@@benpurcell4935 And I'm saying there is not, I've caught tiny pike on big lures all it takes is for a pike to hit it and a hook to stick. I 100% stand by the original comment. There is no lure to big for pike, even juveniles.
I use larger baits for Muskie and large northern Pike in Ontario. While working as a guide in Northern Ontario, on a regular occasion had 45 + inch pike attack and hold onto 15 inch Walleyes I was reeling in. On several occasions I was able to also net the pike which had refused to release the walleye. One of my favourite baits for Muskie is a homemade 15 inch “strawberry” paint pattern glide bait. I’m not surprised to see that the larger pike are hitting the smaller ones and striking your glide bait.
@@NASPELTZ I agree there is nothing more exciting than catching Muskie or Pike on surface lures. I’ve seen Muskie actually take ducklings while they were swimming in a group. If you haven’t tried a surface fishing for pike go get yourself a prop style surface bait, something that makes a lot of surface noice, and try it. Your heart will really start to beat when you see a large “V” coming across the surface heading for your lure.
I have the same experiences. I too worked for an outfitter in northern Ontario and quite a few times while fishing for some eater walleye I have netted some big pike alongside them that just take a bite and refuse to let go all the way into the boat!
I was in the boat the day my Dad caught two fish with one livebait. He had a Koheru baitfish under a balloon, a Kahawai took it, about 300mm so not a big fish, but they are fighters He took in in towards a reef, to try to break off in the weed, and dad said "Damn, it got into the weed . . . hang on . . . oh, it must have just got caught in some, I am getting it in, but it is heavy . . ." Wound it up to the boat, asked excitedly for the net, and then landed a HUGE John Dory, far and away the biggest any of us had ever seen. Once in the bottom of the boat, it opened its mouth and out popped the Kahawai it had not been hooked at all, because the Kahawai had the hook right in its mouth. Dad was not prepared to kill such a huge old fish, the old fish are always the best stock, so he put it back.
Cracking video young man and some lovely fish … WELL DONE !!!! That lure certainly was loosing its patterns with almost every cast …… Love it when someone asks if you’ve caught anything and you say “ just little ones “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣…. That’s the way to do it 😎😎…. That weather change at the end is just what it’s like here in the UK ……. You enjoy and all the best 👍😁🎣
It has been a while since it flooded like this. This year was a good year for monster pikes and walleyes there when it flooded. I missed my 4" swimbait on a monster pike there on a kayak when i was there. Glad you recorded this flood!
Dear lord brother! That Pike was Massive! That’s awesome! Love the video!! Every time I take a trip to visit family I try to get some Pike on and have yet to get one!
Old video but is that an ABU rod?! Seems like it is written Venerate on it? How long and how heavy? Don't think se have had Venerate rods able to throw 12" baits here in Sweden so would be interesting to know
5:32 Pike are notorious for missing the target despite a lure being fairly large. This comes from someone who caught a limits worth of pike in Canada. Had the same situation happen to me twice back to back.
Yes that’s correct. Statewide starts may 14 here in Minnesota. But I’m fishing border waters, this area is flooded, but the water flooding it is the Mississippi river which is bordering Wisconsin here. So different regs
I don’t know how it is in the us but here in Sweden pikes will take lures the size of themselves all the time. I usually never use baits smaller than 9 inches for pike. Size just doesn’t matter for them, as long as it swims it’s food
Do you think I could catch something like that with spinners and spoons and whopper ploppers? I don’t have anything heavy enough for those lures and I don’t want to spend so much money on another combo.
Thx! I know I’ll catch tons of aggressive little hammer handles and not as many big ones, but I’ll have fun anyway. Also do you have any recommendations for moving baits for smallies?
Shoot me a message if your interested in musky fishing on lake Saint clair in Michigan, I fish it atleast 2 times a week , all i do is cast!! Make for an awesome video!!!
All these people trying to say you caught a snag when the video of you catching the pike is literally right at the top of the comments. Y’all really can’t take 2 seconds to check and see for yourself before you just mindlessly blurt out stupid shit? Guess not. Nice catch btw man!
Sorry brother but that bait is big but it’s not 12” or 1’ whatever you prefer! There is no way you’re hand is 10” bc that thing didn’t hang far past but good fish! The fish have bite marks and ich. What pound test did you use to throw that monster?
It’s 8 I think I said it somewhere in the video, didn’t mean to say 12 at the start I was using some 12 inch glide baits and switched to this smaller one
There is no such thing as "too big bait" when it comes to pike, it either work or not, i am not a pro or expert but the only thing i've noticed is that you can catch more on slow lures in winter. I caught my biggest one on a 3.5 inch silicone fish and the last one i got was a 4-4.5 inch pike on a 5.5 lure.. they are just different, sometimes they feed on the top, sometimes in the bottom, sometimes on metal lures, sometimes on wobbler sometimes on slider.m etc. When i got my pb i was fishing in a 30ft wide/long pool of water and i got it after about 40minutes of fishing the same spot with the same lure on the same angle of casting, i only caught it because i was getting bored and just let the lure sink in the 5ft deep water slowly and for some reason that gave the pike enough time to attack(i guess). Sorry for the long post, i am just waiting for the time to give my baby the last meal of the day
10:40 for the big pike
11:49 him showing it off
There is no such thing as too big lure for pikes
True
Unless their snakes.
@@benpurcell4935 Snakes(hammer handles) will still hit a lure their own size, they'll never swallow it but they'll hit it.
@@frogsnacks I understand that but it relates to the original comment in that there is a lure to big for a juvenile.

Big pike take small lures. Especially in the summer when all the new born fish are their main diet.

Try a hellhound. It’s my favourite glide for musky. When the colour wears off the lure gets more bites
Let me order one online real quick, give me a month I’ll have a video with it
@@NASPELTZ much better quality than a glide raider and better action.
Got it
HELLHOUND are the best in the Netherlands!

Ya it definitely happened a lot haha
😱 good catch my friend
Friggen nice video man!! Those were some impressive pike. Very well filmed and edited, great job bro!!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed
I was watching Yt shorts and ended up here. Loved the video i’m subbing
This means so much, glad you liked it
Near the end when you were talking about the weather I thought sounds like Minnesota 😂 (I live in Minnesota don’t hate)
I live in south east Minnesota, this was filmed in Winona
God I love pike. Great fights. Even better eats!
Nice sharing ❤❤❤
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed
not 100 percent sure but doesnt pike, bass and walleye season start may 14th here in MN?🤨
Yes that’s correct. Statewide starts may 14 here in Minnesota. But I’m fishing border waters, this area is flooded, but the water flooding it is the Mississippi river which is bordering Wisconsin here. So different regs
It actually starts the 13 I think thou
@@NASPELTZ oh okay thanks for the reply!
Of course
Nathan are you using the shimano curado 200k or 300k
200k!

Thanks man, glad you like it ❤️

Ayeee your the best
You made me a fan. Great job bro

Someone’s gotta catch em

@@NASPELTZ i dare you to catch a thresher shark
Bet
Cool video!
Thanks David
What reel do you use
You should try a rubber ducky lure floating on the lake.
Absolute beauties as always!
Thanks for watching
Do you keep any of the fish you catch, or do you return them to the water?
Always return
That is a great big Pike, by anyone's measures. They are just malevolent looking.
I'd call that critter a reel Beast in the Bushes!!😎🎣
Oh ya haha
I don’t know how it is in the us but here in Sweden pikes will take lures the size of themselves all the time. I usually never use baits smaller than 9 inches for pike. Size just doesn’t matter for them, as long as it swims it’s food
Pike, very tasty.
Have you heard of a shallow rig with swarzonker mcpike lures there awesome
I will try it
What is your weight of pole for pike/muskie
Hey bro... I was talking to u the other day... was wondering if u caught anything down there after I left
Ya I did pretty good, got a video coming out in 30 minutes with the fishing there!
🔥 vid
Thanks ❤️❤️❤️
Your welcome
Those big gurls like to make ONE rush and go limp. Like reeling in a car tire…😂
Yep haha
Nice! How are the water levels down there now? How much has it dropped?
The water levels are super low, it’s almost back to normal
Do you think I could catch something like that with spinners and spoons and whopper ploppers? I don’t have anything heavy enough for those lures and I don’t want to spend so much money on another combo.
Absolutely, big fish love big baits but they will also chase smaller stuff. Especially if the body of water has lots of smaller baitfish
Thx! I know I’ll catch tons of aggressive little hammer handles and not as many big ones, but I’ll have fun anyway. Also do you have any recommendations for moving baits for smallies?
Tank!!
Ayeee thanks, glad you like it
How big was it
40
Beast
Yesss. Thanks for watching
That is a gorgeous fish! Great job bud!
how long do you think this spot will be flooded?
Maybe a week
That was totally Awesome!! Monster Pike!! 👍 💪 🐟 🎣
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed
Congrats that is a monster of a pike.
Thanks so much
Can you please come to rabbit hash ky to fish I love your videos and I am a huge fan
Yes I would love to, do you target pike?
@@NASPELTZ you can but you don’t catch to many but you catch bass and catfish I have only caught a few pike this year
Okay
Good stuff bro 🎉
Thanks so much nicki
I just started pike fishing last summer. The largest one i caught was 30 inches i ate it was a pretty good tasteful fish i frying it up
Great video and fish my friend
Thanks John
This is awesome! Gonna have to try it this weekend!🎣

Thanks Benjamin, means a lot
Awesome video man!! I just uploaded a video myself and quite liked your videos! Keep up the good work!! 🤝🤝
Let me go watch yours
ワオー、ナイスフィシュですね。
How does he know 1 hook in mouth and 1 hook on the side? Thanks
Sometimes you can just feel that there is a hook on the side
Try using a live crappie on a treble hook and float that works great for me
Can’t here in Minnesota
@@NASPELTZ Im assuming because they say its unethical?
It’s illegal here in Minnesota.
@@NASPELTZ Why?
Cause you can’t use them
You okay bro I saw a lot of marks on your hands did it’s teeth make those or something?
I always get marks from big fish, I put my hand in its Gills all the way at the top to not hurt them and sometimes they shake snd I get cut
Nice fish
NICE

😂😂😂 you right, thanks my man
What a haus! Beautiful beast of a fish
Thanks so much. It was a blast
Where is this located??
Minnesota
@@NASPELTZ i know that but i meant like whats the name of the place your fishing at
Prairie island campground
Northern pike don't get enough respect. I fish for both pike and muskies and pike are just as cool as muskies are if you ask me.
10:38 for those that came from the yt shorts
❤️❤️❤️
Hey that was a nice fish its was fun to watch you land it, Thanks for taking time to talk to me. But you gained a subscriber.

Super big
Yes
What’s the rod n reel?

1:38 bro just revealed that he committed murder to a child
34 inches?
I have a river here in Vermont with them like that all the time call otter Creek
That’s awesome, have you caught a lot of monsters out there?
For the unfortunate souls coming from shorts the pike is caught around 3:11
Okay but how big was it
40
I’m here from the cliffhanger short
Holy fuck, just watched the video!😮
Ayeeee
Holy smokes
I don't know if that would be possible to get out of the water on a tail hook! (I probably would be but I would be hard)
It wouldn’t be, it was in the mouth, I just saw it wrong
What State?
Mn
Why does that look like a park that flooded 24 hours before this video lol
Hmmm
How does he know what throwing a small child feels like
The pike probably weren't fighting hard due to the time of year, weather conditions and by the look of it not well oxygenated water.
It feels like I’m throwing a small child out here. - last words before the mother came
Lol
It’s probably the color the color makes a huge difference they aren’t able to see certain colors well in certain conditions and can’t find the bait
People who are hating arent paying attention. This is basically an ad for the real video
Bro I know where that place is!!!!!! Me homie area!!!! Mississippi!
11:45 save you guys some time
Where in the mid west
