Here's my 10 year old daughter with her PB northern to date. A 31" caught trolling cranks about 15' down over 30' of water off of a weed edge. Needless to say, she was excited!

Here are my 4 from my last trip to URL. 41.5", 40", 36.5" and a 34". My wife caught the 40 and 36.5 and did a great job holding up with the pressure of me barking instructions at her. We where tolling but the super fat 36.5 she picked up while reeling in the large crankbait to check for weeds. What a rush!

This is from last summer and since i didn't get to go back up to canada this summer to try and beat this beast I figured i'd post it in here.

I chased big pike up on Lac Seul for 2 of the 5 days I was up there and didn't manage anything over 33.

Then on my last day up there jigging for walleyes this thing comes along and nips up my jig. Set it perfect, big pink gumball jig right in the corner of this fish's mouth.

it was tough to get a good measurement on him but it looked like 41-42" and absolutely built.

Thanks.

I hate to say it, but both of those fish went under the knife. My wife and I were guests at her friend's cabin and I don't know the husband that well. I wanted to release both of the fish, but he insisted that we keep them. We threw numerous 2-3 lb fish back because they were "too small" to bother with.

I didn't really know how to say that keeping big pike like that hurts the lake, without sounding like a know-it-all. Just didn't want to tick him off...

What would you have done?

    • 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.
