how long was it ?

PERCHIN101 · « **Reply #6 on:** Mar 07, 2011, 12:36 PM »

I believe it was 42 inches and 24lbs. 4oz. Ive heard that the pike fishing in the summer is a waste of time myself but you couldnt put it past me on saturday... we caught over 30 fish between 8 guys and 4 were over 10lbs

FROZENGOOSE · « **Reply #7 on:** Mar 07, 2011, 12:38 PM »

ya thats what i have allways been told wonder where those gators go in the summer

PERCHIN101 · « **Reply #8 on:** Mar 07, 2011, 12:40 PM »

deepest hole in the place... or the rivers for running water

FROZENGOOSE · « **Reply #9 on:** Mar 07, 2011, 12:43 PM »

have to give that a try this year when iam camping

I catch a lot of Pike in the summer. Running water or deep water is the key as previously said. find some drop offs and weeds and you should find Pike. I've even caught them in shallow water when it's hot. Not always on big bait/lures either.

thats a sweet looking fish there nice color to it too i'm assuming it went on his wall??

PERCHIN101 · « **Reply #12 on:** Mar 07, 2011, 07:49 PM »

Anyone who didnt put that on the wall would be out of their mind... Thats a fish of a lifetime

beershanty · « **Reply #13 on:** Mar 07, 2011, 10:01 PM »

definatly the fish of a lifetime ;Dthat thing is sick look at the tail it must be 40 yrs old!!!

nice catch and hell yes that would be a wall hanger

filetandrelease · « **Reply #14 on:** Mar 08, 2011, 05:56 AM »

that is a good one fo sure

sinkergurl · « **Reply #15 on:** Mar 08, 2011, 08:13 AM »

I can't even fathom catching a fish that size

It would drag my butt into the hole for sure considering I am only 18" bigger than that fish

. Congrats to the one who put that on the ice. Big Kudos!!!

Goose they are talking about cranberry lake up north not cranberry pond near greece. Cranberry lake is probably 200 miles away from batavia.

FROZENGOOSE · « **Reply #17 on:** Mar 08, 2011, 10:48 AM »

I know bud thats where i go in the summer, beatiful lake

mpike2day · « **Reply #18 on:** Mar 08, 2011, 01:12 PM »

well i hope you hook up with a monster next time your up there. good luck.

FROZENGOOSE · « **Reply #19 on:** Mar 08, 2011, 01:27 PM »

Thanks that would be nice, i go up there for the relaxing and bull head anyway lol

eyehi · « **Reply #20 on:** Mar 08, 2011, 10:56 PM »

our group of 4 only caught 1 pike 6#. that 24# was a real beauty. That lake obviously has some giants. Law enforcement for the tournament was borderline harrassment. I have never seen so many wardens and rangers at one spot. Think of the combined salaries of all the officers at that event. what a waste of money. I will surely fish cranberry again but not sure on the derby.

i also heard they were being a little on the hard side.the guy that came over and checked us out seemed to be OK.it sure is a good way to ruin someones fundraiser thought.

I agree about ruining the fundraiser. You are right about them being nice however being checked more than once the same day is just crazy. I dont mind being checked but twice in two hours is just nuts.did you see them when you came off the ice 8 or 10 of them waiting like vultures

bushyjr · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 09, 2012, 08:07 PM »

Would love a pike like this

northernnyice · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 09, 2012, 09:01 PM »

Any big pike ever caught out of there gets killed. It's starting to go downhill

Boy is this thread a blast from the past.

adkmtnman76 · « **Reply #29 on:** Feb 10, 2012, 06:56 AM »

pike r everywhere who cares if people keep a big pike for whatever. It's fully in their rights as a fishing license holder. That's why they pay the money every year.
