nice release. it's good to see someone take that kind of care to properly release a fish. i've seen too many vids of ppl just pitching pike back into the water. and, i can't believe there's actually ppl on here trying to say that's a muskie. any educated angler can pretty easily tell the difference between the two. for those who don't know, in europe especially, pike can grow to equal sizes that we in the states typically see muskie get up to. just an fyi.
look guys its as simple as tigers and leopards. tigers and muskies have stripes leopards and pike have spots. plus judging from the accents these guys live in european pike country. no muskies there beautiful fish! nice release!!
Nice one lads, impressed, got the right kit, skill, and experience to handle such an important fish, could not see a problem on the release so ignore the know nowts off the first video.
I catch so many pike and i now i do as i seem to catch more than most who fish my venue, but where do i find the actual beasts, my pb is 17lb 8oz.... but i want to catch a nessy ;)
I catch so many pike and i now i do as i seem to catch more than most who fish my venue, but where do i find the actual beasts, my pb is 17lb 8oz.... but i want to catch a nessy ;)
nice job,, to bad people got to hate before they see the truth,,,,I say eat a couple, it cost enough to catch them today,,, I do eat a few, hate on me, it's my choice
that's an absolute beast, good to see you using an unhooking mat, you should have held it at the end to let a have a breather as with every pike. but well done anyway.
that is the biggest pike ive ever seen , i caught a 26 pounder on that exact river about 3 weeks ago it had quite a big bite mark out of it and the pike itself was massive.
Well sory to disapoint you .. but it is common know to all anglers that it is a good idea to let the fish catch the breath after eing on land that long. But it is nice to see that you actually cares enough to use a madress to put it on. If you look closely it almost tips over to the right side more than once .. that is an indication on that you it did not catch its breath... But defiantly a nice catch and good to hear that it survived but that is more due to luck ...
Amazing how many people have advice for you for doing what you already do well. lol. If you'd caught and released a lesser fish likely no one would say squat. Nice job.
The guy (poochybaby69) is right- muskie is a kind of pike. You are right as well- muskie and northern pike are 2 different species, but they both belong to the same genus- pike genus. (Esox). Peace
@poochybaby69 Nonsense! Muskies (esox masquinongy) grow bigger and have dark spots on their skin. Pikes (esox lucius) have pale spots. Think before you say.
im glad to see the second part end with the release of this prime specimen. some would like to stick it up on their wall, but catching it on video and letting her go to make some babies is a better idea :)
Fukin polish cunts man coming over here and eating our pike before u know it you will be catching little jack pike all our lifes man polish fuks bk to ur own country u inbreed fuks
proper nice fish there mate.... just had a 20lb 3oz at the weekend myself and a new pb for me..so this is the next step up cant wait...all the best and tight lines..
Kudo's to you guys for the release. Near perfect replicas can be made. And yes....monsters breed monsters. I wish everyone would practice quality fish management. Very nice!!
Beautiful fish!! whata a catch!! Im a noob Angler, caught my PB yesterday which was a 7lb Pike, lovely fish. And very glad to see them returned safely.
you should have made sure it was fully recovered before letting it swim off youd be well suprised how many pike end up belly up shortly after being released!
...thanks for the tip...i never knew that!!! by the way it was well rested before the cam started rolling and has since been recaptured... i know who to come to if i need to be taught how to suck eggs.
They wont become extinct, they just go down in numbers in lakes when pikes are introduced. Happened in my lake too, ice fisherman put pike minnows in the lake and the pike are like a weed on your lawn...
As a trout and pike fisherman it severely brasses me of when I hear of trout angling clubs killing these big fish off.Although I'm glad to see more enlightened clubs not doing this.Well done lads it always does your heart good to see them slide off and swim into the depths.
I commend and salute you gentlemen for catch-n-release. Big Pike genetics spawn, well, big Pike. I always release the big ones, and save the smaller ones for eating.
Beautiful !! ... Wish I could have been there .. Just to see that fatty slide away .. Mmm .. There´s just nothing like catching a monster for then to release it again! .. Beautiful!! :D
man you guys are like heros man no one ever releases anymore but is that your biggest im not bragging but ive caught a 48 pound northern on the old fasioned dare devil
yeah up in canada im a new yorker but it wouldnt be a record i was with a guy who was 3 pounds away from biggest northern but the biggist was in the st lawrence and was 6'7 inches and 54 punds
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Okay first off, fuck all you guys who release fish. your fucking dumb you scottish faggot, i would of kept that shit. Now some other guy is gonna catch YOUR fish.. wow your an idiot
People are more educated to the fact that killing a large pike doesnt remove any problem but creates shit loads such as more deseased fish swimming freely and a shit loads more jack pike. This thing would happily munch through alot of jacks in its lifetime ok, so removing it you make problem far worse. Anyway who could hurt such a fantastic looking prehistoric creature which is the best hunter fresh water ever seen. Thay are just terriric.
totally agree with you u couldnt be more right!!! except maybe zander are better hunters coz they work together but they aint native so fuck them! pike rule!!!
