And what a beautiful transom it was! I can only dream of having a transom that nice. Can't stop thinking about it. It's a dream transom. Some day I'll save up enough and get one just like that. Some day....
Wow just seeing this out of the box ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.
it wasnt a camera phone like today, it woulda been an old VHS recorder. Also when your buddy has the British record possibly on the end of the line, you doing the net takes priority over camera !!
This was beautiful to watch. Congratulations on such an amazing catch. It honestly fills me with joy because everyone wins: the fish goes back, and you get the catch of a lifetime. So wonderful!!!
I stock my aquarium and fish it everyday. I just put a worm on a hook and throw it out then wait. i hold all the records in my aquarium. Im a real fisherman
I was watching this and praying that you released this fish and you did. I commend you on that. That was a fantastic pike. I have fished pike for over 53 years and never had one even come close to that. I did have a few muskie that followed my bait that never hit that would have gave your pike a run for its money. Congratulations! Steve Bonds in Bay City, Michigan USA
This guy is associated with the largest child interaction ring in the UK they make snuff movies etc and have done for decades. I have a load of evidence on them but the police are protecting them as there is a lot of blackmail involved. Their group is by far the worst.
I once caught a 50 pound Muskie in the St. Lawrence River using the same guide as Bobby Orr uses. This was in Lancaster, Ont. twenty five years ago. The hook ruined the fish so I gave the head to an Indian family for soup and the body to a Jewish friend for gefeltafish. Happy New Year
@nospoon. Related to the royals I he? We have a real bad problem in Hollywood here in the states.smh I like to think justice will come to those . We need to protect our children better.
I'm an American. Don't listen to these obnoxious North American UA-cam posters. Why are people so mean? It's an absolutely beautiful catch. You have every reason to be thrilled.
ootie extreme Typcially when the moniker "American" is used you are speaking of a citizen of the United States, whereas "North American" would also include the nation of Canada.
I know right, at least make it a challenge by using some artificial tackle. No challenge at all throwing a trout on a hook in the middle of an overly stocked trout pond and waiting for the bobber to go down. Now getting that pike to take a streamer on fly would be respectable.
Awesome job.....I understand....others may not but that was a personal goal....the fish lived and you didn’t try to make it out to be more than it was....great seeing [people live out their dreams
@@bryanprice2800 Yeah if you want a real one of those a great spot is Northern Saskatchewan, Canada. Lots of lakes up there that are basically unfished. Might have to fly to it in a bush plane but you'll never experience any better fresh water fishing. Worlds better than terrorising a small trout pond with some poor bugger you hook every few weeks like these guys.
@@michaelfitzgerald6341 - You’re right! Fishing in Northern Saskatchewan IS great. Try fly fishing for them with an 8 or 9 weight rod!!! Amazing!! You will definitely get some bruised knuckles but it will be worth it! Heh heh.
When I was a young man I was fishing behind a power house in a small village in Michigan. I was using a beetle spin and kept casting it back and forth. Then I got snagged or so I thought. I kept pulling and it was coming in it looked like I had caught a a pretty good size limb. When I got it close to shore it turned and snapped my line. It was the biggest pike I had ever seen. Must of been over 4 feet long . I will never fish there again without a steel leader.
That's like trapping a trophy buck in a 50 acre field surrounded by 18ft fence and sitting in a tree pod in the corner and giving it a 50cal to the lungs when it stops to graze on some grass and then posting it on UA-cam as some kind of lifetime achievement lol
But did you release the trophy buck though? And can you see where the monster pike actually is? Because that pike has a choice between all the other bait fish or that fish on your line so your point is invalid.
Tied to a dock while in a boat, and fishing WTF? This is like shooting a 16 pt buck on a game ranch and claiming your hunting prowess. I can’t believe I watched this.
Congrats ! Thx to river monsters catching big fish has never been more fun to watch. I have jackfish at my cabin, turtle lake saskatchewan, and I'm never going back in the water. 😎👍
I'm from Ontario Canada. We love to fish pike but we drive for at least 5hrs north and the thrill is untouched lakes and looking for the fish not fishing in a backyard pond stocked with them
Mikoalex miko ...I came from Fort Frances Ontario and lived in Dryden Ont for awhile! I love fishing 🎣🇨🇦💋💕🐠👌🥰😍🌊🐟my son went to Red Lake Ont to fish and brought back pike fillets I gad to fold to fit them in my freezer! Great part of Canada 🇨🇦!
Hi I am from the UK. I mainly fish for pike perch and trout with lures. In large lakes. Glacial and reservoirs. And out in the salt. I agree with you. This ain't fishing. I mean where is the challenge? I know these guys personally as friends of my Father. He is a child interactor, snuff producer and a big fan of "child interaction". They only pursue that which is easy to catch. I have documented a huge case surrounding this group of perverts. The police however say "no evidence" on the record. Off the record they say I am correct but there are too many people under control by this group. They are total scum. They connect to the royals, and considering the global reports about them, you can see I have some real disgusting enemies. So they are crap at fishing because they are this type of person. Always the easy way. All about image. Dirty old men living in fear of getting found out.
Years ago I was at my grand father's brothers house he lived very close the the portage lake lift bridge in Hancock Michigan, we were out on an old wooden dock probably 100 years old. Some of the boards were missing, I was looking down in the water between the missing boards, I saw a pike or musky that was well over 5 ft. My sister and I watched him for a few minutes before he swam off. It was a massive fish and was almost as big around and the telephone pole size logs holding the old dock up. My grandfathers brother said those are the ones that eat ducks out here.
Exactly Tabitha! As a fellow fisherman, I could never see the achievement factor in pulling fish out of a swim or lake that's stocked/man-filled to capacity with starved fish. Especially the pond in this video! have you seen all those trout swimming in a starved frenzy? A child could stick it's baby net into the water with a piece of bread and catch one of those trout.
my friend did much the same , they purchased a 45lb pike from Russia put it in his duck pond and caught it with a rod. my other mate ade Caught a 39lb pike from the river yare after 4 years of home work and said that was more full filling than catching the 45lb from the duck pond.
Trout fishery doubles as a specimen pike farm. Can you really record this as a true record? Nice to catch them no doubt but the saying, “fish in a barrel” comes to mind.
Kids in care are also fish in a barrel. This lot are "child interactors". They make dirty movies. They have been doing it since the eighties. Shocking stuff. Tell the world please. They abused my sons and have used blackmail to get away with it.
What kind of a PFD are you wearing? Is it the type that expands with a CO2 charge? It looks MUCH more comfortable when fishing then the bulky foam type.
Sorry but a private pond that you stock and supply the lone pike with food a plenty, will NEVER be considered a world record! Take a trip and try your luck catching one that size out of the St. Lawrence or anywhere in Canada and see if you can get a world record then! It is a nice fish but it can only be said that you have a well fed PET that takes no skill to catch repeatedly!
lifetimes ambition..good for this guy always nice to see such a thing fulfilled. fishing is great and always a blast i hope to go again more this year and next year too looking forward to some trips.
once i was out fishing all alone ..... and I caught a Pike 10X bigger then the one in this video ..... i took pictures, videos, newspaper, i was famous, showed all my friends .... I had it stuffed and mounted on my wall and I charged other people $10 each just to see it... $20 with a picture ...... and than??? I WOKE UP!!! it was all only a dream ..... it was Monday morning and I had to go to work! DANG!!!
i wanna ask about the way to fish for northern pike. ive seen people not let them take any line but heard you have to let them take quite a bit of it and then start reeling. which is correct?

@@stephenpounder4704 Iv taken a 24 lb monster from Loch Awe, biggest from Lomond is around 15lb. However the record would have been smashed with the pike that was in Lomond. Long time ago a pike was found dead on Loch Lomond (River Endrick mouth) the head of the pike is still kept in a museum in Glasgow. Scientists predict the pike weighed anything between 70-90lbs. google it guys
very sporting of you to release a trophy Pike. your experience is validated and saved, though many would have it mounted. Bravo for the releasing it to fight another day.
i watched the video again, its a rather small pond theyre fishing in, most likely everyone gets a try at that same fish in a body of water that small. still its a great looking fish.
Zachary Madison no! Not in the Uk or europe, the pike is acually a very important fish in a lake or pond. Whitout the pike a hole ecosystem could be ruined!
Somehow I don't get excited about fish that are caught in an aquarium. By that I mean putting a predator like a pike into a stocked lake. The same thing goes for stocking trout in a bass lake. It is only my opinion, though and the only opinion that matters is your own
That is something that irritates me when someone crucifies someone when they just voice an opinion. If it isn't just totally idiotic or something offensive, let them have their say.
Pretty much all my pikes have been hammer handles. Found a spot on a creek where the water had gone down so low that there was this one pool that was filled with pike, they couldn't get out. All hammer handles. Every time you cast you caught one and they were fun to catch. Caught about a dozen of them and yes thru them all back. The name of the creek was Pickerel Creek and it lived up to its name.
Someone had to have put the pike in there when it was small, since there are no inlets. They planned for the pike to remain captive in the enclosed pond and feast on the trout which had been stocked there. They then proceeded to monitor the pike as it grew. Definitions: 'Farm'-"land or water devoted to the raising of animals, fish, plants, etc." 'Farmed(v.tr.)'-"To *cultivate, breed, or raise (plants or animals)." 'Wild'-(of an animal): "Living in nature without human control or care : not tame." While this fish might technically be 'farmed,' it sure doesn't seem to take away from the guys joy of pulling in this monster- and isn't that what fishing is all about?
well, most freshwater fish can travel to new waters by hitching a ride on ducks feet and so.. as eggs avoiding to get pike or perch in a water system is harder then getting some in on purpose although, you are right that it has some exlent feeding grounds there
That's like raising Whitetail deer in a fence end area andfeeding him nothing but high nutrient food and when he grows a monster antlers and then you kill him and say it's a world record Whitetail deer.
I think this should not considered anywhere mere a record for two reasons first it's a privately owned lake or "pond" that is only seven acres and it sounds like there is only one northern pike in it. So they stock it with trout to feed the only northern pike and let it grow to that size. Even if it breaks the weight record for the country or world it should never be allowed in the record books.
Caught a 52" pike a few years ago at Castle Loch. It weighed 21.5Lbs but the scissors on it's leftside were mutilated into what I can only describe as a small ping pong ball. The left side of its mouth couldn't open because of this. Often wondered what it must have weighed when healthy. Smashin catch mucker.
Hell Ive went to trout ponds and caught records, but for everyday fishing you will be waiting another 50 years to catch a fish that breaks records ,this is cheating.
A few years ago a guy in Alaska cought a monster salmon, fought it for a few hours. Got it in, handed the rod to his buddy so he could pick the fish up out of the water and was disqualified because of this.
Caught my first Grilse the other evening on a trout fly, it was 3lbs and fought hard for 5 minutes... given the choice record pike or the Grilse, hand's down the grilse. None the less well done on your big pike 👍
All you critics, in case you haven't heard what the man's said, he stared that he waited like 50 years to catch such big pike, world record or not, it's HIS RECORD!
I’ve been raising one in my pond for 20 years . Feed him pellets daily and he’s no natural predators. I figure I’ll catch him again next year and the year after until he beats the state record. Then sInwill blubber after I consider the money I spent on him instead of real fishing trips.
Remember when I was a kid my dad took me on holiday to Wales for the summer holidays and we visited some sort of castle with a fair, as we travelled around we hit some spots to look over the castle walls and look down into the sea it must of been some depth over 60ft and below in the water you could see multiple circles or what looked like pikes its something I've never forgotten because my dad held me over the wall so I could see better
I particularly liked the 2 minutes of looking at the boats transom.
Dick Dastardly idiots
u mean the 2 minutes where they "shadow fishing" and then suddenly big fish appears in the net?
So you wouldn't see how many IGFA rules they broke.
And what a beautiful transom it was! I can only dream of having a transom that nice. Can't stop thinking about it. It's a dream transom. Some day I'll save up enough and get one just like that. Some day....
Yeah. We missed the bit when they chucked the dynamite in the drink

Great camera work loved seeing the inside of your boat
Don't worry, you can catch your pet pike again next week. What's his name?

Not invasive in the UK.
Zachary Madison no! Not in the Uk or europe, the pike is acually a very important fish in a lake or pond. Whitout the pike a hole ecosystem could be ruined!
wow, that is big. I caught a monster in the thousand islands last year but it wasn't that fat. nice video, thanks.
Superb! Dream come true. I hope I'm so lucky in my fishing escapades.
Dude, it's a STOCKED POND. It's practically hand-fed. Congrats for catching a tame fish.
Anabolic steroids))
well did it swim back off?
Thats definitely worth the wait well done wow
Good Man to release. Proud of you. A true sportsman.
Somehow I don't get excited about fish that are caught in an aquarium. By that I mean putting a predator like a pike into a stocked lake. The same thing goes for stocking trout in a bass lake. It is only my opinion, though and the only opinion that matters is your own
Totally agree
That is something that irritates me when someone crucifies someone when they just voice an opinion. If it isn't just totally idiotic or something offensive, let them have their say.
+C moore shoosh
C moore ...I like your thinking and ☝️ agree...
A stocked private pond . Shouldnt qualify for a world record
Seems like shooting fish in a barrel.
Unfair no kind of a sportsman
I agree with all the comments
not a world record anyway. the NY State record is over 46 lbs.
No one said it was a world record you donkey...the record in the UK is 46lb 12oz.
Pretty special moment and memory. Congratulations!
Bit late pal, he took the big sleep years back.
Pretty much all my pikes have been hammer handles. Found a spot on a creek where the water had gone down so low that there was this one pool that was filled with pike, they couldn't get out. All hammer handles. Every time you cast you caught one and they were fun to catch. Caught about a dozen of them and yes thru them all back. The name of the creek was Pickerel Creek and it lived up to its name.
Just an advert for the lakes!! not impressed!
imo an advert for not to go there.
happy to know this fish is still alive and well caught less than a month ago
Well we missed the fight...glad this beauty came back where it belongs..thanks guys
That scale is undeniably accurate.
Someone had to have put the pike in there when it was small, since there are no inlets. They planned for the pike to remain captive in the enclosed pond and feast on the trout which had been stocked there. They then proceeded to monitor the pike as it grew.
Definitions:
'Farm'-"land or water devoted to the raising of animals, fish, plants, etc."
'Farmed(v.tr.)'-"To *cultivate, breed, or raise (plants or animals)."
'Wild'-(of an animal): "Living in nature without human control or care : not tame."
While this fish might technically be 'farmed,' it sure doesn't seem to take away from the guys joy of pulling in this monster- and isn't that what fishing is all about?
+Justin Cokit or could it just be a bird as many birds carry fish eggs from other lakes under their wings
well, most freshwater fish can travel to new waters by hitching a ride on ducks feet and so.. as eggs
avoiding to get pike or perch in a water system is harder then getting some in on purpose
although, you are right that it has some exlent feeding grounds there
That's like raising Whitetail deer in a fence end area andfeeding him nothing but high nutrient food and when he grows a monster antlers and then you kill him and say it's a world record Whitetail deer.
Judge Executioner don't forget controlled genetics
Exactly!!!
Judge Executioner LOL!!! No shit!! " A once in a lifetime catch" yeah right!!! This could be a once a day catch! These bloke are pathetic!
Gob shites prob take turns catching it the fish has more cop on
Yeah but u use your eyes to spot the deer. With fishing u have to use your brains n out think the fish. Your status couldn't be any further off
Great job! Is this Scotland? Congrats from Michigan!
Well done mate she's a monster👍😷👍🏴
I think this should not considered anywhere mere a record for two reasons first it's a privately owned lake or "pond" that is only seven acres and it sounds like there is only one northern pike in it. So they stock it with trout to feed the only northern pike and let it grow to that size. Even if it breaks the weight record for the country or world it should never be allowed in the record books.

Good catch never mind all the negative remarks there just jealous key board warriors
Excelent size i almost feel for it though its always being (specialized) caught.
Hi
Yup that's a beast, i live in northern sask and fish the northern pikes here and never seen one like that, nice catch
Caught a 52" pike a few years ago at Castle Loch. It weighed 21.5Lbs but the scissors on it's leftside were mutilated into what I can only describe as a small ping pong ball. The left side of its mouth couldn't open because of this. Often wondered what it must have weighed when healthy. Smashin catch mucker.
Nicely done, no pompous talking 'Me, I or mine', very well done sir I salute you. You are a fisherman of note.
The Renumeratorguitar
He's a phony
You talk about a fish of a lifetime, yet this fish was hooked three times in what, a week or two?
Not very impressive.
Very nice!
How are they (and I'm asking seriously) for eating?
Hell Ive went to trout ponds and caught records, but for everyday fishing you will be waiting another 50 years to catch a fish that breaks records ,this is cheating.
40 seconds to land a 43lb Pike, where's the sport in that ! what are you fishing with tow rope !!!
Sounds like 30lb fire wire.
Fish has been cought so many times it probably just rolled over on it side and said let's get this over with so I can go back to eating.
A few years ago a guy in Alaska cought a monster salmon, fought it for a few hours. Got it in, handed the rod to his buddy so he could pick the fish up out of the water and was disqualified because of this.
@ray jingcock maybe the next time if you don't use so much tooth action you won't be disqualified.
Caught my first Grilse the other evening on a trout fly, it was 3lbs and fought hard for 5 minutes...
given the choice record pike or the Grilse, hand's down the grilse.
None the less well done on your big pike 👍
Good things come to those who wait. Great job. Nice pike
I send out a huge thank you to all who send these beautiful fish back unharmed. Great job women and gentlemen!
All you critics, in case you haven't heard what the man's said, he stared that he waited like 50 years to catch such big pike, world record or not, it's HIS RECORD!
I’ve been raising one in my pond for 20 years . Feed him pellets daily and he’s no natural predators. I figure I’ll catch him again next year and the year after until he beats the state record. Then sInwill blubber after I consider the money I spent on him instead of real fishing trips.
Remember when I was a kid my dad took me on holiday to Wales for the summer holidays and we visited some sort of castle with a fair, as we travelled around we hit some spots to look over the castle walls and look down into the sea it must of been some depth over 60ft and below in the water you could see multiple circles or what looked like pikes its something I've never forgotten because my dad held me over the wall so I could see better
Awesome mate !
lake Simcoe Ontario Canada baby monster pike !!!!!
Will Kayy ...Lake Simcoe is nice...good places to swim...
