I'll know later in the year where you caught that awesome fish ! I'll look for signs posted on the shore that read "swim at your own risk".

That's one hell of a fish. Most have never hooked into a fish like that, but you did....and threw it back!

Commendable !!!
I fish because I have to......in order to keep my sanity!

Congrats on the monster.
If fishing is a sport are we considered athletes?

Very Nice fish! My goal is to break the 40" this year. If you don't mind me asking, jigging or tipup?

Very nice pike. can you share the rest of measurements? Around 14-15lbs?

41" right at 18lb.

37-38" fish is gonna put you in the 14lb mark, 38-40" is gonna get you 15-17lb. 41-42" is gonna put you around 18-19 pounds, and so on.. As long as your getting nice healthy thick fish..

This is what I have found. We've got about 6 or 7 40+ and it seems pretty constant.
