Here are three short videos of the pike we got on tip ups Sunday (Dec 2). The ice was nearly 5" thick on the Red River north of Winnipeg, but overflowing water rose up nearly 1 1/2".
The first is Perch Pounders - almost 29".
Mine is next - virtually a twin (or even the same one) to the first one we got:
Last video is of the 27" pike we got in the shack that slipped out of Perch pounders hands, and splashed everything in the shack until we could get him down the hole. You can see him leave through the clear ice.
