Well this pike starts with a palne ticket to New Mexico so that my younger brother and myself could pack up my parents house and load it all into a U-haul and move them back to Minnesota well we drove the U-haul back it took 22 hours and we arived back to my house on sunday morning about 11:45am when my bro dropped me off. I thought that if I go to bed now I'l wake up at midnight and will be useless at work the next day. so I decided to hit the spear shack hoping not to fall asleep. I was out there for about an hour and a half when I looked down and right between my legs was this pike staring at my decoy minnow and the decoy was getting nervous. you know when the fins and tail start to do that eradic movement. I didn't think this pike was as big as it is and thought to myself this is only about an 8lber and was going to pass on it, until the pike flared open its gills and mouth, then was just about to smack the decoy with the thrust of a missle thats when it hit me this is the biggest pike that I had ever seen spearing and grabbed the spear and stuck it with out letting go of the spear as it was only 2 foot under the ice in 10 fow. man did it thrash about and then pulled it up the hole and it was like it did't stop comming out the water. I kicked the door open and tossed it out then a bunch of guys came running over to check it out. There was about thirty guys fihing on the ice that day.A friend was out there and had a scale and he took some pics on a despossable camera and I still havent seen those. I had no camera and got pics at home but didnt want to post those as they weren't in the enviroment that I had got it so its been a long wait to show off this beauty to you guys.

The Pike went 18 pounds 14 oz and measureded in at 40 1/8 inches the tail was pretty beat up but it gives it character.

needless to say I still didnt get much sleep that night and all I could think about was getting back out in the spear shack much like now!

Spearing is one of those activities where a lot can happen in a short time, or nothing can happen over a long period of time - its kind of like deer hunting that way and is one the things I most love about spearing. Some days you sit and sit for hours without seeing as much as a minnow and other times you see fish coming in from every direction in every size!

Now you are going to have to get a decoy minnow mounted to make it totally realistic!!! grin.gif

merkman thats what my taxidermist was supposed to do but he didnt read his own foot note on the invoice that he wrote up for the fish so I will have to wait until I can afford it or get a sucker decoy made.
