When I was a kid in the 1970s I found an old fishing book that was probably from the 1950s and one of the pages told how to fish with a live mouse as bait. It was rigged just like your thumbnail, a rubber band around the mouse which would hold the hook. I never used a live mouse for bait but that page of the book stuck with me forever!

What a neat way to fish. Wish I was there with you. Knew a guy years ago who used to rig a live mouse on a wooden shingle and let the wind take it over his favorite deep spot. Once there,he’d gently pull it off the shingle with his fishing line and hold on. Caught many bass that way and at night,he’d catch some whopping catfish. Carry on and enjoy yourself. You certainly deserve it with your unique methods and fishing by yourself. Just like myself,I had no one to go with me either. Too many fair weather friends. When the time is right,you wait for nobody. Wish you would try it at night in clear water and get ready for a midnite tug of war. Have a good one fishing buddy, Rick from Florida.

[@jamesross1799]

Your bloody mental mate. I'm not surprised that it worked though. I once caught a decent pike that choked up the very dead body of a fully grown rat. Yuk!

[@neomatrix3612]

Gross, please don't tell me you ate the rat?

[@CoalCoalJames]

I don't understand why people find it strange that a predator will eat anything that fits in it's mouth. Pike especially, those mofo's will eat ducks / seagulls / small dogs / cats ect~ they just have to get big enough.

[@carpypete]

Great video. My missus would freak out if she found a bag of mice in the freezer! Lol. She's terrified of them. I see an article many years ago, think it was the 70's in angling times. It was Dick Walker & a mate, catching Pike on full-size brown rats!! Dead ones. They were fishing gravel pit, where Rats used to swim across to the island, for the birds eggs. They landed a few. Great channel love it. 👍

[@keefroberts1367]

A few years back I was fishing in a well known local river which is a tributary to the river Thames, I was fishing for Chub and having a good session. Whilst fishing a Rat was keeping me amused swimming backwards and forwards across the river with pieces of bread that people had been feeding the Ducks with earlier and had landed in the reeds so the rivers flow hadn’t washed it down stream. Anyway on its way across on the poor chaps final time a huge Pike came up from underneath him and took him whole , I honestly couldn’t believe it, the flipping thing WAS massive. I have never seen that behavior before or since I might add but it truly shocked me.

[@AntonHoward-mx9sb]

I've seen that happen on the grand union in Leicester

[@ROBERTSMITH-io7tb]

I've seen pike taking adult coots, quite amusing actually last time he's diving on my bait 😂

[@Ejuicey]

[@lewislawson2339]

Yes! The rat videos are back. It’s what got me interested way back when

[@Edward-s4l]

Here in the US my dad a many a years ago showed me this with live rats and mice for catching big Largemouth Bass. He would catch them at work in a 5 gallon bucket and bring them home Friday afternoon for the weekend of fishing. We would use a small net to get one at a time out the bucket and use a welding glove to hold them as to not get bitten. Then slide a rubber band around them and hook under the rubber band. I use to love going to the river where there was lily pads and tossing them on top. Man the explosions you would get as the mouse or rat ran across the pads was awesome. Worked great along the bank but my favorite was the pads. It would always amaze me how a 2lb bass would attack and choke down a full grown rat. We caught some big bass that way and a few went double digits.

[@hoihoi1473]

Love seeing you help the mouse to compensatie for his fallen brothers

[@dawggonevidz9140]

I found with luring predatory species, my very best results come not from casting my lures into the water, but casting onto a bank, or any structure out of the water, and letting the lure fall into the water from there. Where there's overhanging tree branches, casting into the water under branches gives a similar success rate. When you think about it, you're trying to fool the fish into thinking a mouse has fallen into the water, so asking yourself "fallen from where though," and casting there is a good starting point to figure out where the fish may lie.

[@shrimpman8422]

you are 100% correct, overcast if you can and pull into the water , same for any boats/canal barges

Now I know what to do with the mice I catch during the colder months. Could be fun summer fishing next year! I¨ll probably rig the mice with two sets of hooks with a wire stinger tackle, one hook at the head and one further back on the body.

Never pick up wild mice mate. You can get bitten and get serious infections. Friend nearly lost his thumb recently. 4 weeks off with sepcis too

[@CitizenErased11]

Great video as always. We just spent most of July and August on your beautiful canal in our narrowboat. We moored very close to where you caught the big chub and my missus saw a grass snake come out of the undergrowth opposite where you were fishing and swim across the canal. I saw quite a few big chub around there

[@anthonystorey2953]

I have always liked surface lure fishing for pike, good video again thanks , cheers for now. Think ill have a go at making a mouse/ rat lure !

[@martindye8809]

Connect another hook with wire and hook the rear of the mouse too, never miss, you can also use elastic to secure it all for the best presentation.

[@shinkano_]

[@robertmartin8400]

Found this really interesting I loved that chub you caught 👍 I had a rat lure but my gear got robbed

[@Boyson66]

About 15 years ago I was fishing the Ouse and noticed a small overflow stream. It was only about 10 inches deep. Someone had been cutting the grass and I noticed a dead Mole which I hooked on and cast into the stream. I had a pike and big chub battling it out for it each time it passed them. Eventually the pike took it weighing in at around 10 lbs.

[@unnecessarywisdoms]

what type of rod and line did you have for this type of fishing?

[@elliotspencer8129]

I wish we had chub in Northern Ireland, seems like a fun fish to catch.

[@Lukas9877]

Maybe circle hooks wood be good ? When the fish strikes at the rat undo the bail arm and let the fish eat it and then set the hook and because of the circle hook you can let the fish eat it fir longer Only a theory Nice video 🎉

[@JWoodcock]

Definitely going to try our snake's leftover tiny mice for this.

[@Fazza-nz1hx]

The mouse who was freed when he gets home to his friends: "So there was this giant red creature trying to catch me while I was chilling on my boat. He grabbed me with his gigantic net but I just managed to escape. He tried to grab me again but obviously I was way to fast for such a big red monster. When he saw how fast I was, he didn't even try to run after me"

[@DeerCamPA]

Pike and musky actually crossbreed in my state of Pennsylvania and they get huge

[@isaiahhawk8530]

You can probably buy mice and put a rubber band around them and use them for bait unless it’s illegal because I found out where people don’t fish at and the big fish hangs out. They love to eat mice and rats more than bait fish for some reason. That’s where I fish at.

[@Whocares.........]

I hope you kept the pike for dinner!😊❤

[@cowboybowfishingoutdoors5013]

was thinking with all the missed hook sets maybe using trailer hook towards the tail as well would possibly help with more hook sets.
