When you get bitten by a 40 lb pike it suddenly becomes 100 lb once the story has done the rounds in the local pub.

Jeremy at age 13 : "Im gonna catch a Pike!"


Pike: "Im gonna start this man's whole career"

This man is going around looking for legendary fish like in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Can we just appreciate that this man is still fishing monsters in his 60s

Game Warden: “Do you have a fishing license?”

Jeremy: “My name is Jeremy Wade.”

Game Warden: “Say no more.”

Guy: there has been bigger ones caught.

Jeremy:  looks intently

I love how this guy makes fishing seem like a horror movie, hell of a producing job on these things. I know it's just fishing, but I love watching them anyway lol. You got me.

I'd imagine this man has a briefcase full of fishing licenses LOL!

jeremy: fishes for 6 hours
scientist: “the huge pikes have been wiped out”
jeremy:😶

There’s an old pike that lives in the canal next to my house in Staffordshire. It’s missing an eye from a fishing accident but it’s at least 3ft long. I see it probably once a month if I walk down the canal with a torch at night, especially during lockdown when the water was crystal clear

I hate people.  Killing pike because they blame them for killing their precious trout.  Here in the States they blame pike and muskie for eating perch, walleye, and bass.   Strangely the best lakes for pike or muskie usually have amazing fishing for those other species.  It's almost like predators are an important part of the ecosystem and nature doesn't exist simply for humans to exploit.

Imagine Jeremy Wade and Gordon Ramsay in a show

I think it's easier to find the Legendary Pike in Red Dead Redemption 😂

I have never before seen a guy who can take an everyday event like sitting in a boat with a fish pole dangling a lure and build it into a suspense-laden adventure that would make Lewis and Clark blush.

I remember my Grandfather rowing us around a lake in Minnesota. We trolled a flashing spinner with a live minnow and slayed huge Pike.
I asked him if he wanted to catch one and he smiled like he was happy just watching us.
Thanks Grampa.

I love jeremy wade so much ugh i miss the show

I have the upmost respect for Jeremy wade but I thought it was hilarious how scary he made catching a pike sound. As someone from the Midwest they’re so common and fun to catch

I have seriously always wanted to go fishing with Jeremy Wade. Not because he's so famous and not because I've been watching him for literally years, but because his stories would be so entertaining while waiting for fish. I think it would be an awesome experience.

Back in the early 80’s, I went north of Montreal, to a place called “Reservoir Baskatong”, about 5 hours from home by car. It’s an abandoned Hydro dam , with a lake above and some turbulence below from an overflow channel that’s left open year round. Casting a 6” Blue/ Silver jointed minnow, a monster hit within 5 minutes. I got it close to shore on a steep bank and people we’re running over to take a look, and when it got close, my jaw dropped…. at least a 48” Northern Pike in all its pissed of attitude. Old guys were freakin out just from the girth of it. Suffice to say, our 4 guys had no net, not expecting huge fish and after a few whirls and spins , he broke/cut the line and I just drop sat on the ground. 40+ years later, I’ve never seen or hooked anything else like it.

I love fighting Pike - they have a unique feel on the line
