PikeTipper Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Nice Pike guys!!! Bob_D,I see you have one of those grabbers, kinda like a gaff but it doesn't hurt the fish. How do you like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.DONA Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Bob Too funny! Those grabbers really save your hands from some toof marks!! Boga grips. I don't see them in any of your pictures on the Mn. HSOforum?? Do you guys use them, out there?? I have a less expensive Rapala I'm trying this year. Both Boga, and Rapala have scales built in them , too. Rakes don't happen often but, this is the alternative: [This message has been edited by P.DONA (edited 09-30-2004).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_D Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I live my gripper. I always have it with me while ice fishing. It does not hurt the fish and it allows me to keep the fish in the water while I'm getting cameras ready for pictures. Here is a pic on mine with a lanyard. I use the Berkley model. The Boga was a little out of my price range. I've had my Berkley for 3 years and have had no problems with it.I think they are around $30 or less. The Boga is $120 and up. I DO NOT like the Repala unit. It has some nasty teeth on it and it damages the fish. Here is a video of a little pike and me using a gripper.

PikeTipper Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Does the Berkley model have a built in scale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_D Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Yes, they have one with a digital scale for about $75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.DONA Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I was wondering about hurting the fish with the Rapala. All I lipped so far are Blues. It doesn't look to be harmed, but I never asked the fish after it swam away, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanson Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I promised myself I wouldn't post these pics again, just pics of new Pike I hope to catch this winter. Oh well, here they are one more time for you guys out east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_D Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Hanson,Nice fish. They look very healthy. As a side note....Do you guys have any problems with Esocid Lymphosarcoma out there? We have seen some on Lake Champlain, but it seems like it was better in 2004 then it was in 2003. It does not kill that many pike, but muskie can take a real beating with it.[This message has been edited by Bob_D (edited 09-30-2004).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redlantern Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 How do you post a picture? ------------------Erik Torgerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Johnson Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Erik, First off, you have to have place to put your pictures on the internet, some sort of server like Shutterfly or something like that. Once you have that and you download your picturs onto that server, you need to highlight and copy the url address of the picture. You can find that if you right click on the picture and click on properties. Once you have the url copied than go back here and post a reply. In your reply you're going to want to place that url address (from the picture) inside . So you will get something like... . Then the picture should show up. I hope this makes sense. If you have anymore questions then drop me an e-mail and I'll help you out. ------------------Good Fishin,Matt JohnsonPro Staff CoordinatorFishingMN Sponsors Matt Johnson Outdoors[email protected]Guided Ice Fishing and More...

we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Rick Posted October 1, 2004 we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Share Posted October 1, 2004 Nice fish Joe,Upper Red Lake and Mille Lacs come to mind for big pike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Johnson Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Joe,Yep, Mille Lacs holds a lot of big pike. Not a bad drive from where we are. South Center Lake also has a lot of big pike too, as does Minnetonka, Rush and Big Marine Lake. All have big fish potential.------------------Good Fishin,Matt JohnsonPro Staff CoordinatorFishingMN SponsorsMatt Johnson Outdoors[email protected]Guided Ice Fishing and More...
