New Forgotten Pond Holds Massive PIKE!

A good pair of loppers or even secateurs would be a good idea.

What a catch!
That I only catch in my wet dreams!😉
Congrats! Keep on uploading your fishing experience.
Thanks!

nice

Stunning outcome from an unknown pond, well done. The rain doesn't spoil our fishing for us Northerner's we're not made of Sugar👍😷👍

Stunning fish mate well done 👏

I know exactly where this is

Nice big pike Ginger. I'll ask you the same question that I've asked a couple of other YT anglers and didn't get reply's. What happens to all the lost plastic lures and bits ( like the tail of your blue shad ) when you don't get them back? Hmm?? Did that lovely Pike eat it and what is it going to do to the fish's body? We, as fishermen and conservationists want to keep our waterways cleaner and more productive than before and what are you all still doing?? Deliberately throwing plastic into the water?? 🤔 I don't own any plastic lures and refuse to use them. I've only ever used natural bait, polished metal spoons, wooden minnows ( I even worry about the paint flakes coming off them ) and carbon steel hooks. Hand carved wooden lures with no paint still catch good fish if they are presented well and have natural action. And forget about turbid water being no good for lures. Fish have lateral lines so they can 'see and feel' vibrations in the water. Cheers from downunda. :)

Hidden ponds are the best for all fishing I used to fish a few of them with my sister and two friends when we were kids

There was one lake it was hidden in woods in the middle of a farm and only a handful of people knew about it, it had all sorts in it tench perch roach rudd pike including a huge monster that we'd often see take birds and a big chub that was under a load of tree roots no one could ever catch no carp back then though
Now it's owned by a syndicate and full of big carp
It was an old chalk pit reportedly that filled overnight from a spring legend had it a train was still in the bottom it was very deep

Another great pond was one beside a road on a green not run by anyone it was full of golden orfe, crucian carp crosses of the two and the odd golden tench all that used to fight like hell

I do not want you to take this the wrong way because I do not mean it in a mean way but you talk so fast I can’t understand a word you’re saying or about the stuff you’re talking about and I am an avid fisherman

What size jig heads was they? On what size bait roughly?

Always the forgotten pond the has the monsters init

That fish was bloody terrifying 🐠

The reason I never fish light gear is incase I do hook a huge bass, pike or state record....trust me your not landing a 12 lbs fish unless you got atleast 10 lbs line lol

🌲🍀🐾🌾🌎🎣🏆👏🥇🐾🍀🌲.
🌲🍀I fish places like this as often as I can (deep, cool streams with lots of grass too!) they're always productive 😉🍀🌲.

So many ways to cook them.

Nice one man.

‘Don’t tell him your name Pike!’

Someone get the lad sorted with some waders and a waterproof coat 😂

Drenched wet through and I don’t care 😂 sign of a good day fishing

have u fished rochdale canal near middleton/steakhill

What are the legalities of fishing waters like that? I'd assume you need landowners permission?

you are awesome buddy.... now that is what you call fishing....

How cold do you usually fish your topwater on the other side of the pond? They get real big in some small water over there! Was there a creek leading to it? Great video!

BRO!! WHEN YOU ARE FISHING FROM SPOTS THAT ARE CONGESTED WIYH OVERGROWTH THAT HAS NO ROOM TO PROPERLY CAST,, you always bring a brush rod only a foot long w micro reel. If not do this trick!! It works best with open Bell wheels though but you hold the line with one finger on the rod grab the back hook on the curve pull and launch like a slingshot and release you'd be surprised yourself how far it'll throw any size lure give it a try the flex of the rod will actually launch really nicely

Great job. I love the way you let them rest up before releasing.

We call pike slough ( swamp) sharks. Good aggressive fighters but they wipe out all other fish from the slough.

Brings back fond memories of my youth, when my friends and I would go fishing for pike in a beaver pond close to my home. They were never this big, but they were abundant. Mom never let us bring them home. They were not that good eating; boney and tasted like mud. But we enjoyed our selves, and it was a Damm site better than being glued to some silly video game.

So you come by and mess with them for the fun of it?

I wish that i could find new forgotten pond, i know one and got 9.6kg pike in 2 days and many smaller ones

A new forgotten pond!!!. Do fisherman have short memories in that part of the world??

TO PZW

GREAT JOB👏🏻👍🏼 amazing pike!!! 👋 🇮🇹

Never caught a Pike, awesome video.

Where is that your fishing ?

That's why NOTHING in that bond will ever servive. But I love fish in to:)

Seth Rogen goes fishing.

JV24+4CX Doncaster put this in Google maps, I would love to see you fish this place, caught some good pike in here when I was a young un it used to be run by international harvesters but I don’t think anyone has run it for the last 30years or so, I had a walk round a few months ago but It was totally overgrown.

M A S S I V E! I wish there were such ponds near me. Good job you thought about bringing strong braid!

Should be using a v style spinner bait with an oversized colorado blade , twist tail on the hook , then trailer hook with another grub twist tail. Mr. Twister tab tails drive em nuts.

Where is this spot again?

Should come up to Northern 🇨🇦 , 50 inch Pike are pretty easy to catch and lots of them!!!

Mate you're a true sportsman. Your respect for the fish puts other so-called anglers to shame.

That pond looks very forgotten, some good fishing there in snags and stormy weather 👍🏼

I'm surprised that such good sized fish surrender so quickly. Just a couple of minutes and they are in. They look strong but seem to have little endurance. Wonderful fun just the same.

I have been a game angler all my life mainly because the thought of putting my hands near a Pikes mouth scares the crap out off me so I take my hat off to you for your angling skills and tight lines.

How about we crowdfund him a raincoat, folks?

Do you try and carry your rod behind you. I snapped a bute of my Hardy cane pike rod. Just the top. It will cost more to replace a new top secdion but it's a bute rod so yip I will get it fixed. I'm old school cane and steal brass even wood reels..

Wow

Take a hatchet and cut some openings to use. What a day that was!

Where is this pond? looks great
