Nailing Canal Pike on Circle Hooks

- Back on the canal targeting pike. Its been a while since i last used circle hooks, so i was a bit rusty to start with, but quickly managed to bring it back and bank some lovely pike. Shame one took a nice bite out my finger. Slimy guys.

I would like to make three comments.
1. A couple of weeks ago there were a lot of comments saying you should get an unhooking mat for your carp fishing. As you are fishing canals with hard towpaths etc you need an unhooking mat for pike as well.
2. In 45 + years of pike fishing I have never had a run/take whilst it has been raining. Before rain - yes, as soon as the rain stops yes - but never during rain.
3. I found out a couple of hours ago that my best pike fishing buddy died unexpectedly this afternoon. He was only 65 years old and a really great bloke. Last season he finally achieved his lifetime goal of a 30lb Fen drain pike. We had quite a lot of stuff planned for the 21/22 season, I guess having lost my wingman I'll do it solo. F**k i'm gutted.
Life is short and the grave is deep, live every day like it's your last - because one day it will be. Carpe diem.
Dang, sorry for your loss
Two videos in a week, happy days. Keep them coming man, love the content.
Really appreciate you pushing the circle hook thing mate, new people coming to predator fishing, I think you and dudes like you help future pike stocks 👍
Going to start trying the circle hooks what size do you recommend using? I’ll stop using trebles as I feel they ruin fish
I just returned from a session with a rubber lure and a circle hook. Sorry to say, had 7 takes, lost them all, and only the last one was on longer than 3 seconds.
it works but the break on the reel is a liitle to loose!!!
Making me want to put the carp gear down and pickup my pike rods already
You fish this corner a lot I’ve noticed chris
Would like to see how you tie on the circle hook onto your trace
cool video...🤘🏻🤘🏻💪🏻💪🏻good Technique...
Greets from Switzerland
I got a big chunk bitten out my thumb the other day 😂 was bleeding for hours
Pike bites are so bad cause they have a Enzym on their teeth that Stops ur Blood from thicken up
Nice vid mate!!!!!! What size hook do you use?? TNX. Greetings from The Netherlands!!! 👊🏿👊🏼
I'm an anatomical student and couldn't help but notice the wear on your shoes is lopsided, only kidding mate, for some reason I'm always nervous of you gettin bitten or your rod going in, 1 outa 2 notably justified 😉
Sensei Ginger, the skin head is the way. This is the best look for you. I'm hitting the Norfolk broads next week 🙏
Aaah the sweet mediative sound of water falling!!...not if you are caught out in it in this part of the world I suppose. Myself I am still experimenting with circle hooks....I am tending to hook through lip and also find that the shape of hook can give good hold without a barb...
Really useful vid bud, circle books are the way to go 100% How long did ya leave to strike after the first 3/4 fish missed, in those like sight later on dude? Best. M.E.
Hi mate, I know it’s an old one, but with circles, you just reel down into the fish and not strike?
nice video as always mate. been enjoying alot of pike fishing myself lately. :)
got a question for you, real quick, wich go-pro do you use?
and in case its hero 9, have u ever used it underwater, without any casing?
says its supposed to be able to go to ten meters, but not sure if i trust it :D
i dont wanna ruin it :D
J'adore votre façon de pêcher ! En vous copiant j'ai fait de beaux poissons ! Vous venez d'où ??
All I use is a single treble hook on mi baits and even on my lures if there small I will take off one of the trebles hooks normally the bk hook (top vid) 👍👍
Great session Chris I've never used circle hooks before or even dead baited, I'm a lure man , but slowly you are convincing me to give it a try , Thanks 🤜🤛🎣
A cracking days fishing that buddy. Them circle hooks work great don’t they.... no messy trebles and easy to unhook. Great video buddy and all the best to ya 👍🏽😀🎣
What weight rod is this mate?
Great vid yet again ,,good luck with your sponsorship mucka 👍
Love days like this. Never had a take in rain like that though, usually more alert straight after rain though.
Throwing the fish back in the net like that though made me cringe, bit harsh.
Great videos, keep hoping I’ll find you someday whilst we’re both out fishing
Need to get yourself to a lake instead of the jacks big man
Good to see Tyson fury getting into the fishing 🤣 jokes mate love your videos btw
Reeling a bit too quick to set the hook. Reel down slowly until you feel the weight, then just lean into it.
I use them as well under a float from gamakatsu. All pike hooked in the corner of the mouth 👌
Hey bud have you ever had a big Pike hit a smaller pike that hit a lure?? Lol
Great Job man nice pike, what Did you say the hooks are?
Loving the content mate I miss fishing for pike think I will give it a try in the winter again
Nice pikes, nice to watch your videos
Great video as always Chris , bloody English weather 🤣🤣🤣. You should get your sponsor to rig you up with some wet weather gear . Love the pike it , doesn't matter how big they are . Chris keep your cap on, you don't want to get sun burnt on your Dome 👍. All the best from Downunder 👍
Thanks buddy. The weather has done this every day for the past week. Sun then rain sun then rain 😅 . And I think the dome needs a tan
Few nice pikes mate, thanks for uploading 👍
You seem to have an almost unbelievable amount of luck or amazing waters packed with pike. While most people go can out session after session and blank, you always seem to catch for the camera.
He just doesn’t post up his blanks.
I like your hairstyle! Nice FISH!
nice work mate.i loive this camera works
I can never manage to hook up on circle hooks
Chris, are you sure they're dead baits? Cos if so, you've performed a miracle at 10:39! :o
All the pike caught in the video were on deads but I did have a couple backup lives haha. I caught another 3 fish using lives, but didnt include them in the video 😂
Still can’t get over the bald head
Well done mate keep up the work 👍 👏
When hot wings video?
Veri Nice🐟🐟🐟🐟
Do you do any carp fishing ?
Gotta love them toothy critters.
why not try hair rigging them?
LAMB rod 4.14grams !!!!
Great video again Chris!
New hair cut? omg lol
Nice session Chris, I’m falling out with circle hooks at the moment. On the Zander front and loosing way too many. Might have to add that treble
Yea just whack a single trebel in the baits back. I find circles can work well with pike especially if you can see what the fish is doing with the bait. They're crap for perch though 😅
@@The_ginger_fisherman 😂 cheers 👍
@@The_ginger_fisherman a few lads on canals up scotland use big single Salmon hooks for deadbaits on the float, instead of the trebles.
Awesome video
that pike got ya tho ;)
Hello, how come you do canal fishing, season is closed in canals and rivers if I not wrong?
Only rivers are closed, canals open all year unless a specific fishery that owns a part of it says otherwise, however that would still only affect their allocated area
Canal is still water which isn’t closed, drains, streams and rivers are closed.
Exelent session bro 👌💪🙌
Has anyone told you that you look like Tyson fury?
Yes repeatedly 😂
Nice session, mate! Cheers!
Lovely video mate
Nice trim
Great work 👍
Nice work.
First les go
What brand/make of circle hooks do you use? Thanks
These ones are from Berkley 2/0
@@The_ginger_fisherman thanks mate!
👏👏👏👏👍🇫🇷👋
The hook-up rate on circle hooks is terrible
Well at least your not deep hooking with massive trebles 🤷♂️
Not if you know what you're doing
Are you sure that your initials are not JC? They must be because you brought your dead bait back to life at 10:39! Bloody clever that!!!!!!!!!!!!
Use to like watching theys videos but after the carp video and the poor handling of the fish don’t think I’ll bother anymore get a mat pall
