Cept they weren't caught in MA
Pats lives right down the road from me and is one of the nicest guys around. He lives in MA so he shares his catches with the guys in MA. For those of you that went to NH early this season, did you post in the NH forums? No, you posted here because that's where your friends are.
Well I ve fish with both Pat and Seth there NICE GUYS and dieheart pike fisheman. Captain shy is 100% correct. Congrats on the fishand enjoy,just leave me the thirty.
4 posts in a row? That's spamming.
I'm getting a chuckle out of this post and the reaction. Obviously PATS and Seth have put in some serious time over the years to find these beasts. Who the hell cares what state they caught them in. I want to see them regardless. Keep the pictures coming guys! Impressive stuff
wow How do you know they were not caught in mass?Is it because when you PM'd me and i told you the truth that they were not? Did it bother you that i did not tell you what state even though you did not ask? I did not know there was a rule that you had to tell the state they were caught in So there is a 5 year running joke about pike in browning pond and my post is misleading because i did not name the state Sorry if i misled anybody into pike fishing Mass I did a post on CT Fisherman and New England Fishing.Net and said they were CT pike so i guess i did a better job posting over there Dude you need to go out and catch some fish You want to go pike fishing in CONNECTICUT with me?
Pats, last year when I was new to the board and it was the first year I've ice fished since I was 14 I PM'ed a few of you including pikeking, pike bait, FNE asking for tips for catching pike including leaders, bait size, dead or alive bait, etc and got some good tips and info and I just wanted to say thanks and show this board can and is a helpful place for tips and other info. I know some guys dont want to give up their spots and thats understandable. There is no need for anyone to get bent out of shape. I second what pootdigity said keep the pics coming. It's good to see these impressive fish and good to hear they are being released for others to catch and to reproduce.
Before anyone else says it, I don't know JACK about catching pike. I just fish for years with my flags glued down!!
Thank you sir and your welcome PM me anytime
I wasn't posting to crap on the guy or his catch. But alot of people were lead to believe that was caught here in MA. People should really state if it was caught out of state at the very least when they post.It seems like this year more than any, that a lot of deliberate false information is being spewed on the forums. To the point now where I don't trust anything posted, except from a select few. The Browning Pond post is a great example (the same guy referenced Pats Pike was caught at Browning). I have also seen ice reports, just to check the ponds myself and find the exact opposite. Reports that could put peoples lives in danger... People come here to learn and get useful information. I would hate to see harm come to a person who went to Browning to catch a pike cause someone said they were there on 6 in of ice and got one. When in actuality its a trout pond and the ice is VERY unsafe...Im sure there are lurkers, but for every lurker we deter by giving false information there is possibly a potential new member that uses that information and has a bad experience.There really are a very few people on this site with useful information. There are so many more that are out to just deceive people to keep their spots secret that its ruining the purpose of this site.. I just hope that someone doesn't get hurt when using some of this false information.It sucks seeing the integrity of this site being butchered..Just to clarify, Pats, this is not directed at you in any way. Everything ive heard says your a stand up guy. Congrats on your catch.
I was going to take the high road on this and not respond, but if someone is going to go out on a pond this year without checking the ice because the read about a fish being caught online, then they truly need to get thier heads checked.I have more to say, but I do not want to butcher the integrity of an Ice Fishing Message Board.
LMAO
Wow that's a monster congrats Pats you always put your time in. Soon gonna see ya with the state record or what!!
