The Biggest Pike of my LIFE! | What a GIANT!

[@andrewpiotrowski1384]

WOW!!! Congratulations Clayton!!! Rod hours and time on the ice/water is always so important. Your ability to consistently put yourself in amazing strike zones is second to none. Your the Man!!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

@@andrewpiotrowski1384 time one the water :). 100%

[@thomaschartrand4670]

​@ClaytonSchickOutdoors where did you get the bump board?

[@WisconsinFishingandOutdoors]

Everything about this is fantastic. The utter shock pulling it out of the hole, accurate measurement, top tier fish handling and a quick release. Nobody deserves a fish like that more than you man! Congratulations!

[@Brady1432]

Congrats on the fish! I also couldn’t agree more with your point on “giving spots and lakes away on your channel” it’s the people who don’t properly respect the resources. Great point

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Have to take care of them!

[@ryanbaldwin5445]

The Bubbles impersonation was spot on hahahaha. 😂 Definitely need more of that

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

HAH! :) Love TPB

[@barrybutleroutdoors5293]

Clayton you're above them all , your skills and care for the fish is second to none, watching u walk up to the hole with every tool and the board ready to go is masterclass 🤘

[@12pastmidnight66]

Best personality! Your vids are always so real and personable, been watching over the years and everytime I come back to "fishing videos" I really enjoy the realism and great fishing advice, and action over the years. It's been great to see a guy grow and really hit his stride from a bumbling rambling dude with minimal cameras just slaying fish, to a solid production video still just being a genuine dude enjoying it. Thanks for staying true and keeping it real

[@Thisnameisnottakenjk]

Missed your ice fishing videos Clayton. I really appreciate your conservationist attitude towards fishing. You are a true role model for fishermen new and old everywhere. Thank you and congratulations on the super mega big pb.

[@AnglingAffliction]

Those are some tanks! Thanks for taking the time to talk on Sunday and spending some time coloring with the kids.. all the best this ice season Clayton!

[@RogerWalleyeGrabber]

Congratulations! Absolute giant, and your fish handling skills are top notch , and sharing education on resources and fish handling is amazing!

[@curtisroberts8016]

Your right, you were excited! That was insane. The underwater footage was insane. The fish was so wide! I’m speechless. You hands down are the king of KZbin!!!

[@konopelskifarms]

Congratulations Clayton, I agree with other people commenting you definitely deserved that fish. The time you put in, the scouting, the trial and error of new products, the careful releases of the fish, and not to forget about the time you put in editing these videos… I honestly can’t think of anyone more deserving. What an absolute SOW that fish was. The view of her back/shoulders coming in on that bait looked like a big green RV tailgating a bicycle. That was epic. Thanks so much for sharing this moment with us. Outstanding!!!!👍🏻👍🏻

[@watertothepeople]

Huge congrats Clayton, what a machine! Absolutely awesome footage too ..when she hovered back in for the kill. That wide back made her look like a submarine!

[@tho83mas]

Clayton is in a different league than everyone else I’m sorry. I’m at a loss for words at this point. Video…after video lol. Mad respect

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Cheers my friend!

[@NickLindner]

Enormous congrats man! What a wildly impressive fish, especially through the ice. You can tell they are big when they look as flexible as a 2x4 on the underwater camera. 😅

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Thanks buddy! Pretty mind blowing for sure!

[@matthewlitzinger2155]

Had the pleasure of meeting you yesterday at the Winnipeg ice show after my daughter recognized you from all of the videos we watch. Thanks for being so nice and taking a picture with our family and the sticker you gave our daughter. Beanie I purchased fits great by the way! Love all of your content and keep the awesome videos coming!

[@ambyploof3092]

IMPRESSIVE FISH, an outdoorsman and conservationist deserves a fish like this once in a while 😅. I don’t know how you had the willpower to not post this sooner. Congrats on the PB 👏👏

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Was hard to hold onto for sure!! Cheers man!!

[@throwingitoutthere]

My thoughts exactly!

[@dlac4292]

Amen Clayton!! Well said! Couldn't agree more about the frozen eyeballs. I always get grief when I bring it up so glad you said it!

[@ryanhickenbottom9540]

Congratulations you work hard you play hard and this is the Reward that you get for hard work

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

100%

[@mikebennewitz7019]

Holy cow man that is a massive Pike! I absolutely loved the rant about respecting the resources too. We are seeing that issue with muskies in MN. Between lack of stocking and more new (uneducated) anglers "scoping" deep open water fish for social media we need help in the worst way.

[@kooperlegault3223]

"Hey ricky is that a sammich" that pike thought soo, unreal fish and ever better attitude, love the vids

[@robertjamesfishing]

Making me itch for ice season!!!! Congrats!

[@derekmaruska9344]

Me too!!! Where you from? Making ice yet? We were starting to ice over some shallow swamps in northern mn but I bet the rain thawed it. Hopefully starting tonight we start making ice fast...

[@ledraps22]

i always think pike look so silly and cute underwater. like dogs almost, big snout and curious and take a gentle nom on the deadbait. lol. Congrats on the pb man.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Haha! They are pretty awesome.

[@throwingitoutthere]

How did you script that girthy momma to swim in the PERFECT approach to the bait? Unreal! With a rant like that, you are invited to my camp anytime. I love the message. You have set the bar high for your next PB ice pike, and I look forward to seeing you achieve this goal. Somewhere out there is your next PB. Keep grinding brother. I hope your pops enjoyed the footage.

[@fishingnerd400]

that is a BEAST of a pike!!! Congratulations Clayton!! You deserve it! 😊.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Appreciate that!!

[@veegh90]

Awesome fish and big congratulations, what a dream fish for sure

[@terryattewell5842]

So nice to see you on the ice again....WOW what a pike Clayton, so happy for you!!!

[@wrayharris6407]

That was awsome a great fish but even better rant about protecting the fish.👍

[@brianperiso674]

First off, what an amazing Northern! That fish looked very healthy and well fed, congrats! I'm located in mid Michigan and praying for a great hard water season this coming winter. I had a great archery whitetail season and now looking forward to some relaxing vertical jigging. Great times ahead and memories to be made. Good luck to all my fellow outdoorsmen, we are a great bunch!

[@bruceprosser8332]

Your excitement is contagious, earned another sub! Your rant was spot on also.

[@dalbert4991]

Wow! What a special fish. I can't even imagine. Thank you for teaching me how to take care of the fish!!

[@jussdank]

I watch all these videos with my brother, and we look forward to this action. Way to stay on your PB pike, and tight lines!

[@FishingZebra]

Well done Clayton! Time and effort paid off!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Time 100% Cheers!

[@Rak187Inf]

You earned every single inch of that fish! Congrats on a well deserved giant

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Appreciate that!!

[@pjsebby8392]

Hell of a fish Clayton. I swear you catch more consistent big fish than anyone out there. Top angler on youtube, no question! Congrats on the new PB sir! Time to enjoy a nice glass of whiskey and rewatch that one a few times. Not to mention the footage underwater it gave you!

[@curtiscamp502]

I absolutely love how excited you get. Love it.

[@JustEnnsy_19]

Dang, nice pike Clayton. I can’t imagine the adrenaline you had bringing that fish out of the water. Congrats on that pb. Was pretty awesome seeing you at the Winnipeg Ice Show. Glad to rep the CSO touque this winter. Love your videos!!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

@@JustEnnsy_19 sure appreciate all the support!

[@collinhooth6424]

Congratulations Clayton, thanks for sharing!

[@jeffkwasny62]

The excitement is real , it can happen at anytime congratulations!

[@kevinnowak1107]

Gotta say I'm proud you moved to beef tallow and dropped the Canola and seed oils. Tell Jay to do the same! Great vid bud.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Will do!

[@Fish_Bait]

Dang Clayton Congratulations! All documented too . Love it 🎣

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

A day I’ll never forget!

[@trenth9919]

AMAZING FISH! And thank you for your "rant" for calling out poor handling techniques. Take care of the fish if it's going to be released.

[@sirfishalot]

It was the hat! I have one and with it on I caught a lot of very nice fish last season. Congrats on the PB Clayton!

[@dieselsdirtyworks]

Good job Clayton unbelievable I'll never catch one like this. I've learned a ton from watching you thank you.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I might likely never catch another one like that either!

[@andrewkenny742]

Always a great advocate of better fish handling 👏

[@Jeeg_Quebec_CAN]

CONGRATULATIONS CLAYTON! It is AMAZING to see these kinds of monsters, sharing the joy and the passion, that's what it's all about! Sooooo pumped for ice season!!!!! 🎣😃🤘

Hoping for a good safe season!

[@Jeeg_Quebec_CAN]

Thank you, you too!!

[@WarrenPenner]

Wow! Congrats, bud! Where there's one, there's another! So glad to see you snag a beast like that!

[@mikethiel9640]

Beautiful fish! I love what you said about respecting the resource. You're spot on. Thank you for being such a positive influence for the sport and for all the education you give. Love the videos, can't wait to get on the ice! Tight lines!

[@jasonfisher281]

🔥🔥yes you “caught the moment “!! Thnx CSO!

OMG THAT FISH IS HUGE!!! Holy cow what a specimen man!!! Way to go Clayton!!!!

Thanks man!

[@accessableangling]

I honestly would DIE if I saw that head come up the hole!!! Congratulations on your PB!!!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I know when I had my hand on it's gill plate that is was a special fish!

[@chris_2714]

What an absolute tank! Could tell it was big when it left you speechless and shaking! Congrats on the new PB 👍

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

A fish I will never forget!

[@bab782]

Right on bud. You’re willing to take one off the chin with your platform that all of your old school friends agree with. 👍

[@FishingTheLure]

Bro that is an absolutely gigantic pike! Many congratulations 🎣 You are probably an inspiration for others on how to handle large fish in a good way like that

Incredible fish! 🤯 can't imagine seeing that mouth coming up the hole in person! Congrats on that beauty!!

[@lee2noble]

Best footage ever!! Extra Thick!! Congrats dude. Have fun at the Winnipeg show!! Wish I could attend.

[@RallyGreen]

What an absolute specimen of a pike! Congratulations! That shot of its head at the hole was spot-on for the scene where the sheriff sees the shark for the first time in Jaws, haha

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Never forget those fish and how big their head is!

[@svenngunnarrustgard1228]

That was a giant for sure, congratulations you put in the time and you get this 👍

[@Moosebunx]

Wonderful big pike for ya Clayton! Well done.

[@newproonline]

I don't normally freak out with big fish. This would have been an exception for a major freak out! Great catch!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

It was big enough for a freak out for sure :)

[@joshbraun3743]

So cool that you were able to capture your PB on film…what a slob!

[@LeahsHooked]

It’s so cool to see how they interact with the bait underwater! I always wonder what they are thinking as they are staring at it?! Do I eat it? Do I eat it? Do I eat…I’m eating it 🤣 Awesome fish and well deserved!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Haha right? So much fun to watch them!!

[@jacksilgen1561]

Incredible!! Huge congratulations Clay

Unreal fish I can’t even imagine seeing a Pike like that in person 😅

[@BigStackOutdoors]

Congrats Clayton on the PB. That is a stud of a fish. Going be a tough on to beat, Defiantly get me jacked for the hard water.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Gonna be very tough to beat!

[@peachypeaches62]

The part that blows my mind Clayton, is that you sat on this video for so long....should have just waited until Christmas to give us all the gift of seeing it! Way to go my man!! Fish of a lifetime!! 😊

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Haha!! Probably would have been a good idea!! Was hard to sit on it for sure :)

When Clayton says "it doesnt feel very big" thats when you know its gonna be a tank

[@Bubba1235-n8m]

I love that you fish with foolers, I use them all the time for perch and walleye. I also loved seeing how all the false flags happened, I never saw that type of footage before

[@JBslays2eazy]

That shot of the pike coming back for the bait a second time was so badass! The girth on that thing is unbelievable! Also you and Randy need to make a cheeseburger fish catch and cook video

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

That would be an unreal video!!

[@JBslays2eazy]

@ for sure! I meant to say fish cheeseburgers but I think as long as cheese and burgers are involved Randy would be game for it! Lol

[@joecarew3]

Love the videos. Sorry dad can’t be there. I’ve learned so much from you in the last few years. Keep it up dude. All the best

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Appreciate the kind words!

The video I've patiently been waiting months for!!!🎉

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

@@StuHenuset :). This is it :)

[@travispick5160]

Congrats Clayton, what a monster

[@Flatlander11]

Congrats Clayton! Couldn’t agree more, those big pike are something special and should be cherished and protected! Biggest I got was 46” through the ice. In a lake not too far from you (won’t say where in the comments. Unfortunately last year was brutal do to exactly what you’re talking about, not one pike 40” through the ice (and I fished a lot but I did get a 30” walleye) My biggest concern is the lack of protection and respect for these big fish. Everyone’s a walleye and perch bandit and wants to bonk any big pike.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Sure wish people would take care of them!

[@marclake4905]

One heck of a fish bud...Congrats

[@tylerobrien6776]
