Very nice fish... Did you tip the lure ? I have never used those , don't own one, possibly thinking about it, just wondering if you tip them or fish them solo.
-
Lots of guys do tip the Lures with a small minnow head and or fish eyes. But small dont want to mess up the action of them. Tie lures direct or use a small swivel. If you go to the web site you can see a demo of how its fished. Tap the bottom and once the fish show up slow down and lately guys have down sizes the lure size. Good Luck. :) :tipup:

monsters for sure , whats the weights
-
Wow what a brute! :clap:
-
:o Wow Nice ones

I'd love to know the exact ages of some of those monsters. I find it fascinating that I have a chance to catch a fish that's 20 years or older.

hello all, first I will present me, I am not an ice fishermen but a european fishermen. In my country, fishing on ice is not allowed because it is to dangerous (not enough ice width during the winter). I was a passionate fishermen since I begin to work. Today I have no time any more to fish.
I have some answers for you because I know the zander very well it was my favorite fish with the grayling.
I have take a lot of zander with a lot of methods, with small fishes, alive or not, with lures, with drachko and several times with flies (a few only)!
I don't know the weight of the first specimen you show on the photo, but that the fish was fotographied with a wide angle, than it appear larger than it is.
The second is a german one of about, 40.16 inches (102 cm) and 24.6 pounds (11,2 kg).
the third is a wonderful specimen catch by an incredible italian fisherman Marco Guidici (an incredible catcher of monstrous northern pikes and zanders), more than 33 pounds (more than 15 kg) and 41.34 inches (105 cm) (maybe one of the largest ever seen)! no more precision because he release his fish after some photographies. This fish is really dark and this indicate that it was catch just after the mating period.
the fourth: a french one, 35.43 inches (90 cm), 18.7 pounds (8,5 kg) and the typical effect of a larger fish, because the photos were taken with a wide angle.
The age is difficult to give, because the reading of the scale (scalimetry) is difficult on zander and the otholiths are not good. But we know that a 3 to 5 years old fish reach to 17.72 (45 cm). After that they grow slowly to really gigantic sizes and it is possible to talk about specimens of more than 10 years ore more. We have informations about fishes just a little larger than the specimen of Guidici. The max seem's to be close from 45,30 inches (115 cm) and a little lesser than 39.6 pounds (18 kg).
Here are some photographies, for you of one of my largest specimen (unfortunately I don't have any photos of the largest one 20.9 pounds (9,5 kg) for 38.9 inches (99 cm not one meter!).
These one have reach to 35.43 inches (90 cm) and 19.8 pounds (9 kg).
(http://media.joomeo.com/large/52827eff32249.jpg)
Here am I with "him". The zander is lesser gold colored than your walleye, the belly is white, the flanks are gold and the back is green. It was a male with two fishes in the stomach (22 and 20 cm long!).
(http://media.joomeo.com/large/52827f5a7b1e6.jpg)
Here my grand father show's the fish (unfortunately he is deceased today because we were a family fishing team)
(http://media.joomeo.com/large/52827fa898b58.jpg)
(http://media.joomeo.com/large/52827fbdefce9.jpg)
This fish was taken with a Drachkovitch rig (dead fish used as a lure on a specific mount). We have take a lot of fishes of 3, 4 or 5 kg, some of 6 and 7 and one of 8 and two of more than 9 kg. A lot of them were released alive.
Sorry for any mistakes, english is not my mothertongue.

WOW!
-
yes thanks for sharing
-
Wow, what a fish!!
-
Welcome aboard Zanderlover! Awesome fish! Thank you for sharing with us.... :thumbsup:
-
Yes, thanks for sharing. Superb catch!
-
Thank you all, If you love my fishes here are some others:
My first big Zander a superb, 12.3 pounds
(http://media.joomeo.com/large/528517c888650.jpg)
And after that I have learn the drachko method and the large fishes became more common.
(http://media.joomeo.com/large/528518118edd2.jpg)
Here is my grand father with one of these fish of an incredible week (this one was sacrificed to offer to my friends).
12.7 pounds and 29.90 inches. Incredibly fat female!
And here I am with the same fish.
(http://media.joomeo.com/large/528518b64de79.jpg)
This week I have catch two specimens of 15 pounds (one released), one of 12.7, one of 14.3 pounds (release) and an enormous (unfortunately no photos) of 20.9. And a northern pike of 9.9 pounds (release).
Only with the Drachkovitch rig, the best to catch zander for me and a lot of others european fishermen.
If you want some details on this wonderfull fish you can answer to me, the zander was a real passion for me during a lot of years. ;)
-
Zanderlover, "vous etes Francais"? Or "sind Sie Deutscher"? I have never heard of the Drachkovitch mount until today. I think it would be referred to as the Drachkovitch rig instead: http://www.sovereignsuperbaits.co.uk/Accessories/Deadbait_Rigs/deadbait_rigs.html
Another linguistic note: the decimal mark is a period (.) in English, not a comma (,). For example: 14.3 pounds. I am not trying to be too pedantic but other readers might have an easier time understanding the difference in notation. :P What's the advantage of the Drachkovitch rig? Perhaps I shall send you a PM instead of high jacking this thread...
-
I'm not french but not very far from France! I am belgian. Ok for the . It is difficult for european to talk in pounds and inches, because we use metric and KG. For the Drachkovitch, I don"t have found any correct translation, than if you want to talk about a rig no problem for me.
The advantages, a lot! It is a real fish (dead), not a lure than you have a lot of sensorial stimulations, like the blood, and the smell. The other advantage, is the weight, it is a sphere of lead (untoxic) place just before the fish, than you can do a lot of animations. The movements are like a zic-zag and it is particularly efficient for zander. You will animate the fish not very far from the bottom were the zanders are. For the pikes it's easier, you will animate were you want. The best way is to put the fish on the bottom, one time, the second time animate just above and than still just under the surface.
This system is extremely easy to make, just a piece of 10 cm (3.9 inches) long in 70/100 (0.028 inches) in steel piano wire, made by a plier with rounded beak, two triple hooks, piece of coper wire (take in a electric cable) and a weight. Considerably lesser expensive than artificial fishes what are easy to loose when you animate them close from the bottom with obstacles.
Finally (but it is possible to write a book about this wonderful system), the rig is particularly efficient in vertical use, because of these zic-zag action what irritate the percomorphs (this action is not so efficient on pikes, what seem's to prefer more horizontal actions). ;)
And finally OK for talking about in PM.

Nice walleye buddy.....
-
Belge, Hein? I grew up in France. Well, thanks for the pictures and information on the Drachkovitch rig. I might have to try it for walleyes.

Nice!
