May I ask what lake you caught these at?

[AlbertaOutdoorsmen19]

Thanks everyone, I'm up in northern Manitoba for the summer, Fishing Lake Athapapuskow. It's an amazing fishery.

Atta boy Aaron! Great fish, but hey don't use up all your good luck in Flin Flon, I expect you to save a little for the AYA coming up. See you soon...have a good trip!

Nice couple of bruisers there. What did you catch em on, and how deep of water?

Also, how do you hold the fish like that? I know you brace it with one hand under its belly, but can you explain to me how you hold its face/head like you are?

I caught an 11 pounder and there was no way I was gonna try picking it up out of the water, I couldn't even imagine doing it with the pigs you have but you make it look easy.

Hahah thanks Steve, Looking forward to pounding some Walleyes next week :character0053:.

AI87: I caught them on crankbaits in 12-16ft of water. About holding them, I just carefully put two fingers under the gills till they stop near the front of the fishes mouth, But its important not to touch the gill itself, and lift with both hands. The only way to get it is by practicing!

Awesome pictures AO19! You should be proud. Probably had a good fight, huh?

I'm still waiting for my 42 inch pike!

[AlbertaOutdoorsmen19]

Outdoor Fever: I am proud of myself if I must say so, My third pike over 40 inches :). Hahah yeah they really test out your drag, It's like reeling in a giant rock!. You'll find your 42, Just keep fishing in putting in the time and your hog will come!

Buddy those are some nice mashers sweet stuff man nuttin beats a big jack

[Drano]

keep up the good fishing enjoy your summer on the lake/

[LeonH]

Nice.

Were they fighting hard when you hooked into them?

[AlbertaOutdoorsmen19]

Leon: They hit your bait quite hard, and they usually just stay on the bottom until they want to take a long run, Then you've gotta hang on!! It really tests how good your drag is. I use a 6 1/2 ft casting rod, and 20lb Fireline for Pike, So it's a pretty strong setup, but on spinning gear with 8lb mono, That is really really fun!
