A couple local younger guys were really after me this year to get them on some pike. I told them their best chance was the last week of the season. Both of them ended up getting their biggest pike yet, one of which beat his personal best both days. The first day, he caught an 18lber, and the second iced one that went 22.8lbs. The other guys was not so lucky, as we lost one of his that was 40"+ at the hole due to a poor hook set. He still caught a nice 13lber, that was his biggest fish yet. Overall, it was a pretty amazing two days pike fishing.

If you must know, the only reason it was there was so I could reach down with the handle to get the line out of the groove the friction makes on the underside of the ice. I do not gaff any fish. I do not fish with people who gaff fish.

Sure it wasn't a tiger :)? That lake never ceases to amaze me. The lakers can be tough without the right expensive equipment once the water warms up. I usually get into a few good ones through the ice.

wasnt a tiger,we lost him cause he wouldnt fit in the net!!!!!when he flipped out he just layed there for a bit,so i got a good look at him.you can catch lakers fairly easy in the spring,but once the water warms and they start heading deep,its all over.pike are a little easier to target and find then lakers in the summer.

We release all of our northerns. Although we did get one this year that didnt make it got wrapped around a stump as normal and by the time we got her off the stump she had injured herself unfortunatly. But, she was 48" and in the upper 20's/low 30's in weight so she is going on my buddies wall

I have not, but location for particular times of year is key. Let me know when you plan to head up there next season and I'd be happy to help. Also, yes, there are big pike in there.
