Thank you for releasing this magnificent creature back into the wild. You are a true sportsman and conservationist. The world could use more like you.

I never imagined that a pike would take a lure sitting on the bottom of the lake. You learn something new every day.

I mean i catch pike on pickerel rigs quite often lol, they'll take any dead bait sitting on the bottom

[@jounisuninen]

@@johndoe4034 As far as I know, the bigger a pike gets the more it is inclined to eat carcass. Big pike gets lazy and it has learned how to get the easiest meal.

Great fish there! I live in Saskatchewan and have yet to see a fish like that in person. I have heard of folks catchin some around that size up north though. Let me know if you end up around these southern Sask areas. Something tells me you'd be one hell of a guy to fish with. Anyway, great fish, great footage. Good for you!

[@whitelabelfishing]

FisherOfMen333 thnx man, will do! 👊

[@Fishwish]

Really interesting to see its attempts at picking the bait up. Do you think it was checking it out for hooks or just deciding whether it fancied that for tea or something different? Or even just struggling to pick it up in the way that it wanted to? Lovely footage. Couldn’t give a stuff how big it is, but well done regardless. 👍

[@whitelabelfishing]

I think she was suspicious... fish this side have seen a thing or two in their life span and are extra catious

[@Fishwish]

@@whitelabelfishing it certainly looked that way didn't it. Seemed to use touch and feel rather than using sight, which is surprising considering how good their eye sight is and the clarity of water it is in. Lovely that it can grow to that size in a river as opposed to a trout stocked lake. UK population is so high that its rare for a fish not to have seen hooks and many don't live to see them ever again.

[@danreder8985]

How long was that pike on for? Admittedly i have no idea how u were fishing but seemed like a reverse version of the floating rig where u tie on too an empty 2 liter and let it float around the lake and go get it in the morning. Im asking cause i was told prolonging a fight with a musky or pike make their muscles release an acid and they seem fine but literally swim off and die within a day. The video kinda seemed like u left that rig and came back too it. Not saying thats what u did just wondering

I love me some deadbaiting !! 🤗 I like to pop up my baits... it makes for a much more positive "take" ... no messing around mouthing the bait on the bottom. That was a proper monster, do you use barbed, semi-barbed or barbless ? I use the semi-barbed to keep a decent hold on the deadbait... also .. if I'm trying for a long cast I'll use some bait elastic too ... 😏 my favourite deadbait is lamprey ... 😎👍☘🍺

Barbed, with 1/0 or 2/0 it doesnt do that much damage on fish this size and it keeps a good grip on the bait

[@WhattAreYouSaying]

That pike is huge! Biggest pike known caught in Norway was 19,5 kg in 2017, but off course there are rumors off bigger.

[@waso778]

Netherlands and Sweden by far biggest ones.

[@WhattAreYouSaying]

@@waso778 Yeah, I am Norwegian, but lived in Sweden for 8 years. I fished a lot of pike when I lived there. In the place I lived, there was a story about a huge pike that was caught in 1974. An elderly man caught the pike in a net, but it was so big and heavy that he had to gut and fillet it on the spot, so he could carry it home. When he came home, he weighed both the fillets and they was 26 kilos. 26 kilos just the fillets, without the head, guts and bone...That pike must have been enourmous. The day after the pike was caught, a "search party" went to the place where he caught the pike, to try to find the head, guts and bone so they could get a total weight of the pike. But they didn't find anything, it was probably eaten or taken away by wild animals. (Sorry for bad English, I did my best.)
