Monster Northern Pike - 90 fish over 20 lbs!

[shadoww1000]

.i know where this is..may well be.. or could well be and good on u not telling ... we dont :P

[SissingPyd]

Killed too many big hen fish guys, thumbs down from me.

[sask523]

must be saskatchewan

[mikecorbeil]

Nice northern pike your group caught though!

[mikecorbeil]

It looks like you were fishing icy waters and fish grow larger for winter months. Catch the same ones during summer and they'll have lost plenty of weight. I believe that's true for all fish in northern waters and it definitely was for Chain Pickerel in Massachusetts. A friend caught a 27-incher during summer and it barely weighed over 3lb, max 4lb. A friend and I caught a 27-incher ice-fishing and it was a little over 7lb.

They can't move fast in icy water, so they capture less prey then.

[mikecorbeil]

What makes you say that these fish are or were "on the last year or two of their lives" ? Northern Pike can grow considerably larger than the ones your group caught, though perhaps not in the waters you were fishing. The record sized one caught in No. America and that I read about in the 1970s was well over 40lb, but under 50. Wikipedia says one of the record ones in No. America was 46lb. So at 30lb, I'ld guess that they had more than a year or two left to live.

[ReV0NUE]

it was probly the same 5 fish the whole time.

[jgmetals81]

what the f**k was with the bullshit release at 1:35...what a dbag.

[worrior777]

@nwtstretch Do you have any good ways of getting pike off the hook without getting the hook in your own hand. I dont to ever want to hurt the fish but i am always getting the hook in a finger or hand. 4 times this year i have had to have a hook removed. HELP. ty man. you sound fish savvy so i thought id ask. thanks for your help.

[mikecorbeil]

@worrior777 Using a pair of pointy- and long-nosed pliars works, but fishing tackle stores also sell long-handled hook removers that are kind of like pliars at the end. The latter is better to use, if you ever catch fish and the lure is far into the mouth, where hooks can get caught in the deep part of the mouth, whatever it's called. Regular long-nosed pliars work, but while you can manage with them, what's sold in fishing tackle stores is surely the better recommendation.

[mavy1900]

When picking up a Pike or weighing it, you should not hold it vertically due to the intestines of the fish being to heavy and can damage, to weigh get just a net withough a handle and put the fish in it and hook a weigh at the top.

[ShutUpAndFishCanada]

Winnipeg river! I caught my biggest pike there too! I wish I had the video camera with me that day!

Great video guys!

[fromrussiawiluv]

@nwtstretch actually they dont live in a gravity free environment. you may weigh less, but you arent weightless. even astronauts say that the testing they do in nasa pools is nothing like being in space, because graivty still governs you. when you are upside down in a pool you still rattle around in the space suit but when you are in space you float around inside of it.

[TheHomequest]

Makes me sick seeing that beauty launched from shoulder height. Looks like a great time, but seriously guys, use a cradle. These 20lbers are likely over 20years old and deserve better treatment and respect. How you handle and release these monsters is sooo crucial to their survival, despite common thought, pike are not hardy, you guys probably killed 30% of the pike you "released". Lets make sure my son and your son get this experience too. You did hammer some beauts

[TheTokig]

What's your dads old record then?

[meeoff]

Some fine trophy waters you have discovered! As you mentioned in your video, you kept your trophy fish for the wall. Good on you and your crew for doing that. I don't understand the negative posts, I think it is more for the jealousy than anything else. Be proud of what you guys have accomplished. It's not every day you see fish that size on one body of water.

Cheers!

[kiteyaker]

What is Dad's biggest?

[BigwalleyesDotCom]

You guys really should hire guides and get an idea of how its done. Its just a shame that the Sk government has seen fit to open up these areas to the "pork and bean" crowd.

[funkster22657]

damm ya take time to upload a video and folks have so much neg. you should just let those people live your lives for you... now wheres that river haha

[Ryantube007]

dont bash people who keep fish. I fish for sport. what i keep i eat. Although I never keep large fish, because although the young are the fiture of most lakes, the large ones are the greatest spawners despite any risk for faulty eggs. I bet those 4 you kept would have produced several hundred healthy spawn.

[MrMrtiki]

No wonder you were using kokanee  - (beer) as bait Ha Ha Ha

[xRAWSAWx]

also for everyone bitching, they only kept 4 fish, what if they kept them all? lol no room for them in the boat. stop being a bunch of communist douchebags trying to conform everyone to your buttfucking lifestyle

[xRAWSAWx]

I like to see people bitching lol it's funny. why dont you get your lazy asses off your computer and go try to catch a northern that big? good luck.

[ShutUpAndFishCanada]

What lake/state were you guys fishing? Those are some hogs! Also what baits were you using? Keep up the sweet videos!!

[CCMAR]

The way you released it at 1:35 is so disrespectful....Catch and Release properly, don't just throw the fish back in the lake!!!

[DariusPiche]

theres bigger fish here holy shit

[moosesteak7]

90 DEAD fish over 20 pounds!! LOL nice fish handling. Retards.

[paulinbaysville]

Good job pulling those pike right off the spawning beds and keeping them. I'm sure you put a nice big dent in the population. Yeehaw!!!

[TheKithkhan]

you guys def need to learn to handle big pike. you say no fish were hurt i saw plenty who prob wont live a month after your releasing them you guys are the type that give good fishermen bad names

[lunachk]

If you look up "lindquistimages" on facebook, you come up with a location in Minnesota. It's not likely they caught these fish in Minnesota, but they're obviously not far from the great pike fishing in central and western Canada.

[lunachk]

What's the point in bragging about the fishing, and how you caught and released so many (but still kept a few), and posting this video, if you're not going to tell anyone where it was shot?

[codon360]

Your Obv Red Neckes

[johannrecht67]

what a waste

[mayfairbay]

silsbylakelodge is catch n release but the same fishing..!!

[mayfairbay]

silsby lake.............?

[BensBold54]

wow what a waste. there's no need to keep fish that big with graphite and fiberglass replicas that last longer. you guys handle them like they're 24 inch hammer handles. they're big fish that need to be supported throughout their length, just like the other people on this thread have mentioned. You should know better. No lake that big south of the Canadian border gets left alone enough for trophies like that and up there it takes 20-30 years to grow a fish like that.

[EliteNinjaTurtle]

Madness! 2 pike on at once and one in the boat!

[carndrifter]

what was dads record?

[adamt35]

I can't believe you kept those big beauties!! Theres a lake where I live that had 30 pounders in it 20 years ago.. all the pike there now are 1-2 pounds cause of people like you guys!! let others enjoy those fish too! you said yourself they don't taste good when they are that big.. shameful.....

[bassglx]

nice fish but dont keep the big boys

[bartidge]

Wow... nice fish... also a nice display on how not to handle big pike, unfortunately... these animals are apex predators and you are tossing them around like panfish...

...and keeping 4 trophies 25 lb.+ at the end of the day... sorry, that is simply disgraceful...

There is a reason to take detailed pictures - good taxidermists can create exact replicas with good photos and no fish have to die.

Impressive spot you have there, can't say your group deserves it, however...

[LordEzzat]

Fenominal Fish, but lousy dumb fishermen.

[guinea44]

DYYYYING TO KNOW WHERE THIS IS! Please share! :)

[ridebmx1324]

thats the NWT no question,and u guys are right,they all need a big fish handling lesson,obvious rookies that never saw a pike frenzy like that before in their lives

[Mowglibaloo2]

Sounds like bill murray taking the picture! Nice fish, don't listen to these haters, they probably live in Toronto and frequent KFC and Mcdonalds and have no Idea where the meat comes from, or how it gets to their table.

[mongo0606]

i would have bounced that pike off the side off my boat when i was throwing it back in, just like i do with dirty old rock bass

[heshinj]

thats so savage one of thoughs trophy fish could have fed all 5 of you fat fucking idoits

[cdmoon240]

that is probably the most embarrassing thing i have ever witnessed. not only did you keep those fish, but the ones you released you fucking threw into the water.

that old piece of shit should of known better but i guess not.

[survivingthenorth]

it must be in northwest territories or lake athabasca up here in canada

[RoyObannen]

Pulling a 30lb fish out to keep is disgusting.

[Jayboyy101]

What lake is that ?

[lindquistimages]

@Jayboyy101 it's not a lake, thats all i will say

[sl26t]

"here you go boy, catch and release" - why would that old fuck throw a fish back into the water like that? you guys are ruthless fisherman

[Gypscrew]

some people on this comment section are just stupid, you know who you are.

Anyways, nice catches.

[welderMTL]

considering how much shit a fish has to go through in its its cruel to keep them

[mrcalvillo]

great fish! stoopid fisherman!

[Tote1883gas]

Shameful, you give us Pike anglers a bad name with the way you handled those fish. Its twats like you that the anti fishing tree hugging lentil baking wankers are looking for

[DiamondKeyLodge]

What a shame.

[crashishlaroche]

Nice fish but sad to see them handled like that. It looks like an old vid, hope you guys have evolved a little conservation wise. You should never net big pike, for starters. And all those big fish are the females, likely twenty years old or more. Keep a few to eat and let those big spawners lay eggs and pass on their genes.

[saacmanfarrell]

You guys caught some trophy pike, props. But you should all be ashamed for the way you handled those beautiful pike. You were very fortunate for catching such nice fish, but man, you probably killed all of them. They're called trophies for a reason, treat them like trophies. You guys look like a bunch of stupid red necks. Show some class and respect for such nice fish! This video makes me sick!

[bnvcharger07]

well said. fukin red neck meatheads

[yoda12145]

looks like kickass pike lake.

[djunasman]

Should be titled NINTEY PIKE THAT WENT BELLY UP! Who taught you how to handle fish?! This video pisses me off. You probably killed almost every fish you "released"! Terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperFishfan]

@djunasman

You're wasting your breath. They're selfish cunts and don't give a damn.

[Weirdoguy55]

MY LAST NAME IS PIKE!

[Moordzy]

alive or dead bait ??

[SuperFishfan]

Good point Stretch. These are beautiful fish. You have to take care of them. Either cradle them or land them by hand. Did you have fun untangling them from the net after rou dumped it on the bottom of the boat and they did the death roll? Netting big pike, especially in the manner you did, kills them. You got some nice fish, but the way you handle them makes you look like a selfish idiot.

[fishinwflies]

Hanging fish vertical like that is bad for them. If you are going to weigh them , do it in a sling and subtract the weight of the sling. You have a few habits that could be improved on.

[Opress1]

Hey!! Can you tell where you're fishing?? That's really unbelievable!!!!

[Freakovich]

agree

[MrGOODFISHING]

Keeping four big fish in one day give your head a shake. Your the reson why lake get fished out.

[lindquistimages]

If every person only kept 1 of every hundred fish they caught like we did that day then the lakes would thrive. Plus my keeper U see looks great on my wall. Thanks for the comment.

[19thepyrochilibean]

why didn't you eat it?

[SuperFishfan]

If everyone handled fish like you guys do that lake would be fucked,

[tqadir007]

@lindquistimages nice job repecting the fish by throwing it back like that dickhead, people like you shouldnt be allowd to fish anywhere.

[bartidge]

@lindquistimages Wow... nice fish... also a nice display on how not to handle big pike, unfortunately... these animals are apex predators and you are tossing them around like panfish...

...and keeping 4 trophies 25 lb.+ at the end of the day... sorry, that is simply disgraceful...

[CCMAR]

@lindquistimages I hear that, but you could always get replicas made!!

[bitchtitzable]

@MrGOODFISHING If they caught ofer a hundred fish and only keeped 4 out of a hundred think oof all the onse they dident catch and you know these people have to eat sometime ... fish gota swim humans gota eat buddy..

[anci3ntrnq]

@bitchtitzable and you sir, need to learn proper english.

[ruscccpsia2010]

@MrGOODFISHING Do you realize that keeping fish can actually IMPROVE the lake. A lake that has too many pike can decrease the numbers of other game fish. Its been proven by over stocking lakes with northern pike other game fish numbers dropped dramatically. Pike are predators and survive pretty well on their own and taking a few big ones doesn't hurt anything.

[Nevoexpo]

Whats the record your dad got? :P

[roksys69]

DICKS got a nice 27 pounder roflmao

[jack85635]

niiiice....: )

[LtSplatter]

that net is shredding their tails bad news

[bigmacjosh69]

What did u use

[g3300porno]

Everybody thinks i'm wierd, becasue i like fishing, and i've try to get other, more normal hobbies, but i just CAN'T STOP FIDHING! It's the greatest feeling to have a nice biggie caught on the hook, just pulling the wire.

[tmakidd0703]

your not wierd it is a normal hobbie im 15 and i fish whenever and where ever. also my mom fishes and she doesnt go for pussy shit she goes for this shit in this video.

[roksys69]

true dat im in the same situation. bus fishing is a real Hobie or should i say reel Hobie(pun intended) lol

[roksys69]

just got my new pike rig set up.

browning six rivers baitcast reel

Berkly xt tough red

[roksys69]

wait the line sucks never get it im now using seaguar red label mainline 100% flouro

[piacono]

hasn't anyone there learned your not supposed to weigh big fish by sticking the weighing hook under their jaw. Your supposed to use a weighing sack. Plus the guy who throws the pike from shoulder height into the water, he should be banned from treating fish this way...

[6billionANDone]

agreed

[thrasher0105]

Nice, my biggest northern was 46"

=]

[cdoutdoorsman]

I'll give a wild guess that you's were in Canada?.?.?

[roksys69]

probaly

we got great pike in canada.

there is a good lake but small and not known of but limit states right from the alberta sportfishing guide "limit: pike: 1 over 100cm(3ft).

i have a small question about that and not many people understand, does it mean that you can keep fish under 100cm or it has to be over

thanks alot

[8174374]

fish has to be over 100cm and thats not very big like 40inch any way s wut lake is it

[roksys69]

the lake is called cow lake it is very small but lots of fish in fall

[8174374]
