I had a friend who on his first visit to Minn with his new wife was at a lake and saw a reed bank. Being a bass fisherman from hillbilly land had never seen a pike. A spinnerbait soon hooked about an 5 lb pike. In bass fisherman style he lip landed it. He no longer had the pike, it had him. In a panic he slung it onto shore resulting in the need for extensive bandaging. His new relatives now had a lifetime story about how Bill caught his first pike.

Rookie mistake!!! Welcome to pike fishing 🙂
@aarongregory49802 ай бұрын
That’s a mistake you only ever make once lol. I’ve never tried to lip a pike (no duh lmao) but I’ve been bit badly once and you’d best believe I’ve never let that happen again. My thumb looks like ground beef after that fish was done with it.
@svengalt95462 ай бұрын
Can't lip a bowfin(dogfish) either, they have at least as many teeth as a pike and the bite force of a catfish.

We all know it's best to handle pike under the chin area. Pikes teeth sharp as hell. 😮
@joegrande48482 ай бұрын
@svengalt9546 Indeed, white catfish and bullhead catfish are usually the only catfish you can grab like a bass. The other species of catfish you need lip grabbers. Lip grabbers aren't good to use on a pike.

Yup...the mid summer pike bite is always tough. Thats when you get to the lake 2 hrs before sun up , fish till 11 a.m. - noonish. Or just night fish. Get out a couple hours before sundown and go home around sun up. Night fishing mid summer is when the hogs feed. No boats running around , hot sun is gone....good times. Big fish.

As always, another fantastic trip! The water I fish has stocked tiger musky to knock down the high perch population. It also has a very healthy large mouth bass population, which is my normal target. After hooking up with some tigers here and there on bass gear, I decided to add a musky rod. I've noticed in a couple of your pike videos, the white chatter bait seems to do very well. You have had success with both pike and musky, so would you recommend white as a decent "go to" color since tigers are a mix of both? The reservoir I fish is very heavily weeded, and the tigers have plenty of cover, so this video was especially helpful me. Thanks again for what you do. Your videos provide great content and learning.

@@stinthedude Hard to believe, but I've always been a spinner and spoon fisherman. I was never really into plugs, so I neglected topwater for decades. I had no idea what I was missing. You absolutely have to have a dependable bait caster that you master and not birds-nest it. I got one of the Quantum reels Matt uses, and now I can bomb lures out 30-40 yrds. Really helps to sneak up on fish and cover a lot of water, while presenting the lure a long time over structure. I get so many reaction strikes on the Whopper Plopper and follow-up strike, you wouldn't believe it. Matt does that little "pause and jiggle" with the lure when he gets a near miss, and I've copied that to great effect.

Man I just love pike, such a mean, goofy fish. Maybe try some inline spinners next time? I had great time and lots of success throwing them over the last decade and a half of me fishing. Yeah they are a little finicky to work with because you have to use lighter gear or they won't run well but usually size 5+ is great even on heavy gear for most brands.
