I Used a REAL PIKE as BAIT and Something Amazing Happened! (BIG FISH)

In this session we look at the time i used a PIKE as bait. The fishing has been hard recently with the freezing temperatures causing all the still waters to freeze over! I decided it was the perfect time to take a look at some footage I got back in October when I used a pike as dead bait. This was just before the floods, so I never had the chance to finish the video off properly, but this isn't the only action i still managed to catch something from the frozen canal before the end of the video too!

I'm 44, my granddad took me fishing the second I could walk and I'm still fishing. I fished with nets, lines, lures, baits, sea, salt, crabbing, everything that came to my possibilities. Catching crab in a net is called fishing. Cathing a wild pike in a handnet, is damn good fishing . Catching a big ass pike with a pike on a pike needs to be a story for the next decades in a pub close to where it happened ❣ In the local dialect we call it in french : doublé

If you hadn't filmed this, no one would have believed you. Another typical "Ginger Fisherman" action of course. I've seen you do the strangest things. Tench and bream on a lure, for example. Very special.... Keep goin' on and take care. Greetz from Holland 🇱🇺👊🏻

In the good old days, when I lived in Scotland, I used to fish a wee loch by a rail line. It was full of nice perch and even rumoured to have carp and roach in it. I used to use an earth worm on the surface to catch jack pike and then use them to live bait for bigger pike. They were very effective. Much better than live perch I sometimes used. I would take some perch and even a pike home to eat. They were very tasty!

Whats also amazing is that you got it all on camera! Many years ago in the 70s, as a teenager, i used to fish for carp using worms, once i caught a small pike on worm and as i was playing it, a bigger pike bit into the smaller pike and wouldn't let go. I netted them both. The same year, and you will like this Chris, i caught, on worm, a 4lb 12oz perch for which i won the club trophy, which i still have today.

Amazing video as always chris, i myself might be one of a rare few that uses only barbless trebles lure fishing, ive had a few big fish throw the hooks and elude me but more bad hookups even on barbless that ive had to cut the hookpoints out to remove. Before i get any flack its a personal preference and im not hating on barbed hooks, each to their own. Ive recently been using palatrax gripz trebles and they have so far proved way more effective than standard barbless, worth a try for one of your videos maybe …
