Join Derrek Stewart and myself as we find un charted waters on Great Bear Lake during our Plummer's Lodges trip to find and catch the bigger Pike in that area.
Very nice video Bill! You fished the water very intelligently, nicely done! Would've been fun to have seen you fish an 8" floating BBZ-1 Silverfish but it was fun watching how you adjusted to your conditions and fished what they wanted instead! Pike seem to really kill those BBZ-1's. LOL
The greatest tip I ever read was about the guy who set World records trolling for giant musky in 100 ft of water in the St. Lawrence river in the summer. He found the big fish like 55 degree water both Musky and Pike. That was interesting as you said 68 degrees was your water temp on the surface. Explains why you only caught small until you went deeper. I now think water temp all the time and regularly fish where very few others are fishing even on a crowded lake. The last guy I showed a picture of the biggest I caught and released on a popular lake told me "You didn't catch that fish in this lake. It only has hammer handle sized fish!" I didn't bother to explain the water temp thing but I did feel sorry for his closed mind. Think of how many people catch a giant pike while jigging in deep water for walleye.
Even when I am keeping a fraction of the fish I catch I use barbless. If you know how to to hook and land a fish you will use barbless. Awesome vid fellas
Thanks for the info. We are limited in the gear we can take up north and being on a lake with no one around we are trying to protect not only the fish but ourselves. getting big pike wrapped up in a net or hooking one of use does way more damage in the overall big picture of things. Thanks again for watching and will try different ways in our next trip.
Pike is delicious. They're nuisance fish most places here in CO - No size min/max, if you catch it, get it out of the water. They really jack up our trout population. I've eaten many a fish-stick sized pike :)
Well, I did and sorry you do not like it. They day started at 7 am and ended at 2 am. SO I had to cut down around 15 hours of film and 2 plus hours of driving to and from 1 spot. If you think this is bad because of the edits, then you should have seen hours upon hours of just driving and boat and zero fish catches. LOL
dont get me wrong i did like the video from the beginning but too many cuts appeared and it was anoying to me i wanted to see you taking out the fish from water continuously . good luck next trips .
Why go through all the scouting,graph study,and riding around only to look at its head and the fans cant see nothing but head? I have seen it here!!! I would hate to see you bass fishing with your new and"unimproved"catch and release tactics smh
nice video. I been doing well this summer with spoons, lipless crainkbaits, and jigs.
I subscribed just because of the way you handled the fish 👍🏻

You are right about the temps :) Thanks for watching
Good point....I fish eel bay on St.Lawrence (in May)big numbers but small on size.
Guys!!! What a great video! I gotta get up north!
Orillia Fishing thanks buddy. Always fun to go fishing

This guy definitely used iMovie
3:56 best saying ever
Thanks buddy. Love looking back at these videos. They get me so jacked up! Thanks for watching.
Good points young-at-heart timers.
Always fun to meet foreign fish.
They don’t wanna talk much anyways
🤙🌵🧀🎣
Thanks for watching!!!!
to scared to grab the pike hihi:D

Thanks for watching buddy. Loved learning that place and may get to go back next year to film again :)
Would be nice to see more of the fish!
In what way?
Those mosquitos look fierce!
Thanks....
Just caught a 7 pound
Fretmoth with my new 6 inch quality line basspro never let me down 🍴
Just curious as to why your motor is constantly running? Did you guys not have a trolling motor with you?
No TM and hate to stop and start the motor up there.
You guys need to come out to Lake Roosevelt, WA - Northern Pike are invasive here and there is a bounty on them right now for $10/head.
That would be really cool. Thanks for watching
Colorado has a $20/head for pike.
Didn’t know Paul Blart was such an avid fisherman!
You Killing Me :)
thebbztv I’m sorry
@@iancampion6979 HAHAHA Don't be, I think it is funny. You are not the only one :) I get that all the time :)
😂😂😂😂
u should never use grabbers like these on pike.. can break the jaw so easy when they flip out.. just land em in the gillgrip, better for the fish.

150 # steel leader???
Lookin like the mall cop
LOL You....Killing me! Kevin James ROCKS ;)
1:08 words I never say
Just grab it if you unhook it in the boat without any tension on the line it is 10x safer and easier
Thanks, will try that next time!
If catch the pike I'm going to eat them. I dont catch and release unless it's under size. Walleye and pike are my favorite fish.

I think pikes may need to be woken up because they lie motionless and wait.
mosquitos from km around smelled manflesh
Yes they do and they are big!
who tf edited this video so many cuts i cant watch it .

I actually got a little sea sick from that during the boat ride
it's the definitive directors cut
You scared to hold the fish or something?
why would you want to? pike are slimy as fuck, get snot all over you and removing the slime hurts them
Thomas Folkes
No shit hold them fuckers i pike fish everyday in north idaho
if you don't show the lures it is a waste of time
The lure is all over this video? What more do you want and will try and work on another video
Why go through all the scouting,graph study,and riding around only to look at its head and the fans cant see nothing but head? I have seen it here!!! I would hate to see you bass fishing with your new and"unimproved"catch and release tactics smh
we got a expert here. fuck off
