Good explanation, however their slime coat is also important you not over handle it, they are susceptible to bacteria if its wiped off in the net and hands . Good vid
@@bhfishing8572 But don't they thrash randomly like other fish?? Why would you want to put your bare hand right next to something "razor sharp" if you don't have to lol. I'm good I don't need to prove I'm tough to anyone, give me the gloves 😂
@@bhfishing8572 Actually came in handy, caught my first pike today actually lol was about 14-15 inches, and I knew not to try to lip it XD Been fishing for 7 years, never caught a pike, didn't even know there were big pikes in this pond, only caught little tiny ones
@@rackinfrackinvarmint I don't know about that, been doing it for a decade and have never broken a fish's jaw. I feel like the only possible way for that to happen is by being really dumb and twisting your hand up
Thank you I really appreciate the positive feedback, to be honest it's still a pretty new channel , I only started putting it out there a couple of weeks ago but I hope now with new content coming every week and a huge build up of videos already pipelined the channel will continue to grow. (Invite your friends) hahaha 😂 If there is anything you would like to see let me know and if I can I will try and make some content on it !
Hi , If it's really hot I tend not to pike fish during the peak hours and just stick to the cooler mornings and evenings, that said I find top water lures are awsome during the summer months, poppers ,frogs , ducks , rats , bats , snakes...... the choices are endless ! All lures will catch but it's a great opportunity to see the fish strike , check out some of my top water clips if you have a chance Thanks for stopping by ,let me know how you get on ! tight lines 🎣🙂
Check out some of the other content you will see some that go a little more crazy! just give them time, turn them on there back until they are calm, get a good hold and smile for the photo 😄
Totally agree went pike fishing today. caught a 11lb pike thrashing around like crazy. Had to sit it in between legs just to hold it. It's very hard to chin them when they thrash around. I dont play them on the line to tire out and when I rest them in the net before releasing the shoot off. I think a lot of these videos are edited with a very tired fish. Not complaining it's a very good video i enjoyed watching it thank you.
Did not like the way you handled the first fish, first of all you should not put your hands directly on the pike, they have a protective slimy coat which will wear off if you touch them directly with your skin. This is really bad for the pike and can even be lethal.
It's a well know fact that gloves remove the film on the fish they provide a far more abrasive surface than that of skin, not putting you down but do some research pal 👍
@@langsmalkompass You've been massively misinformed if you believe that. It is in fact the opposite, wearing gloves, using towells etc is damaging to the fish, handling with bear hands is the BEST thing to do. This is why you never see any pro anglers using anything like gloves or towells because these actually remove the protective layer because they absorb the moisture and rub the slime off. Hands do not do this and by far the best and only safe option when handling a pike
Holding is not the issue, it depends on how awake and aggressive they are.
very nice fish and handling skills my friend
Thanks for checking it out 😁
Wauw a really big and strong fish'es you catching Nice job well done 💪🏻!
Great job. R.
Thank you nice fish I’ve caught a nice 22 incher but that is something else.
Amazing.

Very nice handling
Thanks
I caught a 41 inch 20 pound pike yesterday and didn’t know how to hold him! Is it still ok to pick them up like this if they are that heavy?
Congratulations! Must of been a beauty , yes this is by far the safest way to hold them 🙂
thanks!
How do I avoid the gill rakers when they are right there? Tried and cut my hand
I normally jest keep my hand tight to the inside of the cheek sliding up and inward from the Gill cover, hope that helps ?
How do you not cut your hand against the first gill? Is the edge of the gill sharp or is the entire gill sharp
It's important to keep the hand against the membrane of the skin before the jaw bone to avoid touching the gill raker
@@user-rl6wr2ny7f no gloves needed 👌 🙂

@@combofriend4461 it's just much safer for the fish 🙂
You missed a Y at the end of the description
Okay, so don’t try to lip a pike like I do with bass, good to know if I ever catch one
Hahah deffinatly don't try the lip grip you might not have many fingers left 🤣

Should never lip a fish. You'll probably break its jaw. Not a big deal if you're keeping it tho

It’s crazy how many subscribers you have and views you have so sad not more people are watching ur videos ur videos are amazing

@@Annasainz_originalview thanks ! Best of luck with your family fishing adventures!
What venue is this please?
Thanks man i caught one two days ago and i didnt know how to catch it so he made my jacket all fishy
Did you think he was cold out of the water ? 😅 ... thanks for watching!
@@bhfishing8572 dont know
In the hotish sort of weather would you go with lures that are on top of the water ?

BH Fishing thanks for the reply , good luck fishing in the future , tight lines too... Subbed 👍🏼
I’m so scared to chin itttt
Why ?
@@bhfishing8572 pike scare the shit out of me lmao but I also haven’t caught many to learn how to chin it
@@bhfishing8572 but I’m gonna try it soemtime
@@brandonwells2271 deffinatly do !I'm sure you will be just fine ! Try go with someone experienced if you haven't been before
Just be confident while handling it and you should be fine
I catch clots of pike but u can’t get over chinung them
Lol these videos always show a fish that is playing dead. Do a video for the ones that won’t stop thrashing.
Check out some of the other content you will see some that go a little more crazy! just give them time, turn them on there back until they are calm, get a good hold and smile for the photo 😄

Big thing is handling too much wipes off the slime coat then they’re dead to rights from infection and disease
Good to get your hands wet before touching them
I get scared when touching fish

Very curious as to what you would hold it with if not your hands...?
@@bhfishing8572 You should wear some gloves so that you wont damage the fish
