Thanks Ant! At the time that was my biggest pike by a long shot, took a good while to top it too. Was very lucky to get such clear footage of it cruising around in the shallows! Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment 👍
@@adventurefishinguk no worries mate. I have yet to catch my first Pike, I was hoping it was gonna be caught this winter but it didn't happen. I'm still hopeful when we head to Scotland again in a couple of weeks so fingers crossed. I look forward to watching the rest of your content pal
@@adventurefishinguk yeah I enjoy fishing mate, I'm very new to it so don't have much experience especially in fresh water. There's so many outdoor hobbies I love, just not enough free time lol
Another great watch! And I still have plenty to catch up with! As a fairly new angler to predatory fish I’d like to see a “how to handle pike” video from you if poss??!
Brilliant George, absolute Croc mate and also huge congratulations on making 2k, huge achievement and well deserved. Keep up the top work dude. Tite Lines G 🐊🐊👍🎣

What a fight, what a video, what a fish and what a lovely lady Alison is! cracking fishing, you've been after that for so long!!! doth my hat and bloody awesome!!
Haha thank you! Been a long time coming I’m over the moon with it, we’ve fished together on that stretch too it’s usually tough to get a 5 out of there
Awsome. Had my PB canal pike in november on a 10cm handmade swimbait. 18.2 and 96 cm long. Great film. (Found you on SG homepage and decided to subscribe. Keep it up pal
Thanks mate! I've always wanted to have a go making a lure to catch a pike on but they're difficult enough as it is on my local stretch 😂 Don't have much of a talent for woodwork either! I recognise your name from the Facebook lure fishing groups, thanks for subscribing I appreciate it!
Great fish buddy !! Must be one of the last crocs from that stretch of the canal. Used to be a few knocking about round there, now it's just mainly jacks, so very well done.
Congrats. ! You a wery , wery lucky Man ... You know , made lots of mistakes and sylliness with landing net ... but finally got it ! Nice "crocodile" ...😉👍 Wish You much bigger next time !🐟
Great video and great to see that rod used as I have just ordered one today, already got the X5 Max but wanted a slightly different rod, depending on what I was targeting. Hoping to fish the stretch near the Westmoreland Show Ground as well next year when I'm there for a Scout Camp
That is a belting croc George mate. Nice bit of determined stalking that was and what a cracking reward. Shame it wasn't weighed. But she looked a heavy one. 👌👌👌
Thank you! It’s not that clear anymore 😂 after a dry spell it gets like that but it’s been chucking it down lately! Thanks for the comment and I’m glad you enjoyed the video
Hi bud just see you wicked giveaway, you have a good channel here loads of content and it's my day off today so I'm gonna sit here and watch as many as I can lol
That is a hell of a pike from a canal. You were lucky to land that but bloody well done mate. I've had 5 to 7 pounders on river shake me off when you think they are beaten. I'd estimate it's weight at about 15lbs which is huge for a canal. Brilliant. When a pike is that big they are female. Anything over 10lbs is almost defo a girl!
Thanks mate! I think it was less than 15 pound, I reckon closer to 10/11. Was quite long but not the chunkiest off fish. But yeah a great fish for the canal nonetheless! Still yet to have a river pike, hopefully this year 🤞
Is this the stretch that had grass carp put in? I heard they was all wiped out by otters but I still think there’s some in there would be good to see one come out if you fancy targeting them
Yeah it is i heard of someone catching one many years ago, it was an absolute monster. I assume they’re few and very far between, would probably take someone with a lot of carp fishing experience to be able to catch one
What an adrenaline rush watching that footage 😎 what a Pike that was 👍💯. You should really invest in a strong large net fella, Savage Gear do a lightweight folding one that's a solid design and will fit 20lb Pike inside with ease. Did you not weigh the fish then? Looked a solid 18-20lbs fish though 👌 👏
I didn't weigh this one mate no, i reckoned at the time it was about 11, maybe bigger though! When I caught a 14 the other day this one definitely felt smaller from what I remember. Glad you enjoyed the video, definitely an adrenaline fuelled fishing trip!
Thanks mate I really appreciate the support! You'll have great fun with the snake it really gets the adrenaline going, might be a bit late in the year for topwater fishing though unless we get a warm spell!
Nice one, don't think you're too fa from me, stumbled across your vids as I'm hoping to get back into some fishing and that canal is my local, hoping to do some predator fishing once I've picked up enough knowledge. Cheers, new sub :)
Thanks for subscribing mate I really appreciate it! Yeah that stretch of canal is a good place to start for sure. Let me know if you need any advice on getting started!
@@adventurefishinguk Thank you very much for the kind offer. I was thinking of an Abu Garcia 5-20g 1.83m rod with a 2000 size reel. Do you think this would be suitable for some Perch. So much choice it's a bit overwhelming. Thanks
@@mikefoley360 If thats something you've already got it would work. Better options out there for a perch rod though! Personally i prefer fishing light with smaller lures. The 5-20g rod might struggle to throw microjigs and small spinners that only weigh 1-2 grams. For the bigger lures that would work though and yeah a size 2000 reel is perfect for perch
I’ve never weighed a pike that big so I wouldn’t know! If I had to guess I’d say 11-12 but could well have been a couple more. Heart was well and truly racing haha hope you enjoyed the video
I just loved your uncontrollable excitement. Well done
Thanks Greg I appreciate that! Yeah I was really excited 😂 not felt adrenaline like that in a long time!
Huge result, Mrs B coming in BIG. She’s done more in 5 minutes than I’ve ever done as an angler
Couldn't have done it without her what a hero. I'm sure your moment will come 🎣🎣
Well done Alison (It wasn't me!) for lending a hand 👏🏻 👏🏻 absolute monster pike 🥳
I'd have struggled on my own!
Your passion is infectious, I just subscribed, can’t wait to watch all your videos, tight lines from Canada.👍
Thanks David that means a lot. Really glad you enjoyed the video!
Cool.. That was amazing! Lucky that you live so close to such great fishing locations.
Yeah I am lucky, I've blanked far more than I catch on this canal though, still spend half my life driving to the Lake District to fish 😂
Bloody hell George that was a beast! Great footage and very intense. It certainly got me and my son Charlie hooked. Class mate. Cheers, Ant 👍

There ya go!!! U getting better at wot u doin now. Big fish. Well done!!
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah this is one of the better fish I've had on the canal. The snake is great fun too
I could feel your adrenaline on this one bro 🤣 that was some edge of my seat shit lmao 👍😎
Haha this one properly got my heart racing, still feel the adrenaline now watching it!
@@adventurefishinguk 🤣👌 Thats what its all about isnt it pal. Its why we do it 💪💪😎👍
Good Job! 😁👍
Thanks mate!
Wicked video mate ! Love how excited you get 😂 keep up the great videos pal!🎣🎣🎣 catch you down the road ;)
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I was more excited about this one than I have been for a fish in a very long time haha, down the road.
Now thats a pike I'd be proud to catch, well done!!
🎣😎🐟
Thanks mate! Was definitely one of the more adrenaline filled fishing trips of my life 😂
Another great watch! And I still have plenty to catch up with! As a fairly new angler to predatory fish I’d like to see a “how to handle pike” video from you if poss??!
Good idea mate if I’m with someone next time I catch a pike I’ll get them to film me doing a quick tutorial!
Wow fair do's mate that was epic, well done, enjoying the vids, keep it up mate
Appreciate that mate thank you!

Congrats. ! You a wery , wery lucky Man ... You know , made lots of mistakes and sylliness with landing net ... but finally got it ! Nice "crocodile" ...😉👍
Wish You much bigger next time !🐟
I know! Glad I got there in the end, really wasn't expecting anything near that size!
A fair deal indeed, I’ve subscribed!! And what a pike, Congrats bro, 👍🏽look forward to the next one.
Thanks mate I really appreciate that!
Great video and great to see that rod used as I have just ordered one today, already got the X5 Max but wanted a slightly different rod, depending on what I was targeting. Hoping to fish the stretch near the Westmoreland Show Ground as well next year when I'm there for a Scout Camp
You should mate that’s near to where I had this one. I hope you used the 10% off discount code!
@@adventurefishinguk Definitely will be trying it, and yes I used the discount code! That section of the canal is part of a club isn't it ?
Yeah it’s Kendal angling association, £5 on the bank if someone asks so bring a fiver with you!
@@adventurefishinguk Excellent cheers
Super cool keep it going 👍🏻 nice handling of fish🎣
Thanks mate, glad you liked it!
.nice one the moral to this is always have your net ready as I lost one on Sunday because I never had mine ready😬 any way nice fish mate
Sorry to hear that, happened to me a couple of times before it's really annoying isn't it! Thanks for the comment 👍
Fantastic result matey 💪💪
Really pleased with this one, thanks for the comment!
Cracking video mate 👌🏻
Thanks mate I appreciate the comment!
Awesome catch mate well done! To see the take at your feet as well -- cracking

Nicely done George mate fair play to you, what a adrenaline rush that was, even my heart was going 100 miles an hr haha 😂 well done mate 👍 🎣

That is a belting croc George mate. Nice bit of determined stalking that was and what a cracking reward. Shame it wasn't weighed. But she looked a heavy one. 👌👌👌
Thanks mate! Think I’m claiming it as my first double, no more no less! Wish I had an official weight on it too definitely a PB by a long way
Absolutely superb video. Well done. OK I will subscribe . Seen your video with Rick T and watched a few others of yours

my first ever fish was a pike, caught on the lanky right there 42 years ago

Niceeee! 14/15lb? Bet the heart was racing once you knew it was liking in there
I’ve never weighed a pike that big so I wouldn’t know! If I had to guess I’d say 11-12 but could well have been a couple more. Heart was well and truly racing haha hope you enjoyed the video
Hahaha ur knees was knocking bro we'll done about 12 lb that
Yeah man I was all over the shop after this never felt such adrenaline before 😂 thanks for watching
