we have iced many fish up to just over 20# this ice season. I even had one in the hole that who knows how heavy it was? 30-40#.....I'll never know. Pike have been anywhere from 13"-46". Average fish has run 30" and fat.

This is my first season Pike fishing, I have wanted to do it for years but no lakes in my area held Pike. But with this years move to Kingston Im surrounded by Pike waters. Not a ton of luck so far but here are a few of mine

The First Ever Pike..Tip-Up (25 Inches)

He didnt want to let go of my glove

A little guy who broke my St.Croix UL while jigging for Gills

My 3rd Pike another little guy on a Tip-up

4th Pike (20 inches) once again while jigging for Gills, i saw this guy come up and switched up rods

And a few close ups

The only pike pic I've seen posted on this is one that doesn't appear to be near 20 pounds as claimed, and held out at arms length in front of the camera.

Nice fish on here guys...pics say it all, especially when there's no "trickery" tried as the pic is being taken......Esox

Another "nice" comment, but pics are being posted by most and some are just talking about the pike they have iced...or nearly iced......

Kyle_ · « **Reply #16 on:** Mar 03, 2006, 03:49 PM »

there average pike is 30 inches and fat although they are posting pictures of MONSTER fish like this

i dont get

esox slayer · « **Reply #17 on:** Mar 03, 2006, 04:16 PM »

Thats what I mean..one guy talks about an "almost 30" another one says it was 30 maybe even 40....and I checked the pics they had posted of a nice pike and in all my years I've never seen a 20 that small....but the "pond" they fish are chock full of 20#ers plus.....you've got me...I think the thinner air up there might be making those 2 delusional.....

billybono · « **Reply #18 on:** Mar 03, 2006, 04:18 PM »

a 20 pound pike should be 42 inches or better imho

billybono

esox slayer · « **Reply #19 on:** Mar 03, 2006, 04:26 PM »

BB...if you get time..go check that link they posted and see if that looks like a 20#er to you...sure doesn't to me......

IceTroll · « **Reply #20 on:** Mar 03, 2006, 09:50 PM »

The 22 lb Northern we caught in Peck this year was right at 43 inches. There is a picture of a 21 and 22 lb Pike in my Peck picture post. The bigger fish, the photo doesnt do him justice. My point is I agree wholeheartedly with billybono. Except in rare cases, a 20 plus pound Pike should average around 40 inches or just over. I looked at that photo Esox, the one where iceintheveins is making a funny face. It could be 20 I suppose. Its sometimes hard to gauge the true size of a fish from a photo, but I would guess high teens for that fish.

billybono · « **Reply #21 on:** Mar 03, 2006, 09:54 PM »

and icetroll has actually handled a 20 pounder.....i however have not

someday...thats what gets me up at 3 am to fish

Heres my personal best pike, caught last saturday...ontop of the tape it was 38.5 and above it was 37.5 so we'll call it 38" and it only weighed 13.5lbs

IceTroll · « **Reply #23 on:** Mar 05, 2006, 03:51 AM »

Once Pike reach a certain size they add girth much faster than they add length so your 38 inch fish being 13 to 14 lbs does not surprise me airmancam. Nice fish. That is one to be proud of. Looks like the weather was a tad frosty also.

Tip-Up · « **Reply #24 on:** Mar 05, 2006, 06:14 PM »

Nice colors on this one. (released)

esox slayer · « **Reply #25 on:** Mar 05, 2006, 06:20 PM »

tip up, did you get a weight on that fish?? VERY nice fish......Esox...

Tip-Up · « **Reply #26 on:** Mar 05, 2006, 06:41 PM »

I think that one was about 40"/20 lbs. Can't remember exactly. Not so big but I always thought she was pretty.

Here's a bigger one....46"/25 lbs. (released)

esox slayer · « **Reply #27 on:** Mar 05, 2006, 06:46 PM »

You don't need a fishing partner up there in Winnipeg, do you??? Nice fish....man, if I ever hooked into something that big......

Just curious.......do you use steel leaders??? (Grump knows why I'm asking this question)...thanks, Esox

Tip-Up · « **Reply #28 on:** Mar 05, 2006, 07:04 PM »

Esox - give me a call anytime your up this way.

I use 25 lb. braided dacron line....barrel swivel....36" 40 lb. mono leader....barrel swivel....18" 30 lb. wire quickstrike. Next weekend I'm going to try a new quickstrike that IceTroll made up for me. It's a thin single strand wire material and looks awesome. Can't wait to try it.

esox slayer · « **Reply #29 on:** Mar 05, 2006, 07:08 PM »

Well...whatever you're using...you've got the pics to prove your catching them.....I'm very impressed..those are a once in a lifetime fish for me down here....some day...some day.......thanks for sharing...Esox

Good luck with the new rigs..let us know how you do....
