That's pretty cool.  I like how just before the pike strikes the camera he is just staring into the camera.  Kind of give the viewer the impression they are the prey.  Thanks for sharing.

Last year me and the wife were fishing and my camera was about 10' down, looking birds eye over our lures. I was playing on my phone and my wife asks, "whats that pink thing on the camera??"

I look down the hole and the biggest burbot I've seen in my life has my entire camera in its mouth and wouldn't let go. My wife brought her lure up towards him and he could care less, he wanted that camera.

I tried slow pulling him to the hole, but he let go about 3' from the bottom of the hole, attacked the camera again, came a little closer, then slowly swam off. I will bet this burbot was 40"+. It was pretty crazy, wish I had recorded it!

Ha, that's funny.  You should have tied a hook on the camera and threw it back down the hole.  That woulda been something if you caught the state record burbot on a aqua-vu camera
