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