Same here pal. Been out nearly every day since I lost my job .

Brilliant mate. As ever! But I think I'm on the wrong side of the Pennines. It's just better over your way, never mind downsouth. But I'm sure you stick in many hours to get this footage and fair play to you

Thanks for sharing, amazing story!

That's is amazing! Ha!

I call B.S. !

The Man it’s not cruel at all, pike hunt and eat live fish. At least with live fish the pike gets something out of it. For example a meal. They don’t get that from your lures. Also lure fishing takes no more skill than live baiting or dead baiting.

The Man none of my points were debunked. I have had just as much success live baiting as I have lure fishing. They are both relatively easy and i found takes little skill. With pike fishing it’s all about locating the pike. Catching pike is easy. Live baiting is offering the pike its meal in the most natural way for the pike. It is not cruel. Its in their nature to hunt live fish. Theirs nothing immoral about presenting one on a hook for a pike. I’ve nothing against lure fishing I actually enjoy it. I strongly disagree with your claim about a method being cruel. If you don’t agree with it that’s fair enough but you have no right to copy and paste your bullshit comment to everyone who actually enjoyed the content this man provides.

The Man well I disagree and you don’t really have any right to attack people for enjoying this content. Live baiting will always be a thing whether you like it or not. And i reaffirm lure fishing isn’t any more skillfull than live baiting for pike. Weather conditions impact any method of fishing, some days the pike just won’t be interested and it doesn’t matter if you dangle a big fat live roach in its face or try to imitate an injured fish with a lure. If they don’t want it they won’t take it

Me also, better as in the Netherlands...

In which county is that river guys ?

@@TheMan-it7px I mean if you really want to get down to it. Catching fish with hooks for sport is cruel. But this type of footage you can learn from. You can watch how the bait fish is moving and how the pike reacts to it. This I can take with me as I utilize the swimbait. Especially when we get down to the winter months when the bite is slow and the Pike acts more like a stalker rather than predator.

@@TheMan-it7px You are looking at it morally to human beings and not the fish who is also a being. Morality just doesn't extend to human beings. Though we do and place it as a living. When in all actuality we could as shepherds do much more. To include not shackle ourselves with things such as money and sorts. We also probably wouldn't have to worry about fisheries if we didn't create the very problems that we are trying to rectify. The wildlife doesn't need our help. What it needs is us to stop polluting the waters. Stop keeping everything. Stop dragging the oceans with miles and miles of net. The earth has been doing this wildlife business for millions and millions of years before us. It will do it millions upon millions of years after us as long as that yellow star we call a sun shines and stays at the the correct distance. It can withstand catastrophic events and still bring back life. But enough about morality because you are just looking at it as inclusive to human beings and I'm looking at as all beings. Because we are not separate. Clearly you could see that the fish that he caught did not swallow his bait. I myself do not use live bait and prefer not to, but I will utilize what he has shared as a learning tool for how I fish.
