Awesome Pike!!! Congrats!

[Deitz Dittrich]

Thanks guys... as far as I know.. it was the largest catch and release ick for Minnesota for the decade 1990-2000.. but I could be wrong.

Plus I caught it on 8 lb test.. missed the world record by 1/2 inch I think for 8 lb line.

Exude,

That is one big pike! Nice bonus when bass fishing. I saw a picture in Musky Hunter with a guy who caught and released a 52"er out of Rainy Lake. It was really fat to. These are fish of a lifetime.

Awesome pike! 50 inches, WOW! You musta been shaking when you got her in the boat.

[Stratosman]

Jeez,

That's giant, I thought my 47'er was nice but holy dump I couldn't imagine a 50" pike. Good deal. Do you have a replica of that sucker?

[LocalGuide]

Wow!!! Nice Pike, its hard to imagine a fish that big!

Jeez, and I thought a 40" Pike was huge . I guess they do grow to 50"!

[Deitz Dittrich]

I have quite a few pictures, and have looked into getting a replica made.. but YIKES.. way expensive! like I mean WAY expensive. I have all the measurements some where too... I htink the estamated weight from its lenght and girth was about 35 lbs.. maybe a hair less?

Funniest story about it.. Some store in Ely was having a big fish contest. The prize was a free replica. I caught the fish and even had another boat whom I didn't know who watched me catch the fish sign a document on the fishes acutally lengh and girth. So I even had witnesses... Anyway, they said that they needed the fish.. and I was disqualified for releaseing the fish. Ohh well...

[DTro]

If the prize was a replica, why would ya wanna keep it?

Sounds like an Ely thing.

[Stratosman]

Yeah tell me about it, I got a replica of that 47 @ $10.00 an inch, you can do the math.
