Wicked fish,for sure one of the fatty pike this year on the AOF!!! Way to Go!

Was thinking the same thing! You don't see too many PIKE with GIRTH that big and yet still so long! That is easily 30lbs IMO.

Nicely Done...

Slannesh, you got to head out there with Sean and his brother? Man are you ever a lucky guy for those two to put you on fish like that!

for sure! clearly those guys know how to catch big fish other than rainbows (oh yeah and I guess burbot now too...) Most people have to pay those guys to show them how to catch fish like that!! It was a good trip for sure! I have caught a lot of big pike at tobin, the bigger one would have been close to 25 pounds...not 30 plus...

Good for you for releasing them!

Some may disagree but I would bet money that is a 30lb pike.

I have caught my share of big pike and IMO what pulls that fish past the 25 lb mark is girth (right through the length of the body). I had a 27 pounder caught near me a few years ago and he was definitely smaller than that. There are quite a few pike that have length but it is that girth that adds the lbs.

Very nice Pike ..pictures can be deceptive .. length and girth would tell// i have a 49 3/4 to tip 23 inch girth 32#5 mounted (oppss).. yours are Awesome!! any Pike over 20 in my books is a beautiful Pike.. you have some great memories

Regardless of what she weighs it was a great trip and the fishing definitely made the cold and the wind worth it

I'll for sure remember those fish and the trip in general for a very long time. Glad I got some good pics out of the deal... Unfortunately now I have to find a way to catch a bigger one!
