Ouch! I now wear gloves whenever handling these fish purely to reduce the chances of a "love bite" like you've received
Normally get a bit of gill graze - but that’s only the second time one has properly bit me. Need more practice (more pike)!
Good job you didn't kiss it.
Who says I didn’t - that’s why the photo is cropped so tight!
I am certain it was worth it :)
It’s a pike in the net - so definitely worth it!!!
Exactly why I don't target anything with teeth!
Tiny risk - fantastic fish to catch - wouldn’t be a good season without the odd pike cut. But I’m not all that bright!
The same week as the British record was beaten, Pike action all round!
That 47 would probably have had my arm off! As I type that I’m wondering if it would be worth it…
