WEIGHING PIKE Once you have safely landed and unhooked your pike you might want to weigh it. There are many well designed weigh slings on the market today and one of these should always be used. Make sure that the sling is wetted on the inside before carefully placing the pike in it.

To get an accurate weight for your pike, the scales should be zeroed with the empty, but damp, sling in place. Then when the fish is weighed in the sling the weight you read off the scales will be the weight of the fish - no need for difficult maths deducting the weight of the sling!

Freshwater Fishing - Trout Secrets

What is the key to landing big fish?
Palmerton: Move with the fish. If the fish is hot and you have a light tippet, stay even with him in the river. If you stand like a statue, you’re done.
Gunn: Don’t rush to get a fish on the reel, because any fish that you want on the reel is going to get there on its own. Control its head by getting it above the water.
Whitley: At the end, lower the rod tip to the water, at a 90-degree angle to the fish. When the fly line is at the end of the rod, rotate the tip upward, and lift the fish’s head.
