Fly Fishing for PIKE in a Trout Stream. My HEAVIEST Pike Ever!
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 05. 2019
- I knew there were good pike in that stream, but what happened that day was just insane! My heaviest pike ever with 12.07kg!
This little stream is small, and most fishing is done from the banks.
But to properly fight larger fish, I sometimes enter the water, so the fish don't cut me off in the roots of trees and in the branches of overhanging bushes... but this specific spot had a deep riffle running just in front of me.
Unfortunately I learned that the hard way, when I tried to net the pike for the first time and suddenly felt no ground below me :-)
Anyway, crazy fight, heart pumping, but a happy angler in the end!

Congratulations from Canada on a fight well fought - that was a slugfest, and it could easily have hung you up on the snags in that run. European pike are considerably fatter than ours, and this one was a bruiser. Love it when you have to go in after them, once you are swimming you are committed haha.
HahahHaha, yes. You are definitely a normal big fish guy. Your reaction and amazement to land this creature is a mirror of the way I am. Wow buddy, what an excellent job.
Never seen someone fly fish for Northern pike before. Your the first I’ve ever seen and you did a great job!!!!
This just came up in my recommendation, very glad I watched it... what a fish bro!
Many thanks!
Nice fish and recovery. Pike are always great to hook you right them three times normally. The psych , the show , and the beaten surrender. Your ability to recover from the first landing attempt was awesome line directional steering management was top notch maintaining a relentless hook set all the way through. Bravo top notch film. Your experience shows!
YOU'R'E ENJOYING THE THRILL OF A LIFE TIME, ON SUCH A SMALL WATERWAY. I WAS STATIONED IN HANAU, IN THE EARLY 70'S, AND WONDER IF YOU HAVE EVER FISHED THE MAIN RIVER. KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
michael sandrey many thanks! So cool you were stationed in Germany! Heard many good stories about the US soldiers back then. I haven’t fished the Main River yet, but my brother lives in that region. He does catch very nice zander (walleye) and asp there.
Wow that's the beast man! Well done!!
Great fish!! An epic fight for sure especially when the camera went underwater and so did you!! Looking forward to more pike info in your videos.
A pike used to eating trouts, delicious dishes swaying limply just over his head, for sure usually grows up rapidly. Thanks for providing us with such a breathtaking video ! Happy man !!
The happiest man alive!!! You can tell by its proportions that it is not a really old fish, but one that grew fast, as you said! For a pike of that size, the head is not really big.
@@troutfishinggermany9186 Nevertheless : a wonderful catch.
A true fisherman!! Keep up the good work bud!! Looking forward to Future videos
Might be the single best fishing video I've ever watched.
Man is a masterpiece! You are awesome!!
Nice
Wow... that was worth seeing right there! Gorgeous pike there bud. Congrats!
Thank you, it truely was an extraordinary experience... and I am so glad I was able to record it!
Knowing what you're in for is half the battle. You gotta be prepared for a fish like that! Well done!!
Great fish and I am glad for you that you geared up sufficiently to keep it out of those several log jams it was trying to retreat into! Great fish! Better fight! Great editing. Had me on the edge of my seat.
Brian Peace Thank you sir! 🙏
Awesome video! Your excitement is palpable!
My wife could only hear the video and asked what on earth i was watching xD. Nice catch!
My wife thought i was watching porn....
in a way that *is* porn... XD
arno nabuurs Bahaha my wife was like what is going on with that man.
Ahahahha dude, I was just making crazy noises watching this....spot on
@@yron100 Why is he a idiot? That's a monster fish to wrangle in on a fly rod. Most people would be pretty excited.
I was just going to write same thing
I can’t imagine how fun that must have been to fight that nice pike on a fly rod
I will remember this one for my entire life! Hope you will have the same luck one day!
Troutfishing Germany I hope so too that would be a dream come true
@@stomatt22 it was 43in long and weight 12.07 kilos which translates to 26.6 lbs.
Pike: "why is there boss music playing"
@@troutfishinggermany9186 hello from Canada my friend 😉 I am a new subscriber and yesterday I catch some sheep heads and sucker fish with my doggo Munchie 💪🤠 can't wait to see a new fishing video from you 😬🚬
Whoa! You went for it and deserved every bit of that adrenaline rush.
🌲🍀🐾🎣Yeah Man, That's What I'm Talking About! I fish small streams with spinner baits all the time for Smallmouth Bass & Pike in the U.S. midwest, and often I have to go in (or fall in) to the water to land a pike. That's just the way it "is". So worth it though! That's the HEART"💗" POUNDING EXCITEMENT that "Lures" me to this kind of fishing😉🎣🐾🍀🌲.
WHAT A CATCH BRO!!!!! you really went all in to land that guy!!! Way to go!!!!!
This is easily my favourite Pike Video on CZcams. Well done! What a beautiful fish!
This is so nice, thank you!!!
Troutfishing Germany You’re welcome!
Great to see a New Zealand made landing net working for you. Very pleased we don’t have Pike here wrecking the trout fishing.
But if it weren't for the eels, you'd have overpopulations of invasive teeny weeny rainbows....
....and besides, a bunch of native fishes of NZ are extirpated by the oversized trouts.
My first thought: "That thing is a fatty." Five seconds later... "That is, quite simply, and extremely fat pike."
Gotta give it to ya ...jumping in the water like that , bloody awesome mate! O and nice fish too..
Great vid and amazing catch! Thank you for sharing.
From one fly fisherman to another. That is what it is, a pleasure. Here where I live in East Kentucky there are lakes and streams with big muskellunge living in them. I’m going to give it a shot this year. The rod I will be using is one I wrapped 20 years ago.It is a 11wt. Used it one time. Thanks for the video and tight lines.
I see your video in the youtube recommendations....well done google, this guy makes my day. Awesome action footage, the casting, the fight, the netting,....I've enjoyed everything. Please keep on the gopro with the fishing stuff.
Josetxo Roncal many thanks for the kind words! I have a lot more footage and will be editing it soon! More videos to come, hope you will like them too!
Brilliant video and well done on the pike!!
Epic fight, reminded me of A River Runs Through It. cheers from Chicago.
I love Pike and that’s a Great one! Congratulations! Thanks for sharing. I will be in Germany later this year and hope to get some time on the water.
Shawn Dobson many thanks. If you are in Southern Germany you are welcome to contact me through Facebook or email if you need any help or if you would like to join me for a day fishing 👍
Awesome ! Great fish ! Great vid ! Thanx for sharing
Great fish. Congrats!
What a great footage. Nice catch, beautiful fish, well done. Thanks for sharing it.
ykzcohan many thanks my friend!
Big animal! It's amazing that you were able to keep him out of the trees. Well done.
Dan Brunski well to keep him from disappearing into the roots of the trees it also needs some luck. I have lost pikes in the botanics in the past, so i learned from that, that I have to apply a decent amount of pressure, have not fear, and believe in the tackle! If you chose leader and hook wisely, it shouldn’t fail!
Amazing video,, Amazing pike,, well done .....😁👍👍
Like the tense music at the start, & then the fish on metal riff. Fell for it hook, line, & sinker.
What a beast! Cathing pike on a fly looks very hard and ejoyable!
Thank you. Excellent videos! Super content.
That strike was amazing
That was insane. Bravo Sir
Awesome video👍. I was waiting for some Rammstein to start when you set the hook😀. Your net was larger than I thought...was thinking " He brought a knife to a gun fight".
Greetings from Canada, that’s what pike fishing is all about
Hello my Canadian friend 😉 I catch sheep heads and sucker fish yesterday 💪🤠 have a great day and be safe 😬🚬
Great job fighting this pike! Congratulations!!
Must have been quite a buzz getting a huge river fish on the fly.you handled it really well.
a real fly fisherman's thrill once connected to a beast with complicated terrain....loved the part when you slipped under...pike almost in (a normal but far too small in this case) net...than watched the monster passing downstream...good decision to let her go a bit down and later in muddied cloud....probably helping....btw, how much water did you get in waders (seems jacket was snug enough not to get too much)....grrrrreat dynamic video 👌
Boris Hrasovec 😂 yes my waders took a little water but when you are connected to a fish you feel no cold. The net was definitely too small! Many thanks for the detailed comment my friend!
Veeeeery nice pike! I can't imagine how much fun you must have when you fight vs an sooo nice Pike on a flying rood👍🔝. Very nice video pls more of them!
Julius 123 thank you! I am currently editing another video, hope you will like it!
a very good flay fishing,,,streikk...👍👍👍👍
Awesome stuff!!!
Very nice pike man!!!!! Crazy to see these wild monsters! Congratulations
Excellent capture and the fight of the two of film I also suffered greetings from Perú 💪🎣👌👍
PESCA ACTIVA wow, thanks for your greetings from the other side of the world! Hope you are doing well and fishing is still possible in the current situation!?
well done ,real trophy pike !!
Congratulations, what a fish and what a fight 👌
Cracking pike! Never seen one that big in a small stream like that. Great job getting it into the net!
Me too! I had caught fish up to 7 or 8 kilo in this stream, but never such a beast! Had I known, I would have taken a bigger net for sure!
Loved watching it all come together!! Excellent fight, and on top of that, excellent handling of the fish. Congrats.
That pike is dead. It's illegal to release fish once caught in Germany
Daniel Driver no it is not forbidden. It depends on the size of the fish and the regulations for that specific water. C&R on a general scale is forbidden, but releasing single fish is okay.
Beautiful fishing!
Beautiful pike!! Well done 👍
Wow what a pike..absolute stunner. Liked and subscribed👍 very enjoyable video.
Андрей! Поздравляю!!! Зачетный трофей!!!
Absolutely amazing fish, on the fly even.
Dude you totally hooked me with this video!! Props !! Totally wicked!!
Thanks my friend, glad you liked it. That day, everything came perfectly together - and i am so happy that I was able to capture it all on my GoPro.
Magnificent footage thank you
Watching this I can just imagine the mess I'd get myself in! Looks great fun though!
Awesome video. Great ambiance with the music. Totally re-enforces my idea of a German with “will weigh it again with my proper scale”.
Brandon Bradley we are what we are 😂
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful Fishing spot and nice fishing
that was dope bro, thanks for sharing great fight
Great fish! Great music too.
What a fish! Congratulations 👍🏻
Flying fishing for pike seen it all now .. Though bear in mind i've never seen anyone use that method not even the late n great John Wilson RIP .
Like all things in life you learn something new everyday ...
@Mark Turnbull TBH The Episodes i watched back then on tv .. i never saw him do that ..
@Mark Turnbull he done an episode on chew valley and was on a boat with john horsey catching pike on the fly
Excellent job.
Superb video!
Awesome solo catch, and great video with the suspenseful music!
Dave C many thanks for your kind words, glad you liked it!
Buddy, youre my hero jumped in that water like a man
Man what a pike! Well done mate! Good video.
Many thanks Dennis!
Wow what an amazing catch and great job filming it as you did it! Greetings from the great lakes state of Michigan in the United States where fishing is a way of life
Gary Hudgins thanks mate, lots of water in your area, must be paradise!
Amazing!! Well done Mate!
tiger major many thanks 🙏. New video is coming soon!
Wow nice fishing bro

Amazing!!! 😍
That is an Amazing Pike. Yessirrr
Nice work...fish on
Awesome catch mate 👍🏼 must feel amazing having a beast like that on a fly rod. Quick question what is the make of that fishing net you are using with the built in scales?
jordan Randall thanks mate! The net is a McLean wading net, i have several of these. very solid quality, love them.
Brilliant thanks mate, tight lines and stay safe 👍🏼🎣
Great! Never seen before! Greets from bavaria!

Matthew McCollumn many thanks! Will do my best to produce more videos in the months to come!
Epic catch!
Helll fuckinnnng yeaaahhhh!!!!!
That is incredible
There is absolutely nothing more fun than big pike in a small stream, I just wish pike didnt get such a bad rap. Everyone in my area hates them because they think they “eat all the trout.“
Rod Belding same here! I believe that pike in a river help to keep the trout population healthy, by eating weak and sickly fish. In a stream with some current the healthy fish will always be able to escape as the pike does not like the fast water.
@@troutfishinggermany9186 I totally agree. They have a furious reputation, even tho the big predators regulate and matter as much as smaller fish in streams. Its a basic biological principle. If the Pike would "eat all the trout", they had nothing more to eat, which would ultimatly result in a decrease of pike and in increase of trout. Trout are no idiots and are specialized camouflage hunter that know how to hide properly. U´ll find them shooting out of spots u´d never expect or see them in the first place. They adapt very well and are able to survive even in streams with big pike.
Phil ́s Catch and Cook Germany Amen to that! Agree 100%!
@@feralphil1198 Isn't this a mute point, as catch and release fishing is illegal in Germany (it stresses the fish, and fish have feelings and we don't want to torture them)?
@@sweynforkbeard8857 its kind of a grey zone justicewise in germany. There is an article ( Article 17) in the animal protection law paper saying that u should not be hurting any vertebrate unless you have serious reason to ( for example eating purpose etc.) Following that article you should not be practicing catch and release. It is also regulated differently in different States in Germany. So you have to inform yourself about the regional laws. Feelingwise they have been mate studies on fish a couple of times arguing about the actualy sense of "pain" a fish can "feel" or not. Nocireceptors, which you find in mammal brains, are strongl linked to the sensation of pain in higher vertebrates. Those receptors we dont find in the fish brain, even if so, as in 20 years of being a fisherman, I never saw a fish "enjoy" getting caught. They truely feel stress and therefore I dislike such simplified studies making points where there is none. I think you should always be looking on how u treat animals and make an ethical judgment for yourself, while respecting laws, but also making sure u don´t let the fish suffer unnessecarily.
Amazing video and a beast of a fish!!
Thank you! Yes this fish was truely amazing, and somehow my thirst for pike fishing died down a bit after catching this one... can't get much better I guess.
My mother was about to go to work when you started to sigh, she was like 'wait I haven't left yet'
Dominik Klaić 😂 sorry for getting you in trouble!
Well played Sir....
Very nice fish man gratz! Did a bit laugh once u fall in, been there too:D:D I do fly fishing for pike too, i find it way more effective than spinners and woblers:) My biggest was just over 10kg so far:) Looking froward for more videos. Subbed! Tight lines man....
Awesome Fishing! Fantastic Pike. Congratulations.👌🍀
Thank you!
Wow that's a huge pike 😲 I could understand why you were loosing your breath that's real excitement...🎣🏆
Bass King yes i sometimes wonder what I had done, had I lost this fish...? Probably would have needed to see a psychiatrist 🤯
Nice technik.. Beautifull to see. Amazing strike.. Fly fishing. I like its.. 👍
nice spot broo amazing ..
always success
