Wow,congratulations to you from Ireland. I fish on lough derg lake in Ireland for pike and love it..if I catch a pike just half that weight I will be ecstatic.
@@ScottishWildFishing I've told all my subs from my channel to come across and give you channel a follow and posted it to the channel Facebook page. I loved fishing Menteith even if I tended to be pestered by big Rainbow Trout didn't matter 10" jerkbait got me Trout , Joey Mackerel got me Trout hahaha Got a few PAC & PAAS days on the lake beautiful place to fish.
Thanks david, again much appreciated! Yeah the trout can be a nightmare some times, this fish was picked up on a gada sardine and there was no trout action lol, great place to fish, I believe there is bigger in there aswell!
@@ScottishWildFishing oh I agree, Menteith at the right time of year will do a 40plus. I can remember fishing places like Venachar in the trossachs in the early 2000s when it did the 40 at the farm end but that was before the venue went down hill, when I was based up in RAF Kinloss I was enjoying the Highland lochs had some cracking Pike from there.
Yes agree 100%, alot of people talk about venacher, there was a 30+ out last year and this year, I have fished it a few times and had a couple of Jack's, also fished it on the float tube and had to work hard for a couple of broonies! Love the highland wild lochs but got to take where you can get just now with how the country is! Also planning a trip over to Ireland with the boat when time allows!
Thanks mate, yeah we were gutted but it does happen, we have landed over 100+ pike this year (not all big!) And that's the first time it happened, people will always have an opinion on setup etc but didn't see the point in hiding it, happens to the best aswell! Tight lines 🎣
Have to agree with David bourne's comment here, 80lb +., That line parted far too easy. We all make mistakes though, once we correct the mistake that's the main thing!. Congratulations on a truly Giant Fish. Magnificent 👍
Appreciate your opinion mate and do agree was just pointing out that its easy to say it wouldn't happen with braid but then the weak point becomes the fish and rips it to pieces. Thanks again 🎣
@@ScottishWildFishing I'm not sure I understand you? Can u give me an example of how a fish could be ripped to prices with 80lb braid, if you convince me then I will stop using it. Genuine question.
@@richarddunne9875 not meaning anyone should stop using braid, I use braid myself. What I meant by replying to the original comment was if it was braided line and the fish was tangled, I have seen issues in the past with the fish then being stuck in the anchor rope and you can't pull for a break, in those circumstances your then potentially damaging the fish. Either way its not something I would ever want!
@@ScottishWildFishing fair play for replying, most would just throw a hissy over a friendly debate. Iv had it happen with two big fish, albeit nothing like the Giant you just had, but a 25 and a 28 that went around back anchors. In both cases we just pulled up the anchor and the 80lb braid held up no probs, both fish were landed unharmed and returned. No matter what you do if you are fishing for pike there is always SOME chance you could damage a fish, but light braid... Certainly anything under 60lbs gives pike no chance around an anchor rope, best case the hook will snag, the pike will break free. Otherwise the like will part and the pike is left dragging yards of braid. That's a dead pike. There is a better chance for the fish with heavier braid in my opinion mate. I honestly believe if you had 80lb braid there you would have a brace of very big fish there👍.
@@richarddunne9875 will always reply mate and not out to argue, will take advice whenever available! Always something to learn, I totally understand what your saying and I do agree. Like you mentioned earlier its happened and now we have rectified it and learned from it. I also think what you said, fishing for pike there is always something to go wrong. I didn't want to removed this from the video as it is what it is and if anything it can teach someone else what can happen, alot out there want to talk the big game like nothing has ever happened to them! Allways appreciate comments, thanks again 🎣
Well done m8, that Croc is a belter, 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍 had a few wee Jack's on the lake but nowhere near anything like that, my own pb is 21lb 2oz fae Loch awe, but once again well done m8.
well done mate your beat my record by 4 lb but mine was a river fish and the fish look so diffrent mine was a lot longer but thiner and a bigger head, not noing if male or female as dont no how to no and which normally r bigger
Thanks mate, yes a river fish and trout water fish are very different in the ways you have described, due to the different enviroment! Fish this size are females, would like to see her at spawning size!
Thanks Robert much appreciated! The net is a savage gear pro mesh net, the net in question is provided by the fisherie but its the same net I use myself! Would reccomend🎣
Never a situation an angler wants but also seen the downside with braid, have braid that wont break and allowing the fish to damage itself in a tangle. Granted braid has its place.
Gran lucio pero para mí no tiene tanto mérito pescado a pez vivo o muerto.. Ningún gran lucio se resiste a un pez vivo o muerto porque lo ven como algo natural y no recela
Cool, used rubber net, on a mat, in a sling and released in the net back in the water asap. If you've anymore advice and experience with 35+ fish, always willing to learn 🎣
Yes would certainly say its worth it, if anything for the magazine which has still been produced during lockdown and then hopefully we will return to the events soon!

Great catch buddy,all those cold days and nights all worth it when you hook into a massive female croc , great fish welfare too chaps🐊🐊🐊🐊👍💯
Thanks for the comment graeme, much appreciated!
Wow that's a propper lump we'll done sir
Can I ask what net you use? It seamed to cope very well with that big fish.
Thanks Robert much appreciated! The net is a savage gear pro mesh net, the net in question is provided by the fisherie but its the same net I use myself! Would reccomend🎣
Can I get a day ticket to fish for pike on this water and can I book a boat ?
Hi Paul, you can get a day ticket to fish for pike, fly only. Bait and lure days are organised through private club events.
80lb braid you will not lose them around anchor ropes.....
Never a situation an angler wants but also seen the downside with braid, have braid that wont break and allowing the fish to damage itself in a tangle. Granted braid has its place.
He lost that first fish because he's given it no drag
Gran lucio pero para mí no tiene tanto mérito pescado a pez vivo o muerto.. Ningún gran lucio se resiste a un pez vivo o muerto porque lo ven como algo natural y no recela
I've seen better fish handling
Cool, used rubber net, on a mat, in a sling and released in the net back in the water asap. If you've anymore advice and experience with 35+ fish, always willing to learn 🎣
Cant watch when all the "jesus christs" are getting flung about. Its off putting u taking the lords name in vain.
Well done!
well done lads lovley fish!
Thanks gerry, appreciate the comment! Certainly a day to remember! 🎣
@@ScottishWildFishing i was thinking of joining the PAAS but with how bad last year was hopefully join this year.
