1st Pike

Post by Sparks73 »

I went down the local canal yesterday afternoon with my mate, hoping for a perch or two (both for the 1st time) he caught a small Zander, I caught my 1st Pike! It was sizable about three foot in length, unfortantly we both lacked the experiance or confidence to handle it. I managed to remove the hook, but would of loved a picture! Any advice? I have been carp fishing for years and caught fish to over 30lb... :wave:

Great and well done for releasing it safely.
Now you need someone to show you how to handle Pike correctly so join the PAC.

For a 3footer and your first I will give you 15lb. :handshake:



With respect, you haven't caught carp, they have caught you!

Why did you not take a picture?.Treat them with at LEAST the same respect as you did the carp,if not more so,don't keep them out of the water anywhere the time most carp are kept out of the water,well done with the pikeboy,first pike and it was a double,thats a result.
Nothing wrong with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Its everyone else.
