Northern Pike Bites Me

[MN BassFisher]

This is a video I just threw together, because cabin fever is setting in, from August 31st, 2012. I was throwing topwater for bass with good success when I was blown up 3 times in the same area. I was frustrated in not getting the hooks into this fish so I grabbed my swim jig and casted into the area, it only took seconds til I hooked into this fish. It was a Northern Pike that I should have worn out a little more because when it got boat side, it jumped fully out of the water, bit my hand, and stole my swim jig. Leaving me with broken Flouro and a bloody hand - I guess I had that one coming. Here's the video:

So much for " not biting the hand that feeds you"!!

I find it amazing how much bleeding a pike bite causes. It's like they have a built in anticoagulant. My knuckles bleed for a while after a bite.

Nice video. I miss summertime.

Just watching that I can't wait for open water! God I miss it!

Nice vid and when the blood hit the water I kept waiting for the JAWS theme music to start.

That fish was hungry tried to have a man sized snack

Haha Gordie, I should have totally put the Jaws themesong in there!

Yeah I am. I have a Hero 2, the 3's are even nicer but I can't see getting rid of mine while it's still working so well! I'd recommend them to everyone to document their outings! It's fun looking back at your videos.

Nice video, pinkfloyd beat me to it, I was thinking the same thing. I think a GoPro would be a fun investment. Can't wait for open water!

Nice.

I think a Fish Grip would work really well for when you get a northern in the yak.
