Location: nationwide		This is pretty wild. I will think twice about playing with small pike or walleyes at the side of the boat now.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin		Michael, our friend from overseas, sent me one similar a few weeks ago. Aggressive Pike over there!

Location: Nebraska		My worst muskie injury came on the smallest one I had caught. I was careless handling a 30" fish because it was small. While unhooking the bait, it thrashed and sent a treble up through the ball of my thumb, out the nail and it thrashed again, tearing the hook out through the nail. My wife is an RN and was fishing with me. Got me sutured up and back to fishing. Throbbed pretty good the rest of the trip. Sorry, no pics of that one. After that, even the little guys get handled like any other fish.

That didn't look like a pike - more like a walleye, or whatever the Euro equivalent of a walleye is. Whatever that fish was - it was FAST. I've caught fish that I thought for sure wanted to bite me if they could - I guess they do.

Zander is an European walleye

Location: Norway		They were fishin in Northern Norway, and no Sander there.
That scream is priceless
And if memory serves me correct, pike is THE fastest accelerating fish in the world...

I see you're from Norway. Can you interpret for us? Was it indeed a pike? It looked to me like the dorsal fin was mid-body on that fish. But it's very hard to see clearly, even with the video set for 'full screen'.

I will definitely think twice about waving those hammerhandle pike around in the water and saying "Here muskies!!" from now on

Same goes for used suckers...

Location: Norway		Yes, it was a pike. Im sure they fish in northern Norway, for Grayling. The sander is only found in eastern parts of Norway. The bitten fisherman also says at the end: I have fished a few pikes in my life, so I probably deserved that.
The narrator also says that the angler tapes up his wounds, and kept on fishing, but did not release several fish in the same place over and over
