Northern Pike Photo Gallery

[Lucius]

that is a nice water wolf mstark83. To change it up a bit have any of you ever seen these pictures of the huge Italy pike?

This first one maxed out his 55lb scale

and he caught another 1 but it was not quit as big at 53lbs

Also the estimated 70" pike from Canada

I know you fly fisherman will love this one. This guy caught a 53.25" pike on a fly rod. Weighted 45.5 lbs caught in 2006.

the article for further evidence

I have yet to catch a true trophy myself. I caught a 41.5" in Canada about 10 years ago but it was only about 17lbs or so (I will post later). Curious on peoples' thoughts.

roughfish....she was fine.

those pike over seas can get huge.

[roughfish29]

ok, i'm glad to hear that

[Lucius]

Craigums - what was the specs on that pike? where did you catch him at if you don't mind me asking?

the pike that was caught with the fly rod was Caught in Colorado

[Craigums]

Lucius, I don't know what the measurements were. I was bass fishing and my bump board only goes to 28 inches, this fish was much longer than that. It was on a 1000+ acre East Central lake. I let the fish go asap, I could tell he was really tired from the battle

[Lucius]

Good Man. That is a bonus of going bass fishing, is you will sometimes get a surprise with a nice toothy critter.

My pb, 35" hit a 16" northern that hit a Zip lure. It must have went after the small one right when it hit the lure because the first thing i felt was this one. totaled 3 fish in the boat on that cast, as a silver lamprey was attached to it. C&R after a few quick photos.

35"er-not my biggest, but definitely my most beautiful! And no, it's not a muskie or hybrid. It had 10 pores on the bottom jaw and there's no record of any muskies ever in this lake. According to the lodge operator these markings are becoming more common. Everyone he's talked to, including biologists who've studied them say it is a northern pike. I also caught a 21"er like this a few years ago, and there's a pic of a 43"er hanging in the lodge. I hope to get a replica made sometime when I got the $.

very interesting and very beautiful

[Lucius]

That is a crazy looking Esox!! Beautiful Colors for sure. Ts128, that is an interesting story. I hope I will catch pike or muskie that way some day.

[roughfish29]

well i got a couple today...

i got this one on a mepps aglia while i was trying to find some brown trout

and this one hit a blade-dancer while i was actually targeting pike

[CrowRiverRat83]

Wow, both very quality fish. Especially out of that small of a river! They both look very well fed also.

[roughfish29]

thanks!

the smaller one was one of the fattest pike i've ever caught....the picture just doesn't do it justice

[Lucius]

those are some nice little pike. what color blade dancer were you using and what size? I know the pike up here in washington state like blade dancers. I lost a pike almost this exact same size (no leader) to a white 3/4 oz blade dancer with a skirt

[roughfish29]

sorry...... i have no idea

[mrklean]

nice looking pike

[Lucius]

Thanks mrklean. I was definitely excited. I was also please about it being the middle of the day on a Saturday and only seeing about 5 boats all day that day!!

[bmp78]

I was able to catch this 38 incher yesterday. Great looking fish guys and gals.

[Lucius]

Nice pike bmp78. Where did you catch that beauty? What did you catch her on!!?

[bmp78]

I caught it on Mille Lacs using a Bull Dawg muskie fishing. This fish put up quite a fight.

[Lucius]

congrats again on the nice pike!!

[Lucius]

Have any of you seen this report about the possible world record Northern Pike being caught in Poland recently. Apparently it was 61" long and 63lbs 14 oz. Check it out!!

here is the link

Unless that guy is freakishly tall there's no way that fish is 60 lbs. That fish looks much closer to half that weight.

[roughfish29]

i agree, its a beast of a pike, but i wouldn't say 61"
