsin now uses a camera guy and I feel like he talks to him more than his audience . I love your videos, Don't change a thing!

[@chriscrashfpv]

Good man Clayton! I'm not condoning his behaviour but the worst thing he did was wash out your spot and send you a little wake. Nothing to hold a grudge over. Ive had guys come in and just start trolling my spot as im actively jigging walleyes. I just start up the motor and put myself somewhere else rather than diving into negativity... Some peoples kids I say...

[@JustinCaseJustin]

Min 0:04 : Better quality videos : 4K UHD....improve your quality video ! ( suggestion )

[@JoeIsOut2lunch]

0:40 to make better videos keep on doing what you’re doing, but always put information about death and locations time of year temperature things like that. You know how people show their lives scope on the bottom of their screen while they do their fishing shows. I would love it if the depth and temp was there all the time, every time we see a fish we can see the depth that you’re fishing.
