Awesome job. Blur the background next time . I know exactly where those pics are . I don’t steal spots but other people might
-
Oh man those are some great fish - congrats....
Just got my Nils Auger back from sharpening and worked great cutting holes but mostly only let small perch through

he burned his own spot un real but nice catch

True that I've been fishing there since I was 13 I'm 62. There are those who have a degree of respect for the ice sport and some who just don't. If people rape that place now cause of its conditions that's on the people who are fishing it. I caught a 24lber out of that place 10 years ago and also put that bmf back too. I didn't have a tape measure or any way to figure out this fish what do you guys think?

How big? Certainly big enough, well done!
Truth be told, I don’t think you’ll be surrounded by people the next time you’re there simply because you posted these pics here and a few people might recognize the location.

I think it’s hilarious that some say to “black out the background” when taking a picture of a nice fish. The odds of that fish being caught in the exact same place is very low. Unless a person is trespassing on your private lake or pond- you have no right to tell someone to “blackout the background”.
Most who are posting pictures on this site are genuinely just happy to get out to enjoy the time outdoors. Catching a nice fish is a bonus. Let’s face it- very few fisherman on this site are on the Bassmaster’s tour or making any $$ fishing. AND there are no “secret spots” - for anyone who has internet access. however it’s nice to see those bigger fish put back in the hole for someone else to have a chance to enjoy.
If you are reading this- There are NO SECRET SPOTS! ( period) # truth.

Great fish! Nice work
-
Very nice fish right there. No need to blur out the spot cause it's Pike fishing! May not get a flag there the rest of the month.
-
Remdog nailed it
-
Hell of a day out on the ice! Nice fish!
-
Some quality fish there Pikeasoris, I dream of catching pike like that. Your experience shows. Glad to see someone shares the same respect for a trophy like that and letting her swim another day. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

“ May not get a flag there the rest of the month.”
Or a place to park.

Thanks guys and hope you all have a great season. I'm going out here in Ct one more time or so and then I'm off to Maine for a while to fish and hopefully do some sledding too. Be Safe

Beautiful fish

Where ya heading in ME? Going myself in a week or two, fishing and sledding. Hoping for no snow to fish, mountains of snow to sled. Never happy. @)

Well done!!!!!! Tough to beat that!!!!!

We're In Hartland Maine on Great Moose Pond. Moosehead lake is an hour and a half away to Greenville. Love the trais up there it's like your in another world that's where I get my juice. Life is short never thought I'd say that so get out there while you still can.

We have a place on Moosehead, a few miles north of town. It's a great area. Family camp is on a lake near Millinocket so we head over there from time to time. For wide open sledding, The County is the place I want to go, but I'm waiting for a new sled to be delivered. Like everything it's behind schedule. Plus the ice is getting good local so, I think we'll wait another week or two before heading up. Walter needs my attention here. :tipup:

Looks like someone had a great day on the ice. Those are some great pictures.
-
Funny because in a subsequent post you said you were headed to "the hollow" I wonder if thats just a coincidence...
Did you just complete the spot burn by connecting a name to the photos? :o
-
Great catch 🪝🪝🪝🪝
-
Great catch and a day to remember!!! Thanks for sharing. I wish some more people would be open to sharing how they did rather than expressing their frustration for not tipping your success.....Pike fishing is hit it miss all the time. I personally don’t worried about the rookie want to be’s giving a hard time about sharing a great day on the Ice! I’ve experienced this myself on this site. Keep it up!
I will be sharing my success and not so successful trips too when I get our for the first time later this week.
“Spot Burn” is for those who haven’t found a spot yet. That term is for the jealous ones.
I hope your next trip is just as good!

“Why do you care about the MA forum if you’re in Montana?“
Kind of ironic you rip someone from your high ground yet days later you sow the same seed…
-
The people that don't get it either haven't been doing it long enough for it to happen to them, or don't really care about CATCHING fish. I don't think we can change their minds. Most people have to learn things the hard way.
I will never forget the feeling of pulling into the Oxbow last year and realizing that there was not even an open spot on the ice to put 5 tips. Not a spot burn. Big place. No secret.
I could not believe the amount of people on the ice. Turned around and left.

I fish in CT too. I’ve also fished RI, NH and ME too. The states are pretty small here in New England. I knew exactly where those pike were caught from those photos. Although I don’t think it’s that bad if the pond name isn’t given. If you recognize those trees then you already know the spot anyways. It’s not like having something recognizable in the background like the Bourne Bridge or something. Now that Mr Iowa linked up the name the place will be packed this weekend.

Hey guys we got out early Wednesday morning and my Bud Mike was the man of the day same spot if anyone wants tp know.

Nice work

Another great day, glad to see you’re getting into fish! I’m hoping my outing this weekend has similar results. 😁 looking forward to seeing some of my buddy’s I haven’t fished with in a while
-
Sounds like a Salem weekend coming up. Good luck.
-
Salem CT?
-
way to go boys ! :thumbsup: :clap:
-
Nice Fish!
-
Great Job on the Hard Water. Im with you. Every day is a blessing. Grateful for every one...... esp if the fish bite. Those are some well earned choppers. Keep it up.

How are those planks holding up boys

Surprisingly I haven’t needed to take mine out from the back of My truck. The body of water Ive been fishing has been surprisingly resilient. That will most likely change by the weekend
-
Funny you say that. I took a drive by the place I’ve been fishing on Saturday night and saw a big plank sticking out of the back of a pickup bed. Three trucks parked next to each other and not a soul around. An encouraging sight!

Plenty of ice up northern parts with 10-12". Just got keep watching areas that change. Good luck.

Thanks to all. Time to get the Boat ready!
-
Nice one!
-
Nice !

That bottom picture makes me was to paint an electric guitar like a pike and jam out. Nice fish, and as for spot burning, if you aren't there first, it isn't your spot.
