Nice job Chad on the handling of a great fish, Alot can be learned from this video, like keeping the ice and your hands wet when handling a fish like pike as the slime coating does come off their body, and they don't stick to the ice or snow, giving the fish a chance to recover from the fight and stress from been hooked as pike build up lactic acid in their body from this and it will kill the fish in some cases, Also big females are getting ready to spawn at this time of year and proper handling ensures that the eggs produce more pike for the future. Sign of a true sportsman.
