- The Redfin pike (or redfin pickerel) is a fish that i have heard about most of my life but never have managed to catch one...until now!
I hope you enjoy the video and don't forget to like/suscribe/comment/share.
Thanks

Probably the most underated fish in freshwater! Not only do they fight like a trout but are pretty dang tasty! Subscribed just on this video alone. Hope to see more adventures. Good video!👍
Thanks bud…I’ve got several more Redfin videos on the channel and made some connections already for next season. With all the rain we have had here this summer, next summer should be great for Redfin!
it seems everyone hates pickerel so its always nice to see someone who appreciates them
I enjoy catching Redfin pickerel. I unique fish to catch in unique locations
I live on the gulf coast of alabama pickerel are our only species of pike so I love them I caught one redfin pickerel mostly chains
Red Fin Pike are not Boney. Jack Fish or Pickerel are Boney and get a lot Larger!
I have never caught one before myself. They must not be in north Georgia. Thank you for sharing. And God bless you and your family....🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀
I am not sure how far north they go, I do know they prefer hot slow moving water so they may no like it much up there!
It has been decades since I caught and fried up gashed redfin pike. Probably the sweetest eating fish out of the Creek! Delicious! I'm an "Old Timer" but I have been told by old timers that you can take a piece of red cloth like flannel or hosiery material without a hook and catch them. Their sharp little teeth will get caught in the material and you can snatch them right out of the water.
Great video! I've been a subscriber just under a year and thoroughly enjoy your videos! This video makes me want to drag my canoe to Penholloway Creek (that I live on) and try to catch some redfin pike. Oh, was that fish you called a government fish a sand perch. Kinda looks like a cross between a bream and a crappie! Keep up the great videos!
Thanks, I have heard that cloth trick from at least 2-3 other people. May have to try it out! Thanks for checking out the channel!
Just for your information, that cloth trick probably works, i never fished for redfin pickerel, they dont live in my country 😂😂 But here in Turkey, we use bright colored silk to catch needlefish, who also have small, needle like teeth. They have hard, bony jaws so silk sometimes works better than a hook. Also it's much easier to release them without any damage if you want. No snags as well.
When I was younger I used to love catching the redfin! Mostly in Emanuel county. That was some fine fun and some fine eating!
I’ve heard a lot for people tell me about how they used to love catching them. May go after so more this week!
That sunfish was a Flier, the one you weren’t sure about. I swear they evolved from crappie to survive in more backwater type creeks and stuff.
I ha emcee heard them called that a time or two.
They look almost identical in body shape.
I was building a boat dock in Orlando FL this week...I saw a red fin pickerel for the first time.. beautiful fish man!
My number one bucket list species
Good eating and what makes it better was that it was right in my backyard.
redfin-my favorite to catch and eat-flyer for sure-my grandpa used to snatch them out with a pole using red flannel till he caught one then a strip of belly meat-good video
Thanks, I will be trying the red flannel trick soon!
finally made it back to canochee at 280 over weekend,bite was slow ,but i caught enough for a good meal last night-hope it doesnt dry up before it gets right
@@twohandsworking896 the water is dripping quick. I will be in ft Stewart fishing this weekend.
Awesome!!!
Thanks! It was a fun fish to catch
Keep up the great work. Awesome content.
Thanks!
My Grandpa used to talk about Red fin pike,it was one of his favorite eating fish. He’s from Georgia too.
I’ve heard similar stories about grandpas and Redfin pike, including my own pa. That’s kind of the reason I wanted to target them.
I have always heard about them too! I never caught any but I want too! Cool video bro
Come on man, I’ve got several spots to catch them. The bite usually gets right around summer time
@@G2GO_outdoors Ok perfect, we will make it happen!
They are adorable. Like baby muskies. And the way they wave their dorsal fins. Idk if i could eat one.
I’ve never eaten Muskie, but sure if you even can but these fish are honestly some of the best tasting fish in the swamp!
Good video dude, I just stumbled across your channel
Thanks, glad you liked it! I’ve got plenty more
Sure would like to catch a few of those
They are fun!
Born and raised in emanuel County. I love catching and eating red fins. This video makes me want to get the rooster tails out
Awesome, that’s why I make these videos. I’ll be after the Redfin again soon!
I caughta redfin pickerel out of my seasonal pond that meets a stream it was awesome when i figured out what it was one day we walked out there and at least 3-4 random pickeral were basking in the sun
Green roster tell works for the redfins as well
Skin them like catfish instead of scoring them. Yum
Never thought about that!
Bet there is a monster bass somewhere in there
Used to catch them in Montgomery Country Ga and Vidallia area.
Just up the road from me!
Just moved to wheeler county, have family in Montgomery. Been on the hunt for them ever since I got here
Very cool! What state and region is this in? This little fish is on my fish bucketlist.
South east Georgia!
I use to catch them all the time in the summer b4 the creek dried up u need technique and a hot day they usually sit on the top
They are definitely fun and seemed to be caught how and where you least expect them. Can’t wait til next summer to get back on them again.
That bluegill looked like a flier hybrid or something. I don't even know that that's possible but it didn't look typical to me.
I am looking to find some of these as far up into Northwest Georgia as I can since it's closer to where I live. Anything for places to go or tips on a waterway?
I’ve honestly only fished for them down south however, I would wait til the dog days of summer in slow/shallow dark water and fish with red colored lures. They are extremely aggressive and sometimes in water only inches deep.
@@G2GO_outdoors ask around if you know of anyone catching any north of Atlanta... I want to get some northern bowfins also... thanks. I just wanted a few pike for pets in one of my ponds... I am looking for some for plopping into my 35,000 gallon pond That's just going to have them and some forage fish for them to eat and that's it
That sunfish is a flier
I think you’re right
Where ya from
Cobbtown…it ain’t much but it’s home!
@G2GO_outdoors I know where that is I live in dublin
