The last thing we expected we when headed out on the last weekend of the season was to catch and record our biggest fish yet!

And thank the lord I managed to bring her in with our tiny, little net lol!

I am the idiot who tried to reach in there. When Jeff told me he found his pliers I wasn't very impressed.

First time I've actually done something that dumb before, haha.

I'll have you know Jeff spent the next couple hours fishing in his boxers after wading into the water to grab that pike.

It was a balmy +4 with a stiff breeze, needless to say nobody can question Jeffs commitment to landing fish!

Entertaining video. I bet you guys might be purchasing a bigger net in the future ... lol.... that net is for minnows, not pike of that size.

Great video and great catch!
Reminds me of when I began fishing and bought a big net 'to be prepared'. I was fishing a lake with a friend and two older guys in a boat close by were mocking me for the big net. Not even five minutes later one of them had a bite that nearly sent his rod flying, 15 minutes later they had a monster pike next to their boat and a net about your size. They were happy when I rowed over to give them my net to get it out, 105cm and nearly 19 kgs.
Net can't be too big

Excellent videos. I enjoy watching them. I'm just curious what brand and type of line you are using on your baitcaster. I have an older one I am thinking about loading up with line and trying in the Spring. Every time I try mono line, I seem to spend more time untangling than I do fishing.. Thanks

I have 15 pound test Stren flourocast on one of my baitcasters and 8 pound on another.

It's fairly inexpensive line that seems to work well for me

But any decent flourocarbon should work fine

Avoiding a birdsnest is all about practice and knowing how to best adjust your brakes to prevent it from happening

Braid is a lot nicer in baitcasters imo. 20-30 lb minimum and using a smooth line like power pro super slick will increase your distance substantially although regular rougher braids will still cast farther then mono/fluoro.
