AMAZING night at Wabamun!!!!!!!
Day started off EXTREMELY slow, hit the water at 5pm, fished solid till 9pm.
At about 8:45 I hooked into this bad boy,... 100cm and about 15lbs.
Right after I released that big guy, and got more pictures of him ofc, I hooked into this big boy:
More pictures to come!
Btw, last one was 44", didn't have a scale, but was at least 20 lbs.

looks like you had a great day. don't blame you for not answering those rookie questions espessially the one about how many you kept. my only question is how can such a winning fisherman wear such a loser teams hat and t-shirt. lol.

Pics vs length are like night and day. 44" pike in my books equals a 20lb pike and I'd call it nothing less!
Looks like a great day and hope you have many-many more.

LOL....who cares??
The OP admitted he had no scale....the fish looks like a healthy 44inches...
Why can't people just say, "nice fish!" ???
Jealousy is the one reason I can understand...

As LC said, I did not have a scale, but the tape measure we have on the bench of our boat is 40", and his tail exceeded the board by a good 3 inches, non pinched.
Went online to a pike weight/length calc, and it said the fish was 30 lbs... And I'm saying he was probably 20 lbs.
Bash all you want, but jealousy is a stinky cologne.

i agree a twenty pound pike is at least 44 to 48 inches. your tape only goes to 38" and that is the total length of the fish. I would say more like 12- 13 maybe?
nice try though.

That fish looks to be 14 pounds, but you could catch a 40 inch 20 pounder depending on how fat the fish it.

I agree with u for sure, but does weight count if it has a 5 pound pike in its belly? Theres no way that fish has a 5 pounder in its gut.

if a 15 pound pike has a 5 pound pike in its belly or whitefish then it would be considered to weight 20 pounds.

false. ive seen bonified 20's at 40 inces, and 46 inches at 18 lbs..... hell some river pike may be 45 inches and 15 lbs..... many factors to consider when dealing with the length/weight ratio of fish......(pike especially).
