Nice fish. I think my biggest pike would look like bait compared to the ones posted so far.
-
44 1/2" #16. Early spring she was spawned out. 17" girth. Had a circle hook with f carbon leader to swivel in the corner of her mouth. Lessen here for all retye main line is it's looking frayed. Somebody lost a fish of a lifetime through the ice.

great fish guys! any of you ever eat those monsters,? do they taste ok or are they strictly catch and release?
-
CPR. Pretty big pike for the lake I was fishing in.

I ate some smaller (25''-27'' pike), and call me crazy, but I prefer it over walleye.

I have eaten a few it's good.
I use a razor blade to fillet around the bones. My family goes mad when I do poor mans lobster with them.
Boil bite size chunks in Sprite dip in melted butter yum.

Wow some really nice pike ,wish we had them here in New Brunswick

Not on ice but here's my son holding the 43.5" northern that I caught last October while we were trolling for post-spawn lake trout ... easier for him to handle as he had the gloves, and was a nice quick turnaround from the landing cradle to the photo to the release.

Hi all,
Well within a few weeks of icing my personal best pike on the 17th of March 2014, I already beat it on the 28th.

She was 42.5" X 18.9". :tipup:

If my math is right, that fish is right around the 30lb mark. Very impressive, and I have a lot of faith in the lake I think it was caught from. It was tough open water fishing this year but I plan to spend a bit of time there this winter. Wouldn't mind meeting up and shooting the sH$t sometime either.

If my math is right, that fish is right around the 30lb mark. Very impressive, and I have a lot of faith in the lake I think it was caught from. It was tough open water fishing this year but I plan to spend a bit of time there this winter. Wouldn't mind meeting up and shooting the sH$t sometime either.
;) it was caught in the lake you think it was..I believe we have met coming on and off the lake a few times, msg me anytime man.. Ill be fishing a lot this winter, thats the plan anyway ;D

Hi all,
Here are a few photos of the big un I caught on Oct.23rd/2016. at 4:29pm- in the fog! :woot:
She went for a 4" Storm wildeye live perch swimbait. It's still in her mouth.

She was 24 lbs.
After weighing her and a few photos she went back to get even bigger.

She is now my new personal best pike, and largest fish to date. ;D
A full report of the action will be found at myfishfinder A.S.A.P. ;)
