My last day on the river pike fishing. No, this IS my last day on the river this season, and i finish in style!
One of many more pike videos coming in 2024. As many of you know I’m trying to raise some money for Muscular Dystrophy in memory of a friend Simon Mirfin. If you have a few quid spare please donate via the justgiving link below and I’ll keep the videos coming.

Incredible river pike to round off with - and on bait! A true all rounder. Glad you got it and all the best with the hike and the rest of your fundraising.

Cheers matey. Looking back it feels as if it was meant to be. A few months ago I get my KZbin act back in the road and off I go fishing filming again. Last fish if the season is a river twenty, I couldn’t have planned it better. Cheers for watching as always matey and thanks for the kind words. I was up the Yorkshire dales yesterday for 14+ mile walk and plenty of climbing as sat watching floats doesn’t get me fit for 24 mile in April. 🤣

Paul - well done, amazing fish - colours and markings were superb! Doesn't matter whether they are 1lb or 30lb - Pike are the most beautiful fish to behold😁

congratulations Paul, i was watching a few of your old video's yesterday ( when you were a young lad ) and one was when you caught a river 20 then lo and behold you go and do it again. It's brilliant to see you still doing what you do best and landing Pike of that size.

Cheers bud. Yeah I catch a few pal and it keeps me ticking over nicely. I do love catching a big one but I’ve never really been one for chasing the big girls all the time. I know some spots where I could catch a few big fish if I put the time in but I just like a bit of casual fishing and try to enjoy what comes along. I don’t always film my fishing and keep some back for myself. I only had one day on my boat this winter and I had a fish on a lure which I guessed was 19lb and when I got home and checked my photos I caught the same fish a year ago at 21lb. Maybe it was a 20 this year? I’ll never know but I just enjoyed the pike and especially the hit as it hit hard and bent the rod double. As I get older I guess there will be more days sitting with my feet up and a couple of bait rods out and I expect there will be a few more twenties to come if I do. Hope you manage a few nice fish in the closed season and cheers as always for watching and commenting bud!

Cheers buddy. Yeah couldn’t have written a better script eh! Strangely it was a session where I just decided to chill and enjoy the last day in the river. I didn’t actually start fishing until about 10:30 or so which for me is very late as if I’m fishing I’m out before dawn to try and make the most of my day.

Tasty 22 bro! 😍 Super fish-care as well m8! Some of the other like 'anglers' on here, w/many subs, could do with watching how ya do it properly, as you do in this fab new vid to close out...cya in a few months! 😎 Best. Marc.

@riverpiker 3 ай бұрын

Cheers Marc. Yeah she was a super fish to finish off really happy with that. Fish care is a big thing these days with so many at it and if you are pushing out videos for everyone to see then you need to set an example. That said, I try my best always and theres no extras for the cameras. I’ve noticed over my many years at filming that it’s easy to get carried away with the commentating and filming the fish and then when you watch the clip back it can be absolutely ages before the fish goes back in the water. For me now there’s often loads of time where the fish is left in the net while I faff with cameras then you can just get the fish out quickly and get it back. You can probably see me looking at something and that’s my phone screen so I can see what my GoPro is filming live and that makes it all much quicker too. As for the other KZbinrs, I hope some of them learn to streamline the time the fish is out of the water. Anyway thanks for the kind words and positive feedback matey much appreciated. ❤️

Stunning fish congratulations..... Finally landed my first Pike. No monsters like this beauty but three jacks from the canal all within an hour and the longest of which was 40cm 🙈 I was searching for big Perch but they nailed my little 3" crayfish. Thanks for the advice buddy I'm gaining a bit more confidence with each fish.

@riverpiker 2 ай бұрын

Matey that’s awesome to hear. Now you’ve found a way to catch them and an area where there are pike so just keep at it. Sounds to me also that maybe the pike are pressured and that could be why they are taking something meant for perch off the bottom. They usually like to chase but if pressured then they can shy off. Keep enjoying it matey!!

Keep at it Lee. It all can change in seconds mate you go from zero to hero so quickly in fishing. Try to focus more time in known big fish areas and then add in some luck.

Cheers Peter. No my pb is 27lb but from years and years ago. Best in recent years is 25lb. I can’t a few 20s a year but they don’t always drop in the videos. I do keep a bit of fishing back just for myself.

@@riverpiker Still, a bad day out fishin is still better than sittin on yer arse at home, wishing you'd gone.. 😂 You talked in the vid about the pain we go through, well as it happens I have had 20+ (lost count) consecutive day-session blanks of late.. and I mean not even a jack.. Dunno why, I've even started using a baitboat to drop deads out at range and included chopped up free offerings... I've taken a break from it for 3 weeks now, I need to re-group & get my head back in the game, we have no closed season here so that helps too... All my piking is done on large freshwaters here, my local lake, Lough Gara is 12.5 square kilometres area so plenty of hidey-holes for 'em... 🤨 Patience & persistence is the name of the game though so I'll stick at it ...😖😉 😎👍☘🍺

@riverpiker 3 ай бұрын

Yeah mate different ball game out where you are. I’ve had a go once and will come back one day. Yes you need ti have a break sometimes that’s either some time off or maybe a new venue or method just to give you a change. You already know it buddy but it can all change in an instant in fishing. And this wild Irish pike don’t always give themselves up so easy but that adds to the whole game doesn’t it buddy. I wish you luck pal and I’m sure you will be in to a beast sometime soon.
