I'm with ya on that. Especially from a place where there isn't an abundance of 40"+/ 20lb+ fish. It could be a bad factor to the gene pool.

If there was any place with an actual abundance of 40+ inch 20+lb fish in the state of new York, I'd be thrilled to know where it was lol. Some place grow some big pike, but I don't know of any pike factories.

Now like Tobin Lake, or Great Slave Lake.. They have an abundance of 20lb fish lol.

Right. That's what I mean. We don't have a LOTW fishery here lol. I just don't like seeing fish killed of that size unless for some reason they will not make a successful release. Anyways, good luck out there today, I'm getting ready to go check a couple places out.

Thank you for bringing up the notion of preserving the larger fish - we are definitely in favor of keeping those genes propagating via C&R efforts. As a result of this concern coupled with a similar concern for trout in the tribs, we are looking at the possibility and logistics of adding a C&R category (or categories) for the 2016 event. It's too close to the event to try to add or change the event for this year, but we are open to suggestions for next year's tournament. The key here is to allow for the release of the fish while keeping the integrity of the event. So shoot us your ideas on this concept and we'll see if we can mold something for next year's event!

We got 3 pike and 3 eyes. Few drag and drops through the day. Somewhat steady. My buddy Terry got one slobby 36"ish fish right at last light.

Nice. Glad someone is able to get out there and be productive!

Very impressive pike. It looks like you guys are off of the beaten path.

northernnyice · « **Reply #1721 on:** Dec 14, 2014, 06:48 PM »

I'll be back out tomorrow.

northernnyice · « **Reply #1722 on:** Dec 14, 2014, 06:50 PM »

My buddy Cody (cstone12) got a nice fatty 22" eye as well. I think he is gonna post up the pic otherwise ill throw it up.

NatefishNY · « **Reply #1723 on:** Dec 14, 2014, 08:24 PM »

I'll be out tomorrow

HybridHunter · « **Reply #1727 on:** Dec 15, 2014, 05:33 PM »

Got out today, a little later than I hoped. It was relatively slow with zero flags but did manage some crappie. Here is my buddies first one

I'll be back out tmrw to try at the pike again.

Nice pick. Really shows how beautiful these fish are and why they are called paper mouths. Or did Buddy rip the lips off that one?

northernnyice · « **Reply #1729 on:** Dec 15, 2014, 06:08 PM »

Very nice I'd love to get into a mess of crappies

Here's the collection. Unfortunately I couldn't get em all in the pic, bout 4 more.

HybridHunter · « **Reply #1733 on:** Dec 15, 2014, 07:07 PM »

That's awesome and congrats on your success. I have a couple tiger muskies I haven't got back yet. Some day they will be in " their " own room.

northernnyice · « **Reply #1734 on:** Dec 15, 2014, 07:12 PM »

Not all mine. My dads, as well. My brothers also not pictured here. We kinda do it as a team so I like to keep them together, looks more impressive.

Nice fish guys! Moved back to ny this week and hoping to get out soon!

bushyjr · « **Reply #1736 on:** Dec 15, 2014, 08:05 PM »

Nnyice. Nice fish

coldsteel · « **Reply #1737 on:** Dec 16, 2014, 06:03 AM »

damn man that is super impressive i cant wait to have a trophy room like that some day, alot of hard work goes into that. I caught a 42.5" pike last yr i released only 18lbs if i get a 20lber ill prob do a replica unless i decide to do a replica of the one last season eventually. still searching for a 10lb marble eye for the wall too. the fish you guys catch up there are unreal i look forward to the pics this season.
