A new way to catch BIG pike...


Recommended Posts

that is the exact reason why I hate early season fishing (before musky opener) every time I am putting back a crappie I just picture a big musky taking his revenge on my hand crazy.gif am I the only one with this concern? Have any of you guys had this happen to you?

Personally I've never had it happen, but I too have thought about it.

I know a gentleman who likes to fish for northerns while canoeing the BWCA. Told me a story about how one day back in the 70's the northerns were so aggressive that he and his friend felt the need to remove their watches for fear that a big northern might take a swipe at their wrists.

I have had them follow pike to the boat or stalk the prop on my trolling motor. Although I have never tried to get them to chomp on something I was holding, that is like putting your hand in the garbage disposal. confused.gif

When I was a Kid I had just released a 22" Pike on a small ELy Lake, it wasn't in the best of shape and just as I gave it a little push a GIANT pike came out of nowhere and grabbed the fish an inch from my hand and just took off under the boat. To this day about the craziest thing I have ever seen.

How goofy is that? Thats like tying a porkchop around your neck and getting into a cage with a fighting pitbull!

I seen a winter caught pike, a he11 of alot smaller then that one, latch onto one of my fishing partners, got both of his hands in one swift bite and we could not get that pike to let go!

We tried pulling his jaws apart, prying them open with the handle of an ice scoop, finally I had to run up to the truck and get a pair of pliers and we literally had to break his jaws apart to get him off!

I've heard that pike have an anticoagulent in their mouths and once they get you bleeding, it doesn't stop real quick and the way that guy was bleeding, I believe it! His hands looked like he had been cut up with a razor blade!
