They're pain in the a** to clean. But, pickle them or grill them up, they're actually pretty good. They're native here in Wisconsin and we catch a lot of pike. You need a leader on your line with a heavier test pound line. Braided is best. They'll tear right through mono.
I have only ever caught one Pike in my life as a kid. The fight it put up was completely different from the perch I was used to. I was so proud of catching ti, but of course I messed up cooking it and it turned out horrible.
a fish can be non-native and not be invasive. Plenty of non-native species have spread around the world and don't simply takeover and outcompete everything else.
The northern pike is indigenous to north America, they're often confused with musky (I can't really tell the difference). I don't think they're actually an invasive species unless they're not supposed to be in Maine.
@@austingardiner6880 Northern Pike is stripy the Musky has a more spotty pattern. here in Europe, male pikes are spotty female ones are way bigger and stripy.
@@tinovanderzwan-km7ou interesting, are the indigenous to Europe as well? I grew up catching pike and walleye/pickerel in the Canadian north so it's strange to hear them referred to as invasive.
@@cohenmelcher4310well they are fun to catch and good to eat if you prepare them right. Always a positive with invasive fish when you can turn them into a good meal.
Awesome drone shots! Nice music choices and editing. Solid production value. I love the quick and dirty videos as well, but wanted to let you know the extra work is noticed. Keep up the good work!
Some people just fish for fun. They catch and release. Some catch fish to eat. Me personally, I prefer other fish than pike. That's why I release them.
@@LanceD1881 the thing is, if they are invasive in maine it is illegal to release them. in general it is illegal to release an invasive species if you catch one
@@LanceD1881 you release a pike into water that it isnt native to and it will decimate the adolescents of almost any species, by releasing them and not killing them you are destroying your own lake
Awesome to see someone else from Massachusetts doing good on the tube i could show you some awesome spots around mass. I just am afraid of putting myself on youtube cause fishing spots get ruined quickly.
They are invasive in main where they are fishing they are also invasive in Washington and Oregon and also Kentucky and west Virginia also some places in south American Africa
I spent my first 30 years in North Western Ontario, I grew up fishing. We just call them Pike, they're very boney, so you really need to know how to clean them. Also, they only taste good when the water is cold. Otherwise, they're as fishy as cat food, and if the water is warm, they're full of worms. The best way to eat them is to grind them up and make fish cakes. Go get yourself some Pickerel/Walleye, the best freshwater fish ever. I'm vegetarian now for about 30 years and still some of my favourite memories were fishing - not ice fishing though, it's too f'n cold!
@@shericambly6408 Yellow Perch is another excellent eating fish. If walleye was to be commercialized like Perch is, I would say the two are even in popularity,
Pike make for some of the best fishing ever. I know people don’t particularly like them as they are voracious predators and can easily take over an entire ecosystem, but I love them.
Northern pike are invasive? you can find them in most lakes in north America. I've never heard of them listed as evasive before. did someone stock them in that rare lake that doesn't have them?
I used to live up north used to go ice fishing all the time went to Round Valley Reservoir in the 90s first time it froze over in 25 years caught some beautiful lake trout and rainbows rainbows rainbows
they are honestly holding them like ****ts. The way he is holding the last pike is criminal. He is twisting his hand and mushing up its gills, its hard to watch. You can hold pike by gills vertically but pushing it horizontally and destryoing its gills is just ****
This is my favorite video you have made so far. Fishing with the boys, joking around, and having a good time! Yet again proving your the best fishing channel out there. Good luck this year!
Keep up the great content tackle2thepeople, I enjoy all the different content of fishing you put out there for us. It sucks I missed you at the New England saltwater show in Rhode Island. But I was able to meet your friend Albert and Cam which was really cool. Hopefully I can try to meet you somewhere down the line maybe on the canal or something like that. Because I’m a big fan of saltwater fishing. And I enjoy all the different content you put out for us from salt to freshwater. I think that’s pretty cool.
I’m in Utah, and there’s only a couple lakes in the whole state where you can catch Pike, and I’ve yet to fish either of them or ever catch a pike. They always felt like an exotic fish to me. It’s so funny to see these comments from people in northern states that catch pike so regularly that it’s completely mundane
Northern Pike are invasive in Maine and other parts of the US people. I’m not 100 percent sure why it is so common to release them? It may be that due to pike being such a sought after fish for fishing (like black bass and black crappie), that there are no rules saying you must keep them as of now.
Looks like you guys had a blast! In all my 37 years, and endless tip-ups, I've never been fortunate enough to pull a pike, let alone musky, through the ice. Only bass, walleye, crappie, perch, and other panfish. Must be a heck of an experience! Glad for ya guys! Stay well, all!
This is bizarre, but you went to my local Walmart. Were you guys fishing on North Pond or Norway Lake (Pennesseewassee Lake is the official name)? I saw a red pop-up tent just like yours on Norway Lake. Not many shacks went out this winter so it was exciting to see some even if they're temporary. For future reference the state of Maine really encourages fisherman to kill any pike they catch. I know people in the Belgrade region might disagree (people like to catch them for sport in that lake chain and thats where there were illegally introduced) but they're awful for the ecosystem. My grandfather was a marine biologist, but he loved fishing inland and was good friends with people who stocked local waterways. Even then (late 1990's), northern pike was a problem and there were talks about how to manage the population.
Subscribe if Gary made the video
I am cam’s cousin say ford said ho
Dude this was an amazingly fun and enjoyable video to watch! Props to everyone for coming together to make this happen!😁
Dude your video quality has gotten extremely better this vid was awesome
Since when are northern Pike invasive ? They are native to North American lakes ext ......
He did
If these fish are invasive, why are you releasing them? I thought the point is to eliminate invasive species by way of eating them.
Bro......... Pike is a sport fish
Because pike are not eating fish eggs or anything else and their not destroying the nature
But he did say that they were envasive so technically he’s lying

I mean they could be naturalized

Pickled pike 😮 I’ve never even thought of eating any pickled fish lol. What’s it like?
I’ve caught a few and never used a leader
I have only ever caught one Pike in my life as a kid. The fight it put up was completely different from the perch I was used to. I was so proud of catching ti, but of course I messed up cooking it and it turned out horrible.
Theyre so hard to cook after cooking something like trout or perch, I fucked up mine too haha
@@mercury2c its not like ur missing out haha congrats on the fish tho
Her : he’s probably cheating on me
The boys : FLAGGGGG
All jokes lol
😂
@@Man9o-h8mlol
9:37 That was a great joke; thanks for captioning it so we'd be sure to catch it! 😂
Surely, if you're anywhere in the northern hemisphere, then technically, the northern Pike is not invasive

I like Cam’s thinking. Voodoo Ranger makes a breakfast complete.
Kudos to you guys for catch invasive fish. Never really knew Pike were invasive in Maine until now.
wait until you hear what their doing to the native salmon populations in Alaska, then you'll be really happy to see them get caught.

It comes down to personal preference. Some people like to eat them and some don't. I hope this helps.

To add onto the points made, dealing with dead fish can be difficult, and putting them back is bad idea when the lake is frozen
5:32 Albert reminding us why he’s the real fishing king 👑 🎣
He's releasing invasive fish into the wild again???!???
@@NinjofNatureit is a sport fish it don’t harm the environment

just having some fun and fishing with the fellas, love it!
Love chasin flags around the ice. some nice pike there!
thanks David! We had a blast

always the best fishing videos here :)
Cam reminds me of that one kid who brought kid cuisines for lunch
LOL
Invasive?? Why are you releasing them!! In Wisconsin people spend their entire life fishing for Northern Pike!! Muskie too!!!😊
They are invasive in main where they are fishing they are also invasive in Washington and Oregon and also Kentucky and west Virginia also some places in south American Africa
I was wondering the same thing, Muskie and Pike are sport fish in Ohio as well, but if they're invasive why release them?

Yep there native too almost all lake in North America
Never went ice fishing before but this video made me want to go so badly
It's often much tougher than they make it look, at least in my experience, and my area of the country. 😆 Tight lines, fellow angler. 🎣
it's super fun. totally different vibe than open water fishing.
I used to live up north used to go ice fishing all the time went to Round Valley Reservoir in the 90s first time it froze over in 25 years caught some beautiful lake trout and rainbows rainbows rainbows
That one big pike looks like it lost some gills

Sweet concept! Looks like it was a fun day
Sure was! 🤙
do another tuna one
More long videos please!! The editing/storytelling is so nice
Awesome video man! Love to see the long forms.
13:30 if this fish is invasive why did you release it? i am pretty sure pike is a very good to eat too, sorry to be that guy
Thats what i asked myself, if invasive and you dont plan on eating it. As least dont return it or feed it to the wild.
Awesome video!
That's so awesome... Do you know if Nolan will be selling these lures?
0:44 Cam getting fired up
Fishing with the bros is the way to go!! On ice is next level 👌🏽
Glad i found the channel, from a new sub 👍🏽

Why make them so far away from the tent? or setup the tent nearby lol
Cam is the type of guy to buy a bag of Cheetos for lunch and call it a day
those bait fish are so cute they look like lil snuggle bugs
are they northern pike?
bro i love the video you got yo self a sub
In sweden pike and perch is almost theonly species of fish that we have
Isn’t it illegal to release northern pike?????
They are probably in a different place and pike is a sport fish
That’s a lot of flages
Northern Pile are native to Maine. Maybe not that specific like but typically they are to most bodies of water.
When you get to the tip up set the hocks don’t wait 30 seconds to set the tip up
Cam singing the courtesy of the red white and blue was my favorite part😂 RIP Toby Keith!
How come they were let go if they're invasive?
A calab with @mav would be dope!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Well damn. Illusive? I used to eat northern all the time. Good days.
My grandparents have a hot tub, and as soon as they got in I literally started smelling their hot tub
Cam is funny need more
If they’re invasive, aren’t you supposed to dispatch them? That’s how it is for Washington state at least.
As a Mainer who ice fishes I feel bad that I don’t know what lake this is by sight…
Engel coolers made in Jupiter beach Florida all the way in snow
That sandwhich at 7:43 is 100% going to burn
Ótimo vídeo mesmo sem eu entender a língua de vocês rs amei o video o geito da pescaria de vocês é top que Deus abençoe super like 🥰🙏👍🤝
Hey I heard you say your buddy was fishing up in Belgrade and I was wondering what pond he was on because I’m always but there
Also my dad loved the voodoo ranger 😂
This makes me so happy :(
What lake is this in Maine
Why did you release that pike if it is invasive in Maine.
Wait, 13:33 why are you releasing it? Isn't it an invasice species?
Yes it’s a bunch of bull shit
There are no shipping options to Canada for the hoodie 😢

I can’t believe you live in Maine to!
If you’re in Alaska, that’s a state record bass and also that’s very rare to catch an Alaska and you could go to jail if u release it
What state is this in?
Those fish here are like super big and non invaasive
Sick video
wait if the pike are invasive why do you release them back?

Why wouldn't you guys set the shack up over one of your holes and jig it with a rod?
I used these before at my lake house and I have like four and one day it was non stop action
Looks like you guys had a blast! In all my 37 years, and endless tip-ups, I've never been fortunate enough to pull a pike, let alone musky, through the ice. Only bass, walleye, crappie, perch, and other panfish. Must be a heck of an experience! Glad for ya guys! Stay well, all!

That fish is wild at 13:48
I feel like there should be an alarm or at least he’ll attached to the flag

Where is this ?
In Finland these are super normal and popular fish but not as popular than salmon or rainbow trout
