Nice fish and good video , congrats!
I liked it how cool you played this pike and did not rush it and how you released it.
I would say that post-spawn pike of about 34-35" should weight around 10-11 lb from my experience.
You can use "In-Fisherman" Length to Weight table as a general guide to determine pike's weight based on it's length:

Couple of quick tips, if you don't mind:
-always keep the landing net ready beside you.
- and keep the long-nosed pliers and other release tools handy to make sure the pike is unhooked and released quickly
Good job!
