How cool, I didn't know you fished freshwater also, I live in Michigan, in the states and only fish for pike, bass and trout because I have no salt water near home. I just started watching your station last week, but I have not been able to stop because you are very dedicated and very informative. I also like the fact that you are a great father and husband as well. Keep up the great shows my new friend

Brings back great memories. Havn't caught a pike in yrs. My best ones (up to 22lbs on dead bait) came from the river Welland and the Counter drain near Spalding Lincolnshire. But that was 35yrs ago. Don't know what it's like now. Good health and stay safe.

wonderful video, nothing more satisfying than catching your target species! I have never seen or heard of a Golden Rudd ... hopefully get to catch one soon! keep up the good work!

Great vid as usual John, it's about time one of the tv / satellite channels signed you up. Fingers crossed mate. Phil Manchester.

Another amazing video, takes me back to last October had a mini break in a Lodge on the Thames by Benson, private fishing, £3.50 day ticket had 4 field widths to fish, had some nice perch, a few dace and gudgeon on first day, second day after having a full English at the riverside cafe, pulled out just over 3.5lb Perch is was a monster, you cant beat worms for perch, the guy on the next swim was swim feeding didn't catch a thing, the biggest perch i have ever caught, was shaking so much could hardly keep my phone still, and to add insult to injury i had to borrow his scales as left mine back at the lodge, have never caught a Pike as of yet.

Fountain of knowledge this man

Excellent video again mate. Nice looking fish as well, my only pike was on the river lee when it grabbed a roach i caught haha.

Great video. Thanks a lot!

Nice, Great video !

Was thinking about getting on the silvers again I’m definitely gona keep a few tiddlers for this at the end man 👍

Great video mate really enjoyed it my first Pike what about 6 lbs I've got it on a live Roche I was only fishing for small Roche and Breen just scratching around lately how I got the pike I don't know but managed to land it can't believe it what a crazy day it was I don't do a lot of fishing but that was a good session

Now we understand jejeje. THANK YPU👍

Thanks :)👍👍👍

All I really fish for is Pike, gunna start doing proper videos, done a few daft ones including my pb 20.5lb, didn't realise you were from whitby. I'm from Redcar, 26 miles from it 👍

Can't believe I used to use size twenty crystal barbless 😮

must be something in the water that makes all the fish so pale?

Two Jacks in the same place. :-)

One of my friends does pike fishing on Loch lomond him and his 2 friends are setting up a website at the moment as well there own business of taking people out fishing on the Loch . They are also on instagram , fishing_scotland .

buen video compañero. Aqui en España si te pillan pescando con pez vivo o muerto,te meten una multa y te quitan el material👍👍👍. Y en tu pais esta permitido?

Are those Northern Pike or Musky?! I think you caught a bunch of muskies there my friend! Northern pike have lines that move horizontal along the body of the fish, muskies have vertical lines of spots along the body of the fish. I recently found out by staring at some pictures from this ice season, a fish I thought was a pike was my first musky! Either way congrats! Those are some nice fish!

Anymore livebaiting for pike or perch vids?

Are Rudd and Roach the same species?

Do you use barbed hooks for the live bait?

yeah buddy.. catch bait, put on wire leader, keep it alive and cast it out.. fighting the float gets the attention of the predators, then poor mr bait gets whammed.. lol.. KISS principle.. lol

Here in spain it is forbidden to fish with live and dead fish. And in your country?👍👍
