MikePro....er...Mikepi ke....welcome to Iceshanty.com    Awesome!!!!!! are you sure about the weight of that slobbo northern?   looks much bigger than that.....tell us more...what were you using....how long did it take you to get it in.....give everyone the whole story.....Grump 8) 8)

thank you grump . the scale i used was old so maybe it was heavier. what i caught it on and what i always catch my big pike on: a large treble with a 7-8" smelt tipped for bait. I was fishing in only about 3 feet of water, considering there was about 4 feet of ice! (it was in march, prime pike time for my pike spot). it took around a minute to haul er in, when i fighting it, i was thinking:Wow, this seems a bit heftier than the usual pike! and when he was flopping on the ice  i was pretty excited. my dad has been fishing in this particular spot for around 10 years. he has caught his share of 20+pounders in this spot (I'm not lying either ) This was my first year fishing at this spot and really enjoyed it.

Hey MikePike!!! If that fish was only 15 pounds then you must be on 3 feet tall !!!!  That HAS to be bigger than 15!!!!  Great fish.  And I agree with Grump, tell us the whole story.  Start at breakfast and work your way to when the pic was taken!!!

 I jus get the stupid red X.....I wanna see this slob of a northern 

[scavanau]

You mean theres a fishermans scale that potentially reads UNDER the actual weight???
Sure it wasn't registering kilo's?

[Hookset]

That thing was 16 lbs two years before this photo was taken.  Looks like a solid 20. What a hog!

[buzzbomb]

I think this was a #15

Looks like a 15 to me.

Congrats.    Bet you were excited to see that head coming up the hole!
