23 lb Pike on Fort Peck MT

[smorfonzo76]

Caught this Big Pike at fort peck (headed to the wall) It weighed 23 pounds, 43 inches long, and 23 inches girth 45 minutes after getting caught in -10 degree weather.  we were a decent snowmobile ride to the marina and a scale.  Any idea if that 45 mins could have affected the digits on it?  And if so how much?


Heres a better shot of the belly mass



Heres an 18 lb pike caught by my buddy the same trip



All in all a good trip with pike ranging from 13-18 lbs and the one at 23lbs

Wow it looks like you had a good day looks like your length and weights are for real see a lot of people fish that just don't look like they add up

Yeah the marina there conveniently has a scale which was nice because we forgot ours lol.
