View Full Version : Personal Best Pike

Went out to Wab again and caught tons of fish all day with some friends. Also caught my new personal best pike! No measurements or weights since I have a habit of getting all excited, snapping a photo, cheering and hollering:sHa_shakeshout:, then putting the fish back in the water...aaaannndd..then I realize I shoulda weighed it!
Ah well, all said and done it was a nice thick fish and looked like a shark spiraling in the water as I brought it in. Definately my personal best to date.

Ya I remember a few years ago in the pontoon I could see the fish dodging left and right as I scooted across the water. It was awesome!! and all of good size too. The plants closed now though and this spring I didnt have the same results as I did before :S bummerrrr

Nice fish BTW.

hey good to know! trout and salmon are easily distinguished between male and females but pike/walleye/perch/whites.. etc.. is there a way to tell??? hmm

We used to have to identify sex of pike at school in fish and wildlife tech.
The females have more of a bell shape and the males have a key shape hole at their anal area. Its not the hole itself but the area surrounding it. Take a look next time, I always remembers the females having the bell shape. Not sure about walleye.

Hey great catch,Fishergirl.Wab is fun again for sure.Used to fish it years ago and decided to load the boat with kids and go.They had a blast on the pike for sure.I'm thinking that we may see Wab reclaimed as a great fishery once again.I was talking to a few of the locals and a c\o.Apparently the water in Wab has never been cleaner.That spill triggered a massive cleanup in more ways than we know.Cheers
May the Fish be with You

funny i missed this thread for three days. great fish, lots of monsters being caught at wab. what brand of portable scale would members recommend using to get a fairly accurate weight. a lot of those hand held springy things just don't look reliable imo.
