Decent vid bro was deffo a good watch👌also I know from experience it’s always when you’re least prepared or least expect it those big girls strike keep at it mate you will deffo have that 20 I can assure you👊

Your fave spot on the weir is my fave drop shot spot. Looking at that girl you caught I might change tactics next winter! Great catch 👍🎣

No worries mate, you will get the big girl eventually. It took me 7 years to catch a 40lb linear carp from the local canal. Had him again twice the next year. Sometimes the chase is better than the catch. It's fun fishing for a target, you still have that :)

Some absolute fantastic fish there, well done for sticking with it and hopefully you'll have a 20+ soon. bloody swans!

Keep at it mate!!! You’re closer than you think!!! I spent 20 years inching closer and closer to the magical 20lber….. campaigning on the fenland drains…… my first over 20 was 32.2!!!! Still to this day not had a twenty!!! Keep the faith brother…..

32.2 is a seriousssss pike! Well in mate 🎣

So I watched this video, last Sunday at 12:00. And then all geared up I went at 13:30 for some pike fishing in my direct neighbourhood (bike distance). I caught a probably 30+ lbs pike in some small side water of a lake, by far the heaviest ever in 30 year pike fishing. Below 1 meter probably, but fat like a carp. I saw it take my streamer. Really great experience. Thanks for your inspirational video. And good luck on your hunt. Greetings from Rotterdam, the Netherlands

Wow what amazing Pike. They look really healthy aswell. Great catches Have you ever fished the lochs for Pike? There are some real monsters in some of them lochs. They are a lot stronger then the river pike aswell. I held the rod once when some one else caught a 30 pounder while they had to go and get a landing net out of their van. It felt like a lump of concrete. My record is still only 17lbs lol Been trying to beat my friend for 17 years hahaha

Best one yet! Come on the 20lber!!! 🤞

Like the video well made and your narrating is good. As some of the others have said you need a bigger net. Pike are very fragile and bending the big girls in the net is not good for them. An unhooking mat should also be used as pike are very fragile creatures. Drop off indicators should also be used to positively show runs where possible as well or you miss a tentative take and end up witha Deeply hooked pike which is not good for you or them. As I say keep going loads of vids and books on pike fishing that can help you in your quest. Try using bigger baits as you don’t have to cast far for pike a lot of the time, especially on rivers . Good luck and keep going some huge pike in the Thames
