Here's a couple my 5 year old caught tonight, one is 30" and the other is 26". He casts, sets the hook and reels them in all by himself. What a stud!

[mrklean]

so the fish still had the bucktail in its mouth?

[Morneau132]

Nice toothy KMR! You've got me by an inch in that lake. Still chasing those 40" plus fish. I know they're in there.

Thanks, I was going to email you but that was the only notable fish of the July 4th weekend. Other than that, my buddy and I fished sunnies with our wives. Nothing of size on the sunfish and the bass did not want to cooperate either. Sunburns were in full force though. I will be targeting the Pike more when I am up there, my brother lost a very nice fish a couple years ago and he thinks it was a big pike. He thought he was snagged at first then the fish ran on him and snapped his line. They were fishing eyes at the time.

Here's a thick 32". Took 3 strikes at a Pop-R to finally eat it.

This thing is even smaller than it looks in the net, maybe 19- took a crankbait hard-all three trebles were set- two in the bottom and one all the way through the top- I only post it because I don't think I have ever been as proud of a release as getting this little guy back in (minor surgery was required)

34" My new PB

KT, nice chunky fish!

Here are a few from this year. No weight or measurement (guessing mid to upper 30s on both) on either just quick photo and releases.

This guy was a bonus metro fish while fishing 'skis.

Bleeding from the jaw not gills, swam away strong...

heres one that was caught over the weekend. tagged fish was 36" and just short of 12# sure felt bigger when it hit. Personal best by a few inches...

I caught this pike (41 inches) on Mille Lacs Friday night. Good to be back on Fishing Minnesota again. Great fish everyone.

So my son drops his rod in the lake by accident, so we start dragging the lake trying to hook it and after about 15 minutes he gets hooked up on a weed. I tell him just give it a good yank to get it loose. He starts yanking on it and then all of a sudden his reel starts singing and his line starts heading to deep water. After a few minutes of battling we got the 32" just over 10lb. northern in the boat and needless to say he was pretty excited. We never did find his rod, he was OK with that after catching the northern though.

great story and awesome fish!

My friend hooked into this monster while trolling a small white spinner bait for crappies. Biggest pike I have seen in person to date. We didn't have a camera so we had to use our cell phones. I'm 6'2'' so this picture should indicate the size of the fish. I would say it was in the low 40's in terms of length. The head was massive. Took about 15 minutes to fight on his medium light spinning gear. She was released to fight another day.
