Caught these 2 pike within an hour of each other a couple of weeks ago

I don't post much on Iceshanty, but figured i would.  Went fishing 2 Saturdays ago at a good pike lake in Colorado and got these 2 within 60 mins of each other.   I've tried and tried for pike for a few years now, and now that I'm finally getting a good method of fishing for em down, wow I love it.  I'll never go after another fish like I do pike ever again. 

These 2 were released along with every other pike I've caught this ice season. 




What an amazing fish species.  They're a blast to catch and bring up.  Even better when released to fight another day and most importantly spread their genes.

Nice fish,slimer! Nice scenery also.

Nice pike! Thats awesome that you let them go because what you said is true. The moutains are nice also but to bad you photo shoped them in. Good work tho. What part of Co?

[FondoFishin]

Awesome fish! and I hope you know how lucky you are to be able to catch nice fish in such a beautiful setting. The background in that second picture makes me jealous.

[Chevelle]

Wow he is not standing there with a back ground like that behind him. Come on people look at the 2ed pic and notice how blocky his hair is and around his shoulders the trees do not meet up lol it is defnatley a photo shoped pic!!!

Yes the pics are chopped, but the original shot has some nice mountains in the background - that would make the location easy to figure out.  Sorry, can't give out the location.  In Colorado in most waters, there is no limit or restriction on pike harvesting due to the folks that love to catch trout.  Public forum...

  Yes the orignal shot is very nice looking. You cant say if its in north eastren CO?

Congrats!  What gorgeous pike! 

Also really appreciate your APPRECIATION of Pike!
Far too many fishermen are ignorant about them and disdain them.
I've been fishing for pike for over 50 years! Ever since childhood trips with my parents
to Ontario every summer, but I've never caught one through the ice!
Must be a hoot!!!
