44 1/2" #16. Early spring she was spawned out. 17" girth. Had a circle hook with f carbon leader to swivel in the corner of her mouth. Lessen here for all retye main line is it's looking frayed. Somebody lost a fish of a lifetime through the ice.

this is the type of iceshanty post you scroll through at 12:27am when you're too tired to sleep.  great fish everyone.  thought this post needed a bump so it can become for someone the icehsanty post you scroll through at lunchbreak from your stupid job.
mine was 37x20 19.12.  you never forget a big girl.

My biggest ever I caught today on a tip-up using dead smelt for bait.  It was 35.5" long.

Not on ice but here's my son holding the 43.5" northern that I caught last October while we were trolling for post-spawn lake trout ... easier for him to handle as he had the gloves, and was a nice quick turnaround from the landing cradle to the photo to the release.

Hi all,
Here are a few photos of my new personal best pike. ;D
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/waterwolf101/March17th20144_zps3a02421e.jpg)
I caught her on St.Patrick's Day at Last Mountain Lake SK.

She was 42.5" X 18.75"
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/waterwolf101/March17th20145_zps523e2811.jpg)

She went for a small smelt on a red standout hook & dropshot rig :tipup:

Hi all,
Well within a few weeks of icing my personal best pike on the 17th of March 2014, I already beat it on the 28th.
It was not by much, just a bit more in the girth area, but still here she, my NEW personal best pike. ;D

She was 42.5" X 18.9". :tipup:

This here is the biggest at 47 3/4 inches 24 inch girth 28lbish area..

(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff11/deadsmelthead/SunFeb14200654AmericaNew_York2010.jpg)

This here Pike I was just dumbfounded at its dimensions 43inches 24 inch girth  no scale that day so unsure of weight.. But if i had to guess id say between 20-23lbs...
If my math is right, that fish is right around the 30lb mark. Very impressive, and I have a lot of faith in the lake I think it was caught from. It was tough open water fishing this year but I plan to spend a bit of time there this winter. Wouldn't mind meeting up and shooting the sH$t sometime either.

Hi all,

Here are a few photos of the big un I caught on Oct.23rd/2016. at 4:29pm- in the fog! :woot:

She went for a 4" Storm wildeye live perch swimbait. It's still in her mouth.
(https://i.postimg.cc/tTLR6FfF/Oct-23rd-2016-5.jpg)
She was 24 lbs.
 
After weighing her and a few photos she went back to get even bigger.
(https://i.postimg.cc/MGHzrsJy/Oct-23rd-2016-6.jpg)

She is now my new personal best pike, and largest fish to date. ;D

A full report of the action will be found at myfishfinder A.S.A.P. ;)
