Brilliant video. Been looking for canals near fife
Spitting tacks! 😂 decent pike too
What a fantastic video welcome to my world superb showing snagged bro how it’s done 😅 Top notch 👍🏼🍻👊🏼
Ahaha “set the hook”!!!
Serious question, you sound English….why is your name on CZcams the Scottish piker ?
Ahaha I am from Scotland just don’t have the accent. Just spend the summers down south and was at school here.
Another crackin video 👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks again!
Good Tench.Nice to see you trying something new and outside your comfort zone. I do a little Tench fishing myself, managed one of 6lb last week. Not been out spinning for the Pike yet though (I know, shame on me) Thanks for the video, appreciate the effort that goes into them. Tight lines bud👍🏴
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback as a lot of effort goes in to making them. 6lb tench is a nice fish! Well done. A lot of fun watching the float slide away…
Thank you for visiting my wonderful country 🏴 I’m glad you didn’t leave empty handed. Tight lines 🎣
@thescottishpiker are you based in Taunton? I have a parcel for The Scottish Piker in Taunton and want to get it to them.
Yes!!! What are the chances of this! I just had some stuff sent through evri that got sent to the wrong address. How many packages do you have? I’ve had two deliveries go missing in the last week. My email if gregallfind@icloud.com if you don’t mind dropping me a message.
Done 😊
Cracking fish there bud. Were you on the kayak with lures? Could I be bold and ask what kind/size of lure. Thanks for the video.👍🏴
Giant pig shad mate🙌🏻 definitely my go to atm.
Fantastic short bro what a fish superb 👍🏼
Well done for sticking out the weather boys ,fair play , was wondering what is the underwater camera you are using as we are thinking of getting one , cheers and tight lines 🎣🎣🤞🤞
Cheers bud! I use a water wolf camera which goes in the line and then just a go pro for the release shots and anything else👍🏻
@@thescottishpiker2010 cheers mate , tight lines 🎣🎣
Waw,I didn't know this. You really do learn something new every day. Thanks for this video .Tight lines bud 👍🏴
That is rare and a nice fish on a lure well done 👍🏼🎣👊🏼
We’ve all lost big fish and it hurts badly I’m with you bro 🍻👊🏼🎣👍🏼
That’s a beautiful pike my friend well done Cracking video top notch 👍🏼🎣🍻
Not the first video I've seen a Pike take the camera . Maybe you should put a treble hook on the camera next time 🤣 Thanks for the video, keep them coming bud 👍🏴
Actually inside the pike’s mouth What incredible footage Top notch 👍🏼🎣👍🏼
We’re are you fishing good fishing but know use if you don’t know were to go
Amazing!!!!! Any dead baiting tips? I keep hooking into pike but they get off?
Part of the game unfortunately mate. I keep doing the same tbh. Main things I would say are striking quickly while the fish is still moving away so that you pull the hooks into the corner of the mouth and make sure that you are using sharp hooks. Other than that it’s just luck mate.
@@thescottishpiker2010 thanks mate! Thought I was doing something wrong but aye. That’s reassuring, thank you 😊
Another excellent video. Done some really nasty weather myself this year Beautiful fish there sir 👋. I managed my pb at the end of February this year. 20lb 2oz 👌 . Wish I was able to share pic with you. Anyway, looking forward to your next video. Tight lines buddy 👍
It does get the heart racing when that alarm goes off. How stable is the savage gear canoe I noticed you could stand up on it? How many pieces of fishing gear went overboard? Nice fish in the end, it was worth the wait and persistence. 👍👍
Ahaha yeah I even get twitchy at home if hear something similar. It’s actually super stable. I’ve been out in some fairly rough conditions and it’s fine. Not lost anything yet either which is a bonus considering how much I cram on.
Amazing video!!
Great break down of pike care Gabriel, loving the channel keep them coming bud 🐊⭐🐊
New tae the channel😉 Great vids neebz!! A like your style n attitude towards these crackin fish... maybe c ye 1 day oan ra bank somewhere🏴✌️🎣
G I’m not convinced of your theory of water temperatures. Lochs, in winter, have the warmest water at the deepest parts (4*C). That’s why ice forms on the surface. Pike settle in these deep waters because the temp. Is stable. Winter sunshine isn’t going to heat the surface of the water enough in a day to make a difference. A phenomenon called turnaround where denser colder water sinks aerates the loch in the winter. In the summer turnaround doesn’t happen as much so the lower depths don’t have as much oxygen. I reckon your success at the mouth of the stream is more likely to be the food chain. Food for smaller fish is being washed down the burn so they congregate there. Where there’s bait fish there is predators. When spring arrives everything thaws out and surface water temperatures rise………..the bottom of the loch is still 4*C. Only in the height of and late summer will the bottom of a loch rise above this………deeper lochs are very unlikely to change as it is so deep. Even if a shallow loch was to freeze over it would be highly unlikely that the bottom layer freeze.
That was fantastic Thumbs up 👍🏼
Great wee video, well done 👏
Superb video pal Your fish care is the best I’ve seen on you tube Thumbs up 👍🏼
Really good edit , well played another sub .
Which lock you on mate ? Great vid 🎣👍
Great content. A nice Pike, scenery.. good editing and shots 👌 As a pike angler on the south coast, I'd love to fish those loch's. Keep it up. 👍
Thank you! You should if you get the chance. Completely different kind of fishing!
Cracking fish. This is what it's all about. Been out in some horrific weather myself this season and not had much luck (small jacks up to 7lb) but you just have to keep going. Really enjoy your videos and appreciate the effort involved. Tight lines bro.👋👍🏴
Cheers mate! Always a chance of a big one this time of year. Just gotta stick it out!
Great video G. Time consuming but well worth it. Easy access to that loch. I fished exactly where you set up and was plagued with eels. I suspect that’s what took the lamprey at the end. I had a mackerel stripped to the bones on one trip and an eel wrapped round my trace that took 20 minutes to get free. Keep the videos coming.
Yeah they’re a pest mate. That’s why I use lamprey and eel now. That last one was definitely a decent pike as there’s were teeth marks along 6”s of the bait but been pestered by them before.
10 out of 10 for the effort you put into your fishing, filming and editing 👏👏 really enjoying your films, thanks 👍🏻😁
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback🙌🏻
Another nice video and cracking pike!🐊 Looking forward to the next one 👍🎣
Lovely pike bro keep up the good work 🎣
Set your clutch for a good fighting drag, and leave it alone, let the rod do the work.
Im with you on this. I see people constantly doing it. Fishing tackle manafactures spet a lot of money developing drags. Fix it once in the morning and let it alone. I cringe when i see people playing a fish and they a constantly moving their drag, how do they know how tight they have tightened it.
Sorry, but I was cringing watching the unhooking. 'A quick tug, and the hooks will come easily' you say. You sped the video up in places because it took so long. One time you were hung up in the landing net. Your main problem is trebles hooks. Singles would come out easier and the video would look far better. It's also better to unhook a pike with it laying on it's side. Holding it up will only induce the pike to thrash about more as shown. And no one in their right mind would hold a trace in their mouth to keep it taught when there's a possibility of the pike having a thrash about. Sorry, but it didn't look easy for newcomers to the sport at all.
Firstly thank you for you for your comment. When I sped up the clip that’s is correct as yes it did take a while to find the correct angle but once I did they came out easily which was my point. Rather take your time than yank hooks out causing damage and by having the fish in the water you give yourself more time. As a beginner I think keeping the fish in the water it is far safer as if you do drop the fish or it wriggles free then it won’t be damaged. It is also far less likely to get caught up in the net despite what you say as long as you have a deep landing net. If you listened to the video you would here that I say that holding the trace in your mouth is a last resort if you are on your own. Do you suggest leaving hooks in the fish instead? Because that is the only way of pulling the hooks out of the fishes stomach in the worst case scenario.

Hi, pike fishing has to be the most difficult of all angling, and we all have different ideas on how best to deal with the catch. I'd never leave hooks in. As I use singles, if it happens to gut hook, it really is a piece of p*ss to get them out. Any type of unhooking, scissors, wherever. When alone, you can use tension of your rod and line. Lay the rod parallel with the pike in front of you with the reel in reach. Use 2 tent/brollie or banksticks, one behind the reel where it meets the rod, another on the opposite side near the butt end. This should hold the rod in place. Tighten line with reel, then slide pike backwards on the mat to get the desired tension. Using a mat makes life a lot easier. With care you can lift a gill cover as it lays there and get to the hook/s with forceps through the gaps in the gills. It's like doing surgery, but I've found that it's the best way. Holding a pike up by the gills is not good practice anyway, yet everyone does it because they think it's what you do with pike. If you do have to do it your way, I'd suggest looping an elastic band around the trace real tight and hold that in your mouth if you want to keep your teeth in one piece. We know these pike can flick their head in a flash. Better safe than sorry. Still at the end of the day, we're all trying to help each other for the best of the pike. Good luck with your piking ... and ... try at least one rod on singles. You may be surprised. Tight lines.
hi im wanting to come up and pike fish loch lomond but wouldnt know were to start with the place were are the decent places to set up
If you haven’t fished it before I’d get in touch with Stuart at FISHX. Say you found him through my video and he will look after you. No one better in Scotland.
Great video big man! Whata the brand of kayak you have there? Looks a smart set up 👊
It’s a savage gear high rider mate. I’ve actually got a second one for sale if you are interested?
Cracking video 👍
Fantastic video
Great to see that you care so much about the welfare of the fish. 👏👍

Cracking video bud, love your interest in the sport,you are obsessed like many of us brilliant to see, keep them coming, lovely pike bye the way 🎣🐊👍
All spawned out. Salmon have a tough life. Travel miles and miles.
I may be wrong but to me the fish looks spent from spawning.
Your correct mate , end of its life circle 👍🎣🎣
