I’ve caught more big pike fishing swimbaits than any other lure! On this trip I’m in the kayak chasing northern pike on what might be one of the last open water adventures of the year before winter weather moves in and the lakes start freezing over. The water was cold and the fishing was tough but hard work paid off with a few big bites!

What depth do you normally catch them with swim bait or top water bait?
Another awesome video well done some really nice fish
Your videos are awesome you voice is so calm and soothing have a great day
No leader ?
bassx mh rod. Isn't that a little light? The rod description says it is good for up to 1oz baits.
good pike. were are you? u.s or canada where i'm from
I can't watch any more of your vidoes…. considering I don't catch any fish at all, and use the same lures, the same techniques, the same etc……. Living in the part of the country where wildlife thrives, it's depressing to live where I do.
What type of kayak is that
Wow your videos are awesome very entertaining $$$man
Seems like they just kept getting bigger, another great video💪🏻
His videos just flat out relax the hell out of me. Makes me want pack mother in the truck and move to North Dakota. Great fishing and even greater videos. Thank you.
Hey, I’m new to pike fishing. What’s this ‘peak time’ you mentioned a few times? 🤔 awesome videos, I’ve learnt a lot from you already 😁👌
Beautiful fish.
What lake is this? I live in ND and appreciate knowing good fishing spots for shore or kayak. Thanks.
So has this become your top Pike lure? What are your top three (in order) Pike lures and in what brand, pattern or color? Ex. "8' swim bait in pike pattern from Michał in Poland" or even just "3/4 oz white spinner bait" etc.
Even the softest voice can't disguise the adrenaline rush. The shaky hands revealed it 😉. Nice video as always 😊👍
I want to catch a pike so badly. Stumbling upon your channel is a blessing. Love the videos. Great commentary. Nothing flashy. Just fishing. Will keep you updated. I've gotten a ton of lures and getting the correct poles and reels.
Savage gear swim & jerk is the only baits i use for pike fishing, its rhe best baits.. like ever ..😎🙌
Looking at Savage Baits online…it's not giving me an option to buy? Is there site under construction? Thx!
That lure looks rediculously good! 🥳
The Gospel of John, when you're ready, friend.❤️
Great video! Beautiful sunset!
Hands down best, realest and most enjoyable fishing content. No unnecessary yelling or fussing.
09.31 I really hope I catch a big Pike today…….boom straight away a nice pike…..you never skunk (blank) think I'm guna buy one of those Savage Gear Swimbaits for sure 😎 tight lines man 🎣🐊😎💯🤟
You caught a nice stickerel
What do you use for a leader?
Any tips on casting those bigger swim baits ? Your making your casts look effortless,,, I bought two of those baits and they seem to cast like crap,,, wind catchers if you know what I’m saying . Thank you.

I love watching these videos you have the most relaxing voice helps me doze off to sleep 😂 watching from Ireland 🇮🇪
I can see in your specifications that you use a rod St Croix Bass X 6´6´´to cast a lure Savage Gear 4 Play 8´´. This puzzles me since the lure weight range for that rod is 3/8-1 oz. and you are casting a lure that weighs …2.3 oz! I would like to know if you feel totally comfortable casting that big weight with that particular rod or, on the contrary, have a feeling that it might break apart at any moment if you impart only just a little excess of power in your casting.
Finally I would like to say that you are among my favourite fishing youtuber if not my favourite at all. As a matter of fact it has been you who hooked me into swimbait fishing!!!
Best regards from Spain.
👍🔥🤙🏻
hi from Montreal Canada man I enjoy your videos to the point that I just bought a kayak any advices for me before the season starts? thank you ✌🏾
If Bob Ross was a fisherman.
I wish you were my brother. You’d be a great fishing partner too. Regards, Cam, from Ontario eh?!
You are the Bob Ross of fishing. Keep doin the damn thang!
My favourite fishing YouTuber , love the calmness and sense of humour. Watching from Australia
good pike
I watch your videos when I can’t go fishing because they’re so calm and cool without cuts and music… it’s like we’re just chillin on a boat. Don’t ever change your format!
Wow that’s rad
Also, I’d love to see you land one of these pigs on the fly rod
Someone else referred to you as the “Bob Ross of fishing”. I would LOVE to see you do a video where every time you show your face, you’re wearing a Bob Ross wig, and never mention it and act like it’s just not there.
we call them tree fish in kentucky TREE POUNDERS LOL
How much does that swimbait weight?
Great channel. Love your style
Is this stump lake?
wouldn't you rather have a bit of sport in reeling them in with monofilament rather than just winching them in with 30lb line? I use 6lb monofilament and have caught anywhere between 5 -15 lb pike at my spot, a little pond along side the river than runs through town. It just seems more sporting to give them a chance to run and fight (within reason).
What size net is that? I see its the Ozark Trail brand but is it 15" deep or 30"?
How do you have your GoPro and fish finder mounted ? I want to get a fish finder for my kayak and still want to mount go pro right there too .
