Excellent dead bait video. Enjoyed how you showed your entire setup, the precise placement of your cast, the strike, and how to make a successful release. Absolutely great
this geezer is an absolute legend brilliantly informative and caring about his sport but with an uncle like mr wilson he has been taught by the best :) still a brilliiant angler in his own right !!!!
awesome video! I love how you explain the mesh glove, then proceed to nearly stick your exposed hand into the mouth :D. But yeah great video explaining everything you do and why. lovely fish!
Martin that was a great production, would of liked to see the rig in more detail but besides that I found it very educational, thanks for taking the time to film and post, CavemanDom
Good advert for how to to enjoy pike fishing, but most important, having the correct gear (long disgorger etc) enabling you to release the fish quickly good man-good video
Such a shame that pike fishing is so underrated in the UK in comparison to carp. In my opinion, lure fishing for pike is the ultimate (fishing) kick just because of the split second striking force of Mr Esox. It can literally come out from nowhere :))....
Quite a lot of chub and barbel, roach, dace, bream, tench, eels, perch and lets not forget rudd grayling and zander. Yes many puffs of blood. But without pike something else could arrive and kill them all. Long live old pike fishing.
@bigglego its for fun, so the fish can carry on with its life, and so other anglers may hav the chance to catch aswel, it also helps with fish stocking, but if there is too many pike, or if theyr growing too big, ther wil have to be some removed, to keep other stocks of fish ballanced.
heeh you can only put a baitrunner on if the reel is made by Shimano naughty, otherwise it is "free spool" for any other brand. Im bored, sorry lol was a great watch again though! Although i saw this years ago as well.
@UberRuler for me the best place for pike is up north in huntsville fishing in lake peninsula or lake vernon using a jitterbug or a ripplin redfin fish of a dock and slow down when the luer gets to the dock cause thats where they hit 95% of the time good luck
@SirLucastv thx so much, as generally my comments on Utube on fishing, especially sea-fishing, are not well received! -your motto is excellent, and all aspiring young anglers should take notice of that principle
Yeah use barbless trebles or have one hook on the treble semi barbed (that one goes into your dead bait).. Or use fully barbless treblkes and tie your bait on altho you must ensure no snappage if you are tying things to traces.
Nice fish mate well done. Some very childish comments below As for any Polish fishing on my clubs banks you will be asked why you there? where is your club book? and License? if non are shown you will get a right hook and get pushed in.
Do you use wobbled deadbait and lure tactics aswell? I normally fish legered or freelined static deads using 2.75lb tc carp rods but I like the idea of roving for a change rather than just waiting and hoping a fish will find my bait. I've ordered an 8ft esox spinflex rod and I've put a load of sprats in my freezer for wobbling tactics. Is braid a good choice for this? Reel is a 5000 baitrunner (with 12lb mono already on it). The river is in flood now so I should probably go and try for a barbel!
very good job. congratulations can you give more information about the rod and the reel please? what are the length, action and line-lure weight etc ??
can you help me please . i have trouble with keeping the treble hooks in place and when i do eventually get them in it doesnt seem to stay hooked . can you help please ?
magnificent fish....which begs a question as to why you would use an oily sea fish as bait, like makerel, and multiple hooks...hardly seems fair and just. personally i would like to see the focus on understandign the fish rather than the self gratification of snaring it using bomb proof methods. what is the point? long live the pike..

these videos are great - really good to be able to see such an excellent angler on the bank like this
I agree. As a 73 year old returner lessons like this should help me overcome my childhood fear of landing pike.
The best river pike fishing video on UA-cam. Well done mate :D
Watch River Piker channel on youtube. You'll love it.
Im not fan of lure fishing, i love bait
@@allenjohnson9554 bet your a fan of dogging...
@@danieluk22 im not, but i bet your mom is
this blokes had more specimen fish then many can dream about
great pike fishing been looking for one of these videos for ages thanks.
That was a great video. and a great pike.
Wow great fish and some very useful tips. I'm going to try your rig next time I'm pike fishing.
awesome video! I love how you explain the mesh glove, then proceed to nearly stick your exposed hand into the mouth :D. But yeah great video explaining everything you do and why. lovely fish!
A round of applause for that fish could not hold my breath that long!!!!!!!! lol

Great video mate
Lovely fish, well done.
Love the way he said be calm and he was shaking like a person on crack :)
Martin doing his best John Wilson
well done mate ,clean getaway
Good advert for how to to enjoy pike fishing, but most important, having the

good man-good video
beautiful pike, well done
always good to see a fish like that returned.here in ireland there are people killing them,which is sad.
nufto My local lake has been destroyed from Polish anglers and now there are very few pike left.
Nice work mate!
big beautiful beast !!! ciao dall'ITALIA
Great video, very useful.
i really enjoyed dis vid ... good job, well done!
lmao... I cracked up as soon as I saw him
The accent combined with the girly perm just does it all.
Nice video, it´s really a good inspiration
awesome video, i caught a huge pike whilst lure fishing on the canal was about 10lb I was very happy

Great fish! I am going to try to do some Northern Pike fishing soon.
Good Fishing! You must Be Strong!
i have never seen anyone get that out of breath
i have never heard Martin Bowler speak-only seen him in IYCF
Didn't expect him to have a bit of a London accent :D
Nice video though
super catch!
Quite a lot of chub and barbel, roach, dace, bream, tench, eels, perch and lets not forget rudd grayling and zander. Yes many puffs of blood. But without pike something else could arrive and kill them all. Long live old pike fishing.
Good Fish Martin
Great video
Nice catch there!
when its hot true, but in cold weather they fare better
Nice fish! Looks like a good 22-25 pounder.
Great video sir
@bigglego its for fun, so the fish can carry on with its life, and so other anglers may hav the chance to catch aswel, it also helps with fish stocking, but if there is too many pike, or if theyr growing too big, ther wil have to be some removed, to keep other stocks of fish ballanced.
Nice fish.
nice catches
he knows all about his stuff
No one here in the US would ever fish for pike this way BUT I'm gonna try it today in the cold river water. I'll let ya know what happens :)
nice video
Nice fish!
Nice pike Martin
Just found your channel Loved the video! Gave you a sub so I get all your future updates! Love pike fishing.
Nice one.
Brilliant as always Martin. I wish ch4 would commission a new go fishing series, you would do John proud presenting it mate 👍 🎣

NICE FISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
them epix pro epb50 are superb
good job !!!
Get your facts right it's his channel. And although i hate his haircut he is a quality bloke who knows how to fish.
danny fairbrass eat your heart out quality video
good vid
Good job!

Nice pike lad
i camped in wye valley, its beautiful.

Seems like a complicated system that catches pike just as good as a bucktail or spinnerbait with a 50lb leader.
This guy's accent is great...what part of the UK is this from?
@UberRuler also for me the best fishing stores are bass pro shops lebaron toronto or peters bait and tackle st catharines lebaron probably the best
very good job. congratulations
can you give more information about the rod and the reel please? what are the length, action and line-lure weight etc ??
wait so I will go pike fishing with just a topwater lure and 20lbs braid. will this work, or do i need mono line and/or that floater thing
hi,
i meant "disgorger" in the general sense
-i do use long forceps to take hook(s) out!
-dont worry, I value my fingers!
Nice🎣👍
@yoda12145 he dont mean go and have a brew he means dont flap or rush your hand actions. So DO take your time.
Nice fish
can someone tell me what reel is he using? Because I don't understand what's he saying.
@WOLFGANGER666 Mepps or a Spinnerbait always work well
yeah, oooh, mmh!
can you help me please . i have trouble with keeping the treble hooks in place and when i do eventually get them in it doesnt seem to stay hooked . can you help please ?
nice rig
He said he was using Mono, its braid on his reels??
nufto exactly. This pike was to big to eat. best pikes to eat are aroung 1,5 - 2 kgs . love them fresh from the river.
Jaki ty głupi jesteś!!!
William F I am sick of guys like this guy, ruining the sport. The situation here in Ireland is becoming worse and worse from people like him.
i fish this river as it's on my doorstep, i've had a few 20lb + pike,
What depth of water were you fishing in?
magnificent fish....which begs a question as to why you would use an oily sea fish as bait, like makerel, and multiple hooks...hardly seems fair and just. personally i would like to see the focus on understandign the fish rather than the self gratification of snaring it using bomb proof methods. what is the point? long live the pike..
you try not to hurt pike but you have wide net holes....... which means tail is gonna be tear into tiny stripes...... buy new net
A 42 inch net is a must so you can let the pike recover
I dont think an experienced angler like Martin needs some of these stupid comments guys.....well done Martin nice fish
Really enjoyed this vid! Question can anyone give me the name of a good pike lure as im not having much luck catching one, thanks!
is not out of breathe its because the microphone is right near his mouth.
perfect example of why snap tackles shouldn't be used. archaic pike angling, single barbless treble is all that is needed.
Rubbish!!
Sound like a old man martin
love it if when he gt it up it was a turtle or something. Never gonna happen but it would certainly make things more interesting.
МARTIN RESPEKT!!!
i love fishing but i would never eat a fish i caught like pike or carp its just wrong...
reel is an akuma epix pro
o no he has teef
he walked bout 5 feet from where he was and could barely breath ..........
You trying sell tackle or fish
@survivalisme88 he even says he's out of breath
