we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Rick Posted February 4, 2014 we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Share Posted February 4, 2014 This state record sized northern pike measured 45" long and had a 27.5" girth. As sized would beat the current Nebraska state record northern pike by over 2 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pikerliker Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 How many people who normally turn thier noses up at a pike would love to catch that monster. That is exactly why you should let the bigger ones go and keep the hammer handles!! What a beauty!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solbes Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Thats about my dream fish right there. And to successfully squeeze it through an 8" hole is quite impressive. Very nice to see a released record fish. I wish that happened more often.It's not a he, but a she! And although an older fish, I doubt she was more than 12-15 years old. Pike usually grow quickly once they are able to eat the larger fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
