Jack (male) pike trying to scare me underwater.

A very nice short bit I filmed in April 2011 but I missed it when I was putting together the spring pike episodes of 2011. That place was spawning grounds and you can see how the jack was trying to scare me away.

Would love to see some underwater footage of pike taking live/dead fish and same with other species of fish and there feeding habits

@XStormOfSoulsX I would like to film that stuff as well and I hope I'll get a chace (will find time) to do it this year.

@fjeppesen It's very hard to judge by looking at a single fish, but it was spawning itme and all females were fat (had big bellies) because they were carrying eggs. Also you couldn't find single famale alone - they were always surrounded by males. Only males protect their territory at spawning time. If you want to see females check out my other videos ('Monster pike: face to face with a predator').

How do you see what is female and what is male ?
