Yet another spawner kept. We NEED to create some sort of slot. Nice catch though.

According to F+W pike spawn at 4 years of age.The only difference is quanity of eggs at that age they're all spawners......................Harold

I see that on this forum it's starting every time someone post a pic of a "LEGALY" caught fish someone has to take a cheap shot?? Good fish and thanks for posting your pics.

No cheap shot intended. Conservation wise, we need to be keeping the 25 ish inch range fish for eating and releasing the bigger ones.

The poor kid has been bashed pretty hard the past couple months from shooting a porcupine to keeping a decent sized fish. Lay off the guy. Nothing wrong with keeping a fish. It's legal isn't it? It may not be the best thing to do but we are not all catch and release fisherman and nothin wrong with killin a legal fish to fry up.

Couldnt agree more. but its tough to give someone sh*t for keeping a fish they are legaly allowed to keep, till our goverment wakes up and creates some kind of a slot limit even if they let you keep the real big ones still. maybe you throw back the 10 to 16 lbers which are the majority of the big fish being caught and kept. just my 2 cents, but none the less Nice Catch.

Well said gord oats,if its legal whats the problem.That would be up to F&W to change regulations not a couple of individuals on here that dont agree

Great Fish Moosehunter And Cousin, Those Must Of Been Fun To Haul Thru The Ice , Always Great Seeing Your Photos, Dont Worry About These All Knowing Fish Guys Nothing Wrong With Keeping The Odd Fish To Cook And Eat , As Far As I Care Pike Tastes Better Then Any Turkey. Keep Up The Great Fishing We All Enjoy Your Photos.

good job on your Largest Fish ever.
For those of you who feel that keeping it is wrong instead of telling some young outdoorsman its wrong to keep the largest fish he has ever caught I suggest you tell the fish and wildlife Biologist's.
For all the abuse this kid has taken from some of you all I can say is he has a tuff skin to keep coming back and sharing his success's with us. He is a true outdoorsman and welcome in my camp anytime.
For some who think we should be keeping the 25 inchers in a lot of lakes 63cm(24 5/8 " approx) is the size limit and nothing less than that is legal so anything bigger is a well deserved keeper. Yes a lot release them and that is good. But for those who keep and eat the bigger ones thats fine too. You don't have to like that fact. But trying to force your morals on someone else is a bigger sin than keeping the fish. imho

Pioneer2 · #12 03-23-2008, 05:15 PM

Yes I'm sure when they're hunting they also leave the 160 class and larger bucks for seed taking just the forkhorns and spikes...............Harold

Oh Tundrabuck you're just hilarious, you should apply to be on the comedy network im rolling on the floor laughing.

That is one big " Ukranian Mermaid" Buddy! ( It's Ok, my Wife is a Ukranian ). Don't let these guys give you hard of a time. I tend to put the bigger ones back ( less work cleaning and they do hold the gene's to make more Big fish )BUT IF IT'S your biggest fish ever, why not? In fact with all that Pike meat to eat it will be awhile till you have Harvest another! Again great job! Keep those Pics coming!
Ps: I am very jealous that you get to spend so much time outdoors having fun!!!
your a lucky guy!

Roebag · #16 03-23-2008, 07:57 PM

Congrats on your pike!

How do you guys usually cook your pike?
I like mine totally deboned, floured, egged, then breaded and baked.
Fillets off of a 10-15 lb'er are best for this

This is irrelevant. You can't compare deer conservation to fisheries conservation.

No, not at all. I have caught much larger pike than that, and many years ago caught a 47 inch pike up at Reindeer Lake.

BBJTKLE&FISHINGADVENTURES · #20 03-23-2008, 08:23 PM

uh right on got any pictures hahaha im just kidding , I see alot of b.s. on these forums , but its all good .

Pioneer2 · #21 03-23-2008, 08:43 PM

How praytell is a fish gene pool different from a mammals? Biggest ,strongest most fit sounds a lot like natural selection to me .Would not all fish in a med-small lake share the same genes?No different than all the deer if confined in a same sized area most certainly would be.Pike have been recorded to have swam over 30 miles to spawn.Large lakes would be more diversified....................Slave Lake or the Great Lakes for instance........Harold *I don't mind polite debate .I may learn something I didn't know

And I think thats what this is about. I think with many peoples different inputs we should be able to come up with some sort of plan to present to SRD.

John I do have pictures in my photo album, this was from 1982 though. I will try and use the scanner at work when I go back (May) and put a bunch of my photos up. I need to buy a digital camera badly.

Great fish and I bet it was a heck of a fight. Good on you for getting outside and sharing your stories with us.

Right on. I'd say my late twenties to mid thirties were the best times of my life, lots of good times camping hunting and fishing. I remember one year I got my sheep, moose, elk, whitetail, mule deer and more grouse and ptarmigan than you can shake a stick at. SO much meat I was able to share with my friends and family.

Donny Bear · #29 03-23-2008, 09:33 PM
