tbags: I knew someone would catch that the ruler said 38" always an observant crowd on here wink.gif but she rolled onto her belly when I grabbed the camera. When I rolled her back I didn't pay attention where she sat according to the ruler. I asure you though that it's 42". Thanks captain for noticing that. I didn't think I would ever catch a pike over the 40" mark here in MN, thumbs up to the DNR and the era of catch and release smile.gif

mtreno- this is the third tagged pike I've caught this season. All where real nice 34,36,42.

First post on the board, hello everyone. I got a couple of pics of a few I caught this year. I didn't have the chance to measure or weigh any of them but each was fun to land. All were caught on the same lake this year here in the metro area...

I caught this one tonight using a Giant Jackpot. This was between 45 and 46 inches. Hard to measure with a tape. Floppy thing! Really was green when I got it on shore. River fish that was caught in current less than two feet deep. Sand bottom.

This thing swiped at it twice on the same retrieve, and on the third pause I saw the boil and my plug just vanished. Yes! I set the hook and after a very short battle I slid it up on the bank and got a couple qick pics and a quick measurement it went back!

I knew I would find you here! Good one Dan, nice fish...post the other pictures...I think they are all good!

That is one muscular looking fish, probably from fighting the current all the time.

Were you using that same Penn, hydralic reel, with the pool cue rod and the waist harness? Maybe thats why it didn't fight much? You reminder when you showed me your Muskie outfit? grin.gif

Just kidding folks, I don't even know this guy! grin.gif

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
