  • This session I decided to hit the canal with the dead baits. This is mostly due to the fact that I have a fractured elbow and lure fishing was off the cards. I expected a few pike, but i never expected to catch the legend I've heard stories bout! In the urban canal!

      Should you not have put that pike out of its misery it looked extremely skinny and will likely die of starvation over the next 2 to 3 weeks horrible way to go.

      ​@blackbob3358 you are speaking the truth. I love fishing, but I'm not delusional. It does zero good for each fish to haul them up out of their environment where most can only breathe, handle,dehook,and return. Never mind the ones who get damaged/killed due to the process. It's actually rather cruel. Glad to know I'm not the only one to admit it.

    Pike have always been treated abominably. In match fished waters they were routinely thrown up the bank to die. Gorge baiting was common. They are still killed in trout waters. Hopefully you'll do your bit to educate anglers what magnificent creatures pike are.

    Congrats on the beast croc! Hope your elbow gets better soon. That last fish was in a poor state and well done on educating maybe new anglers to be careful with their catch. I remember not too long after i started fishing i lost my disgorger and though 'meh, i wont need it' sods law i caught a chub deep hooked of about 2lb. I tried forcing various things down its throat to try to unhook it even though i couldnt see the hook and instead of just cutting the line, i pulled it hard and pulled its stomach and its teeth out all at the same time with blood pissing out of everywhere. It made me feel so ashamed and to this day (29 years later) i cringe about how i treated that fish because I didnt know what i was doing and didnt have the right equipment. Now i always have multiple spare disgorgers of different sizes, wire cutters, scissors, forceps and if for some reason i've lost one, i dont go fishing. We owe it to our catch to treat them as well as we can.

Fish with spinal deformity like the one you have caught are actually quite common, some of them are congenital, not caused by human handling. I have seen quite a number of perches with similar twisted spine that survive for years. Wish you a speedy recovery, don’t force too much on your elbow!

    Chris - really big fan of your work. Mate, I've fished through many injuries and illnesses and know how it feels when you just want to get out on the bank; I can also imagine the pressure you feel as one of the most consistent YT fishing creators; but PLEASE take that bent back pike as a sign from the fishing gods that you really should be taking it easy! Your fans and audience aren't going anywhere but you could do so much harm fishing on when that break is in the process of its alignment and healing. It was tough seeing you in pain too bro!
