The bad one
Well-known member
What do members consider a reasonable/unreasonable time before you pull into a pike run?
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 seconds plus
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 seconds plus
How long? as long as it takes to pick the rod up and strike, there should never be any waiting or counting its dangerous for the fish, its bad enough having unavoidable deep hooking without encouraging it.
Indeed it is Terry oops John and when I've had my supper I'll put something up a link, for you all to watch.I think this post was in itself a FISHING EXERCISE??
Well done for bringing the subject up at the start of the traditional pike time of year.
Right guys watch this YouTube Video YouTube at 6 mins 10 sec he shows you the bait, sprat, and hooking set up, a single VB double hook. At 9 mins 55 secs he tells the audience a pike lifted his bait he then doesn't strike into the fish until 10 mins 37 secs.
That's 42 seconds he waits before he strikes at the fish. The fish he shows you he's unhooking in the vid is smaller with different markings and isn't the same fish he holds up for the camera, which is much larger. Now I wounder why he uses a different fish and shot for unhooking?
It saddens me to have to say this guy is a member of my club (for now) and is fishing a club length on the Ribble and posting videos to all anglers across the world of his disrespectful way of fishing.
