@The Ginger Fisherman live bait fishing is not allowed in the U.K. It is banned and illegal in Scotland. It is also illegal to transport live fish in Scotland. Just to keep the viewers that might want to come to Scotland in the know.

Every time I see you get excited over the vids, I just smile. Thanks for the content!

Hands down, best underwater footage of 2021! Great Job!

Absolutely fascinating. I could watch this all night. We've seen lions and crocodiles hunting a million times on telly but you hardly ever see footage local fish hunting.

Awesome footage Chris, the pike are so well camouflaged it looks like they come out from nowhere. Take care mate all the best from Downunder 👍

Love to see the behaviour of the pike underwater. How they grab and let go or grab and just hold on. Now I understand better the concept of waiting before the hook is set. Brilliant Chris great video

Absolutely fantastic footage Chris. Some of the best I’ve ever seen. Keep up the good work 👍🏻🎣

Fantastic footage, I can now see me sometimes setting the hook too quickly and why I have missed some pike with live bait. Thanks man keep ‘em coming

Awesome! Love seeing good underwater fish footage!!!

one of the best under water film ever made. thanks for sharing!

Man, I've always loved fishing for anything but pike will just always be my absolute favorite. Always aggressive, always hungry, and always fun!

Great footage Chris ...amazing to be honest! It's very easy to see why sometimes you strike and miss even the best deadbait runs (when you strike early) as they just hold the bait without turning & swallowing. Better that than deep-hooked still though.

Fantastic video! Love the underwater footage. Put together my 'best of' vid just today on fish jumping.

Ginger fisherman has the best fishing videos on you tube thanks from Michigan👍👍👍👍

this is some of the best underwater footage i have seen on anyones channel, great work!!

Great footage. Thanks for posting it!

Never fail to find these videos mind-blowing, seems like some pike dont care about feeling resistance on on the line as much as everyone thinks they do! Might be bolt rigs from now on ahah! Amazing video as always!

Absolutely fantastic video always Chris. Love this under water stuff. Really appreciate how much time and effort went into. Plus how much you seem to care about the fish you catch. Love fishing for pike and I've learnt alot from watching your your channel. Keep up the great work 👍

@the ginger fisherman love watching your videos keep it up :)

Hi Chris, Love watching your videos! I caught a little jack just like that out the Oxford canal with the very same damage, poor thing

Amazing footage! Really enjoyed that, cheers. 👍👍

This is awesome filming Again Chris. All the best for 2022!

I love seeing how the Pike hunts very much appreciate your work

The underwater video is outstanding. A job well done. And.... it's fun to watch.

Fantastic Chris, I'm gonna view that a few more times yet 😎

Awesome video! Getting under water shots is one of my favourite things! Those pike come out of nowhere!

I love these underwater videos, keep em conming 👍🏼

The under water footage is amazing. Your local knowledge of where the fish are so you can film them is amazing. Going to try to capture some similar footage of sea fish for my channel.

Beautiful awesome footage!!

Superb footage! Incredible strikes! Reminds me of my old dear the second I pull my old boy out - she's right on that chub like a pike hitting a lure

Absolutely love your content mate. Brilliant! Alle the best from Belgium

amazing footage, great to see a healthy river ecosystem

I have been waiting for this Chris and it didn't disappoint! ☺ Some fantastic footage there. Some absolutely killer Essox strikes. And I dig the music too, especially in the last part. That metal track fitted the Pike strikes perfectly!😈 \m/. Nice one mate.☺

Fantastic video enjoyed every minute of it keep them coming please 🎣🐊

A pikes camouflage is mad. Perfect hunters! Great video ginger beard dude! 👌

Brilliant footage 👍👏

Great footage man!

Epic, 100k by new year with vids like this 👍🏻

Very very good underwater filming of pike attacks on bait fish. Really shows how you need to give them time to turn the bait and not to strike early.

Great footage. My man

Great footage.Thanks.

Amazing footage a great video thank you .

Some great takes there love the footage we'll done

Awesome! I really like you underwater videos

Such crazy footage. In almost all instances, I couldn’t even see them coming in for the kill. Wow!

How on earth are you getting such good footage??? The water you fish is amazing ive never seen anything like it in such shallow swims!! Love it chris keep up the good work👌

Great footage mate 👍🏼

I can not imagine how many work it is to produce this amazing pictures

What size circle hooks do you use normally for dead baits?

wow, that's amazing footage mate

Great camera work!! Loved it

absolutely brilliant footage there Chris, and i see there's a lot of heated discussion's going on, but as you said you got the right permissions, so all is ok, thank you for that and please do more, 👍

What a great footages! Congrats for content and results 😎😎😎

excellent to see how the pike attacks the bait. incredible footage thanks..

Pike are wild. Crazy fishing from shore for them too. They come out of no where and hammer your lure out of nowhere

Always a great watch coz of great content respect to you sir

Thanks again for sharing you sure know how to catch the pike merry Christmas to you and you're family

Badass video! Loved it!

Excellent footage underwater Attenborough

This is awesome man

Excellent filming and catching, it shows the begginer not to strike when it runs and timing is the key when it turns the dead bait and mouth hook it. Cheers

Wow,that is awesome footage,they attack sooooooo quickly lol!!

Top video , good luck 😉💪🏽🐟

Excellent footage here. Very enjoyable to watch. Quick question if ya dont mind. Whay editing programme to you use. REGARDS jack

Great video! Thanks

We ❤ to pike fish up here and get some very big fish. Dead Bait caught local and rapala lures are quite effective for us. Tight lines 🎉🎉🎉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Some cracking footage there and some of those fish just appeared from no where amazing to watch them eyeing the bait up before striking as well. Spent a small fortune the other day to have a go at piking unfortunately blanked but will be back out again when the river is down a bit

Excellent 👍👍👍. Thanks for the share 🙏. 🇨🇵

Nice video brother❤️👍🎣

Dude awesome video 👌🏻

I Love the Speed at which Northern Pike BURST OUT on a bait

Great video again Chris!!! Love the way you filmed the pike attacks!

Good footage bro

some awesome footage there mate i think its time i got my rod out and dusted off the old reels and get misen down to the tackle shop and get out there again not been fishing since lockdown it just been pushed to back of my mind cos of all the otjer crap whats been going on but people like you chris inspire me to get back out there in the yorkshire countryside and fimd some big pike 👍🏻

Cool videos. But I always called that getting a bite. lol. I kid Bro. Great footage!

When I was a kid I used to walk to a local stately home around 4 miles away with a friend of mine. We'd go look at the animals, walk around the woods and the grounds, and explore the lake. Did it countless times. Once we were in the back of the woods edging onto the lake. You're technically not supposed to be there, and it's usually impossible to get to, but the lake was low that day and we found solid ground right up to the edge of the water. There was a huge tench, about 6-7lbs, with the biggest bite mark out of it's side, laying half in the water, half out. I thought it must have died and a fox might have taken a bite out of it. We threw it back into the water and carried on. A few hours later, as we were on our way back, my friend went for a leak in the trees and I stood near the waters edge on the wall looking at the water. Some huge black submarine slowly swam passed me, just inches away from the bank, and I could see clearly it was the most enourmous pike I've ever seen. Fish always look bigger in the water, but if I'd have reached down I could have touched it, and it slowly drifted past as I began to follow it, it must have been well over 30lbs and almost as long as I was tall. An absolute monster. It's a big lake, and I know pike fishing was banned there a decade later and the gameskeepers actively encouraged anyone who caught a pike to kill it and leave it on the side. The majority of them were eradicated. This beast I saw must have been old. For decades, holiday makers would use the lake for boating or kayaking, with some fishing but mainly for the smaller fish on casters or maggot. But my brother told me stories of people he knew pulling out large 15-20lb pike regularly, before the ban and the cull. Such a shame. The lake was built alongside the home, some 180 years ago, and I imagine generation after generation of pike leading up to that beast I saw. All brought to an end.

Nice video 👍👍Amazing shooting

Top, Great Videos. 💪

Is the underwater camera on a pole and operated by a second person ? If not how do you make sure you don't loose the camera ? Great insight into what does go on under the surface.

Nice work.tnks.

well done for the great camera work mate.

Great video my brother

What camera did you use? I might overlook it. 😊

Where are you getting your music? This is amazing.

Brilliant bud, 🎣👍

Great 👍 footage, I use circle hooks and It also goes to the scissors of the pikes mouth, With the leader method which you used is better in lakes I find but I suppose it depends on the individual Great video

The Ginger rocks!!!

What's under the layer of dirt on the bottom of the canal? Was there a bottom and sides when they built those cool canals - sure don't need to very deep - nice takes.

this is really great underwater recording...

Great videos of pike behavior. Thank you friend.

love your vids

How do you get good underwater footage ? Love watching your vids and tips 👍🎣

Awesome. Video!

Incredible footage. After seeing how the pike grabs the perch, I need to change my hook placement for my winter tip up fishing. I suspect my hook up ratio will rise.

You always leave us wanting more. You certainly know your stuff . Well done !

nice job, great sport fisherman

Great video.....well done.
