This pike was 17lbs 12oz and I believe it's the biggest I've caught.



I did catch a sturgeon that we did not weigh it was 41" so it may be in the same range as the pike but who knows. Fishing for 25+ years and I'm yet to get anything over 20lbs but I'm cool with that they are all fun!!

bet I know at least 12 lakes around here with pike that big probably more. and dont count out the rivers, seen a 35 pounder come from the Bow.
My PB so far is 22 pounds 7 ounce for pike and about 35 for my sturgeon, pics of both already in the forum. MK I weighed a 41 and it was 11 pounds, but theres more weird stuff for them to eat in your river so they seem to be a bit heavier.

Caught a Wahoo down in St. Lucia. No weight but figured around 40 lbs.

Am yet to catch a big one here. Biggest would be my Pike from Wabamun this summer, somewhere around 8-10 lbs.

I havn't caught anything amazing yet unfortunately. I've barely broken 10lbs and it was a pike , so its nothing special.

I have seen some massive fish hauled in while im fishing with someone else though the best are never mine! I love the experience and its nice catching a couple fish at the same time !

Well here's a 41 inch steelhead that I caught for broodstock a few years back. I've had a couple others around that size as well, they were probably in the low 20lb range. Here's another pic of a 20+ that was released

I'll try to find a pic or two of a couple of bigger sturgeon.
