Personal Best Northern Pike
Caught myself a beauty of a pike this weekend. 46.25 inches, didn't weigh her but guessing just over 25 lbs.
Caught in the water somewhere here in AB  .

That's a great pike.
Hazy out on the lake.
Did she come in like a log or put up a squabble...all the big one I have caught just came in easy with only a few runs.

Caught her in shallow water in the middle of a weed patch using a subsurface rapala. It was a heck of a fight out of a kayak to try and keep her out of the weeds, probably my toughest pike battle. I was really glad I was using my new imx swimbait rod and revo toro with 50 lb braid because I was thumbing the spool and pulling hard to keep her above the weeds while she towed me around.
I got to watch the strike too which was awesome. She must have seen it from a ways off because I was just watching my lure come back and all of a sudden saw this huge fish coming cruising in from the side just open her mouth and inhale the lure. Set the hook and she went ballistic.

I wish I would have had someone to film me lol. Caught a couple other decent ones and it probably would have made some fun footage with being towed around and having a shower each time I got them close.

It would be so cool to capture a Pike like that on film. If you're interested just let me know!

I'm also on the Winifred team lol.
Congrats on the Fish!! She's a beaut!
My personal best pike came out of Winifred ... was 20 years ago though. Only 21 pounds I forget just how long but definitely wasn't 40".
