Nice fish. In 10 years, don't as why there aren't any big fish in your lake. Just look at that picture.

[abcnerdd]

Now that is a monster! Nice catch.

There can be plenty of argument to eat it and then get a replica too! If I were to harvest a big fish, that's what I'd do. IMO an uneaten harvested fish is a wasted fish.

At least you won't need toothpicks, the y-bones will work nicely. I love eating pike like that done on the grill. Yum Yum. Good catch!!!

P.S. it would also go on my wall.

The guy ate the fish?!?! Wonderful.

My statement repeated.

Awsome fish, It must have been a great fight. I know I would have to mount that monster. Great job.

Nice fish everyone. Those trout fed pike are really pigs!

[sled59]

This is my new Idaho State Record Pike. 40lbs 2ozs. Caught August 6th. 51 1/2 inches long. Yes I am eating it, delicious! By the way I didn't say it was a meal and a half, the reporter said that.

You know, I am happy that Idaho got to join the 40lb state record class. Only 2 other states in the country can say that. But, 1 fish was no just removed from the body of water. A female of that size has the potential to produce up to 1,000,000 eggs. Not to mention those are the type of fish that you want to pass along its genes to the next generation. To each his own I guess. Can't really get mad when you are complying with state fish regulations. I just wonder what type of resource would Idaho have if the Fish & Game decide to protect the larger fish. Either way nice fish...I am extremely jealous especially when I left the area 7 days after that fish was caught.

40" pig from Aug. 22. Caught on the Double Cowgirl you see bent in half in the pics, semi-slow rolled a little bit after dark, a little darker than I really expected to get bit. Found success with this technique more than once lately. Haven't gotten anything noteworthy the last couple times out since that trip, other than reaffirming that 32-35" pike will eat Mag Dawgs and DCG's, and in the case of the Dawgs bite the tails off.

Quick solo pics before unhooking in the water and releasing.

My wifes first big pike. She caught this on a rapala in central Minnesota.

[sled59]

Here is the fish.

Thanks Harvey

that pike is awesome. what a catch. good luck.

I normally fish for Bass, but caught this today. I grew up in Southern California and don't have much experience with Northerns. Is it a Northern or a Muskie?

[Nick Kuhn]

That's a northern and an awfully thin one at that. Muskies have pointed tails and have dark markings on a light background. Northern have rounded tails and white markings on a dark background.

[thatoneguy]

That would be the rare sandy northern pike. You'll notice the profusion of tan markings around the eyes, gills and fins - it almost looks like it's covered with sand - that help it to hide and ambush its prey.

[beakgeek]

"Rare Sandy Northern Pike" that was funny. I rinsed it off, made sure it recovered and swam away.

[TonyKay]

38" on the first cast of the day....gotta love it
