Pike fishing loch Lomond (New PB 20LB 2OZ)

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

Many years ago, I was fishing a small lake near me and a pike bit me off... I was really pissed off over it, knowing a fish was swimming around with my trace in its mouth... that night at home, I kept thinkin about it and so I decided to go back down in the morning and see if by some miracle I might hook it again,
... the following day, 3 hours in, I caught her and she was seriously mad at me ! ... I unhooked both traces , weighed her and set her free... 16lbs as far as I can remember, a fine fish !... I was elated at being able to save her from a slow death...though she didn't show much gratitude, trashing about as I got the hooks out, thankfully as I always use barbless, it was easy enough..
Sometimes miracles DO happen... ☺️ 🤗
Happy Xmas and tight lines to all !!
😎👍☘️🍺

That's brilliant you caught the pike the next day 😁👍 well done cracking fish 😁👍, there is a pike in loch awe I have caught 8 times over the last 5 years, I know it's the same fish because it has a golf ball size lump under its right side of its head... First time I caught the pike it was under 2lb and last time I caught the pike it was 14lb 12oz... It's brilliant to see a fish go back and catch it again and see it grow up healthy 😁👍, that's why I always do catch and release 😁, thanks for your comments and continued support it's very much appreciated, tight lines 😁👍🎣🎣🎣🎣

No way bud. I know this video is 2yrs+ old now but just came across it.
Anyway, I just set my pb the end of February this year with guess what.,.....
a 20lb 2oz Pike from Kilbirnie loch.

It seems the longer we wait to break our PB the more cherished it is.... great to see our lad get into twenty territory... next stop THIRTY !! 😈😂

That's unusual, it's thought that they get spooked after being caught but that greedy pike was a tough bugger and wanted more 😄
Well done on that monster PB.
Enjoyable video 👍

Thanks for the support, very much appreciated, tight lines 😁👍🎣🎣🎣

[@GreeNSHeLL641]

What method was you using? Lead on the bottom with a floating dead bait?
Congratulations on your PB! 🇬🇧❤

[@Hookedonfishingscotland]

Yeah exactly that, and thanks much appreciated 😁👍🎣🎣🎣

[@GreeNSHeLL641]

Keep up the good work! I am heading to Lomond for a go myself in April. :)

Finally back slaying mate like to see it congrats on your pb never used barbless hooks myself but can obviously see why big fish

[@Hookedonfishingscotland]

Thanks mate much appreciated 😁👍🎣🎣🎣, I use barbless because it makes it much easier to unhook the fish, just need to keep the line tight and it won't come off mate 😁👍🎣🎣🎣
