Almost! I've done exactly as you are doing there, and been told off by the experts. Namely standing up! Should you drop the pike it is a long way down, especially if there is no unhooking mat.
Other than that it looks fine, in my opinion! I think the hold on the chin, rather than a lift, might be more secure though, and kneel down. I don't think Jason Davis is criticising the chin hold, only lifting and supporting the whole weight of a pike by its chin. -------------------- PETER

I was kneeling and there was an unhooking mate, but it's still 1ft and half drop at least, so I see where you're coming from. Will know next time.
That was caught on the Norfolk Broads. You fish them don't you? -------------------- Dan

Actually it would probably be much better for them if no one fished for them. If they were never caught they wouldn't be in any danger of being mis-handled.

Tut, tut, there was me thinking you had a possibly unsafe pike chin lift for sale.
 I keep pike (and all large fish) out of the water for the minimum amount of time possible and hold them vertically, with a supporting arm along their belly (similar to cradling a baby). None appear to have suffered from this at all and most people I observe seem to do the same thing. -------------------- "Watch out for the one who brings a spoon to a knife fight.........he is either really stupid or really good with a spoon."
