I'm very impressed that you were fishing for one specific fish and caught it. Very glad you were able to save her. Pike can live for 20-25 years, so you really did a great thing.
@@gavinstarling8737 and if ppl wouldent eat meat , all animals would be Safe and over populating the world , IF humans dident exist , the Earth would be a much cleaner place , so your point is ? Kill all humans and make the Earth a better planet ?
Think in this day and age if a hook and line was submerged in water for a few weeks would be degrade, I'm subscribing simply as he saved a fish which big size 1s are in decline, Well done fella pat your self on back from all pike anglers, That looked a powerful pike now can grow to be a Beast of a fish
Your a good man , with a caring heart Chris . Another great job and iam so surprised nobody has approached you to do a TV show on your passion for fishing etc . I believe if they did it would be a great success. Keep up the good work .
There should be more fisherman and fisherwomen doing great things like this gentlemen has done here. Its vital we look after our fish and the environment they live in if fishing is going to be a hobby to be enjoyed by everyone in years to come. We must have respect for our fish and wildlife in general and leave each fishing spot we use clean from fishing debris. Great work Sir job well done :)
That is what i call a top fisherman. Your fish handling is superb, you didbt try to do everything at once. You understood how important it was to let the fish breathe and rest up from all its fighting. Kudos my man.
@@TrainsAndTrees Totally agree with you, I've never used deadbait for fishing for pike, and also never use treble hooks, awful things in my opinion, I only use a single hook, I'll probably get grief of the pike fisherman who use treble hooks but that's expected.
This is insane the fact you have gone there to find that one specific pike to help it out and actually caught it is mental. hats off to you fair play👏👏
I was pike in fishing in Co Cavan in the '80s. I saw people fishing for these beauties with a pop bottle, free drifting with a bait on trebbles underneath. RESPECT THESE FISH!
made me laff the bream - we used to have the best Bronze dustbin lids in the UK in East Anglia on the broads ,huge shoals ,all; hybrids now unless you can get to where humans cant in the sticks - id be overjoyed at a little bronzer :D
Made my day watching this. 40 years ago when I was an ill-equipped teenager I caught a strong and healthy looking fine specimen of a pike by mistake and after a big fight, he got away with my hook and 10 pound line in his mouth. I still feel the guilt but this clip has reduced some of my guilt even though it would be a different pike.
Awesome job mate, the fact you managed to rescue the pike and make it an informative educational based video on the do’s and don’t’s for those who don’t know is great. Always enjoy the content so thanks for keeping them coming!
I just ran into your channel,and wanted to congratulate you on the empathy you have for life!!!!! May you have a better year than last and continue to progress always!!!!!!
No kidding Cheryl.....I love it that somebody took the time to report this fish was in trouble and that they knew Chris was the guy to get the job done!
Well done Chris. Never been into fishing but enjoyed watching how you saved the lovely Pike from suffering the torment it was going through. Bless ya .
Excellent job. Pike are very fragile fish and your care in getting those hooks out and returning it in to the water in great health is very heartening. Well done, Sir.
I'm not a fisherman but appreciate what you did there. People think that if you hunt or fish , you do'nt have the best interest of the quarry at heart. That just is not true. Good for you Ginge, very healthy pike, thanks to you.
Hey Chris! I've been watching your videos throughout the dreaded lockdowns and you've kept me inspired to hit the canals for jack and perch. Always great to see anglers like yourself respecting the art of watercraft and the species in the water. Keep up the videos man! Always a welcome watch when I come home from work and want to get the ultralight out! Top regards from a fellow Ginger fisherman
The thing I love about Chris's fishing is the fact that he never over estimates a fishes weigh. Most fishermen I come across would have estimated this Pike at low 20's 😎🐳
Fantastic stuff mate, we need ambassadors like you to show the positive aspects of our sport which is often marred by a minority of thoughtless, heartless, and reckless individuals.
Just the title of this video is enough for me to give a like, that said i like all your videos but anyone who goes out of their way to help someone or something gets my respect, great work mate.
Great job Chris. Enthusiasm, skill and educational all at the same time! Really enjoy your channel - but this particular video has it all. Well done and keep up the great work!
Respect the environment, respect the fish! For all the fun these awesome creatures give, the VERY least we can do is look after their welfare. This was something we instinctively knew back in the day. It just seems that common decency is missing from so much of today's society. Great job, Chris, and the person who alerted you to the pike in peril.
Great job dude it’s very good of you to make a trip just to help this fish out. It only right too they provide us with so much sport, They should be looked after by the whole community.
Amazing. Snagged bro also did this, caught the pike on a hookless lure, the pike was dragging a lure that was hooked in the side of its belly . They saved it successfully also
That was outstanding. Absolutely outstanding. I'm sitting here watching thinking, "Someone spotted a pike? How the heck are you supposed to find it?!" And I guess that the location was more contained than I imagined, although I felt like even a contained area would have some selection of pike to choose from and you spot it right off!. That was just fantastic to watch and your planning was brilliant. Keep the fish mostly in water and then work on it in spurts as quickly as possible. Great video, again!
My PB pike was caught on a tiny minnow lure in a foot of water while I was perch fishing. I was very very lucky the line held together as I was using an ultra light 5ft6 rod. It was the hardest fight of my life and Im just happy the line didnt snap and leave the lure in the pikes mouth !
Same. Deep water retrieving my line to check my bait and she hit on the way up. Was able to land mine also. I had a live minnow on the end of a small hook for perch
Hi Chris, as many people have already said, well done for taking the time and making the effort to find the pike you were told about and making it a successful catch unhook and release to go and get even bigger! Also, it's nice to have people who care about the wellbeing of the fish. You are obviously the 'go to guy ' nicely done. 👌
you're a saint, hate the conception that fish don't feel pain or experience an existence that makes them unique and individually special, not just an ingredient in a recipe
That's a new dimension to 'targetted fishing': awesome job rewarded with a dito pike. And btw, you pulled out three hooks out of her mouth, not just two ;-)
Well done mate for saving this gorgeous pike, nice to see some people actually like pike, alot do not. They are part of the balance of water systems keeping them in top condition. Top man👍
This is what Vloging is all about. Giving the comunity an example about how to be responsible, 👍👍We need more of this. Well done , you deserved every subcriber you can get
Well done Chris, doing the right thing and will hopefully bring some fish Karma your way to help the channel grow. Looking forward to more Pike vids in the future!!
I am so happy you managed to save that beautiful fish. Is crazy how strong they are and how they can survive even with hooks in. Lovely day for both you and the pike. Well done mate.
Well done for catching that pike.now this is what we like about the fishing community.we look after the fish.this is where the youngsters get a bad rep.because they never use the right tools or set up and then you get fish or birds caught up.was just talking to our local bayliff the other week about this.parents or grandparents this is where we educate.as a newbe to your chanel your doing a great job.subbed.
I'm very impressed that you were fishing for one specific fish and caught it. Very glad you were able to save her. Pike can live for 20-25 years, so you really did a great thing.
That is the mindset of a real fisherman. (The person noticing that pike and you removing the hooks/lines). Well done!
I couldn’t agree more wouter 👍
Thing is if it wasn't for people fishing the Pike wouldn't be in this situation in the first place
@@gavinstarling8737 and if ppl wouldent eat meat , all animals would be Safe and over populating the world , IF humans dident exist , the Earth would be a much cleaner place , so your point is ? Kill all humans and make the Earth a better planet ?

Ppl don't realize that most fisherman are also very concerned conservationists. Well done sir! Big respect from east coast, USA.
But he killed a healthy Roach to catch it?
@@25is27 see your point. He should have eaten the pike. I would have.
This guy is quickly becoming my favourite TH-cam fisherman. Well done on such a stand up job. 👍🏼
He already is mine 🤣🤣🦾
It might have taken the fish when got it on I have had pike take my maggot and got them out
@@davidsimssims8289 pike on maggots thats a 1st 🤣🤣🤣
Yes on maggot they do occasionally take when fishing not big ones but on the river and the canal
@@Jordan-jo8wc Is it heck, people have caught Pike on Maggots, worm's, boilies fake corn ect for years.

Great to see someone who genuinely cares about fish welfare, bet that that pike was so relieved to have all those hooks and line removed, nice one.
If you genuinely care, you wouldn't fish, would you.
@@DrDeepstack lol
@@DrDeepstack Doh.
Please explain how killing one fish to save another one translates to "genuinely cares"?

Absolute top job Chris 🙌 Top man helping out that beautiful lump of a pike.

At the 7 minute and 35 second marker there is a dirty syringe in the net with the fish.

I absolutely love the respect and care you show to the fish you catch. Outstanding.
It is always comfortable to see a person taking care of an animal in distress ... and to point it out is very important
Well done for your efforts Sir. A fabulous little piece of Pike medication.
Such a good man you are Chris , you here of a pike in distress and got there and saved it with nearly surgical treatment bravo mate!!!
Great job and I am astonished at how skillfully you targeted the one fish. Lovely that the fish can go on and prosper.
Well done Chris. Never been into fishing but enjoyed watching how you saved the lovely Pike from suffering the torment it was going through. Bless ya .
Kudos to you Chris, top bloke doing an amazing job of keeping our wonderful species in top condition 🎣🎣
Excellent job. Pike are very fragile fish and your care in getting those hooks out and returning it in to the water in great health is very heartening. Well done, Sir.

Awesome work. So good seeing responsible fishermen looking out for the fish.
The care you take with all the fish you catch is a big reason I keep watching

Great video Chris. Great compassion for the fish. We should all learn a lesson from this. Fantastic fella

Great job ! Never ever took a pike with others hooks than mine. This one was really unlucky, beside from meeting you :)
Amazing video, it's great to see people like you doing stuff like this. Carring for fish goes unnoticed by most people I think.
That's a new dimension to 'targetted fishing': awesome job rewarded with a dito pike. And btw, you pulled out three hooks out of her mouth, not just two ;-)
Wonderful video, lovely to see a true fisherman at work
Looks like someone was just float fishing and the pike took the roach
