Epic Day of Pike Fishing | I messed up!!

I asked KZbin what I should do for my next video in a small poll and a full day of Pike fishing was picked as the winner!! (For now) There are so many different ways to target Pike I really can't decide which is my favorite.

Id consider figure eighting and the end of your retrieve for thar reason

[@fishingmasterawesome]

Pike are my favorite fish to fish for hands down

[@differentfins]

Great video bud! You are right giant starts at 45", I say big starts at 42". A 40" pike is nice but 42" is where the shoulders really get wide. If you cant grab it by the neck with man sized hands that's a big esox! Post spawn and October is when I target big pike in NW Ontario. I dont go for then in summer much. Again awesome video, cheers!

[@jimcar9067]

Nice I like pike-athons ,totally defines the great northern pike, get our toothy friends

[@julianpbmx]

What's the gear ratio on your curado 300 and what rod do you have it paired with? I'd love a video where you breakdown your Pike setups

[@fredgrems2167]

My favorite pike bait is a Williams Wabler W60 in gold/silver. lots of 40" and above fish on the slure.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I am sure!

[@roccojc8071]

Fred Grems I got myself a w60, but never used it yet, the color is in orange and gold

[@protatter7162]

“Any luck?”, “NO!” Lmao

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

haha!! Nope... :)

[@nathaniellarson8]

He wasn't lying, bad luck on hooking up, lol.

[@michiganmike3268]

Ever had pike just ram the bait instead of eating it? They do that on my lake. They'll ram into my spoon, and I stop reeling and let the spoon flutter like a stunned bait fish, then the pike turn right around and grab it.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Most of the time they just miss it, but I am sure the rare time they might be ramming it :)

[@christianwilliams1931]

Usually when they follow but don’t commit I change colour not the bait, usually does the job 👍

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

It could work for sure :)

[@franklinjoshl9]

Northern pike is my favorite fish

This year I’ve caught multiple 30-39.5” pike this spring. I can’t break that 40” mark, still have yet to break it this year.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Can't give all the info away sorry :) Need to protect some fisheries as well....

[@MrCanadianCaber]

Love gator fishing! Nothing beats a top water pike smash, especially at the boat...if you leave your lure in for the "check" move of course ;)

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

Actually, it's the Hellhound lure not the Hellpuppy lure, for anyone interested in buying one and can't find it on Google. I'm with you, Clayton. I don't understand why pike like that aren't more popular. Great fun day of fishing you had. I like your boat camera setup.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

No the 6” version is called the hell puppy. The bigger version is the hell hound. I just checked google myself :)

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

CSO I just started Pike fishing yesterday evening. 4 Pike in 2 hours. Thought I'd watch some of your videos and lean some stuff today. I love that you have so many videos to go through! I found fishing yesterday they wanted to hit the tandem spinner on the fall. Pretty fun to add a species and only needed a $2 lure.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Appreciate you watching the videos!

[@IntuitiveUniversity]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors CS you are appreciated. Especially the way you respect the source. I was just teasing you the other day a little bit about the perch in 20 lol. You're leading in the industry when it comes to respect to the fish in my opinion. I hope one day soon to start sharing the outdoors in such a manner. Keep up the great work!

"no big deal just a 38 inch pike" Man I hope to feel that one day, I'm from Winnipeg I go fishing almost every weekend, have no clue what I'm really doing, just learn from guys like clayton, biggest pike I caught was maybe 20 inches. I will keep trying!!

Not gonna lie, I already filmed it... Now just have to edit it.... Went awesome!!

[@stuffnsuch631]

A white 6 inch dr spoon has caught the most largest pike for me. It seems like your pike are longer per lb than here. A 40 inch fish would be around 17-20lb . They tend to have big ol' belly's on them .. I tend to think when folks don't like pike , it's because they are ashamed to admit they can't get the bones out..

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Lots of people don't know how to handle them either with all derm big teeth :)

[@captron1644]

Best KZbin channel right here! great info on the funnest fish in Sask!! Do pike go deep when the water temps go up like walleye do? You should do a video for pike on diefenbaker. We consistently catch 40+ inchers in May and June but in July/August its is a "grind" and cant find them. You figure that lake out and you are the champ cause no one else can! Keep pumping out these awesome videos Clayton!!!

[@lunkerlukeoutdoors1306]

Awsome fish Clayton!!!!!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Cheers!

[@neilcurtis2741]

That looks like too much fun! Is that wire easily found? Any special knots for it or just something like a improved clinch or uni work?

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Little harder to find in Canada for sure. I use a uni-uni knot for line to wire and a salt water loop knot for wire to lure

Not gonna lie, being in Manitoba I have fished Walleye my whole life and as a result it is my least favorite species (sacrilege I know) But from a catch and release/sport fish perspective they are very boring compared to Pike, Trout, Bass etc. I throw back 99% so Walleye are just not fun anymore (delicious but boring).
