Thanks for the tip!

Thanks 👍

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Pike fishing is the best!

Thanks

Yes it was!

Thanks

@@PikeHunterJim yeah. What’s your pb?

My pb is a 22 lbs musky I caught a couple of years ago.

Cool, thanks

Yes, that was a lot of fun! Yeah it is in Canada, specifically Eastern Ontario.

Hello 👋

This summer I've had a lot of success with the Big Blade 3/4 oz Z-Man fire craw chatter bait, so I've been using it a lot lately. In general I like spinner baits and live target perch baits. However, when nothing is biting, then my go to lure is the 5 of diamonds spoon. In this short I am using a simple white spinner bait.

@@PikeHunterJim thank you

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks!

Thanks Albert!

Thanks for the tip.

My pike is pretty big for the area where I fish. Wow, a 40 inch pike is pretty nice! Where did you catch it?

Thanks Albert! I saw Cabela had the FireTiger. I am looking for the orange/black one, I've had good luck with that one in the past, but maybe I'll give the FireTiger a try. Yeah, that cat fish was a lot of fun.

I think the biggest pike I've caught has been 8 lbs. I do not know the length. In the river tributaries where I fish I do not see too many really large pike. However, the biggest fish I've caught in the area has a been a 22 lbs muskie, but fish that size are a pretty rare catch.

@@PikeHunterJim ah k bro

It is a Daiwa Revros combo (RVRLT40-4BI/G862M). I like this fishing rod. It is affordable and works great.

@@PikeHunterJim nice bro I’ll maybe buy one

Thanks for your comment. I tend to think it might be a silver pike, but it might also be a chain pickerel. I did not look at the submandibular pores on this fish, I think that would have helped to identify the type. According to this website, www.koaw.org/northernpike, counting the submandibular pores are a good way to identify the different species. Next time I will count them. Pike typically have five, musky have six or more and chain pickerel typically only have four. That might be a good way to tell the difference.

Thanks

@@PikeHunterJim yur welcome

@@PikeHunterJim I have a question how much pike have you catch in your life?

@@Yahyaoutdoors12 A lot, I'm pretty old and have been fishing for pike since I've been a kid. I think I must have caught hundreds of pike over the years. I love catching pike. However, my PB fish is a 22 lbs musky that I caught a couple of years ago. I really like catching musky too, but they do not bite very often.

@@PikeHunterJim oh nice 👍

Good advice. In my case I had a 12" metal leader. However, this happened a couple of times, so, I did need a new fishing rod. The one I was using was getting old and I suspect the eyes were starting to chip and causing small grooves that were weakening the braid line. Since the time I originally recorded this video I have a new fishing rod and no more line breaks.

@@PikeHunterJim ok nice 👍

thanks

Eastern Ontario in Canada. Along the Ottawa river.

Yes, there are a few wild turkeys in that area.

As a turkey hunter I thought I was the only one who picked up on that... Sweet

Yes, good advice. If the drag was looser than the line, would not have broken.

He needs a rod that’s actually meant to real in a fish 😂

@@PikeHunterJimyeah I’ve never lost a Muskie or pike on a leader. Something else is the issue

Yes, the 5 of diamonds is awesome. The pike really go for it.

You got that right!

It is a good reel. I like it!

I've never fished in Minnesota before. Is the fishing good there?

Thanks!

Yep, the Five of Diamonds lure is a pike favorite.

Thanks for the tip

I had a new fishing rod and the drag was very loose, I had to tighten it or I'd never reel that fish in. Typically I like the drag set loose enough where a big fish will not break the line, but also tight enough that I can land the fish quickly. I usually do catch and release, so landing the fish quickly helps reduce lactic acid buildup, which makes it easier to revive and release them.

I was using a 1 + 1/4 ounce (35.4 gram) five of diamond spoon. That spoon usually works great for pike, which is why I like to use it. This is the first time I ever caught a cat fish on a five of diamonds.

Thanks!
