- Not very often we can go hunting for massive pike on the Lake of Menteith using deadbaits. With the PAAS you can if your lucky enough to be allocated a boat.
On this trip I am joined by Lewis. Together we decided to go for 1 big one. Catching loads was not our target. Catching 1 massive pike was the aim.
Venue - Lake of Menteith

Club - Pike Anglers Alliance for Scotland
Method - deadbaiting with floats as markers from the boat.

Always a good watch mate never knew you could pike fish on the menteith always thought it was a fly only trout fishery
Thank you. Yeh there’s 2 clubs that get access a few times a year onto the water to target pike.

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoy them.
Looked a good day out lads 👏🏼
Thanks. It was a good day. Looking forward to the next adventure.
Weather was nice for yous, defo need the sunnys on days like that
It did rain a lot. Just never filmed much of it. Was Baltic too when the wind started a wee breeze. Just takes the heat right out you.
Well done lads unlucky about the fish you lost looked a decent fish with the amount of line it took 👍
It definitely felt stronger than the 20s I’ve had before. I can only dream of how big it was. Couldn’t stop it taking line. Hopefully one day I’ll land one that size.
Class lads some belters landed 👌that 15 defo looks bigger on camera
Looked huge in the water too. Can only imagine how massive that one I lost was. Oh well. More reason to keep going ae.
@@HookedOnAngling Defo mate the 30lb will come soon, i bet before the end of the year 🎣🎣🎣
Class video defos hit lomond caught a few jacks round at balmaha
Thank you. Yeh I’ve been to Lomond a couple times. But never on my wee tiny boat. It’s registered now so will be heading out sometime soon. I went on the canoe a few times. But got blown off fishing spots so quick. Didn’t have a chance really.
@@HookedOnAngling i have only had luck over balmaha last time i was down a guy got a 22 pounder trolling in the middle of the loch i was out at a wee loch and got 2 last weekend they where about 7 pounds but beets the blank thats was on the deadbaits cant wait to get big girl on the deads mate
It holds big fish that’s for sure. Seen someone get a 26lb pike there.
Heard of stories of great fish being landed. Just such a big loch. I spent the last 2 years learning about them. Now I feel ready to be able to find them on it.
I caught my first decent pike there whilst perch fishing.
Any idea what caused the loss of the big pike?
My lack of experience most likely. I use barbless hooks too. So tend to loose more than I’d like.
She was head shaking a lot just before she came off. Heart breaking loosing a fish like this. I believe I’ve had a few very big fish on. But this was by far the heaviest I’ve had on yet. Couldn’t do nothing about her runs. She maxed out the drag and was taking line as she pleased.
Honoured to have found such a fish. Maybe this year I’ll finally land a 30+! That’s the dream anyway.
Luckily I learn from the mistakes. I probably rushed the fight and could have let her run a bit more. I was worried about the anchor at the back though. So tightened to try change her direction.
I’ve only been fishing 2 years and this was my first year targeting bigger pike. The more I learn the better I should get 🤞
