@@luredbyesox Cheers Sean. All the best
@@alexallanangling you too mate 🤝😊
Lovely fish mate 👌 that place looks brilliant.
Thankyou george its a beautiful part of the world stunning scenery and awesome fish too!! Highly recommended 👍🙂
Cracking fish! - like some here, I looked at her and thought she was over 20lb - in my opinion, at least 22lb!
Great stuff!
Thanks mate 👍 she was short but very stocky solid fish i was miles out with my guesstimate 😄 normally im pretty close but she was so big in the body i thought its got to be a twenty 🤔 im not complaining though she was a stunner 👍🙂
Judging by other videos it's not an easy water so very well done.
Looked extremely fat a lovely pike.
Not jealous one bit 😂.
Thankyou Robert it was a hard day to be honest she was only on one hook 😬 but to get her in the net i was so chuffed really stocky fish and went back strongly which is always great 🙂 its always great to share experiences on here thankyou for supporting our channel Robert it means a lot to us 🤝😊
Great video well done on the fish.
I was fishing the Sunday on the lake if I had know you were there i would have said hi.
Thanks Rehman 🤝🙂 it was quite busy going out bit like waky races 😄 i didnt really know anybody looking round i was on boat no1 spoke to a few people i,ll definetly be on the next one maybe well meet up then 👍🙂
@luredbyesox it was crazy with to many people in a hurry to get out.
Definitely mate just send me a friend request on Facebook or something and I will let you know if I get on the next one.
@@rehmanmalik1089 will do mate its great to actually know someone when your miles from home to have a good chin wag before heading out 👍😊
That pike looked a mid twenty, stunning fish mate.
I know mate i got it totally wrong 😄 im normally pretty close but i was miles off with this one but she was so fat with a huge frame maybe the needle was stuck 😄but none the less what an awesome pike in stunning scenery 👌😊
Awesome mate, I had a good fish after discussing paternoster rigs with you, caught a new pb, many thanks 😊
Mate thats absolutely brilliant a new pb get in!! Love to hear stuff like that its why we do what we do for those special moments that we never forget well done mate 🤝😊
That was a good size croc, she has been eating well and looked over 20👍
Most Scottish lochs have beautiful scenery to take in as a bonus.🏴🎣🏴
Your absolutely right johnny scotlands easy on the eye stunning scenery she was a healthy fish that look all of 20lb but im not complaining 👌🙂
This was a great video mate , I really enjoyed watching it - looks a beautiful place to fish , one for the bucket list definitely 👍🏻
Thanks ian scotlands a truly magical place and has some fantastic pike fishing 👌 put it on that list mate and get it ticked off you won,t regret it the fishing,s a bonus 👍😊
@@luredbyesox I will do Sean , my mums Scottish from she grew up in Shetland .. but maybe that’s more Viking 🤷♂️😂
I usually fish for trout and sea trout in the summer Sean but when it cools down I’d like to go for the pike on the Dee or maybe the Canals ..
If you were starting out again would you start with lures or baits? Just interested to hear what you and Katherine think. Thanks you both
We,ve a few trout video,s on our channel now trying to put a little on for everyone to enjoy 👍😊 my advice on the pike would be fish your canal in autumn with lures that way you cover a lot more water and find the pike quicker go light and be prepared to cover some ground you should bump into a few that way 👍🙂
@@luredbyesox yes I’m enjoying the trout videos aswell as the esox hunting but they keep following you around 🤣
Thanks mate I’ll have a look round for a decent lure set up for autumn time
@@IGThomas46 i know mate 😆 fishing for brownies end up with pike 🐊 dont mind though i love em 🫶😊 what type of lure setup are you thinking of? Light lures or medium jerkbaits? Im thinking of doing a how to lure setup and what to buy video hopefully before the rivers open maybe it will help 👍🙂
I'd check those scales👍
The thickness of her across the body you thinkso but she was short strong fish tho and great to catch such an awesome fish 👍🙂
What a cracking video sean👌💯 it looked way bigger than 18 thats crazy😳😅 but what a fish she was what a savage place to fish for her. happy out for ye pal👊
Thankyou tony 🤝🙂 i put a lot into that trip 500 miles round trip but it was certainly worth the effort she was a stunner for sure so fat but short i was way out with the weight 😄 powered off strong which was great to see!! The place i stayed was amazing too topped off with a northern lights show 👌😊 awesome trip 👍🙂
Id say that sean..that trip is as close to heaven as i can think of.. its unreal up there. Id love to do it.. well worth the 500 miles💯👌 there was a 32lb caught on a local river about a mile from my house on saturday..some really good fish coming out the last few weeks here👌
@@tonyb6710 wow 😮 that,s some fish!!! From a river too wow i bet he or she was over the moon with that as for scotland its nice just to visit i had a warm welcome the scenery,s amazing and the fishing!!! Well think the video showed it off awesome place!! 👌🙂
Yea exactly the scenery alone is worth it. That fish was just a bonus 😅 i have a picture of the fish in the club chat send me your email i'll foward it on 👌 he was delighted fish of a lifetime. It took a deadbait. I must have fished the same stretch a hundred times never came near 32lb though🙈😅
@@tonyb6710 it sure is a fish of a life time what a pike that is especially from a river im not sure but i think my gmail is on the profile 👍😊
Defo looked larger. Fine fish regardless
Thanks for commenting ben 👍🙂 yes she definetly looked a lot bigger im due to go back next month so cross everything for me mate 🤝😁
Make sure you bring the camera and tight lines mate 🤞🦈
@@bencarvosso3691 will do mate n cheers i,ll be full on from start to finish as always 😄 👍🙂
Another great video mate, that place is only a hour down the road from me. What a fantastic day you must've had there. That would be fish of a lifetime for a lot of people. She was fin perfect. And the scenery isn't too shabby either eh? Pike fishing in Scotland is really tough on the big lochs especially from the bank. They hold some huge fish but they are notoriously hard to catch. Chuffed for you that you had some good weather and a stunning fish in the net.
Thankyou paul 🤝🙂 your so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world 🏴👌 the weather was kind to us that day 👍 the pike in there are stunning maybe next time i come to scotland i might have to fish lomond too 🙂👍 thanks for watching pal 🤝😊
@lured by esox loch lomond is beautiful as well, it's a massive body of water with some proper monsters!! I would definitely advise going out on a boat, and get some local knowledge or a fishing guide that knows the loch would be even better. There's some big 30's in there and maybe still 40's. Pretty much everything in there grows big. 30lb salmon, 4lb plus perch 20lb plus trout, not sure but I think there's big Roach and bream in there as well. But it's tough fishing
@@paulstares48 ive fished it before many years ago awesome place to fish its got its own atmosphere i would probably seek some advice before going back if i could get out on a boat it would be even better but just being is more than enough for me the fish would be a huge bonus of any size 🏴👍🙂
@lured by esox it's an amazing place. There's a huge pikes head in the museum in Glasgow called the Endrick pike. It was discovered in the in a Marsh near the mouth of the river Endrick which flows into loch Lomond in the 1920's or 30's. It was HUGE. Goggle Endrick pike if you want more info on it🐊
@@paulstares48 think i read about it a few years back if im right it was hooked n lost then found dead days later in and around the 50lb bracket huge fish back in them days the tackle was,nt as good as it is now so feel for the guy that it happened too shame but im sure they,ll be a big un or two lurking in the depths of lomond somewhere 👍🙂🏴
Top video again and congrats on that lovely pike! 👍🏻 where did you get your lure storage bag/box from?
Thankyou mate 🤝🙂 she was an absolute belter lovely fish went back strong too 👌😊 i bought the bag from bobco in leeds but most good retailers sell them then i went to my local diy store and bought some 3" square guttering cut it to fit the bag then tape it together n drop it in the bag 👍 youve made yourself a lure hangbag 👌😊
What bag is it you use for this mate? I’ve had a browse but can only really find a savage gear one for around £99 😂
@@107fh its like a waterproof bag with carry handles n shoulder strap im at work at the minute when i get home i,ll try find a link for you their around £40 👍🙂
Thank you, really appreciate your time 😁👍🏻

Been deadbaiting 6 times blanked every time any tips?
Hiya mate what type of water are you fishing?
@@luredbyesox canals mainly marinas
Have you tried the bobber rig with sprats that can be a deadly method especially in marinas set the depth so its about 6 to 8inches off bottom cast towards the boats and let it trot down with the flow or wind 👍 you could try injecting a little bit of oil into the bait too that helps draw the pike to the bait we did a video on the bobber rig 👌🙂
@@luredbyesoxthanks ill try it this weekend
Good luck mate hopefully you,ll get into em 🤞🙂 let us know how you get on marinas can hold pike for sure 👍🙂 they hug the boats especially the ones that are lived on 👍
Can I lure fish this loch or do you need to know someone to get on to do so I am willing to pay good money to fish it
Hi paul you need to be a member of the pac or paas and its only open to lure fishing two days each a yr but you can book a boat out and fly fish for the pike its well worth a go their,s some really big pike in there 👍🙂
@luredbyesox thanks bud I will look into that I fish the fad a d the 3 lochs next to newton stewart but that's just up the road 👍
@@paulgallacher8719 i did do a pike fly fishing video on there 👍 had a belter of a fish gopro batteries let me down but managed to get some footage of it 👌🙂
Was this a day ticket ?
Hi matt and thankyou for commenting 👍🙂 this trip was a pac event the venue is not normally open for bait and lures but you can fly fish for the pike all year round weather permitting 👍 i did upload a video last year fly fishing for the pike if you hav,nt seen it give it a watch 👌😊 all you have to do is book a boat and your away 👍🙂
Thank you I was just wondering. Because I would like to try it …. Although catching a monster like that on a fly rod is a daunting thought haha 😂
@@Followthepath89 it,s seriously good fun when you get one on the fly 👌😊 i invested in the vision pike setup it can handle big pike with ease 🐊👍 i should do more than i do maybe another video 🤔 👍
If she was 18lb she had 4lb of trout in her 😂
I dont remember ever holding an 18lber quite like it short but really fat probably did have a couple of trout for breakfast 😄
Never 18
I know mate but thats what the scales said 🙂 im not too fussed though its only a number 👍 what a stunning fish though eh 👌😊
