How to film pike attack underwater, no hooks, first attempt. Рыбалка: щука и живец

 

Check out
for some great fishing tips. Please read this first before commenting! That was my first attempt to film how a pike eats a fish underwater. Originally I had a different plan on that day but it didn't work well so before leaving I caught a rudd which was swimming close to the shore because it was sick. I thought that it would die anyway so I made a quick hook-less rig and set it in front of my camera. After about 1.5 hour I removed the camera and released the rudd because nothing visible had happened but at home I discovered that a pike was very close to eating that rudd but it didn’t because of some reason. So I’ve got some interesting footage with rare fish behaviour but I’ve never done an experiment like this anymore (feeding live hook-less fish to pike). Now I film how pike attack different hook-less dead and artificial baits and you can see my newer videos here - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8yL-57O-UMZo6FrupTbY_hC4v9Y0-BF3
Once again (to those who blame me for no reason) – I never cut the tail off that rudd, it had some disease and I released the fish after the experiment.
