PIKE FISHING: Bright vs. Dark Lures CHALLENGE (Which color works best?)

One of the questions that's been asked over and over again since the beginning of time by pike anglers from all over the world is: which lure color works best? Those super realistic dark lures to imitate the real stuff or is it better to use those ultra bright patterns to really stand out? Well, in this scientific challenge we're going to find out!
GIVE AWAY! Do you want to join us on a fishing day in the making of a KZbin video? If so, make sure to like this video, share it with your friends and leave a comment why you'd like to join! When we reach 1000 likes, a winner will be chosen.
In this episode of TEAM HAJMAT, Pontus and Mille goes pike fishing from their Alumacraft Competitor 175 Sport in the archipelago. The rules of the challenge are simple:
- One angler starts using bright lures while the other is using dark lures. After 60 minutes, the anglers switch colors and the one who started with bright lures must now use dark ones. After 60 more minutes, it's time to change again.
- As soon as someone catches a fish on a lure, the angler must put that lure down and is not allowed to use it anymore.
The winner is the pile of lures - bright or dark - with the highest number of lures at the end of the day! Are you ready?

That dolphin pike is the funniest thing

[@eddy_lee_9115]

I'd say that the weather water and time of the year is changing things... I'd suggest to fish all possible weather in two lakes... one clear one murky water with the same rules and do it for more than 5 seasons maybe then we all could get quite clear answers...

[@owenvb436]

5:50 thats crazy😂

[@borisdelange.771]

Spinner VS spoon

[@aaroncarr8324]

I think its all about the lures that you have confidence in

[@juliushanninen370]

Haha i was laughing so hard when you said It's a dolphin😂😂😂

[@thomas-yn3ok]

What the hell? I've never seen a pike do that lol

[@yzijlstra3066]

I need a pike hat because the pikes are starting to recognise me. Maybe with the hat, they will think I'm one of them😊

[@Skitfiske]

Skulle vara grymt att fiska och filma med er, göra ett riktigt crossover episode :D Mille-mealen ser himmelsk ut!

[@eliotalmqvist2198]

Det skulle vara en grymt häftig upplevelse! har följt era videos och skulle otroligt gärna åka med er på lite grymt gäddfiske och såklart utsökt mat!

[@jeffthepeaceguy]

Watching you two fish is very enjoyable, but the chance to actually fish with you sounds much more appealing.

[@jakubswiatkowski1024]

This pike in 5:50 is the best!!!

[@apaeful]

Skulle va jäkligt kul att följa med ni ser ut att ha så sjukt roligt hela tiden ni fiskar! Ha det bäst och fortsätt göra ett grymt jobb!!

[@catchrelease1268]

For the cap: to catch the pike you must first become the pike!!! I live your chalanges

[@joshandthejam7806]

He's a dolphin. Cracked me up. Nice fish guys. Most people around here hate pike but i love fishing for them.

[@rickardkarlsson4588]

Nu är det såhär att jag har dreglat åt så många av Team Hajmats luncher nu! Så det hade ju varit grymt att få följa med ut och avnjuta en sådan grym måltid.. Sen om man skulle få se några gäddor komma upp, är det bara en trevlig bonus 🖒 skitfiske!

[@kanalgratisdotse]

Precis så allt fiske ska vara, man ska ju ha det lite bra också! /Mille

[@thorn_the_sparkledog9630]

There was a fishing ad before your video started 😎

[@xk33p0ut]

Uff.. getting hungry while im eating because of ur nice dish right there! :o i love these caps :)

[@huntnfishnuts5880]

Great job Pontus and Mille. Caught some interestingly colored fish. Once again Mille knocks the shore lunch out of the park. Hard to beat fresh venison. Love the pike hat and keep up the great science work. 👍

[@mathasus]

Can't help but think that lure colour is more attractive to the angler than it is to the fish...that's how it is for me at least :p

[@anderzz85]

And I need that hat because im always just catching them pikes, seems to fit :D And yea I need a fishing hat!

[@TobagoBo]

I need that cool looking hat to be dressed right to fish with you guys!

[@StatesideFishing]

I believe in match the hatch works best, although for murky water I have better luck with natural colors rather then bright.

[@masomaf]

What a coincidence, talking about that hat. In our chat group 2 days ago we discussed those hats because we have seen them on an online store. I like the pike one and the blue yellow one, the perch fishers liked the perch hat off course.

[@Roggan73]

Jag och frugan skulle vilja utmana dig och Mille :) Det hade varit roligt ;) Cool film förresten, gillade det annorlunda upplägget !

[@FishingWithFrank]

I have been a fan of canalgratis for about 2 years. I love to catch big pike and have some amazing lunch

[@smygiz]

Båtbrist, fiskeabstinens och en förjäkla aptit för god mat ! klart man vill med :)

[@ScurKKen]

I need that hat because that´s really ridicilous + positive that it will give me fishing luck!

[@jamiebeckett5772]

I have just arrive in finland not only 1 month ago, ND have just subscribed to your channel, so far you guys are my favorite channel since here, I have been fishing all my life and I am also a chef, I am from New Zealand and I am wanting to learn as much as I can about fishing here, I would love to come fishing with you guys, and I could cook you some awsome fish and local food👍👍 I know I am a few years late for this competition to come fishing with you guys but thought I would leave my comment, and as we say in New Zealand, Tight lines🎣🎣🎣 P. S. I need a pike hat like that to give me good luck👌🐟🐟🐟🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

[@keitechswingimpact1018]

That mental pike was crazy :D

[@Bobby12many]

5 years too late I realized I needed that pike hat! neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeejjj

[@adamleach471]

Ide love a pike hat, there aren't enough of them in Canada. Ide probably be the only one, just like me and all those swedish swimbaits I have that no one else I know does. love the show thanks so much.

[@handcannon1388]

Both subtle and vivid color schemes catch pike. A good compromise is to fish lures that have features of both. Lures that somewhat resemble natural forage, but with flourescent accents, make a lot of sense for a starting option - or when tackle is limited.

[@gobybryant1001]

handcannon every fish eats bright and natural colors. They are just trying to see which one works better

[@joellaakso8457]

Always nice to watch you guys having fun at fishing, you gotta get inspired watching your equipment and fishing skills! Would be awesome to fish with you 😎

[@rabidrabbit8645]

The best part was cooking, damn, because of you my diet will go down through the shiethole... This food looks freaking amazing.

[@Samtar]

Love this video. I don't understand though. Maybe it's just cause I'm shore fishing, but I can't seem to catch like any pike. Bass seem pretty easy, but I've only caught one pike in the last like 2 or 3 months. Using Rapala hard baits, and some storm soft baits.

[@edstaart8548]

You guys are such fun to watch,really enjoying yourself it shows. Is Mille a chef? Looks delicious. The pike cap is awesome ,a real Pontus item,so cool to become. Well done guys,thanks great vid.

[@backwoodsboy9956]

Where I’m from, orange is always a safe bet for Muskie and pike!!!

[@richarddeboer8934]

Hello again guys from kanaal SE and always great videos you have for us. Dark or bride . . . at last, and to be seen on this video its all about colours and differend meanings over it. Fish do see colours, but not tru ur eyes ! Also to put the comment into the video . . . video Interactiv great ! Nice Pike-print cap, hope to see more from you Guys Thumbs up !

[@PigPatrolTV]

Great info 👍🏻

[@Niederwildtestrevier]

Had the same lunch today. Roedeer is by far the best meet you can eat

[@kanalgratisdotse]

Indeed, Paul. Especially knowing where the food comes from. From the forrest to the table! /Mille

[@mikaelstrumpan8677]

Om ni lär mig lite mera om gäddfiske lovar jag att lära Pontus göra en god lunch. Tack för filmen hälsningar Mikael

[@jere3845]

Tror jag aldrig blivit lika snål på mat som efter denna video! skulle gärna hänga med och fiska!

[@TP-jq8os]

Why do I need such a cool pike hat? Because I FEEL like a pike, I THINK like a pike and that is why I also need to LOOK like a pike now in order to reach the next level: BEEING a piky pike - yee haw!!!

[@Teuvvoo]

I need that pike cap because i love pikefishing! Catch and release all day!

[@TheSlumpen]

Why? Laughs, fishing, a nice lunch and just a great day. What more can an angler wish for?

[@michaelalmquist6988]

Ni e ju så sköna:Vilken suverän video å både intressant å skitkul å kolla på!Å som matglad fiskefreak så e jag ju impad Haha :)

[@davidsvedberg6376]

To go pikefishing with two cool guys like you would be a dream come true:-) and the food looks amazing

[@ironluke9239]

I know the competition for the pike hat is done, but I just started really fishing this summer and the only fish I've caught (and greatfully so) have been 4 pike this week. Biggest one has been 4lbs and in and around 30". First time angler from Ontario, Canada. I think that pike hat would help my efforts on catching bigger monsters. You guys are great by the way lol

[@ironluke9239]

@luke_stuff_sometimes for my Instagram

[@MrCobran6]

Cool tävling och härligt feske ni har där! Hade varit grymt å feska med er.

[@RuHunterX]

If its posible I wnat to join because I love pike fishing nad food gg , love this type of vids

[@powrider911]

thats such a sick hat i need it so my 2 daughters will stop making fun of my current hat!

[@andrewmaryniak3313]

Another great film. I particularly loved the pike with the unusual markings. Anyhow, keep 'em coming!!!

[@Eddieholmsten]

Att få fiska med er skulle vara både roligt och lärorikt. Ni som har varit förebilder för mig sen jag såg den första videon med er

[@LeonderProfi1987]

🤣🤣🤣🤣Is it still possible to go fishing and eat a hot meal with you guy's 🙈😆

[@kona09minimal]

Woaw... Didn't aspect such a close result... Al true.. I think sometimes it has more to do with the siluette that the bait makes than the color... Btw awesome episode! Love it when you test stuff like this episode the colors maybe next time big bait against small? Cheers! 👍👊

[@DavidKeuzenkamp]

love to join you guys. Not only for the fishing but also the food and the environment. What a nature you have there.

[@janilaiho3305]

I would like to fish pikes with you guys because your fishing looks so fun and hilarious, but still you guys know what you do!☺

[@82appe]

Coolt upplägg ☺ Jag hade gärna velat ha en sådan keps. Man måste ju se bra ut när man ger sig ut för gäddfiske 😁

[@wild_idaho4666]

Great video guys. One of the best pike fishing videos I have seen. I have just started doing pike tournaments here in Idaho and that pike hat would be awesome. Keep up the awesome videos and tight lines.

[@SchaumburgerRaubfischangler]

That was a very good competition.😱 I like the comparison between different baits. He shows me that the Fish appeal to different colors.🐟🐟 Your lunches always look delicious and interesting.🤘 Greetings from Germany. 👋👋👋😁💪

[@Iambrandt93]

Den kepan såg ju riktigt Nice ut!! ;) grym video som vanligt grabbar!

[@SbgDucks]

Very nice Video, but lunch can be improved by having a Kaiserschmarren cooked by me after the mushrooms ;-) So take me fishing.

[@nicolashamard6148]

I want to come with you Pontus to show you how we cook in France and why not how we caught a pike ! 😂 Keep going like this I love your vidéo 👊🏼🤙🏻

[@alexre1102]

I'm starting to get into pike fishing myself!

[@maxwelln7296]

Use use yellow and light green for pike and bass. Works great

[@sv4648]

merci pour vos vidéos les gars ça fais plaisir, que des bons moment ;) et cette poilé de girolles juste magnifique ^^

[@PikachuReesesPieces]

you boys sure know how to live !!

[@alexanderandersson8268]

Jag skulle gärna vilja följa med för att ni verkar riktigt härliga att fiska med och den där lunchen såg god ut.👍🏻

[@nicosteen6765]

Traveling and fishing there would be so fun

[@jvdkclips]

I would love the hat for good luck and to cover my bald head. Would love to come to Sweden and fish with you guys- the food looked great

[@pequu2975]

Because i want that lunch! Haha

[@Sebastian-od7es]

Väldigt underhållande grabbar. Fortsätt med det ni gör, ni är grymma! Mackan såg otroligt god ut!

[@kanalgratisdotse]

Kul att höra Hans, tusen tack! 🙌🏼 Och ja, mackan var magisk. Tack för att du tittar! /Pontus

[@dannycolleran7802]

Great video again guys! I could do with that hat to keep all the rain off my head while fishing in Ireland!

[@KKPrimus]

Very nice movie, I like the idea of comparing different lures. But I belief, that it's much more important if the lure is UV active or not. Many of your natural lures like motoroil can be seen as bright lures, due to the high UV activity. However a really nice clip. And i would love to fish with you guys. :)

[@fishunter93]

Vore grymt kul att testa lite gäddfiske :D

[@Herne90]

I need the hat so I can catch more pikes! Cuz that hat is already having mojo over its ear with that pike pattern👌🎣

[@mitchellswag11]

I need that pike hat. My buddy and I fish for pike up in my hometown river so it would only be fitting. Plus it’s a sick hat.

[@parmoescobar8873]

I need that hat as I’m going bald and my head is getting cold with all the hours I spend trying to catch pike 😂

[@viggenman]

Riktigt härligt o se er dra alla dessa fiskar.. det vore väldigt skoj o testa med er ;)

[@anthonyprescott11]

I need a pike hat like that because.....well.....even on the days that I blank at least I will have looked good doing it:)

[@ericvannuland9267]

Awesome video guys! Great to watch all those different lures catch pike!!

[@Perchy]

Would be really nice to join you guys on a trip! Cant wait for the food😜🤤 like those scientic tests😛

[@liammurrayful]

Good food is paramount when I fish too, the time sacrificed is 100% worth it!

[@vinc1106]

I am French and I cook well so I have to come with you guys . 🤩🤩 For the fishing...we shall see once there 😂

[@vn-dc3hv]

What's up with that pike at 5:49 I've never laughed so hard to a fishing video :D

[@michaszewczuk6275]

Like your videos cause you seem to be fully relaxed and fish with no pressure - that s How the fun should be! Why to join you? Because you need to know few more ways to make lunch of cantarelli and probably prepare some karl johans!🙃🤙🏻

[@kanalgratisdotse]

That´s the fun part about fishing, one day you´re in the hardcore mindset going only for the biggest one, the other day it can be just to have a fun day on the water with awesome company, a great lunch, and maybe a couple of bites to top that off. Nothing beats it! Tight lines /Mille

[@MrSmietanx]

First of all, your videos are great! 👌👍🎣 Secoundly I'd like to join you on pike fishing, becouse you have big experience in predator fishing, so every moment with you guys would be the best moments (of learning ) in a great atmosfere. Besides, I'd like to taste one of your meals during the lunch breake :) Best Regards ✌✌🎣 P.S. about the pike hat- during hunting, you have to look like one of your targets, to don't be recognised 😉

[@Recetal]

That dolphin pike lmao

[@TragicMike]

Nevermind the pike i want that mushroom and deer recipe!

[@kevinquinn6103]

Enough with the food!!!! My mouth is watering now. Your killing me here.

[@Simonctghjufghz]

damn, unfortunate that i only found this video now 6 years later. I love your videos on boatside and kanalgratis, it would have been really fun to fish with you guys but maybe it happens by coincidence since i also live in Sweden.

[@lyh.7851]

i would definitely join you for a lunch like that! :D

[@markohelenin8731]

Damn that food made me hungry! I love kanttarelli!

[@andreasolsson1100]

Love to come join you guys in the boat to learn some more details in pike fishing. Loved the video best on kanalgratis for a while👌

[@ludwigostergren6862]

Sjukt kul video och roligt för en intresserad att se vad skillnaden är, oftast så fastnar man för en färg/ton och kör på den för dagen.. vore grymt att få följa med ut och kanske få en keps på köpet. Fortsätt med erat grymma jobb så vi "vanliga" fiskare har något att titta på och drömma om 😂 mvh

[@oliverreich644]

Awesome video guys, would like to see more from U. The cap is needed for my next trip to Rügen

[@linusfemtvik7990]

Awesome. Need to ramp up on the brights

[@MrT08031970]

very nice lunch guys looks amazing!!!

[@AquaticDesign]

5:49 dolphin pike, haha.
