pike fishing with kids....

[CALVINIST]

I went to fannie lake in Cambridge with my brother and our kids today to see if we could catch some nice pike on tipups. We decided to have a contest to see who could catch the biggest pike. We got to the lake around noon...

Here's everyone gathering on the ice while the tipups get set up...

It didn't take long before my brother's son Ryan caught the first pike...

Soon after he caught that Ryan came through again and caught this 29" log...

While Ryan was messing around with that pike, my son Lucas gets a flag and pulls up this 27.5" pike...

The action was fast for that first hour. Here's some more pics..

Flag up!!!

Mitch getting slimy...

Things slowed down after that first hour, but a couple hours later my daughter Genna gets a flag and pulls out the biggest pike of the day @ 29.5"!

Had a great time on the ice! Gotta love those smiles, eh?

Very cool, thanks Cal!!!

Cool thing here, a lake most of us have likely never heard of! Lot's of questions lately about where to go for pike, it's not just the "big name" lakes that will give you a good time!

That lake is filled with potato chip crappies, that's why all the fat gaters in there!
