Pike handling question
 

I've gotten pretty good at safely releasing pike. Wet hands, 30 sec out of the water max, chinning and everything else. Today I suffered my first pike bite and it got me thinking, I have a rubber palm fishing glove I use for the winter. I also have a gardening glove like that. Are these suitable for handling pike or will they do more harm than good?

As long as the glove is rubber coated, it is the best way to handle big fish.

I always thought your not Pike fishing if your Not bleeding!!!!!:eek:

Yup. Scars are proof the past was real. I have plenty of those on my fingers.

Was it from teeth or gill plate? I've had plenty from the gill plate from trying to control a thrashing pike but never once caught a tooth. If you are handling them properly, there's no way you're getting bit unless you are dehooking with bare hands and no pliers.

I'll give few responses and you just pick the one you like best:

Wet the glove and it's fine but you'll look like a p.

Use you bare hand and take the cut like a man!

Re: Pike handling question
 

Probably the gill plate cause my right hand took the hook out and no cut there

Re: Pike handling question
 

the cut wasn't a problem, I was just wondering if the glove makes things easier;)

Getting bitten by the pike is half the fun

I have a Rubber Fist. That's definitely not good for handling pike.
