My PB is 14,6. Caught on 6lb monofil while targeting Tench with worms. Btw, Tom and Sean/Shaun I've worked out how to remember who is who. Too tall Tom and So short Sean/Shaun. Love you chaps. Big ❤

Nah they weren't doubles though. All yours are doubles.
I agree with the points about the decline of big pike but I think there’s another reason. The amount of lakes that have been netter to remove small fish, to allow carp to grow quicker has to play its part. Same goes for commercial match fishing venues, they don’t want pike eating their stock.

Once upon a time, all the biggest pike came from river systems. Undoubtedly carp fishing has had an effect on stillwaters but there MUST be 40+ers out there. 30lbers aren't exceptionally rare. With age comes wisdom, pike learn but forget when very hungry. Too many people seem to be more interested in instant gratification than putting the hours in. However, my PB is 14,6 caught on a Lobworm whilst hoping for tench. Good luck and tight lines to all. 👍

Brilliant Carl. Thanks for making an old man's day. I wish we had this in Australia. Reminds of my childhood fishing in England. First fish i ever caught at five years old was a small pike on the river loddon.

Loads of action and fun fishing, nice one Carl. I miss the Pike fishing.
Brilliant watching and tactics Karl as always nice to see the 1st pike video this year times coming to get the gear out can't wait
Pike fishing is my favorite by far. Thanks for the video experience!
Really agree with your comments around the current state of the UK, but its not like the Gov invest much into keeping them safe and healthy, more focused on rinsing every penny out of us! Love the channel bro!

I wanna share a story from my childhood. It was many years ago, my father's friend brought a pike he'd caught in a local "lake" to our house to show us "the beasht". It was around 10 kilos, maybe a bit bigger.. It was longer than my leg, biggest one I've ever seen back then. He brought it in a plastic tub, filled with water.. He was in a small boat, lure fishing, had no strikes for hours, and then he caught a snag. He pulled the rod left and right, trying to unsnag the lure, when the snag suddenly started pulling him and the boat 🙂He was an experienced angler, and I still remember the look on his face while explaining how scared he was, because he didn't know what he'd caught, since there were "monsters" living in that water, huge pike and catfish... I don't remember how long it took him to bring the pike to the boat, as I said it was a long time ago. But that story I don't think I'll ever forget. When you're a kid, these kind of things leave a deep impression in your psyche. My biggest pike was around 4 kilos maybe, I had a few of those. Never bigger than that. Thank you for a fun video, packed with action, and reminding me of this story 🙂 👍 Cheers

Where is this lake?
Carl when I was younger I was told the world record pike was in the lake where we used to camp / have a caravan. I always laughed thinking people always tell that story. We took a little boat on the lake and sat next to our boat was the biggest pike I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m 36 now and still never seen one so big. It looked like a crocodile below the water. This video brings back so many memories. I used to float fish that lake and was absolutely terrified I would catch / hook the monster.
Spectacular video Carl. You have got to make a couple more visits to that lake. I smell a Winter Pike campaign coming.😉☺
Hello Carl, great video, and what a place, thanks for this mate, have a great weekend, and keem em coming.

Loved it Carl - now I have to go look out my Pike gear and get fishing, thanks for the shove! Interestingly I have also caught a Tench on a dead bait - it was at one of the old brick work ponds at Burgess Hill many moons ago. I have also heard of people catching numerous Carp on deadbaits!
Looks like a cracking spot. Nice start to my Sunday morning.
I'm at F.l for a weeks fishing, arrived today, boat booked for the whole week, was here 2 years ago fishing near the jetti, first day in the first hr I had landed 15 pike! See what this week brings! Great video.
Great video Carl, hope you have a great pike season. Had 2 good pike last weekend on a brown trout deadbate. Best pike was around 10lb mark, great fun 💪🐊✌️
amazing video, please do more pike videos in the future. I love them 😍
Great sesh on a great looking venue. Loving the camo/black jacket aswell carl! 😂😂
So glad you brought up the pollution problem it's getting out of control and we need to do more to stop these big companies getting away with it

Absolutely feel your point on fish quality/quantity in recent years. We really need to take better care of our rivers. I tried pike fishing on a small carp lake and it produced some serious action, it's great fun and makes a welcomed change of pace to river fishing from time to time.
You dont know how lucky you are with this session bro . Fishing for pike last 3 years caught over 100 pikes but never that many at once . All the best you lucky Man 😂👏well done . Thank you for sharing that story with us 🏆🎣🎣🎣👊🏼
Great video Carl. Would be great to have a series on pike fishing from the lake and with Ryan (if possible). You caught some great pike, but I do agree the days of hearing BIG pike getting caught is few and far between. Is it that people are keeping quiet or is it that the rivers and lakes are being polluted by the water companies and destroying stock etc 🤷🏼♂️ Keep up the content 👍
love your vids thanks carl

This came just at the right time. Im gearing up to go deadbaiting for pike for the first time this winter, just headed out to the tackle shop to grab all the trace and braid needed, then this pops up! Hopefully give the carp rods some use over the winter this time!
My biggest pike was 19.5lb caught in a river one of the toughest fights I've had fishing with the current and the strength of the fish it took almost 30 minutes to get to the shore, I was knackered haha, but it was a beauty unfortunately this was back before everyone had mobile phones and we didn't have a camera with us so I never got a picture of it. Caught it on an old style spinning lure amazing fish.
Lovely stuff buddy.
Hey Carl just left a massive comment on another video as it played through then posted on there but just wanted to say a big massive Thankyou to setting me on the right track of fishing how it should be and what it’s about and can’t get the other comment copied onto this video but goes into a load of detail just started my own channel inspired by you and finally got my first carp yea it not the best but it’s there to build on an stay so I can remember that day forever would love when you have the time if you had a watch it’s only 6 minutes but has been the best day of my life we’ll into it now sit watching all Korda boys hoping one day can be just like you and Danny and have the same attitude towards fishing and the same mindset as I think your both so brilliant and on point but yeah massive Thankyou maybe at some point you might see the other comment but was posted on a video from 2 years ago but explained how I started and just love all of it but yeah massive Thankyou still have loads to learn hopefully if you ever come down West Yorkshire there’s a few syndicates even a lovely little one absolutely tiny but it has some amazing fish and even a sturgeon but absolutely keep it up will be watching your channel as much of the lord as till the day I drop love your videos loads 💯🎣🎣

Bro there next to none Pike left in my surrounding waters I used to hear stories of how many there were before, but they were over hunted and are quite rare nowadays... Yesterday I caught my first Pike in the last 6-7 years and even tho it was quite small it managed to make me happy even tho I had to put my cat to rest that day... Anyway, I love the videos, keep them up!

Love to see you take SnaggedBro to this lake!
This is actually really cool I have fished this lake for several years and seen many giant pike. However this year I have struggled to catch any really to the point of giving up almost entirely, definitely starting again after that action. That sauna always has lots of pike near it once I saw a 25lb one come out from there. Another thing about this lake is in the last few years they have introduced otters much to the dismay of the anglers.
There's a forgotten lake (very large pond) in Adirondack Park, NY with Monster lake trout !! It's spring fed off 3 mountain tops its snuggled in. Cold water runoff by the springs is steady even in hot summer months. The stream that runs off the pond is beaver dammed spreading into a marsh. You drop a flasher with a 30"-36" mono leader on a #4-6 hook with a 1" worm on it. They'll trail and nip the worm so no longer than 1". It's non-stop catch and release off the kayack for me. ITS A HIKE getting in so me and my boys would bring a 2 night tent stay. MEMERIES MADE THERE. I taught my boys on Lake Champlain it's all about fishing "IF" you catch one it's icing on the cake. BUT HERE at this spot.....it's how many you get !!!
Someone HAS to know where this lake is, absolutely dying for a decent pike
