This vid begs the question ... how does he know the hole is big enough to fit the fish through...Respect if it's real in any case.

#4 They use an ice drill to make their holes - similar to a giant corkscrew.
#(removed comment) A pike will go for a decent size lure or bait in these temperatures as they want to make the best use of their energy

No way this can be real, if you ever tried fishing for pike, you know how much of a fighter they are, and this one is just playing completly dead? but damn, what a beautiful fish.

I've seen bigger things come out of a small hole before although this was more pleasant on the eyes.

Ehh i think its pretty obvious, when the video started he had his arm down the hole already, what's to say he didn't get a dead fish and pushed it through the hole, then started the video and pretends to catch it!!!

These fish have NASTY teeth. One bit through my friends leather glove and cut him pretty bad. Not sure how this guy would have gotten his hand through those teeth and into the gills! But... have you ever tried to push a fish backwards? Doesn't work.

Solution: Catch the fish, then wear a neoprene sleeve and glove, put it back in and wait a few minutes. Wait for the rim of the hole to freeze up a little and "roll camera!"

I hear some annoying cries from the back when the guy caches his fish. -.-

#17 +1 I think you are exactly right on that. That is a nasty fish to be putting your fingers in his mouth and he looks to be already dead when it comes out of the hole , it doesn't even wiggle.

The point is, that when he caught it, he realized that it doesn't fit through hole. At first they didn't know what to do, then decided to pull it.

F - fisherman
V - viewer
C - cameraman

V: Pike?
F: Don't know.
C: Maybe we should ... ehhhhh... roll up your sleeve?
F: Wouldn't help.
C: Wouldn't help?
F: It doesn't fit through.
C: Crash (drag) [it] by the eyes. Crash (drag) [it] by the eyes. What else could you do?
F: %&*, it doesn't fit in!
C: Doesn't fit in there? In hole (alveolus (*that's how we actually call it ( [lu?nk?] )*)?
C: Daaaamn... Come on.
F: Unless... break ribs.
F: You... less... resist.
C: *can't understand what he says*
F: *can't understand what he says*

...

C: Damn, you lucky!

P.S.
I think they are Ukrainians, not Russians.

Reminds me of an old joke.
"Did you hear about the [insert nationality here] man that went ice fishing? He had a great day on the lake, he brought home 60 pounds of ice. His wife flooded the kitchen trying to cook the damn stuff."

Your transcription/translation is missing "yob tvoyu mat", one of the few Russian phrases I know. It means, more politely, "copulate with your mother".

Looks similar to catfish fishing done by hands, whatever they call it in the swamp. The concept is pretty clear. You stick your hand down in the water and wiggle with your fingers. If something is near they will bite and take it for food.

I was expecting a sudden cry of pain and half an arm being removed from the hole as a fake one armed man pretended to fish. I agree with most of the comments, there is absolutely no way you could catch a pike with your bare hand, without losing several fingers. Pike are terrorist fish, they attack their pray full on with teeth blazing, you might be able to tickle a trout but pike are not ticklish. :D
