  • I've caught more big pike fishing swimbaits than any other lure! On this trip I'm in the kayak chasing northern pike on what might be one of the last open water adventures of the year before winter weather moves in and the lakes start freezing over. The water was cold and the fishing was tough but hard work paid off with a few big bites!

  • @bradrtorgersen_videos
    @bradrtorgersen_videos 2 роки тому +4

    As others have said: NDYak's videos are a *very* welcome break from the tone and tenor of a lot of other fishing channels. I myself go fishing partly for the fish, yes, and the thrill of catching. But the other part is the quiet, and being out in the natural world. Here in Utah we have soaring mountains surrounding most of our reservoirs, lakes, and rivers. When I was on deployment to the Middle East, it taught me to appreciate the natural beauty of our American scenery. Fishing is therefore a sort of nature-induced depressurization, and NDyak's got the right vibe and voice for it. Quiet. Smooth. In tune with the water.
    Keep up the good work!

    So jealous. As a man that loves fishing, but has no time anymore to do it, these videos feel me with both joy and sadness, but at least the few times I am able to go I am now teaching my kids how to fish and they are enjoying it (when they bite, the waiting around doing nothing part not so much!) but fingers crossed we can all keep passing down this great activity through the generations.

I've fished my entire life, but that just hardly ever ends well for me. No problem with moving baits. I'm enjoying this video.

      Thanks! I always get nervous about trying to measure them against my paddle ruler, it’s tough to get an accurate measurement and half the time those angry pike flop off my lap and into the water before I can get them lined up straight. There’s not much room for error in a kayak. If I get one I think might be 40”+ I’d probably have to try.

    The tameness of those big pike amaze me. I enjoy targeting their smaller American relative, the chain pickerel, here in CT. Chain pickerel hardly ever stay still when I land them, requiring caution about any hooks. They can also get shake as I hold them tight be the head and gills.

      They seem to be a little more tame when the water is cold. I’ve had plenty of big pike thrash out of my hands though, the biggest one I caught this year flopped overboard as I was pulling it out of my net and was about to hold it up for the camera in front of me. It poked me pretty good with one of its teeth on its way out of my hands too.
