BIG PIKE through the ice!!!(pics)

[lethalconnection]

So me and a few friends decided to head up to central Alberta this weekend to see if we could get our hands on some BIG PIKE and well at least one of us did and maybe the odd burbot. We managed to get 9 fish all pike not the best day thats for sure but not the worst either, 3 were keepers the rest were under the limit but we only kept one of the keepers cause the other ones were just too big to keep. I managed to hook both big ones, one was 35 1/2 inches and the other was 33inches, and i just bought some new tip-ups and i christened them both with big fish so that was a bonus.Plus i also got my first pike on my trout ice fishing rod (need to get myself some big game ice rods for sure), wow what a battle and a half and it wasnt even legal size, sure glade it wasnt one of the big guys
35 1/2 incher

33 incher

Hey im proud of how big they are since they are my biggest pike to date, no sense in lying, if you lie just goes to show your out to impress people not to have fun.

Well Said!    I caught about an 8# pike 40 years ago and since I got back into serious ice fishing, I can't get past 20"; so I really appreciate nice pike pictures.... keep 'um coming!

Nice fish, glad to hear that you released some, usually the bigger ones are female's.

I am truly envious.  Very nice job. 

I love to see pictures like this, it keeps me hunting for the BIG One!

Good Fishing

Nice fish! Did you weigh them, or have a good guess?

[lethalconnection]

No we didnt weigh them cause we wanted to get them back in the water ASAP but i figured the 35 1/2 was about 16-17lbs cause he had quite the girth on him and the 33 incher i figure was about 12-13 lbs
