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.
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!!!
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.
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.

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

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.
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.
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.

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!

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!
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

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.
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.
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 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.
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
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 👍
What kind of a PFD are you wearing? Is it the type that expands with a CO2 charge? It looks MUCH more comfortable when fishing then the bulky foam type.
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.
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
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.
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. 😎👍
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.
Someone once said; "If you don't have anything nice to say, then say nothing at all". That quote should have been heard by more people. I've had the same "problem" with some of my videos, a lot of people commenting in a negative way and many of todays RUclips-watchers don't understand that a lot of "older footage" was filmed with no intention of ever putting it on youtube, so the quality is not close to todays standards.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
The only rainbow trout I ever caught was in the mouth of a garter snake that I caught. I set the little fella free to be caught another day. That was about 60 yrs ago at the beginning of the Mississippi.

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
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.
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.
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.
i wanna ask about the way to fish for northern pike. ive seen people not let them take any line but heard you have to let them take quite a bit of it and then start reeling. which is correct?
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 caught a 39 inch Northern Pike 12lbs 14ozs it took only 20 minutes to get it in. The fishing net was in the vehicle and we used a bunge tie down to get in the boat.
I was in a small northern town talking to the sports teacher out of the film Kez (gentleman), and a man came up to me telling me that he'd caught a 56 pounder out of the largest lake in Yorkshire. I told him that the current record is 46lb. He didn't know hat and wasn't bullshitting either.
As for me I'm finished with here. So I'm going to Russia and I'll be hunting down a world record. I mean. Come on lads. Britain leads the way in angling and I'm sure my angling skills will come out on top A perch in the Thames took my roach and we estimated it at about 12lb at least. I'd seen nothing like it: Deep olive and British racing green, all mottled like! It wasn't hooked and let go after 30 secs or so! Then there was a chub I saw at the mouth of The Colne (London). My friend (who worked in a tackle shop), said it was a grass carp. 5 ft long. I estimated 11lb. These two fish have been on my mind ever since! Then there was a carp that we (me and Stroudy/ the dude who works on armoured army vehicles with his bomb shields), saw at Wraysbury II. That too was 5tf long and had never been caught! We've had roach out of the Thames beating the Thames record. I'm had to give up fishing because I'm not allowed ro admit The Envy-euro-ment Agency. Except if I have time expect to hear about River Clyde record cod catches or conger eels pretty soon! Tails up!
I fish this venue all the time it's my local water the pike was returned and came out this year equaling the british record of 46lb it was not kept in a cage it was caught legit but they were useing 2-3lb trout livebaits right near the trout hatching net were the fish had been previously caught. There has been another fish spotted an even bigger one that is still yet to be caught and there is no spinning allowed on the lake.Hope that answered a few questions if anyone wants to know anything ab
Not so fast. I've caught lots of pike here in Wisconsin and I can tell you, a fight of that limited duration would have left that fish way too green to net so easily. It would have been thrashing around not so evidently exhausted. My apologies to the angler if this was legitimate, but my 50+ years of experience leaves me very suspicious.
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
I remember Terry fondly from his time owning Burton Mere trout and carp fishery on the Wirral. He sold it and it’s now a nature reserve. I wonder what he’s up to now.
Don't worry, you can catch your pet pike again next week. What's his name?

These guys really know how to handle a fish, clearly. Surprised they didn't hire a photographer for a photoshoot.
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.
In Glock We Trust here in the netherlands everyone does
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.
In Glock We Trust he should've mounted it. Pikes are an invasive species that cause a lot of damage to the natural habitat in the pond or lake
Not invasive in the UK.
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!
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'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.
Did you see the pike I caught on lure from my kayak. 46 lb. 8oz. (21,1 kg).
Also in film? And underwater strike.
why did they not film playing and landing the fish? Just, hey presto, here's a comatose fish.

Its winter time theyre pretty sedate then, especially when it's being hand fed trout to put weight on.
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.
Hmmm, really was wondering about the transom, nice shot.
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
Totally agree
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.

WILD REALY I'm off to Tesco to catch the tea
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 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.
2011
Good catch never mind all the negative remarks there just jealous key board warriors
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?
+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
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 👍
Dude, it's a STOCKED POND. It's practically hand-fed. Congrats for catching a tame fish.
Anabolic steroids))
What kind of a PFD are you wearing?
Is it the type that expands with a CO2 charge?
It looks MUCH more comfortable when fishing then the bulky foam type.
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.
Judge Executioner don't forget controlled genetics
Exactly!!!
Judge Executioner LOL!!! No shit!! " A once in a lifetime catch" yeah right!!! This could be a once a day catch! These bloke are pathetic!
Gob shites prob take turns catching it the fish has more cop on
Yeah but u use your eyes to spot the deer. With fishing u have to use your brains n out think the fish. Your status couldn't be any further off
I saw this, and lost the will to live......
that's fishing in a big fish tank
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
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.
I send out a huge thank you to all who send these beautiful fish back unharmed. Great job women and gentlemen!
You talk about a fish of a lifetime, yet this fish was hooked three times in what, a week or two?
Not very impressive.
I have been waiting 50 years to catch this in a private pond....wtf.
Just an advert for the lakes!! not impressed!
imo an advert for not to go there.
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.
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. 😎👍
Here in finland those big pikes are swimming around the beaches! ;)
Hehhe
Tådde mäita man i Närpes å me bambumäitspö som boån!
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
well did it swim back off?
Someone once said; "If you don't have anything nice to say, then say nothing at all". That quote should have been heard by more people. I've had the same "problem" with some of my videos, a lot of people commenting in a negative way and many of todays RUclips-watchers don't understand that a lot of "older footage" was filmed with no intention of ever putting it on youtube, so the quality is not close to todays standards.
1. Why would they not have a camera mount?
2. Why such light tackle?
3. Do any waters that produce fish like that freeze over for ice fishing?
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
How ridiculous that they put the camera down when they were landing the fish. Very disappointed
What was the weight kilos and lbs?
I remember snagging a 15" stocked rainbow trout in a shallow crick with a treble hook. You must feel the same...
The only rainbow trout I ever caught was in the mouth of a garter snake that I caught. I set the little fella free to be caught another day. That was about 60 yrs ago at the beginning of the Mississippi.
How does anyone know you actually caught it on a Rod and Reel? The video for sure is NOT PROOF?
We throw those back for being too small here in northern Minnesota...
Bullshit

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
Superb! Dream come true. I hope I'm so lucky in my fishing escapades.
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.
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.
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.
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
i wanna ask about the way to fish for northern pike. ive seen people not let them take any line but heard you have to let them take quite a bit of it and then start reeling. which is correct?
Amazing looking fish! Enormous! I’m very happy for the old man! 👍🏼
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.
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
I caught a 39 inch Northern Pike 12lbs 14ozs it took only 20 minutes to get it in. The fishing net was in the vehicle and we used a bunge tie down to get in the boat.
I was in a small northern town talking to the sports teacher out of the film Kez (gentleman), and a man came up to me telling me that he'd caught a 56 pounder out of the largest lake in Yorkshire. I told him that the current record is 46lb. He didn't know hat and wasn't bullshitting either.
As for me I'm finished with here. So I'm going to Russia and I'll be hunting down a world record. I mean. Come on lads. Britain leads the way in angling and I'm sure my angling skills will come out on top
A perch in the Thames took my roach and we estimated it at about 12lb at least. I'd seen nothing like it: Deep olive and British racing green, all mottled like! It wasn't hooked and let go after 30 secs or so!
Then there was a chub I saw at the mouth of The Colne (London). My friend (who worked in a tackle shop), said it was a grass carp. 5 ft long. I estimated 11lb. These two fish have been on my mind ever since!
Then there was a carp that we (me and Stroudy/ the dude who works on armoured army vehicles with his bomb shields), saw at Wraysbury II. That too was 5tf long and had never been caught!
We've had roach out of the Thames beating the Thames record.
I'm had to give up fishing because I'm not allowed ro admit The Envy-euro-ment Agency.
Except if I have time expect to hear about River Clyde record cod catches or conger eels pretty soon!
Tails up!
nice footage of boat lads

I fish this venue all the time it's my local water the pike was returned and came out this year equaling the british record of 46lb it was not kept in a cage it was caught legit but they were useing 2-3lb trout livebaits right near the trout hatching net were the fish had been previously caught. There has been another fish spotted an even bigger one that is still yet to be caught and there is no spinning allowed on the lake.Hope that answered a few questions if anyone wants to know anything ab
No spinning?

Not so fast. I've caught lots of pike here in Wisconsin and I can tell you, a fight of that limited duration would have left that fish way too green to net so easily. It would have been thrashing around not so evidently exhausted. My apologies to the angler if this was legitimate, but my 50+ years of experience leaves me very suspicious.
got em out of that trout pond
All the hate for these fisherman. Sad. Congratulations on your fish! What a beast!
Excelent size i almost feel for it though its always being (specialized) caught.
Hi
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
I remember Terry fondly from his time owning Burton Mere trout and carp fishery on the Wirral. He sold it and it’s now a nature reserve. I wonder what he’s up to now.
