My dad broke a leader clean in half today on a fish. Steel leader.. Had to have been an imprecection in the leader. 20 minutes later he caught a 26" pike with half of a leader/hook hanging out of its mouth.

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.

Forget 10, come up here and get a 13-14!! Lol just kidding. Good luck on the eyes this year.

And good luck to everyone. I can't wait to get on some really good spots! Temps dumping off this weekend.

We only got 1 small pike today

Oh I'm glad I'm able to get out. My patience wore thin during open water season so I guess I'm a little quick to pull the trigger on the blame game. I wish I was able kt get out tmrw after this rain but looks like a couple days off.

That I am. I'm an operator for an excavation contractor. I'm still working but the job we are on now is hit or miss.

The Reel Deeeal · « **Reply #1756 on:** Dec 17, 2014, 07:14 AM »

Salmon or brown? No two of my friends can agree. Would've taken more pics but it was a cold day in the adirondacks and I didn't want her freezing up. My guess is it's a LLsalmon just because of the mouth/maxillary doesn't extend past the eye. http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/Fishing/salmon_v_browntrout.htm

jighead · « **Reply #1757 on:** Dec 17, 2014, 09:30 AM »

Its true, on the Brown the jaw tends to extend well past the eye and your fish does not, could you tell if the tail was forked at all? Also, where your right hand is near the tail known as the caudal peduncle is narrow, speaking to LL Salmon, cant tell, any of those spots look like x marks?

foulhooked · « **Reply #1758 on:** Dec 17, 2014, 09:50 AM »

Tough to tell from that pic but I'm leaning brown. Head shape looks like a brown to me. But I'm far from an expert. A view of the tail would help, as jighead said. There is a lot of variation in browns with peduncle size and jaw length, and the angle of the pic doesnt help determine where the jaw ends much at all. I've also found female browns to typically have the max end nearly even with the back of eye, rather than well behind it.

OneidaAngler · « **Reply #1759 on:** Dec 17, 2014, 09:56 AM »

That's a nice fish. I would have to say it is an older Landlocked Salmon. The mouth looks that of a salmon and the spots seem to be on the upper sides of the fish. But, I'm not 100% sure. If I had it in front of me, in my hands I could tell what it is. Thanks for sharing!

The Reel Deeeal · « **Reply #1760 on:** Dec 17, 2014, 10:26 AM »

Here's a better picture, the sun was at my back in this one really pulling out the iridescence. Compared to a laker of the same size, it had a lot more fight in it, was a blast on the ultralight regardless.

jighead · « **Reply #1761 on:** Dec 17, 2014, 11:18 AM »

wow, that is a tough fish to identify, the tail lacks that fork which suggests Brown Trout . Looks like we need to look in the mouth to really know LOL...

The Reel Deeeal · « **Reply #1762 on:** Dec 17, 2014, 12:30 PM »

I cropped the hell out of one of the last pictures I have and the tail does look like it has a slight fork to it. If I'm ever in doubt again I'll take a quick picture of the mouth, haha, seems to be the only sure way to tell. Some bodies of water really make it hard to differentiate between the two.

northernnyice · « **Reply #1763 on:** Dec 17, 2014, 01:05 PM »

Beats me. I don't know a thing about trout! Or salmon....

coldsteel · « **Reply #1764 on:** Dec 17, 2014, 01:23 PM »

i was leaning towards salmon and then that last pic of the tail fork confirmed it for me

northernnyice · « **Reply #1765 on:** Dec 17, 2014, 01:51 PM »

To chase walleyes tonight, or not. Cost me a $20 bill just to go and check the night bite. Could pay off though.
