This might be the last Ice-venture of the season.
This one was a size bigger than the 35" I got last time, so I figure it goes 37-38" with approx a 20" girth (didnt measure it)
Any weight guesstimates?

Thanks to this jerk of a pike pulling your rod down the hole, my glove got soaked when I dove into the hold to grab your reel. I think I got frostbite on my fingers because my wet gloves were crappy to begin with and then they got wet while it was cold and windy. It was all worth it for that fish though.
You forgot to mention that it took so many good runs that it got tangled in my line that was sitting 30 feet away.
