Great catch, that is a lovely pike!!!! My set up is the same as yours, unfortunately the pike I have caught on it hasn't been as big as your. I'll get one!!!!🎣😎
Cheza Hi Cheza, thanks. It’s such a great little setup. I do love Fox rods as they are nice fast blanks. Let us know when you get a good one and if you have any photos we’ll happily share them to our Facebook page for you. Tight lines. Jay
Have to say bud, fair enough if you want the extra sport on lighter gear, but I feel that you should factor in the extra stress that puts on the fish and keep them out of the water less time than you appear to have in that video. Not meant to get your back up, each to their own, just food for thought :)
Hi there Dan, thanks for the feedback. What the video doesn’t show is that for the majority of the time the fish was captured it was in the landing net in the water recovering. I think for the next film we should focus more on showing that so our films don’t give the wrong idea. Thanks again for the feedback. Always appreciated. ☺️👍🏼
I have a 20-100G rod, I have caught 4 pike on it, yet each pike was on a downsized westin crankbait at 15g, one was tiny, another was a jack, and then i caught a possible 8-10lb, I have never got so much as a bite with my larger lures despite having a large and expensive range of any lures you could think of, not entirely sure why, I assume its due to the lack of massive pike in my area hence why when i downsize ill always get bites
That’s bad angling to use a rod that light you said you don’t want to exhaust the pike but that is exactly what you did just step up rod size still get good fight
Sadly your comments show your inexperience as an angler. If you think that length of fight is exhausting the fish you have a lot to learn. I wish you well.
Been pike fishing 40 years mate think I am experienced enough to make this comment the rod you are using is to light for fish that size you don’t have enough control if it went for snag you risk killing the fish and looks like where your fishing is very snaggy
@@tomfifoot5252 I’ve been fishing that stretch for over 40 years. I know it very well and where all the snags are. I like to match my gear to my prey. For inexperienced anglers definitely a heavy set up is best but a good well experienced angler doesn’t need a broom handle to pull them in. No sport in that.

Awesome pike!
Ty PigPatrol Thanks Ty. ☺️👍🏼
hi
what is the name of the rod and lure that you used to catch the pike?
thanks
I just purchased a 5 to 15 g rod and a 23g westin lure. 🤨
Nice twisted line with the reeling in and the drag set so loose...
The drag was set perfectly well to play that fish. ☺️👍🏼
5-15 is for perch, bass and such... 15 gram lures wont get you many double diggit pikes. I love the 30-110 range and lures about 60 gram.

I’ve had double digit pike more than I can remember with small lures. ☺️👍🏼

No sport in that.
