I read this on YF and is why I wanted to go piking.

Thanks for taking the time to do it - clear and concise

I think I have had maybe 6 fish over 10lbs including the 24lber from Poo City, its just not a big Pike water

its like the water i fish there in there you just have to get through every other hungry f**ker to get the very few big ones

Or step your tackle up and use one of the hungry little feckers as a bait

Poor benson

hes 12lb now i have you know had him in the sling the other night

Thanks guys exactly what i was lookin 4.
my main concern is exactly how to get hands on with the pike.
i don't want to harm the fish let alone myself.
i will read it over again just to get things in my mind as i will prob be hyper and my heart racing when i first land a pike, dont want to c**k it up.
full respect to you n ryan for the write up.
rep left m8.
thanks again,
Brian

Cheers Brian, if it helps then it was worth doing

Absolute cracking article about handling a pike... The Americans should take note and get rid of those damn BOGA Grips!!

Good job mate.
