May 18, 2017 By Game & Fish Online Staff

Northern pike, one of the greatest and most-popular gamefish in the world, can be quite a handful even for anglers with the tackle and know-how necessary to fight the toothy beasts.

They're a challenge to catch, they fight hard, and, sometimes, they provide the catch of a lifetime.

And now is a great time to go get you some.

With the help of our fellow Outdoors Sportsman Group family members In-Fisherman, Sportsman Channel and the World Fishing Network, we dug up some YouTube videos with expert tips and tactics advice on northern pike fishing.
