I'm glad they were using barbless hooks.

The end of this video is shocking. These two guys are chasing monster pike in Manitoba. If you don't want to watch the entire video, just start at about the 26 min mark, but watch until the end.

They have something big on, but it breaks them off. However, they have an underwater camera, so they can look at the video later, and see what they missed.

It's definitely worth a watch.

I wondered that myself. Can you imagine bringing that into a small portable, with no where for it to go? At least they were outside. I feel sorry for it. It's strange, I don't feel sorry for fish getting fish hooks, but in this case, I feel bad. Glad it was barbless.
