And what a beautiful transom it was! I can only dream of having a transom that nice. Can't stop thinking about it. It's a dream transom. Some day I'll save up enough and get one just like that. Some day....
I stock my aquarium and fish it everyday. I just put a worm on a hook and throw it out then wait. i hold all the records in my aquarium. Im a real fisherman
it wasnt a camera phone like today, it woulda been an old VHS recorder. Also when your buddy has the British record possibly on the end of the line, you doing the net takes priority over camera !!
my friend did much the same , they purchased a 45lb pike from Russia put it in his duck pond and caught it with a rod. my other mate ade Caught a 39lb pike from the river yare after 4 years of home work and said that was more full filling than catching the 45lb from the duck pond.
Exactly Tabitha! As a fellow fisherman, I could never see the achievement factor in pulling fish out of a swim or lake that's stocked/man-filled to capacity with starved fish. Especially the pond in this video! have you seen all those trout swimming in a starved frenzy? A child could stick it's baby net into the water with a piece of bread and catch one of those trout.
@@bryanprice2800 Yeah if you want a real one of those a great spot is Northern Saskatchewan, Canada. Lots of lakes up there that are basically unfished. Might have to fly to it in a bush plane but you'll never experience any better fresh water fishing. Worlds better than terrorising a small trout pond with some poor bugger you hook every few weeks like these guys.
@@michaelfitzgerald6341 - You’re right! Fishing in Northern Saskatchewan IS great. Try fly fishing for them with an 8 or 9 weight rod!!! Amazing!! You will definitely get some bruised knuckles but it will be worth it! Heh heh.
I'm an American. Don't listen to these obnoxious North American RUclips posters. Why are people so mean? It's an absolutely beautiful catch. You have every reason to be thrilled.
ootie extreme Typcially when the moniker "American" is used you are speaking of a citizen of the United States, whereas "North American" would also include the nation of Canada.
That's like trapping a trophy buck in a 50 acre field surrounded by 18ft fence and sitting in a tree pod in the corner and giving it a 50cal to the lungs when it stops to graze on some grass and then posting it on RUclips as some kind of lifetime achievement lol
But did you release the trophy buck though? And can you see where the monster pike actually is? Because that pike has a choice between all the other bait fish or that fish on your line so your point is invalid.
When I was a young man I was fishing behind a power house in a small village in Michigan. I was using a beetle spin and kept casting it back and forth. Then I got snagged or so I thought. I kept pulling and it was coming in it looked like I had caught a a pretty good size limb. When I got it close to shore it turned and snapped my line. It was the biggest pike I had ever seen. Must of been over 4 feet long . I will never fish there again without a steel leader.
very sporting of you to release a trophy Pike. your experience is validated and saved, though many would have it mounted. Bravo for the releasing it to fight another day.
i watched the video again, its a rather small pond theyre fishing in, most likely everyone gets a try at that same fish in a body of water that small. still its a great looking fish.
Zachary Madison no! Not in the Uk or europe, the pike is acually a very important fish in a lake or pond. Whitout the pike a hole ecosystem could be ruined!
This was beautiful to watch. Congratulations on such an amazing catch. It honestly fills me with joy because everyone wins: the fish goes back, and you get the catch of a lifetime. So wonderful!!!
I know right, at least make it a challenge by using some artificial tackle. No challenge at all throwing a trout on a hook in the middle of an overly stocked trout pond and waiting for the bobber to go down. Now getting that pike to take a streamer on fly would be respectable.
I was watching this and praying that you released this fish and you did. I commend you on that. That was a fantastic pike. I have fished pike for over 53 years and never had one even come close to that. I did have a few muskie that followed my bait that never hit that would have gave your pike a run for its money. Congratulations! Steve Bonds in Bay City, Michigan USA
This guy is associated with the largest child interaction ring in the UK they make snuff movies etc and have done for decades. I have a load of evidence on them but the police are protecting them as there is a lot of blackmail involved. Their group is by far the worst.
I once caught a 50 pound Muskie in the St. Lawrence River using the same guide as Bobby Orr uses. This was in Lancaster, Ont. twenty five years ago. The hook ruined the fish so I gave the head to an Indian family for soup and the body to a Jewish friend for gefeltafish. Happy New Year

That's like raising Whitetail deer in a fence end area andfeeding him nothing but high nutrient food and when he grows a monster antlers and then you kill him and say it's a world record Whitetail deer.
Years ago I was at my grand father's brothers house he lived very close the the portage lake lift bridge in Hancock Michigan, we were out on an old wooden dock probably 100 years old. Some of the boards were missing, I was looking down in the water between the missing boards, I saw a pike or musky that was well over 5 ft. My sister and I watched him for a few minutes before he swam off. It was a massive fish and was almost as big around and the telephone pole size logs holding the old dock up. My grandfathers brother said those are the ones that eat ducks out here.
Wow just seeing this out of the box ruclips.net/user/postUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.
I think this should not considered anywhere mere a record for two reasons first it's a privately owned lake or "pond" that is only seven acres and it sounds like there is only one northern pike in it. So they stock it with trout to feed the only northern pike and let it grow to that size. Even if it breaks the weight record for the country or world it should never be allowed in the record books.
Somehow I don't get excited about fish that are caught in an aquarium. By that I mean putting a predator like a pike into a stocked lake. The same thing goes for stocking trout in a bass lake. It is only my opinion, though and the only opinion that matters is your own
That is something that irritates me when someone crucifies someone when they just voice an opinion. If it isn't just totally idiotic or something offensive, let them have their say.
Someone had to have put the pike in there when it was small, since there are no inlets. They planned for the pike to remain captive in the enclosed pond and feast on the trout which had been stocked there. They then proceeded to monitor the pike as it grew. Definitions: 'Farm'-"land or water devoted to the raising of animals, fish, plants, etc." 'Farmed(v.tr.)'-"To *cultivate, breed, or raise (plants or animals)." 'Wild'-(of an animal): "Living in nature without human control or care : not tame." While this fish might technically be 'farmed,' it sure doesn't seem to take away from the guys joy of pulling in this monster- and isn't that what fishing is all about?
well, most freshwater fish can travel to new waters by hitching a ride on ducks feet and so.. as eggs avoiding to get pike or perch in a water system is harder then getting some in on purpose although, you are right that it has some exlent feeding grounds there
The Largest Pike caught in British Water was 46lb 13oz from Llandegfedd Resevoir In Pontypool South Wales back in the1992 and it is still the British record. By Roy Lewis.
@@stephenpounder4704 Iv taken a 24 lb monster from Loch Awe, biggest from Lomond is around 15lb. However the record would have been smashed with the pike that was in Lomond. Long time ago a pike was found dead on Loch Lomond (River Endrick mouth) the head of the pike is still kept in a museum in Glasgow. Scientists predict the pike weighed anything between 70-90lbs. google it guys
I'm from Ontario Canada. We love to fish pike but we drive for at least 5hrs north and the thrill is untouched lakes and looking for the fish not fishing in a backyard pond stocked with them
Mikoalex miko ...I came from Fort Frances Ontario and lived in Dryden Ont for awhile! I love fishing 🎣🇨🇦💋💕🐠👌🥰😍🌊🐟my son went to Red Lake Ont to fish and brought back pike fillets I gad to fold to fit them in my freezer! Great part of Canada 🇨🇦!
Hi I am from the UK. I mainly fish for pike perch and trout with lures. In large lakes. Glacial and reservoirs. And out in the salt. I agree with you. This ain't fishing. I mean where is the challenge? I know these guys personally as friends of my Father. He is a child interactor, snuff producer and a big fan of "child interaction". They only pursue that which is easy to catch. I have documented a huge case surrounding this group of perverts. The police however say "no evidence" on the record. Off the record they say I am correct but there are too many people under control by this group. They are total scum. They connect to the royals, and considering the global reports about them, you can see I have some real disgusting enemies. So they are crap at fishing because they are this type of person. Always the easy way. All about image. Dirty old men living in fear of getting found out.
Trout fishery doubles as a specimen pike farm. Can you really record this as a true record? Nice to catch them no doubt but the saying, “fish in a barrel” comes to mind.
Kids in care are also fish in a barrel. This lot are "child interactors". They make dirty movies. They have been doing it since the eighties. Shocking stuff. Tell the world please. They abused my sons and have used blackmail to get away with it.
Sorry but a private pond that you stock and supply the lone pike with food a plenty, will NEVER be considered a world record! Take a trip and try your luck catching one that size out of the St. Lawrence or anywhere in Canada and see if you can get a world record then! It is a nice fish but it can only be said that you have a well fed PET that takes no skill to catch repeatedly!
I’ve been raising one in my pond for 20 years . Feed him pellets daily and he’s no natural predators. I figure I’ll catch him again next year and the year after until he beats the state record. Then sInwill blubber after I consider the money I spent on him instead of real fishing trips.
Hell Ive went to trout ponds and caught records, but for everyday fishing you will be waiting another 50 years to catch a fish that breaks records ,this is cheating.
Tied to a dock while in a boat, and fishing WTF? This is like shooting a 16 pt buck on a game ranch and claiming your hunting prowess. I can’t believe I watched this.
It`s not fake and it is a beautiful fish but.. I don`t think Pike caught in a man made stocked lake should count as a record. Look at the amount of trout in the lake. Its like McDonalds for Pike. Not trying to take anything away from the catch though.
once i was out fishing all alone ..... and I caught a Pike 10X bigger then the one in this video ..... i took pictures, videos, newspaper, i was famous, showed all my friends .... I had it stuffed and mounted on my wall and I charged other people $10 each just to see it... $20 with a picture ...... and than??? I WOKE UP!!! it was all only a dream ..... it was Monday morning and I had to go to work! DANG!!!
Nice fish but that isn't fishing. That's like going deer hunting for deer that's in a 3 acer pen that eats grass everyday then you come on your big trophy deer hunt for a buck of a lifetime and you put a few buckets of apples at the bottom of your stand and all of a sudden wow !!!! The biggest buck you ever seen is right there eating your apples for a five yard shot. What a sportsman
Scott Hall yeah, but if you put a hook in the apple and reeled that buck in, took some photos holding him up, then let him go. It would be fairly impressive.
Just my opinion but Id rather catch a river 20lber on a lure than a reservoir/lake 40lber on a live/deadbait. Be better if the catch was actually on camera. Nice fish though.
Proper british gentleman right there. I would've been cursing and smashing shit. Lol. Amazing he held his cool and stayed patient enough to sit there longer and even go back the next day.
LOL, They killed him. Haven't you seen all the blood? And a pike would start fighting as soon as he feels the water and he was almost motionless. And how come we don't see him going away??? The truth is that he died. They didn't handle him properly and kept him out of the water for way too long.
Not necessarily true. We caught a 39 pound trout ice fishing last year, had it out of the water for a total of 35 seconds and it took a while for it to regain energy. A fish that big doesn’t necessarily just up and go as soon as they’re back in the water.
@@ryansheppard5048 Look, I'm Canadian and have been fishing pikes since my early days. I don't know everything about fishing because there's always something to learn. Now, you clearly stated *ice fishing*. Have you ever heard about "thermal shock"? You took a living creature from 4 degrees Celsius (40F), to minus ten (14F) if not way less. How would YOU feel if you were the pike? That pike in the video most certainly died (99%). As simple as that.
Im Canadian as well, and when you’re dealing with old, big fish they take a while to get their “legs” back. They’ll usually stay in one spot to regain themselves. A 30 pound fish, especially after a long, hard fight won’t just instantly jolt away when put back in the water. 5 pound, young pike? Sure.
If you want to see a extremely unfit man catching a extremely unfit non fighting fish this is for you. His next film involves a back garden and a koi carp.
You should see the films him and his police mates make. They will not be on youtube for sure. They have been at it since the eighties. Snuff movies and child abuse. I know because my father was involved in this ring. They abused my kids. Built a ring of blackmail. Disgusting weak people.
Congrats ! Thx to river monsters catching big fish has never been more fun to watch. I have jackfish at my cabin, turtle lake saskatchewan, and I'm never going back in the water. 😎👍
Awesome job.....I understand....others may not but that was a personal goal....the fish lived and you didn’t try to make it out to be more than it was....great seeing [people live out their dreams
The fish lives in a pond or lake and likely still does. The man was exited and rightfully so. To all that can't keep your negativity in control, go catch your own or whatever. Great fish.
A few years ago a guy in Alaska cought a monster salmon, fought it for a few hours. Got it in, handed the rod to his buddy so he could pick the fish up out of the water and was disqualified because of this.
Caught my first Grilse the other evening on a trout fly, it was 3lbs and fought hard for 5 minutes... given the choice record pike or the Grilse, hand's down the grilse. None the less well done on your big pike 👍
@Robert Curtis canada blows. I quit going after many yrs of hassles at the border, tickets for beer in the boat, rule after rule. they want your money, but treat you like a criminal
Arthur Morgan ...go to Rainy Lake in Ont , Canada...it’s 80 miles long and has thousands of islands on it...you’ll catch some real beauties...walleyes, bass...even trout!

@@joedavino9225 I agree to me it sounds like a bunch of jealousy. Hell I know there's 50+ inch muskie in lake st.clair, does that mean if I catch one I'm cheating because I knew it exists.
The biggest pike caught that I've ever seen was from the Kankakee river in 1968. It was big enough to swallow a child. Unofficial weight was 86 lbs. Caught by Roy Johnson during a neighborhood picnic at Aroma Park. It was frighteningly massive, caught between the damn and bridge. The same area everyone swam. Provided a boom of business for the local bait and tackle shop.
@@2inHeartattack We fish here not far from the Illinois State line south of US41 big northern,big walleye becoming more common .If you ever get a chance watch a documentary called Everglades of the North,history of the Kankakee.
The part where we got a chance to watch the shadows land the fish was pretty good 😂. Fish of a lifetime and a day that will possibly never be beaten in his angling life, well done sir

Remember when I was a kid my dad took me on holiday to Wales for the summer holidays and we visited some sort of castle with a fair, as we travelled around we hit some spots to look over the castle walls and look down into the sea it must of been some depth over 60ft and below in the water you could see multiple circles or what looked like pikes its something I've never forgotten because my dad held me over the wall so I could see better
@@jamsams Jay...cmon...are you still pissed our little ole country whipped the mighty BRITISH empire? Now u need to stay friends with us for protection? Damn...you sure get angry over a fish Jay...
Pretty much all my pikes have been hammer handles. Found a spot on a creek where the water had gone down so low that there was this one pool that was filled with pike, they couldn't get out. All hammer handles. Every time you cast you caught one and they were fun to catch. Caught about a dozen of them and yes thru them all back. The name of the creek was Pickerel Creek and it lived up to its name.
All you critics, in case you haven't heard what the man's said, he stared that he waited like 50 years to catch such big pike, world record or not, it's HIS RECORD!
The hate on this video is so weird. This is a damn good catch. I would’ve prioritized catching the fish over getting great video. I’d be so happy just to get some film of the giant. Big respect for that catch
lifetimes ambition..good for this guy always nice to see such a thing fulfilled. fishing is great and always a blast i hope to go again more this year and next year too looking forward to some trips.

Its winter time theyre pretty sedate then, especially when it's being hand fed trout to put weight on.
Handling older fish for long periods of time out of water increases the chance for mortality ten fold

+Justin Cokit or could it just be a bird as many birds carry fish eggs from other lakes under their wings
well, most freshwater fish can travel to new waters by hitching a ride on ducks feet and so.. as eggs
avoiding to get pike or perch in a water system is harder then getting some in on purpose
although, you are right that it has some exlent feeding grounds there
Hmmm, really was wondering about the transom, nice shot.
Superb! Dream come true. I hope I'm so lucky in my fishing escapades.
WILD REALY I'm off to Tesco to catch the tea
The Largest Pike caught in British Water was 46lb 13oz from Llandegfedd Resevoir In Pontypool South Wales back in the1992 and it is still the British record. By Roy Lewis.
Again a stocked trout water ! Windermere / lomond /Awe proper wild pike waters
@@stephenpounder4704 Iv taken a 24 lb monster from Loch Awe, biggest from Lomond is around 15lb. However the record would have been smashed with the pike that was in Lomond. Long time ago a pike was found dead on Loch Lomond (River Endrick mouth) the head of the pike is still kept in a museum in Glasgow. Scientists predict the pike weighed anything between 70-90lbs. google it guys
John gobles specimen on the thurne a stunning fish
I saw this, and lost the will to live......
I'm from Ontario Canada. We love to fish pike but we drive for at least 5hrs north and the thrill is untouched lakes and looking for the fish not fishing in a backyard pond stocked with them
Heyyyyy I'm from lisle. Near the base. On Conn. Rd 3. L0M1M0 there is a golf course called silver club. Fish their ponds. Ur welcome
Lemme guess. Algonquin national park? Portage a few lakes?
Exactly
Mikoalex miko ...I came from Fort Frances Ontario and lived in Dryden Ont for awhile! I love fishing 🎣🇨🇦💋💕🐠👌🥰😍🌊🐟my son went to Red Lake Ont to fish and brought back pike fillets I gad to fold to fit them in my freezer! Great part of Canada 🇨🇦!
Hi I am from the UK. I mainly fish for pike perch and trout with lures. In large lakes. Glacial and reservoirs. And out in the salt. I agree with you. This ain't fishing. I mean where is the challenge? I know these guys personally as friends of my Father. He is a child interactor, snuff producer and a big fan of "child interaction". They only pursue that which is easy to catch. I have documented a huge case surrounding this group of perverts. The police however say "no evidence" on the record. Off the record they say I am correct but there are too many people under control by this group. They are total scum. They connect to the royals, and considering the global reports about them, you can see I have some real disgusting enemies. So they are crap at fishing because they are this type of person. Always the easy way. All about image. Dirty old men living in fear of getting found out.
Great Video rich,many thanks Graeme Scotland!!
Holy Smokes! Nice Fish Terry!! Michigan Here Penlty of GOOD ONES in the lakes around here But That Bad Boy Is Worth A Shout Out. Good Job
Trout fishery doubles as a specimen pike farm. Can you really record this as a true record? Nice to catch them no doubt but the saying, “fish in a barrel” comes to mind.
Kids in care are also fish in a barrel. This lot are "child interactors". They make dirty movies. They have been doing it since the eighties. Shocking stuff. Tell the world please. They abused my sons and have used blackmail to get away with it.
A stocked private pond . Shouldnt qualify for a world record
Seems like shooting fish in a barrel.
Unfair no kind of a sportsman
I agree with all the comments
not a world record anyway. the NY State record is over 46 lbs.
No one said it was a world record you donkey...the record in the UK is 46lb 12oz.
Sorry but a private pond that you stock and supply the lone pike with food a plenty, will NEVER be considered a world record! Take a trip and try your luck catching one that size out of the St. Lawrence or anywhere in Canada and see if you can get a world record then! It is a nice fish but it can only be said that you have a well fed PET that takes no skill to catch repeatedly!
Exactly.
Good Man to release. Proud of you. A true sportsman.
Catching a pet fish that you know is there, out of a 7.5 acre private lake.... you're not a sport fisherman. This is just silly.
there are a lot of lakes out there smaller with huge carp in does anyone criticise them
Alex AlexAlex well you got to give him credit for fighting a giant northern pike it probably took lots of effort
@@johnnoboy1 I do, that's even a more ridiculous way of fishing. They know every fish by name and keep on catching the same fish over and over again
Jealous and butt hurt by any chance?
Hoggarth The Wise Smeagol I agree with the fella it’s embarrassing it’s basically staged and on top of that they film inside of boat
I’ve been raising one in my pond for 20 years . Feed him pellets daily and he’s no natural predators. I figure I’ll catch him again next year and the year after until he beats the state record. Then sInwill blubber after I consider the money I spent on him instead of real fishing trips.
Hell Ive went to trout ponds and caught records, but for everyday fishing you will be waiting another 50 years to catch a fish that breaks records ,this is cheating.
Had I known the circumstances I wouldn't of watched...
What for
@@frumentarii6542 the guy is basically fishing in a big aquarium and thinks it's a big accomplishment. It's not.
@@tbauer2521 so its like a private pond wtf man me too
@@tbauer2521 u wouldnt catch it u jealous prick
Well, maybe the man didn't think your circumstances were relevant to him catching the biggest fish of his life.
Do you eat soy food?
Tied to a dock while in a boat, and fishing WTF? This is like shooting a 16 pt buck on a game ranch and claiming your hunting prowess. I can’t believe I watched this.
I send out a huge thank you to all who send these beautiful fish back unharmed. Great job women and gentlemen!
Did you see the pike I caught on lure from my kayak. 46 lb. 8oz. (21,1 kg).
Also in film? And underwater strike.
happy to know this fish is still alive and well caught less than a month ago
It`s not fake and it is a beautiful fish but..
I don`t think Pike caught in a man made stocked lake should count as a record.
Look at the amount of trout in the lake. Its like McDonalds for Pike.
Not trying to take anything away from the catch though.
I love how much respect that british fisherman show the fish. He knew that if it was caught, it would still be healthy and eating.
once i was out fishing all alone ..... and I caught a Pike 10X bigger then the one in this video ..... i took pictures, videos, newspaper, i was famous, showed all my friends .... I had it stuffed and mounted on my wall and I charged other people $10 each just to see it... $20 with a picture ...... and than??? I WOKE UP!!! it was all only a dream ..... it was Monday morning and I had to go to work! DANG!!!
Nice fish but that isn't fishing. That's like going deer hunting for deer that's in a 3 acer pen that eats grass everyday then you come on your big trophy deer hunt for a buck of a lifetime and you put a few buckets of apples at the bottom of your stand and all of a sudden wow !!!! The biggest buck you ever seen is right there eating your apples for a five yard shot. What a sportsman
Scott Hall yeah, but if you put a hook in the apple and reeled that buck in, took some photos holding him up, then let him go. It would be fairly impressive.
Just my opinion but Id rather catch a river 20lber on a lure than a reservoir/lake 40lber on a live/deadbait. Be better if the catch was actually on camera.
Nice fish though.
Wonder if it was the same one that got away the day before.
@@billpower4885 7
Nicely done, no pompous talking 'Me, I or mine', very well done sir I salute you. You are a fisherman of note.
The Renumeratorguitar
He's a phony
Proper british gentleman right there. I would've been cursing and smashing shit. Lol. Amazing he held his cool and stayed patient enough to sit there longer and even go back the next day.
Wow! Not surprised your
Excited . Well done👏👍
Very, very few pike anglers in the UK would ever kill a fish of this calibre.
It is great to see it returned alive.
LOL, They killed him. Haven't you seen all the blood? And a pike would start fighting as soon as he feels the water and he was almost motionless. And how come we don't see him going away??? The truth is that he died. They didn't handle him properly and kept him out of the water for way too long.
Not necessarily true. We caught a 39 pound trout ice fishing last year, had it out of the water for a total of 35 seconds and it took a while for it to regain energy. A fish that big doesn’t necessarily just up and go as soon as they’re back in the water.
@@ryansheppard5048 Look, I'm Canadian and have been fishing pikes since my early days. I don't know everything about fishing because there's always something to learn. Now, you clearly stated *ice fishing*. Have you ever heard about "thermal shock"? You took a living creature from 4 degrees Celsius (40F), to minus ten (14F) if not way less. How would YOU feel if you were the pike?
That pike in the video most certainly died (99%). As simple as that.
Im Canadian as well, and when you’re dealing with old, big fish they take a while to get their “legs” back. They’ll usually stay in one spot to regain themselves.
A 30 pound fish, especially after a long, hard fight won’t just instantly jolt away when put back in the water. 5 pound, young pike? Sure.
@@ryansheppard5048 You just proved that you're what we call a "Sunday fisherman" and not a fishing guide... Thanks, and end of discussion.
If you want to see a extremely unfit man catching a extremely unfit non fighting fish this is for you. His next film involves a back garden and a koi carp.
You should see the films him and his police mates make. They will not be on youtube for sure. They have been at it since the eighties. Snuff movies and child abuse. I know because my father was involved in this ring. They abused my kids. Built a ring of blackmail. Disgusting weak people.
Small children in care are also fish in a barrel if you think about it.
Here in finland those big pikes are swimming around the beaches! ;)
Hehhe
Tådde mäita man i Närpes å me bambumäitspö som boån!
Congrats ! Thx to river monsters catching big fish has never been more fun to watch. I have jackfish at my cabin, turtle lake saskatchewan, and I'm never going back in the water. 😎👍
wow, that is big. I caught a monster in the thousand islands last year but it wasn't that fat. nice video, thanks.
Just an advert for the lakes!! not impressed!
imo an advert for not to go there.
Awesome job.....I understand....others may not but that was a personal goal....the fish lived and you didn’t try to make it out to be more than it was....great seeing [people live out their dreams
You talk about a fish of a lifetime, yet this fish was hooked three times in what, a week or two?
Not very impressive.
The fish lives in a pond or lake and likely still does. The man was exited and rightfully so. To all that can't keep your negativity in control, go catch your own or whatever. Great fish.
40 seconds to land a 43lb Pike, where's the sport in that ! what are you fishing with tow rope !!!
Sounds like 30lb fire wire.
Fish has been cought so many times it probably just rolled over on it side and said let's get this over with so I can go back to eating.
A few years ago a guy in Alaska cought a monster salmon, fought it for a few hours. Got it in, handed the rod to his buddy so he could pick the fish up out of the water and was disqualified because of this.
@ray jingcock maybe the next time if you don't use so much tooth action you won't be disqualified.
Caught my first Grilse the other evening on a trout fly, it was 3lbs and fought hard for 5 minutes...
given the choice record pike or the Grilse, hand's down the grilse.
None the less well done on your big pike 👍
Huge fish but I don't see the satisfaction in it from a pond when you know it's there. And I've had better fights from 10lb salmon
so don't go why slag on a man who obviously enjoyed himself is it too hard to say well done.. congrats
@Robert Curtis canada blows. I quit going after many yrs of hassles at the border, tickets for beer in the boat, rule after rule. they want your money, but treat you like a criminal
Arthur Morgan ...go to Rainy Lake in Ont , Canada...it’s 80 miles long and has thousands of islands on it...you’ll catch some real beauties...walleyes, bass...even trout! Great for swimming too...clean cold water 💦 with uninhabited beaches....my folks are from Fort Frances on Rainy Lake and I’m going to retire there....🇨🇦👌💕😍🐻🦊🐺🐠🐟🐾🐾🌊🥅🏒❤️
@@joedavino9225 I agree to me it sounds like a bunch of jealousy. Hell I know there's 50+ inch muskie in lake st.clair, does that mean if I catch one I'm cheating because I knew it exists.
The biggest pike caught that I've ever seen was from the Kankakee river in 1968. It was big enough to swallow a child. Unofficial weight was 86 lbs. Caught by Roy Johnson during a neighborhood picnic at Aroma Park.
It was frighteningly massive, caught between the damn and bridge. The same area everyone swam. Provided a boom of business for the local bait and tackle shop.
Lololol
Starting to see some big northern come out of the Kankakee here in Indiana again,so here's hoping.
Was that in Indiana? I've always heard of the legends. I fish & hunt that river myself
@@josephbryant6758 a buddy had one spin him around in a kayak just outside of Mill Creek on the Kankakee
@@2inHeartattack We fish here not far from the Illinois State line south of US41 big northern,big walleye becoming more common .If you ever get a chance watch a documentary called Everglades of the North,history of the Kankakee.
The part where we got a chance to watch the shadows land the fish was pretty good 😂. Fish of a lifetime and a day that will possibly never be beaten in his angling life, well done sir
Yup that's a beast, i live in northern sask and fish the northern pikes here and never seen one like that, nice catch
How ridiculous that they put the camera down when they were landing the fish. Very disappointed
I for one am happy for the guy. he's a nice guy and everybody is taking a piss. he's not asking for much and is super appreciative. so many wankers out there
Amazing looking fish! Enormous! I’m very happy for the old man! 👍🏼
This is literally the definition of shooting fish in a barrel
Remember when I was a kid my dad took me on holiday to Wales for the summer holidays and we visited some sort of castle with a fair, as we travelled around we hit some spots to look over the castle walls and look down into the sea it must of been some depth over 60ft and below in the water you could see multiple circles or what looked like pikes its something I've never forgotten because my dad held me over the wall so I could see better
We throw those back for being too small here in northern Minnesota...
Bullshit
We throw people from northern Minnesota back for being typical big-headed loudmouth yanks!
@@jamsams Huh? Why on earth would i ever venture to the UK, you pompous, tea-tipping twinky? Even your pike are corn fed.

On well maybe next timelol
Need to work on that paint!
Pretty much all my pikes have been hammer handles. Found a spot on a creek where the water had gone down so low that there was this one pool that was filled with pike, they couldn't get out. All hammer handles. Every time you cast you caught one and they were fun to catch. Caught about a dozen of them and yes thru them all back. The name of the creek was Pickerel Creek and it lived up to its name.
truly brilliant! Lottsa fun!! thanks for sharing your exploits!
All the hate for these fisherman. Sad. Congratulations on your fish! What a beast!
All you critics, in case you haven't heard what the man's said, he stared that he waited like 50 years to catch such big pike, world record or not, it's HIS RECORD!
got em out of that trout pond
No idea why so many people down voted this but thats an incredible pike!
The hate on this video is so weird. This is a damn good catch. I would’ve prioritized catching the fish over getting great video. I’d be so happy just to get some film of the giant. Big respect for that catch
lifetimes ambition..good for this guy always nice to see such a thing fulfilled. fishing is great and always a blast i hope to go again more this year and next year too looking forward to some trips.
Dude, it's a STOCKED POND. It's practically hand-fed. Congrats for catching a tame fish.
Anabolic steroids))
well did it swim back off?
- Sadly the old girl has died now hasn’t she. Stunning fish despite all of the negative comments. 👍🏻🎣
Well done mate she's a monster👍😷👍🏴
I have been waiting 50 years to catch this in a private pond....wtf.
