BIG PIKE through the ice!!!(pics)
 

So me and a few friends decided to head up to central Alberta this weekend to see if we could get our hands on some BIG PIKE and well at least one of us did and maybe the odd burbot. We managed to get 9 fish all pike not the best day thats for sure but not the worst either, 3 were keepers the rest were under the limit but we only kept one of the keepers cause the other ones were just too big to keep. I managed to hook both big ones, one was 35 1/2 inches and the other was 33inches, and i just bought some new tip-ups and i christened them both with big fish so that was a bonus.Plus i also got my first pike on my trout ice fishing rod [&:](need to get myself some big game ice rods for sure), wow what a battle and a half and it wasnt even legal size, sure glade it wasnt one of the big guys:D:D

35 1/2 incher

how much did they way

I caught a 40 incher but it only weighed 12 pounds and it barely had a stomach. If I had to guess Iwould say anywhere between 14-18 pounds

Well we didnt have the scale near by and i wanted to get them in the water ASAP so i figure the 35 1/2 incher was about 17-18lbs and the 33incher was about 14-15lbs

It looks like some great fishing you have going on there lethal, we do not have very much in the line of pike. We do have some big lake trout if you are lucky enough to hook into them though, Congrats!

I like catching big pike through the ice, but I don't think it compares at allto early spring fishing when they're in really shallow and you're twitching a big Sluggo....ohhh....getting all excited :DOh, by the way, congrats :)
