I caught this trash fish

while fishing a bass tourney at Weququet in Mass. Not sure how big it was but I think it was about 9lbs.

27" 4.5 lbs fishing for perch with a little crappie minnow on ultralight rod w/4 bl test line. That was a blast.

42" and about 20#'s. Released to catch another day. Fun battle thru the ice

Best thru the ice was 37" 14 lbs. in 1975. Caught well over 75 pike that year thru the ice from this lake and it was the only legal one..Legal size is 24"

43.5" 12.5lbs

Hood · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 11, 2005, 11:13 AM »

8 lbs or so..not sure on the length...NY of course

Pigshanks- 43.5" 12.5 pounder is awfully skinny....fish over 40 should be pushin 20 lbs.....great catch either way....hope I can get one like that some day

Bartman44 · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 11, 2005, 11:31 AM »

Biggest on was 45" caught in Quebec a number of years back but here's the biggest of 2005 caught and released in NY waters. Still looking for that 4 footer. I know it's out there with my name on it.

IceGeek · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 11, 2005, 11:54 AM »

I've never actually fished for pike, although I've caught a few incidentally while fishing for other species. Last year I caught one that was 32" on a tipdown with a 4lb. test leader....it took me at least 10 minutes to get him up through the hole. He was released to fight another day.

Lobo · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 11, 2005, 01:27 PM »

I just got back into Ice Fishing a couple years ago but caught a couple about 28 or 29" along time ago. The biggest Northern I ever cought was on a Dare Devel in the summer of 83 it was 39 1/2" about 17+ lbs. Here in Michigan of coarse.

I too have cought a few Pike while using a small minnow for Crappies on just a plain old diddle rod with 4# line, One last year was 24". Much Fun !!

I agree with you there. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the tape measure don't lie, but the crappy spring loaded scales leave a lot to be desired. Might have to invest in something a little more accurate if I'm going to weigh more fish.

39", around 18 lbs. CPR practiced. Actually, I caught it while sitting on a lay z boy in the house i grew up in at northern MN. Caught alot of pike b/t 30" and 36" like that. Just throw the tipups out and wait in the house. We had windows overlooking the lake, so I could set 'em all the way down the weedline. And you guys think you have a nice ice fishing shelter!

fishingking · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 12, 2005, 08:36 PM »

Biggest through the ice was 38" probably around 11-12lbs (was C & R The smaller ones are better eating mmmm tasty) from Lake Champlain on the vermont side. The guys I used to fish with on Champlain have gotten a few 40" pike but they ussually only run 14-15lbs,some reason they arent huge. I dont know why, theres a billion small perch and smelt in that lake.

Master Angler · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 12, 2005, 08:44 PM »

Whats with all the open water stuff? Some nice pics though. My biggest through the ice is 43" didn't weigh it. I fish Manitoba and catch a lot of 34-40 inchers through the ice.

MikePike · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 12, 2005, 09:11 PM »

15 Pound 36". I also have a 41" 22 Lb Pike on the wall, but my dad caught that

Where's "the masters" reply (TIP-UP)? That guy has def caught some monsters, capable of eating small children.

Slop · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 13, 2005, 06:52 PM »

Not sure of the length but 12 pounds is my biggest open water. Ice is 8 1/2 pounds around 30 inches...we're working on it though.
