MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Caught plenty of crappies and bluegills with bite marks on back half of fish. Lucky fish to escape from predator to end up as fish fry for me.
Cool video. Pike are opportunist. They will hit it anyway they can.
I don't mean to imply that pike always take bait head first. In the first video the Pike waited for the bait to turn. So this pike obviously waited to take it head first. I would ask the pike what his thoughts on the mater were, but let him go before I could. If I was real hungry I would eat a corn cob from the end, but i would rather eat it from the side.
I just didn't want anybody to think that was the only way that a Pike will strike. My apologies if I came off a bit too argumentative.
I hate to be the one to disagree with you... yet if your videos show how pike strike the bait, then just how do people manage to catch pike with these rigs to use smelt for bait?? (Image removed from quote.)I have caught quite a few pike with this setup and basically impossible for the pike to attack that head first and still be able to set the hook on them.
