Awesome day of pike fishing with pics!


Recommended Posts

Wow.....that's all I can say about today. Here's the story... Me and a friend of mine (Brian Jones) decided to take a day trip to Upper Red lake for some pike fishing. This is the second time we've targeted pike on URL. We set a goal for the day: One of us had to catch a new personal best pike. Mine was 41.25" from last years trip to Red and Brian's was 38.5" from Cass. We broke personal best's three times today. Total for today: 35.5", 36.5", 38", 40", 41.75", 42.5". We also lost a couple. By far the best day of pike fishing I've ever had. We caught new personal best's 10 minutes apart! All the fish were released after some exciting battles. I think I'm still smiling! Here's the pictures of the fish in the order they were caught in with some info on them:

Nice job guys. When a guy gets into those URL windows it really can be crazy.

Funny thing is only one or two boats on the lake lately. Most of us guides in the area are bear hunting, walleyes have been slow to the point we don't even have a single pound on this months creel survey and the pike should be slow but every now and then a hat trick happens.

MT, nice fish and congrats on the awsome day.

I heard the fish are just starting to go on the lake you wanted me to take you and Brian out on. Should be in full swing within a couple weeks. Drop me a line when your thinking of heading down this way.

For now, off to S.D. for some pheasant hunting. Fri thru tue.

    • 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.
