Northern Pike: The Water Wolf! (FULL VIDEO!)

[@buffalobrando1288]

Used to rent this from my local video store as a kid in the 90s. It’s held up shockingly well. Pike are still my favorite fish, and inspire awe to this day.

[@River.Rambler]

OMG!! Its here! The VHS I watched over and over again! This made my month!

[@viper516]

I saw your comment in the Catfish Fever video and hoped you'd made your way over here!

[@zap2747]

@@viper516 same here haha, love these old pike docs

[@ericwakeman6665]

Great video; timeless information from legends of the sport! On the one hand it takes me back hearing their voices, on the other it’s up to date information I can use tomorrow! Thanks gentlemen you rock!!!

[@ibanez2010]

What a blast from the past! Thank you! I honestly probably watched this tape 100 times before my trip to Canada to chase giant pike when I was 14. And I got one! She was 43" and caught on a tandem Mepps Giant Killer in white/silver casting into cabbage beds.

[@m1cklife168]

Hell yeah!!!!

[@Mark-sx3rf]

Great lure! Its all about the memories now. ❤

[@jean-simonjalbert5339]

I just love your Pike videos and this one is insane with that 30+ pounders pike !! Al Lindner you absolutely rock !! My favorite English host by far.

[@kylelowe2814]

Crazy how young the boys of in fisherman are ! Al Linder and the snake charmer are two legends ! The south side of Chicago will never forget the linders!

[@rockstarwr89]

This has got to be one of the greatest hosting performances to ever grace a camcorder. No net, reaches into the water, hoists the toothy slime rocket , rips a flawless high-energy hip pocket monologue.

[@auscanman]

Thank you for uploading In-Fisherman! I ordered this video from you back in the 90s, watching it many times, and wanted to watch it again.

[@HookFaced]

Love all the classic videos

[@Cornelius798]

I love these videos from back in the day. I wonder if these lakes are just as pristine as they were.

[@theamerican7131]

love seeing the classic fishing from back in the day. larry dahlberg was and still is, one of my favorites

[@kylelowe2814]

Even for a older video this is what’s up !

[@collinmc90]

I caught my first pike while trout fishing on a really light set up. It was the most insane fight I ever had on a lake. Felt like I was pulling in a big salmon. They are invasive where I live so it's actually a mandatory keeper that was a great day. Man I just love these old fishin videos. Reminds me of my childhood.

[@jaredcrue7099]

I love the excitement in this video.

[@christiandemaria2125]

Sad he mentions Mormon lake/resivior Arizona , I was in Flagstaff AZ camping about a year ago (2021) and it's completely gone bone dry dirt, still shows up as a lake on a map and that's why I drove there but it's hard to even imagine a 20lb fish ever once lived there, let alone enough worth mentioning , theirs not even a drop of water as of present day, you can clearly see by Google maps/satellite imaging

[@Tracks777]

amazing stuff

[@kurtriedmuller8223]

Awesome I have the same reel still that Al caught the big pike with!!

[@buffalobrando1288]

Al Linder is an absolute legend

[@snuffy166]

grew up watching him

[@jakelightford3740]

Just fantastic brought me right back to when 9 , I remember mimicking al running the merc with his foot 9.9 hahahah. Standing on a bench seat fantastic

[@Tracks777]

lovely video

[@philipjoseph100]

great fishing time well spent fishing for pike

[@out4troutthewildfisherman78]

brillaint video lads

[@Deathst4lker]

Cracking footage and some fantastic fish !! Nice one

[@chriscool7811]

That pike al caught had to be 50+inches, it was nearly as tall as he was lol I'd love to hook into one that huge my biggest is 40in about 20lbs and his made mine look small

[@TrioxinToxin]

remember when my dad got this on vhs we watched it so much growing up

[@mikek860]

I’ve always wanted to know what the length of Al’s monster Pike was. It’s the biggest pike I’ve ever seen.

[@toddsgreatoutdoors4226]

Incredible!

[@Agkpm]

That is one hell of a pike! Even for dutch standards

[@codym8897]

Hey In-Fisherman TV, do you have anymore classic In-Fisherman videos?

[@SALMONSLAYER06]

man I would do anything to see the old walleye video series you guys had. how can I get those or find them?

[@bensteer3778]

Loved this😊🤟

[@jtothefx]

Amazing!

[@unseenoutdoors]

Yes this is awesome.! Is there going to be any of the cooking episodes?

[@lukem7347]

Why can’t I find Mormon Reservoir in AZ on google maps or in a google search? Did it dry up? Was it renamed?

[@Charles53412]

Because it's called Mormon Lake not Reservoir ! I found it right away, so it's there ! www.google.com/maps/place/Mormon+Lake/@34.9571191,-111.4671818,13.5z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x872dc092f9d68917:0xaa9c3516a89714e6!8m2!3d34.9402296!4d-111.4573989!16zL20vMDliODJx?entry=ttu

[@kylelowe2216]

What year did this come out ?

[@MrTumorHumor]

This video makes me regret throwing away all that awesome clothing from back in the day

[@codyprice1987]

They aren't that hard to catch.. I catch about 6-7 a day just cast and retrieve from shore with a wide variety of different spoons and jerk baits. Absolutely amazing fish.

[@smelltheglove2038]

Almost too easy when you’re fishing for bass

[@MikeYurbasovich]

Yeah, the little guys. Big pike are the hardest fish to master in the United States. Way more uncommon than large musky.

[@luckylucky9006]

How are you able to hold them under there gill like that and those sharp teeth not hurt & cut ya hands? Cause they certainly cut mine up.. great video tho.. thank you for making this.

[@chadheydt8221]

The northern pike lose much longer than 10 to 12 years this is very old information❤😢

[@martinnovak1031]

Crazy how badly he is grabbing them!!!!

[@michaelzilkowsky2936]

try using 4 to 8 lb monofilament line. Hooking pike is only part of the fun if you have any brains in your head and sense of sportsmanship. Hook a big pike and know that you only have 6 lb line, you can't just winch him in. I have caught up to 7.5lb pike on 4 lb line in my little pond spot that is right next to the river that flows through town, and also a 12 lb pike on 6 lb line. That one was a lot of fun, featuring an 8 minute fight in the confines of the pond before he started to get ahead of me and got into the current and ran me out of line..... After a few seconds of the nauseaus feeling that this one was destined to get away, I saw him come to the surface and his tail gave a slap, he was out of gas for the moment...... So I tightened the drag and pulled in with the rod then reeling in the slack, and so on for another minute until he was back in the pond and I could ease the drag back in case in a burst of energy he would simply snap the line. He did indeed get a second wind and we fought for another 5 minutes before I was able to get him close enough to the shore to reach down and grab him by the scruff of the neck, weigh him, take his photo, give him a tummy rub and a pat on the head and set him back in the water. My forearms were quite tired and I was a bit overheated so I zipped down my winter jacket (it was about -7C), but it had been an exhilarating experience, one I likely would not have had if I had 25lb braided line. The fishie was a bit tired, too, for he just treaded water in a foot of water at my feet, until he gave a few relaxed sweeps of his tail and disappeared from view.

[@m1cklife168]

Dude. That's the legimate epitome of wrong gear. You're doing it for a fight & the fish are getting away with your hooks or 300ft of line, as you described hahaha. Use braided line. Can get more on the reel too.

[@michaelzilkowsky2936]

@@m1cklife168 "You're doing it for a fight & the fish are getting away with your hooks or 300ft of line, as you described hahaha." except no where did I say the fish got away with either line or hooks. You are not a particularly smart person, are you? You can't even fuckin read.

[@larryhernandez5062]

The key to loosing pike . . . Not catching pike is fishing where pike aren't .

[@danorris5235]

Where is this documentary getting their information? I'm not even five minutes in and they think a pile is a slashing weapon (lmfao, no) and have the completely wrong age caps for the fish.
