Pike content is absolutely my favorite content. They literally look like monsters and they fight like hell. We have them here in Ontario but the fact you get them in these tiny canals is wild to me.
I would just like to say that you really do produce such a quality fishing video. The shots of the Robin mixed with frost on the plants etc really do take it to another level. Love your uploads which are varied and always really interesting.. Keep them coming, but do try to have a day off over Christmas mate. Best wishes ...............
G'day Chris, awesome footage of the Pike taking the bait. You definitely need to make a blooper video , bleep out the swear words😂😂😂😂. Both the Pike were awesome, all the best form down under mate. 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Brilliant footage mate. You ain't wrong about bad anglers. My dad was a full time hobbyist fisherman for his entire adult life, took me once but we only saw each other a few times until he got cancer, we probably doubled our total visits over the next couple of months before he died. Never got to teach me so now I have to, and I am shockingly bad 😂 Went yesterday and was doing alright with the carp rod until I set the float rod up for my mate and he cast right in to a tree - lost that waggler. Then it got dark. I slipped down the bank going to cast it myself, poked a tree with the rod tip and again got it stuck in the tree. Line snapped and I managed to catch my waggler this time so thankfully no Christmas decoration left behind to ruin the view. Then cast as a gust hit and didn't account for it enough so lost my carp rig in another tree. Called it quits, thought I'd go somewhere with less trees and more light, kind of a win for everyone and everything involved 😅
Chris ,fantastic videos all of them ,takes me back ,fishing should be fun fun fun ,if there were one thing to ask it would be please encourage people to pick up litter that they find etc rivers like yours and ours need to be kept clear of rubbish, there’s nothing worse arriving at a peg to fund it full of rubbish especially if it is fishing related, enough said keep up the good work ,thoroughly enjoyable .
Pike: (Swallows camera and starts to chew, then suddenly the footage turns black and fades into skyrim) Toddroll: "ah, good! you're finally awake! you were caught crossing the border to-" (Pike gets hoisted up and the camera gets pulled out of the Pike's stomach and the footage ends)
You're a legend when it comes to sight fishing on your local river, you make it look easy, love to see you tackle bigger waters your not familiar with. I've plenty of faith you'll succeed. Prove to everyone your an all round expert pike angler. I'm like yourself and stick to my local waters. Don't have as much patience when deadbaiting on lakes weather fishing from a boat or the bank but caught more 20s in bigger waters using a closed end feeder filled with chopped fish as a ledger with popped up deadbait. Love to see you try this method in any water
TH-camrs only fish easy waters where it is literally like shooting fish in a barrel. It's much easier to keep the sponsors happy that way. I recon half the time they don't even enjoy the fishing, just the money and freebies that the views bring. Like you say, they should challenge themselves and go fish what subscribers say are hard waters. Lets see those skills in action in some real life situations. But I doubt anyone would watch 10 blank sessions in a row. And the sponsors certainly wouldn't like that. It would show that their new lure/bait/bit of tackle wasn't actually the magic solution it's made out to be, and that on the waters it has caught, you could probably catch with a safety pin on the end of a bit of string.
@@simonspencer397 I totally agree there's more of an science fishing bigger waters for specimen pike, alot of factors to take into consideration, water temperature, weather, natural food source and locating shoals in large waters in winter when they're all packed into a small area. It like finding a needle in a haystack compared to rivers where its easy to locate deep pools and slack water. Unfortunately I don't have the time to as much as I like to fish big waters so I have a quick cast down the canal or local river which I can't remember the last time I blanked. But I really enjoy watching people catching pike in all waters.
Superb Chris I felt like I was being eaten alive hhha ......you work really hard for your vids m8 fantastic footage of the surrounding wild life as always aswell ...surprised ur rod rings didn't freeze up ....thumbs up well done 👍🎣🐳
I've been fishing at a certain lake in Canada for over 15 years, where I've mostly been catching Northern Pike and Walleye, but rarely bigger than about 4 or 5 pounds. The lakebed is medium to large rocks in some places, sandy in others, and thick with reeds and weeds in other places as well. It's a relatively shallow lake, maybe 14m to 15m at the deepest, with a mean depth of about 6.3m. Do you have any advice for where I should go and what bait and methods I should use to catch more fish and/or bigger fish? My family and I have caught a few large pikes, up to maybe 17lbs, though we usually release any fish we catch that are heavier than about 7lbs or 8lbs because the big fish are better for maintaining the population in the lake. My family caught a burbot there once when I wasn't there, and until then, I didn't know they were in that lake. I'm interested in catching one for myself if you have any advice for that as well in terms of where to look, what bait and methods to use, and time of year. Very interesting video, by the way.
I haven't been catching many fish on my local canal and river during these past few weeks even though the spots have produced some quality fish in the past. I was wondering if you had any tips because its hard to go out fishing when you know you probably arent going to catch. Great underwater footage btw 👍
The biggest problem with Pike is that they taste like mud. Even the Pike caught in the very early spring, I cannot get into their flavor, so I always throw them back. I had caught a four footer back in 2002 and I thought I would give it a try again, and I ended up smoking it because it was too much like eating lake bottom, and even then it wasn't palatable, luckily I found someone who like it and gave them all six pounds of fillets. There's a lot of meat on a four foot Pike. If you want a good Lure to catch Pike on, get a Rapala rattle bait that has a black top, silver sides and a white belly, it doesn't matter if it is jointed or not, I've caught them on both, but they are simple when it comes to their bait. I keep using the same Rapala that is all scraped up and has tons of bite marks all over it and that means little to nothing to the Pike. They are lots of fun to catch, but I always throw them back. I'd rather eat Yellow Perch or Walleye. Trout are my Favorite, for fresh water species anyway. Does England have native Trout species? or are they introduced? I know of a number of countries that have trout ponds and they are not an endemic species, but trout are not a very hardy species of fish, they can be easily wiped out by species like Pike and Perch, so trout ponds are monitored for illegal introduction, since there are always people who think it's a good idea to introduce Perch into the same water and they end up killing the trout off. Just once want to catch the buggers that do that, they need to be put into jail for their crime! Millions of dollars go into Trout fisheries here, and so many ponds have been ruined by perch being illegally introduced, millions of dollars flushed down the drain because some idiot thinks it would be a good idea to have yellow perch in the pond as well! Sorry for the rant. cheers
King of underwater footage! People always say that's the last thing a fish sees taken it to a new level now brilliant video 👌
Underwear? That smells fishy..
@@mergru6371 hahaha
You are definitely one of the most under rated fishing channels on this app!
Pike content is absolutely my favorite content. They literally look like monsters and they fight like hell. We have them here in Ontario but the fact you get them in these tiny canals is wild to me.
I never really thought pike where too much of a fighter. It seemed like every time i got one they just swam the opposite way.
Hard to beat some ginger fisherman pike content!
Absolutley speechless! Lovely video like always. Tight lines!
Snagged bro, fishing with carl and then Sensei Ginger drops a video. Perfect Saturday.
We love what you're doing Chris! 🔥🎣
Above and beyond for such a cold day, beautiful work Bro! Many thanks for sharing it with us ! 🙂👍🏆🐳
Haha, amazing!!!! Pike-endoscopy!!! 👏👍
I can’t lie man. I’ve never seen someone in fishing be as creative as you. Online anyway!
This was absolutely awesome, I’ve never seen anybody do this, well done Chris and thanks for sharing
Brilliant from start to finish . Thank you for your efforts

Well done mate, love your videos, every one of them . thank you.
Interesting video of pike eating the camera

Cool underwater footage.I like that long handle net you used.Looks perfect for roving along a river with a steep bank.What make/model is it?
Love your videos Chris
Liked the one with Carl also

do you ever eat any fish you catch
Class Chris
Cool, invented the GoFish Cam with my brother. Fun to see these videos on TH-cam.
All rivers, deads, or lures. Some slightly warmer weather on the way fingers crossed it opens up some of the other venues for us 👍👍
That made me feel queasy ☺️🤣
At first I thought it was hand until I saw the gills lol
I haven't been catching many fish on my local canal and river during these past few weeks even though the spots have produced some quality fish in the past. I was wondering if you had any tips because its hard to go out fishing when you know you probably arent going to catch. Great underwater footage btw 👍
Try putting a bait on the hook, should work ok in this weather
I love you man.
did you eat the fish ?
Hahaha that was great!
In Alberta, Canada we call Pike "Slew Sharks". Cheers!
Mega video!
as a small fish when the last thing you see is some loverly gill rakers you can be assured that your next birthday party will be a sad affair
So when did the pike eat your camera? Did not see it.

Where did you hide the camera? You mean to tell me it was in the mackerel?
5:14
I already know its gonna be good
Hope your doing well
Get in!
That first pike is definitely a spring/ summer beast id say based on the head close to 15lb
Way-cool!
very nice footage, but be careful with taking the pike up the water. it might destroy their eyes when it´s cold.
Niece video👍
Thats was cool as fuck , love ur videos look forward to them every week
@gingerfisherman
video starts at 5:35
👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪
looks like my colonoscopy video
Great!
Where did you get your roach from can't get them anywhere mate
nice!
Loved the video, but if I might say, bit extreme for bite indication.
5:38 - Underwater footage.....
What Jonah saw lol
Pretty sure that is Illegal to do in Canada
Canada has so many dumb rules
Finding it impossible to catch any pike in these freezing conditions😤
Minus 2 in the afternoon last Sunday here on the Nene. The pike were feeding like mad. You need dead bait , very slow wobbled baits or lures
@@thepikeangler2022 I fish the nene too mate has been like minus 7-8 overnight fish don’t seem to be on it at all
If those fish eat deadfish, what else dead do they eat
Live fish
That is some way to go for pike fishing tight lines crack on
One word cool
