If you’re passionate about pike fishing or simply want to learn from one of the best, the new releases from Paul Gustafson, internationally renowned angler, author, and television presenter, are a must-watch. Available now on Fishing TV (fishingtv.com), these two captivating films — How to Catch Bigger Pike and How to Catch River Pike — dive deep into the world of this powerful freshwater predator.

How to Catch Bigger Pike

In How to Catch Bigger Pike, Paul Gustafson takes viewers on an in-depth journey through the tactics and tackle needed to land truly trophy-sized fish.
From deadbait fishing to lure fishing and fly fishing, this film explores proven methods that maximize your chances of hooking monster pike. Viewers will learn how to choose the right gear, understand pike behavior, and identify the best locations to find larger specimens.

Paul also shares advanced insights into the pike’s sensory system—including their remarkable hearing, acute sense of smell, and the fascinating neuromast organs that allow them to detect movement and hunt effectively even in darkness. This scientific yet practical perspective makes the film both educational and entertaining.

How to Catch River Pike

While the first film focuses on size, How to Catch River Pike takes anglers to flowing waters, where the challenge is as much about reading the river as finding the fish.
Paul demonstrates how to locate likely holding spots, adapt your bait and presentation to current conditions, and select the most effective techniques for river environments—whether that’s trolling, casting lures, or drifting deadbaits.

This film is packed with tips for understanding how water flow, temperature, and structure influence pike movement, helping anglers of all experience levels improve their results on rivers across the UK and beyond.
