Having more kids just means more fishing buddies later! I have 9 kids and I'm never alone on the water! When I'm old and grey I know they'll drag me out there too!

[@wychwoodmcduff7957]

Congratulations Chris, wonderful news! Another great video and a stunning pike.

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

I think there are two different schools of piking.... I was always taught that some pike wont always immediately swallow a deadbait. Especially if the bait is particularly a large one. They pick it up, swim with it and attempt to rotate it so they can swallow it easier. Ive had pike pick up a bait, swim with it a while then drop it and never touch it again. Either it felt the hooks or maybe there was something more tastier floating by that they couldnt miss. In any case, Id rather lose a fish then having to deal with an issue of deep hooking. Less stress for everybody.

[@wilmawife]

Just for conversation, in the mid 60s when I started fishing the "experts " advice was the pike picked up the bait you let it swim away until it stopped to turn the bait so it was head first then as it moved away you set the hook, I prefer your method. And congratulations to you and mum on the birth of the baby.

[@kemalhussein6106]

Congratulations Chris...on the family addition and as always an amazing video of Pike captures! 16½lb'er from anywhere is awesome but even more so from a river/canal.

[@adrianharrod3767]

Congratulations on the birth of your new baby Chris, and like you I have always struck my pike fishing as soon as it takes the bait and I have never had a deep hooked fish to this date in over 40 years of piking

[@grahampelling6828]

Huge congratulations on the birth of your new son and many thanks for all of your videos! As I no-longer live in UK, I do miss my English freshwater fishing, particularly pike and perch, so I enjoy seeing you regularly do battle with a range of species ... many of them weighing more than your new son 😁. Keep up the great work Chris.
