We’re back out on the river! This time after BIG PIKE. Armed with the biggest lure in my tackle box we were doing a “go big or go home” pike session. The river is only small, but after having a big pike chase in a smaller one I caught a couple weeks ago I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to target some bigger fish!

Not netting the fish when it has hooks dangling outside its mouth, that is why I think you're a true angler! How many times you hear: 'oh, great, it came unhooked in the net'. Nope, it just tore its mouth to shreds. You have my respect!
Which date was this filmed?
Wenn ich auch nicht alles verstehe sind deine Videos Klasse 👍
6:50 I've seen perch attacking the perch I had on my hook more than once. Maybe it's like a territorial thing… As always, great video!
3:15 wonderfull fish 😀 awesome condition congratz im jealous
Would love to see you fish some big reservoirs where the bigger pike are lurking 30lb++
Mate when are you going to catch a salmon! Please do it 🤙
I’ve seen a 45cm pike choking on a 40cm sander here in the Netherlands …..tail was still sticking outside his mouth
Chris, once again a very good video, please can you do a video using Herring Dead Bates?
I regularly use 25cm+ baits and rarely catch big fish 😅 I'm forever catching Jack's on them 😂
awsome video Chris🎣 needed cheerin up after how miserable itis where i am an weather crap😅 an not catchin fish meself🎣
G'day chris, awes session with a beauty of a pike. All the best from down under mare. 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Top work pal 👍
Hey up Chris great vid as usual. I always wondered when you brush through nettles and get stung do fish feel the same when layed down on them.?
That perch wasn't messing around! Beautiful dark colours on those pike. I love fishing with bigger lures
Thanx . The only thing that would have made it more fun would have been if you fell in. Martin London UK
You are just a very talented angler big love ginger fisherman ❤
Wouldn't Wana lose a couple of those lures a trip ,not cheap at all
Great vid. Check out the latest ice fishing video by Clayton Schick. Enormously pike ! Cheers from the U.S.
I'd say the perch hit it for territorial reasons more than to eat it
Fantastic opposite bank inclined drone video
Brilliant ❤
Was using a slightly smaller lure and was catching jacks barely a pound weight 😂
Love your care for the pike a lot of pike anglers could do well to learn from your videos . Great videos 👍
I like pike, they taste nice.
What net are you using ?? Or do you use 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I've had a good month if I catch just one jack 🤣🤣
Very educational
What reel are you using?
Cheers Chris, you are a star.
I’m literally impressed how many pikes attacked you bait. And I have no idea what that perch want to do with bait 😂 great session ❤
Excellent fish well-being as always, keep them coming lad! Respect!🎣 🖕✌🏼
Brilliant as always . Catching that perch cool lol
👍🏴😁✌️
I regularly use 25cm lures now for pike. I find I get more takes from bigger fish than ever before (when using 16cm lures or smaller ones). It makes sense, I suppose lol.
Hi Chris, watched quiet a few videos of yours myself and it’s clear your passionate about fishing and the welfare of them as well, what are your thoughts on the stinger set up in this video using swivels instead of trace wire, I personally fish a similar set up to you but would use several inches of trace wire as the stinger instead of linked swivels, in my opinion this set up of choice protects the teeth of the pike, as the pike thrashes and shakes it’s head the swivels can destroy the pikes teeth, with the heavy fishing pressure some of these fish already endure with more people than ever lure fishing for them us more experienced anglers could be more mindful of some of the setups we are using and make them as fish friendly as possible, I first come across this linked swivel stinger on some Scandinavian fishing video several years back and It seems to have influenced a lot of uk lure anglers to adopt the same approach without thought for the pike main hunting weapon its teeth, in Scandinavia the waters are so vast the fish may never get caught again, however over here in the uk we are sharing small waters and repeat capturing a lot of the same fish so protecting them has to be of upmost importance. I hope this finds you well and if you agree Chris could you possibly use your platform to spread awareness save a few of these beautiful fish from what I see as unnecessary up evil.
Love your videos mate 🎣
Look forward to seeing your wild pets grow 🐟
Not such a good day for a new first time out set up!!?? Come on Chris, come back to earth buddy. To christen a new set up, first time out with a double figured fish (and from such a small river too) would delight most anglers. Nice rod but £300 though.
Cheers for the video buddy 👍🏴
what kind of landing net do you have?
@6:35 Nice large mouth bass 😮
Where's the handsome Scottish guy that was guiding you?
I noticed you had the camera on your line, did the footage not turn out as expected?. Want to purchase myself but only if it's worth it?
What size braid? And what's the black box on the line?
Ginger a couple of tips in your lessons for Snagged Bros. 1) Get them to dress like the background and not like Hawaiian rent boys. 2) Get them to get bikes. Probably best not electric. 3) Give them some tips on tackle and locations to fish. Obviously not your own favourites.
i learn so much from this guy, i love him!
Great video Chris!
I fish mostly fishing with 23cm and max 28cm softbaits.
The bigger baits gets more attack from smaller pike than smaller baits but…i catch more bigger pike on a 23cm softbaits and jerkbait 15cm.
Chris could catch with rubber hooks on
Could it be territorial or think there was bait fish about !
Early 1920s I lived in an old Yorkshire hamlet where large families lived in one up one down houses. Many were very poor, the family who lived next door to me. had a large family. The family boys were out Rabbiting or Fishing, any fish they caught they brought home for the table. I used to see huge Pike the older boys had caught, there was huge Pike caught in our local canal, it was a record mounted Pike that weighed 50 Lbs.on show in our Towns Gun Shop. It was said that the older boys had caught Pike that were bigger, and I saw some quite huge.ones the lads living next door had caught.
Very thick and healthy ginger beard. "Men Only" beard fertilizer I assume?
It's crazy what perch take sometimes. I had my pb perch this year of 2lb 5oz on a miruas mouse type lure. Fantastic video again.
As always, I love your enthusiasm
Quick questions x 2
What is that landing net ? it looks great !
Also – there was a black cylinder further up the line in some shots, but not in others – what is it ?
Thanks again fella
