To be honest I don`t think the pike is attacking the angler, it has been attracted by the hooked fish struggling and is going for it as it is returned. Pike get enough bad press as it is so don`t worry novice pike anglers, a pike won`t try to eat you . Still a good bit of film though.
Good fishing,
Andy

100% correct, it was quite obviously attacking the fish which it had probably followed in whilst being played. Like all wild creatures pike are shy of humans.
