Clear water Pike Fishing Action!

[@TAFishing]

What's your favourite species to catch?!

[@NERING4]

Tench and yellow perch :)

[@ollysicecream2926]

TAFishing carp and tench but mostly tench

[@nighthunter3889]

TAFishing Without any doubt, barbel.

[@Daftboy89]

Perch and Roach :)

[@owen3191]

Perch and bream

[@p8triot394]

Love the single hook, that is all i use on dead bait, size 4 Drennan Micro Barb Specialist. Hooks the pike every time in the scissors. Pike Friendly, hook out in seconds, no problem.

[@Leonf123]

Super specialist is a good pattern but the gape isn’t very wide , strong wire though . I have had the wide gape specialists on livebait rigs and they smash it . Strong wire carp hooks are good too

[@easyfishing1936]

What a great days fishing bet most people don't experience a days pike fishing like that lovely to watch

[@alamao24]

There's nothing i love more than a good days fishing for pike, and whilst waiting for roach to show up i love lure fishing for them

[@serbinator8529]

I had an old vhs fishing tape with this chap. he's a good fisherman and seems like a decent bloke

[@ryanwestgarth1835]

Greame you really manage to convey just what it is to catch a decent fish. I love the fact that even after all these years you still get just as excited about fishing. I'm so pleased I'm not the only one. Keep the fantastic videos going fella. They are a joy to watch.

[@stonefly514]

Who else just smiles when he’s got a fish on? Gotta love TA

[@willmacaluso5293]

This is why I watch you fish- that little bit about the fighter being eaten. 🤣 Thanx again Graeme.

[@stevied8855]

Hi Graeme, Great job. I don't have a favourite fish to catch. I concentrate on learning different set ups and improving my knowledge. I also opt for quite challenging spots wherever i go whether it be Sea or Freshwater Fishing. I get a lot of satisfaction from that. I never make it easy for myself and when i don't catch it doesn't matter to me, but when i do it's doubly satisfying. I just enjoy the whole experience and that's what makes it great. Cheers, Steve in Fife.

[@baldvale5418]

Great Video again Graham, That is a special venue and what a great day that you had.

[@craiglawson8804]

Great to see you on the hunt for pike again Graeme 👍🏻 Great vids as usual 🎣 I love the pike vids 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ralphups7782]

the magazine your son & you have produced in pdf form is a very intresting read indeed, i like the guest contribution in issue 1 on salmon fishing and tips, fantastic stuff.

[@Peter-ju4tw]

Two thumbs up Graeme:-)

[@DJABAlt]

There you have it guys. Nigel Thornberry's pike fishing adventures. Lol 😂 Great catch man!

[@BlackCountryPiker]

A great session considering the conditions graham! Awesome 👍

[@lalu225]

What a catch! What a nice moment... well done!

[@jackmehoff2961]

Totally Awesome fishing, those monsters can fight ! Not to mention they`re very good eating. I`m going to have to try to get me a couple this year. Thank You for sharing your video & bringing us along. ATB

[@Rory_B_Bellowes]

jack mehoff we catch and release all pike here in the UK, atleast your suppose to anyway!

[@fetalalien1369]

Graeme is the man! Epic fish!!!!

[@Vissenbijdewaterkant]

Super video and you had a super fish day !

[@EricSmith-pl9nt]

Great video as always and you look just like a charter in the movie Super Trooper. I love it.

[@neildykes7552]

That pike was Like wtf just happened 😂😂😂 no fish fish is safe with gp about 🙌

[@lexingtonlad5745]

I shake when I catch a 2lb jack. Great video.

[@kevslife]

+TAFishing fudging hell, wacka didley doo.. That first pike was epic!

[@bazburton329]

great pike fishing Graham my favourite fish to catch is carp tench , bream 😁👍👍👍

[@larsvegas1505]

they would be,.. too sad there is no open water in the uk...

[@steveg8322]

within minutes from my home I can catch or try to catch,the pike's smaller cousin the Chain Pickerel, runs, jumps and according to some ,puts up a better scrap than a pike much larger than he ever gets.Down the street fishing with lures with a single hook and crushed barb for easy release and the joy of seeing them toss the lure while in midair!

[@TAFishing]

No joy for me when a pike tosses the lure in the air ...it means I'm not attached to it and so there's no film !! I've also caught "Mr Chain blue pickerel" in the States on my trips.

[@steveg8322]

TAFishing Thanks for the reply Graeme and Mike,I must say that I found it quite disconcerting when fresh water bass,trout,and other gamesters got off that way,but far worse to lose a fish without having seen it!I feel they've earned their freedom when going airborne,though it truly doesn't happen that often.Continued success and best wishes!

[@jakemarsh2122]

This guy is a legend .

[@PhilipBrown1967]

Great film, good filming.

[@leeches2808]

your French is getting better Graeme

[@jofox8066]

First cast - brilliant - what a massive fish! Any chance you could go through unhooking a pike? I'm dying to try your twitching spray technique but if the fish swallows the bait I want to know I can get the hook out. Many thanks, Joanne

[@KastKing]

AMAZING! What a day!

[@davidmorrison5416]

are those mains power cables still live as they seem to be only about twenty feet above your head with the prospect of being fried on the bank side at any moment

[@TAFishing]

They are probably higher than they look,though I did find when I removed my cap the hair was straight up !!

[@swampdonkeyoffgrid190]

great pike fishing anywhere brother, well done, new honeyhole.

[@alces_5931]

Great video and great edits! Love it, you just got a new sub

[@Rory_B_Bellowes]

Cracking video, cracking fish! 😁

[@supitsdosh]

I love the excitement

[@paullawrence8572]

Never done pike fishing Graeme but thought you at to have treble hook and heavier rod?

[@kikinitfullepisodes7173]

I love perch they are beasts lol 😀

[@nedspencer7910]

Great video and what a pike

[@foxsquirrelgaming2463]

WOW! Nice job!

[@boyhowdy5893]

Nice, you the man!

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Brilliant action

[@miagrape8910]

My favorite channel💥

[@mromahbahbah9902]

Apparently they have big pike in there and thank you for replying to my comment

[@lukaswint7067]

proving that treble hooks for pike are not needed

[@bibra8701]

Gj, ty for yet another great vid. 👍

[@garethjamesplunkett]

great video. great sport. cheers

[@ReelNorthernAngling]

great video! keep up the great work

[@KP-oe8sk]

Do your Pike go Dormant ? Or are they just eating Machines all yr round? They look very big on Average.(Question From Canada)

[@tsnfishingthenorth8164]

nice job nice pike I ❤ it😁

[@WestSussexBiker]

Another great video from TAF. People laugh at me fishing for Zander, Pike and big Carp with just a 1.1/4lb Avon rod. I just direct them to these videos. If Graeme can do it with a old John Wilson Avon rod why do you need a broomstick 3.5lb rod ?. One thing i would like to raise is can you tell us what strength lines and hook sizes on your videos.

[@adamturner2836]

Iain De Angler there's a reason for different test curves obviously .. how you meant to control a big fish on soft rods if they decide to get in snags etc .. you use which ever rod is suitable to the fish and situation your fishing .. not all waters are as clear sided and snag free as these waters on these vids .. I use 9ft 3lb rods for most of my fishing and it suits a wide range of fish and sizes ..

[@WestSussexBiker]

"not all waters are as clear sided and snag free as these waters on these vids" hence why a 1.1/4 rod was only needed. Am not a pond Fisher and only river fish so i do understand about snags and the need sometimes for a beefier rod.

[@rickkania8398]

Nice to see you are using a single hook.

[@FishingChanneltv]

nice vid, thumbs up

[@hpfurlong]

Why test curve do you need for pike and would 3and 1/2lbs test curve carp rods be ok

[@krisreddin4999]

+Harry Furlong I used my 10ft 3lb test curve fox carp rods for dead baiting, they cast the bait out fine as you need something stiff but they do spoil the fight a little if you catch jacks as they're a bit overkill

[@timothyqtully807]

Good job Graeme

[@jordanrandall3368]

Hi, What lake is this? And where is it? Would love to give it a go.

[@josh.w3554]

good video again

[@whywefish2836]

Wow nice catches! We just started a new channel. Do you have any tips on how to get off the bottom? Tight lines!🎣

[@stin11111]

Graeme, love your channel, love your content, but it hurts to see your channel isn't growing very fast. I think some different type of content may help for growth. Please do some lure fishing contents, do a few gear reviews (rods/lures/lines/hell even sunglasses maybe), I know your guys work with any gear and yes they all work the same, but it will be good for people want to get some advice on gear choice if you do a few reviews on what you guys think is the best gear for certain price range, both people starting and looking for upgrade will find those content useful. You have friends in tackle shop, right? maybe work with them so you can get a good range of selection of gears to loan so they won't cost you. You had a few good lure test/explanation videos, love them, but 'cos your gears are so old, it's really hard to buy the ones you showed. Do a few modern ones maybe? :) Would also love to see a few more tutorial videos such as difference between different type rods, reels, how each type tide lead works, etc. Anyways, hope your channel grows more and more :) good luck!

[@alexlawrie7840]

Thanks

[@carsonking5549]

It's easily the best fishing channel but I see where he's coming from

[@neilgillam900]

Good game good game 😂

[@kirlu50]

I also have a net like that,and it is driving me nuts

[@Jaak_the_Belgian]

Holy Mackerel, have you notified department of missing persons?

[@tomewen4714]

Any recommendations for pike venues in the south east

[@TAFishing]

Can't help on that one as I rarely fish the South-East. Try tackle shops local to the area you are thinking of.

[@patrickklinge383]

Which are better for pike: bottom rigs or float rigs

[@3cupcakes1man]

bothwork great because pike pick up and hold dead bait for a few moments before moving off, it's more down to the conditions your in and your preference. If im fishing a big, deap lake il use a ledger (bottom rig) but if im fishing in a slow patch on a river ill use a float, hope this helps

[@timjoyce69]

Holy SHIT Graeme 😂😂😂

[@gunnerhoward3134]

Expert !

[@thebullmccabe1384]

Brilliant

[@willmacaluso5293]

Nice day of fishing. Beautiful place...except for the dogs, people and ESPECIALLY THE GEESE!

Which video ??...I put one up ages ago ? Guess you missed it.

[@anthonyrushton3495]

@@TAFishing remember watching it but cant find it now thanks for reply bud

[@LiamJProduction]

I can only hear it out of one ear phone

[@juliegarbutt2984]

what rod are you using?

[@TAFishing]

I think it was an old Ryobi.

[@PROCOTRDOCTOR123]

Are you using a wire leader?

[@josephsteward7230]

I would love to do sams challenge because I’m the best kid that fishes my grandpa knows I’m 12 and I’ve caught 30lb catfish there not the hardest fish to catch but really hard to tire out

[@mromahbahbah9902]

Have u been Roman lakes

[@TAFishing]

No,Not heard of that one.

[@william_lynch]

U need some polarized camera lenses graeme and mike

[@jontata9126]

They were not all above double figures and that was definitely not 16-18 lbs man, more like 10-11 get some scales lol. Good few catches though

[@Hotchrome]

How come you don’t use a trace???

[@dyllandunbar9175]

Is there a reason the first fish didn't run?

[@Soulvex]

he lifted it quite fast and it was in shock i reckon.

[@Skankhunt-ll3zd]

When I was little I was swimming in a lake and my family was with me. Then with no warning I felt something touch me then it tried to drag me down I saw it and it was a pike about the size of me it got my leg and dragged me under but with a good kick he was off and now I have a weird obsession with them

[@Russeroo]

Skankhunt 42 good story

[@thestobo7404]

Do any of you guys fish for pike when thy are spawning

[@tsnfishingthenorth8164]

Angus S I fish for pike in winter when the large pike eat to help the eggs heatly & to keep fat from November to December

[@thestobo7404]

It's strange where I am the fish don't feed at all in the winter

[@tsnfishingthenorth8164]

Angus S maybe spawning I dont fish for pike at the end of December

[@thestobo7404]

Thomas McPhillips do you fish in the spring

[@TAFishing]

They are reputed to spawn around February in our section of the world,depending on weather conditions it probably runs well into March.I think it changes over a wide period depending where you live.

[@tahadogan8638]

Whats yours favorite baitcasting reel for pike fishing? I want to buy a new reel.. I am open to all proposals..

[@deandelaney8858]

Pike

[@neil1150]

What has happened to the sound quality, it used to be so good, but for the last couple of weeks it has been muffled, spoils what would be a good watch :(

[@TAFishing]

I do it with the walk-around GoPro and the sound is never as good as the big camera,which is heavy. I make a lot of these films on my own and believe me I am doing my best.There is no film crew on this one,and I have to catch the fish as well.All in one afternoon.

[@neil1150]

I thought that may be the reason, still a shame as if I cant hear what your saying then there's little point in me watching, can a decent mike no the added the go pro ?

[@propergoodfilms9653]

And we all appreciate your videos dude! Fishing is hard enough, doing it while recording for you audience of thousands - no easy feat! I can hear you loud and clear!

[@1starshot]

Invest in some headphones or speakers, you'll hear everything.

[@neil1150]

Really, I listening with a couple of grands worth of sound equipment, but even so I can't hear what isn't there in the first place

[@NickoTheGuitarist]

Do you guys eat these Pike?

[@TAFishing]

No,they are under immense pressure anyway ,so we hope to put them back .If we killed them we would have nothing left to fish for.Pretty much all our basic fish are under pressure,except for carp,which are all over the place. I have seen a decline in our pike stocks even over the last ten years. And commercial pike fisheries,where they are stocked intentionally and lots of small fodder fish put in don't seem to be the norm here yet.Maybe in the future they will be.

[@larsvegas1505]

Pike isn't a fish that copes well with being caught to many times.. i doublt it will ever be a bigger target in the put/take industry

[@Halo33ab]

Power lines!!! "Kids" don't fish under or near over head power lines!!!

I would shame myself for such a crapy tackle...jezzz...

[@guineafowl8029]

Doesn't quite make sense, but anyway, there are lots of channels for tackle tarts. This isn't one of them.

[@justicet6327]

Danito, a good angler can catch fish with any tackle no matter the price tag, your clearly so far up your own arse to realise that.

[@guineafowl8029]

A lifetime's experience of fishing and watercraft, backed up by real results in an unfamiliar lake, and Danito complains his rod and reel look a bit tatty. What an anus. #completelymissingthepoint.

[@ukr1pp3r99]

Danito lol this man would catch more with a spool of line and some fucking berries than you would with your brand new daiwa 90000 all the gear no idea sounds like you arrogant amateur.
