Still working towards that 20lb mark

[Geezle]

But I'm getting closer!

Got a late start to the day and met up with a couple other forum members on Wab yesterday. I showed up around noon and got a couple decent pike within a short period of time, and then it really slowed down for the afternoon. Pikehunter1989 and I ended the day with a double header that was quite the adventure as well. Overall a pretty good day out there :)

So here's my big one of the day. The others hadn't come over to where I was fishing yet, so I had to settle for just a quick pic on the ground with the shovel for size reference.

But what I really want is the fish that tried to take a bite out of this guy! Poor bugger, this wound was still kinda bloody and in the process of healing.

I hope so bud!

And just for the record, there's enough ice now that if you have to go shoulder deep to try to turn a fish, unless you've got yeti arms it's probably not going to work! And that water's cold!! :sHa_sarcasticlol:

Nice fish Jay, maybe the bucket brigade dumped some Orcas in Wab :bad_boys_20:

Maybe...that was a pretty good sized wound on a decent sized (8ish lb) fish!

[WayneChristie]

yah Ive caught a few around that size with bites out of them, I really want to get the biter myself! wonder where I can find 8 pound bait :thinking-006: wonder if skinned coyotes are legal in Alberta? :sHa_sarcasticlol:

Nice one Jay. Must be a river monster that took a bite out of your fish.

Nice pike.

[mooseknuckle]

Nice work boys!! Those pike are ruthless hey? You have to wonder what size of pike decided on trying to make an 8lbrr a meal.

[PERCHY]

You'll get your 20 if you keep fishin like that......way to go!!!!!!!!!

[Adam West]

Hey there, new to the forum. I was the grey gmc with the red Eskimo hut beside you guys on wab on Sunday. Managed to ice one pike, maybe 5 lbs. Heard you guys had a few good ones there!

Nice fish!!
And I was the one who took a bite out of that fish, threw him back in after

:scared0018:

[Dust1n]

Good Pike! :)

[tacklerunner]

It seems like you get the big one when you least expect it. The action slows down a bit, you're wondering what happened and then bang! Sometimes when things just die suddenly, it's because the smaller fish don't want to end up scarred or worse like your 8 lber so they evacuate the area when there's a predator near.
