Got this yesterday.

WE got this guy yesterday in clear lake :)! 24 pounds and 39 inches. just a beefy fish. Unfortunatly he swallowed the rapala and we had to keep him because he was bleeding bad. However, we took him home and deboned him and had some great breaded fish. it was tender moist and flaky.. didn't taste like a jack at all.. 11 pounds of boneless fillets :)

Nice fish!

I am planning a trip out to clear and was wondering if they are shallow or deeper, what types of lures have had success on?

Thanks.

Nice looking fish for sure, tough to anything with them when they are hooked that bad...Glad he was tasty..

[walleyechaser]

Congrats on a very nice fish.

thanks guys. Caught him on a 6 inch blue and orange floating rap. Just kept it moving across the weeds with a small split shot on it to keep it below the surface.

nice fish!
but I think you just pulled the last pike in clear lol

[gprime27]

I doubt that . There's more in there than that :) We had no choice. he would have went back if we did.

?.. were you boat/shore fishing, and do you mind saying where on the lake?
thanks

[gprime27]

about a mile north of the rock jetteson. just off the weeds in a row boat of all things

Ive seen a pike in a canoe, but never in a rowboat! :sHa_sarcasticlol:
Nice fish congratulations

I highly doubt that was the only big one as well. There's still at least one more that's attached to jts1's ice rod :lol:

[gprime27]

Lots of work getting him in with that there rowboat but worth it :).

[BigRackLover]

what an ugly fish - congrats.

[timsesink]

great fish and man what a fatty!

[gprime27]

thanks guys.. Yes short and fat.. and barely fought.. right down to the weeds took 10 minutes to get him out and on shore

[outdoors forever]

HOLY FRICK!
Look at the stubby snout on that sewer trout!
Awesome fish, man, congrats.
I love catching those old pike. I caught one that was 9 pound 33 inch at Snipe last week - has nothing on your burly pike, but still fun for sure. :)
