Fishing for Big Pike! | I got HOOKED!!

[@Boondock84]

Absolutely love the pike vids. I know walleye videos pay your bills but the pike and trout videos make you a legend!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I love pike fishing a lot!!

[@SaskFisher]

Handled that hookset in the hand like a champ! Well done!

[@normbutler6627]

Clayton, that was a fantastic video, I have also had a great fall pike season. Thanks for the "get the hook out of my hand tip", very helpful.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Nice! Pike are FUN!

[@fishn365]

I've used the line method to remove large treble hooks with a 100% success rate. 3 for 3. All were barbed hooks. I think crushing the barbs is a great way to increase the ease of hook removal. Great video. Love the last cast hook ups!

[@jimcar9067]

another great pike video, used the hook trick before. I bring some black electrical tape to quickly tape up a tooth or gill cut cut. Keeps it from bleeding otherwise they take forever to stop bleeding

[@BobbersDown]

Fall fishing in full swing...best time of year! Nice pike action!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Ya buddy! Hope all is well!!

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

A hook in the hand and no cussing! I'm impressed. I don't think I could do that.

[@IcatchTuna]

Great vid, best technique I know of as well. When I was alone, I once had to push a larger treble through and snip it with bolt cutters a much less fun way.

[@ryderhrubeniuk9815]

And I’d also like to point out that your videos are getting better every upload

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Much appreciated my friend!

[@jimcar9067]

Clayton y mentioned the most critical things when removing impeded hooks: that is to apply downwards pressure as y remover the hook. I started going barbless some 8 years ago when one treble had in my hand and another stuck in the pikes mouth. After that mess I went barbless. How much easier for us fishermen and the pike. Like that last cast..

[@pure_michigan_angler303]

Expertise net skills on that first fish.... joker had some real fight to her

[@douaher9646]

Wow the young man really showing off 👏 he's good 👍 and the last cast was awesome....

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

He can fish! :)

[@toddbranscomb6492]

Had a crank bait hit me in the leg and bury up to the shank through my jeans. Nothing like cutting hooks,dropping pants,and pushing the hook back up and through to get it out. Ever since I use the line trick in hands/fingers etc. it works great. Awesome video. I chuckle at the “small” 36”+ pike…when those are way above avg in Wisconsin (where I fish).

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

We are spoiled with the “small” fish :)

[@blaahster]

Good job on the explanation, on getting the hook out.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Thank you! :)

[@jussdank]

Thanks for the snake action! The fall salmon are running up here in the U.P. I caught 2 nice Cohos and 1 big Chinook so far. Tight lines!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Sounds awesome!

[@canadianmeatpie8245]

I stepped on a quickstrike rig once at home, two trebles in the foot. Ripped em out as fast as possible, freaking adrenaline rush. You were insanely calm, I like your method much better. Thanks for the tip!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

OUCH!! Staying calm does pay off in the long run :)

[@Thisnameisnottakenjk]

If you get a hook with a barb in you, you can also push the point of the hook out through your skin until you expose the barb and then use hook cutters to cut the hook below the barb and then pull the hook back out.

[@rimmyjim501]

Gotta love last cast fish especially of that caliber

[@adamsmith3996]

In over 40 years of fishing ive only got hooked once. Dropper fly rig. Top fly in my palm , bottom fly in a 9 lb. Steelhead still in the water fighting for its life. Ouch ! Ive used the line method to remove hooked anglers several times . Works great. Thanks for showing us some great pike and some real grit. Take care bud.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Thanks as always man!

[@kava8902]

Dude...you are an absolute animal! Most people would be freaking out.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

No reason to freak out :) I have had worse that is for sure :)

[@kava8902]

OMG just finshed the video, you could not have ended any better!!! It was so amazing it seemed like it was planned but obviously that's impossible

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Such a wicked ending! I was so pumped!

[@rippinglipsadventures]

Handy to have pliers and bandages and glad to know those baits didn't make you pay an arm and a leg or a trip to the ER. Thanks for sharing the intel! Great teaching moment, Clayton! ~Randy B.

[@oldpolak5203]

Ooooh , I felt that pain . Seriously, I can't watch them fail videos that involves people getting hurt . I'm glad you didn't freekout !🤣 You keep catching pike that big and I'm going to lose it .😆

Way to keep your calm with the hook in your hand! I've had guests freak out over me getting hooks stuck in my hand, but I learned my lesson too many times and now I stick to grabbing pike behind the head vs netting them because I can not stand them doing EXACTLY what they did to you!!

[@MilestoneGarden306]

Ooooo, I feel that! I had two of three with barbs in my shin last year. The downer was that there was a fish in the other end still.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

2 hooks is always the nightmare!

[@brissonfishing2990]

Wohooo cant wait to watch it!!!

[@ZachTheFisherman]

Pike are the absolute worse for hooks getting thrown around. Lol great tip! Works every time!

[@ryderhrubeniuk9815]

Great to see you back clay! I was just wondering what is your sonar called that you use on your boat and can you use it for ice fishing?

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I use a Helix 12 and a Mega Live as well. Yes you can use it for ice fishing :)

[@beerbuzz62]

Super nice ending to a great fishing day

[@recreyes]

My wife and kids are sick, so I’m living vicariously through you guys in this video.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Hope everyone feels better soon!

[@DB-FISHING]

Definitely going to start putting some bandage tape or little first aid kit in my tackle bag I think! Great video got the itch for some pike now

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Such a good thing to have with you.

[@grantryde]

Great episode! That last pike had a nice big belly!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

She was a healthy one!

[@dalbert4991]

Last cast ACTION! Looks like a fun day!!

[@kevinloewen1736]

I also had a pike get a treble into me this season buy on the top of my knee while leaving the net. The hook was already almost through the other side of the skin from the fish thrashing while still hooked so I pushed it through the rest of the way and snipped the tip off with side cutting pliers I was thankful to have on board. I had also pinched the barb but it still had a bump.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

It happens!!

[@pure_michigan_angler303]

I love how pike always hit at the boat/kayak... that last little change in the retrieve always sets them off 🤣

[@jeremylamovsky3669]

Da boy up Schick creek. I remember catching about a 5 pound channel cat on a river rocker. Buddy wanted to be a hero and unhook it while I was getting pliers. Got a treble dug into his thumb while the other is still attached to the fish thrashing around...I had the pliers in my damn hand when it happened. Getting hooked is very avoidable... But it happens to all of us. Loved your shore fishing for walleye video man, that kind of fishing will always be special to me

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Avoidable yes… but freak stuff Happens!!

[@tonym9781]

Badass video. All around. Great info on the hook and that 40 incher probably hit thanks to the fake hook set haha that was clutch. If you ever get the chance for top water fall pike try northland buzz baits black/orange and black and silver that would make an insane video

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I love top water! Carter and I were talking about it that the fake hook set likely helped! Gave me some ideas for next time!

[@tonym9781]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors pike are weird like that, they love erratic motions. And if the water temp is still about 60° try those buzzbaits they drive the pike insane especially the buzzbaits that have the 'squeak' sound from the blade.. I absolutely love it, they launch like rockets. I bet Carter would love to have a big pike crush it.

[@KrisVuk]

Treble hooks and pike - always a risky play. Nice technique!

[@MegaSon1991]

Superman Clayton. Greetings from Russia. I did that too.

[@matproulx2153]

Hey Clayton. Spot# 2 you spot locked so Carter could keep fishing (and he nabbed one!) If you catch a mediim to large one in a spot how likely is it that you hook into another same size or bigger one without moving?

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I have seen pike group up in sizes quite often. Usually when there is one there is more kicking around. Good reason why they call them the water wolf :)

[@PrimalFlamesPCE]

Wouldn't mind having some more lakes around me with "not giant but not small" 37 inch pike willing to bite. Wisconsin has some good bodies of water for pike, but nothing compared to Wollaston or other big name Canada pike lakes. Love fishing for em regardless.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Some of my smallest lakes are the best lakes. You just have to get out and try things no one else is trying too. Not saying it's easy but we did grind 8 hours for 3 decent fish...

[@PrimalFlamesPCE]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors If i lived closer I'd be fishing the more rural northern counties more. It's like you said, we have so many small lakes up there one is bound to have potential. But our biggest issue down here is how so oftenly people kill and toss pike just because they're pike. Especially during ice fishing season, it's disgusting.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

@@PrimalFlamesPCE ugh…. Yup. I feel you on that one…. I hate seeing these critters mishandled all the time.

[@eliedube]

Did you buy a lottery ticket? Ahahaha... You can handle this but having an extra buddy with you is always safer. Handling those big plier would have been impossible to use alone... Nice vid!

How often do you fish without barbs? Do you fish without barbs because of the law up there and or because you choose to because of certain reason? Love all your videos!!!

[@jasondueck6302]

Certain provinces in Canada it is law to use barbless hooks

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I fish mostly barbless with trebles for pike. A lot of places it’s the law as well.
