Paul young on Discovery shed

Highland pike hunt at Loch Alvie.

Watching it now and cannot believe what I just saw. Paul Young and another bloke were sitting on a small pier thing chatting and drinking a cuppa when a bite alarm went off. So they put their cups of tea down, ran through a small patch of woods to the rods then waited to strike. they landed the pike ok, but the thing that amazed me was the fact they were both about 20 meters away from the rods .

I am not sure if its just me being fussy but I am suprised they didnt end up with a deep hooked pike

is it on the net???

i think it was in it

Watched this programe this morning, They were a hell of a way from the rods, Well more than 20yards, The pike was deep hooked, But the saving grace was the hooks were semi barbed, And you could see they were holding the throught passage closed, They came out easy enough with the pliers, But it would have starved to death had it snapped the trace off, Very amaturish for top fishermen ?

he's a trout man really so i wouldn't be suprised if they clonked it on the heed after the cameras stopped rolling...did you see it get returned?

yeah they did return them, didnt put much effort into returning them though. basicaly plonked them in the water and gave them a shove

that pike guy ( cant remember name ) is a londoner who moved up there i was told he eventualy got kicked off alvie

seen it age's ago. it was an old program. it was a long run, he then waited for it to stop and turn the bait to swallow. then struck.
thats the way thay done it in "the old days". there are still people out there doing the same things. i was told the same thing about 5yrs ago

Here is me thinking "Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home" but now realize its not the same Paul Young! Hahahahahahaaha

Doesn't sound like much of a Pike Angler... , perhaps EVEN less of one than I am!

He is a great man on the fly for the trout, And stop knocking yourself Bazz, You caught 2 at the weekend, Top Pikeing that mate,

funny how things change eh stubbo. pike were classed as vermin, had to be killed.

then left on the bank to rot.

It´s funny I saw this same program almost one year ago and i thought the same as you guys, what the hell were they doing 1 mille away from the rods?, Is that even legal?

the guy done well to get his fish bud, its not an easy loch to fish. could even say not worth fishing now.
we all have to learn, but his mistakes are plain to see.
