Another awesome video, DB. I've seen you use them in your other videos, but in the last week I've now seen you and another UK RUclipsr using the LMAB Rodfather for topwater, so I had to have one. To be delivered from Predator Tackle this week. Looks like a killer rod handling those big top water pike. Can't wait to use it on top water bass over here. Cheers from the US!
I was using the Crazy Crawler today, no luck this afternoon, but I do have faith in it. If they are there and prepared to come up to the surface I don't think it can let you down. When fishing downstream I have had success using a Shakespeare Big S on the surface. I draw it back against the current holding the line off the water to stop it sinking and it has a lovely subtle bow wave across the water when brought back slowly. Sometimes it can be a killer and Chubb love it too. ATB MMMD
@@pikeguy1639 The course fishing close season, which runs 15th March-15th June. I’ve just read up on it, many canals may be open but you would need to check local bylaws. I just assumed it was all rivers and canals, but it’s definitely all rivers.
My eyes hurt from seeing what you're doing with that fishing rod! Why do you catch your rod in the middle when landing a pike in the landing net?! The pike will then run away and snatch the rod from your hand.

Superb stuff! I used to love the older Heddon plugs. Torpedo and zara spook were easily my favourite ones. Great topwater pike as well 👍👍👍.
Wow, two great fish off the top. The Crazy Crawler is a classic for a reason 👍
Wish I lived near a place like this💥anyone know any places for pike near or in Manchester ? 🎣Banging vid as always love to see some river top water
Salford quays is excellent.

sometimes when i miss a topwater strike ill throw a swimbait over the area and they will nail it
What rod and reel and what length rod

Nice. Just wondering how you fish rivers “out of season”?
what do you mean by out of season?

It's a canal not a river bro
@@stephenfirmin4771 ok, well I don't have any of what you said in my canal near me, you can fish whatever for free whenever.
Canals are open
was that a meter of pike
I've seen people dead baiting around there recently. Didn't fill me with confidence the way they were going about it.
Shouldn't be allowed to dead bait this time of year, the fish swallow the bait too quickly= dead pike!
drop the location if you dare.
Topwa'er
