45" pike!

Hey everyone! Thought I'd share a some pictures of a big fatty I got this past weekend. Headed out late Sunday for a couple hours to explore some new water with a buddy. After catching a couple smaller fish I hooked into this big girl off a slowly tapering shoreline on a jerk bait. Measurements were 45X21. Looking forward to this weekend coming, best of luck to everyone on the water!

Fishing was pretty tough on those lakes for the Top50 event on the long weekend. I fished with Nadine we just cracked the Top 10 with the only 5 fish we boated. We missed a few in a the mid 30's to start our day and then finally found success in the shallows for the afternoon. Unfortunately by 3:30 we were stuck with a 39.6cm 5th fish.....

Leavon : I didn't see you at the Wharf last Sunday in Gravenhurst. Nice Pike and good luck this weekend.

Nicely done!

Beauty gator!!!!

Monster!

GPS coordinates too? Nice try dude.

Very nice. Pike are fun to catch

thanks everyone!! it was one of those fish that gets your blood pumping and your hands shaking. and around mid 20's; she was super thick

Pretty sure that's a muskellunge fish. Not a pike fish. Surprised I'm the only one to notice. And I'm not much of a fisherman. Wow.

Clearly a pike wayner

Kinda silly to be on a fishing site if you're not much of a fishermen. Perhaps you should try a hockey site

When I'm not sniping geno's and creating super model level (female) offspring, I do my part to keep waterfowl populations in check in Brant, Norfolk and Haldimand county's.

You may be the Great One, but not at identifying toothy critters.

As the legendary Al Linder would say....... " Dats a tru DONKEY "
Well done Leavon

Yeah that's a horse!

Levon your too nice of a guy to be pike fishing lol. However that's one monster ! I also like that you can truely see the size in the pic, not holding it out.

WayneGretzky99, I'm not an expert either, but here's how even fishing newbies like you and me can tell it's a pike, not a muskie:
#1 - light spots on dark background. Muskies have dark spots on light, or in some cases stripes instead of spots.
#2 - the tail. Both pike and muskies have forked tails but a muskie's tail has pointy tips while a pike's tail has rounded tips.

The number of pores under the chin might be the most reliable feature for ID but the ones I said are how you can tell from LeavonP's picture.

LeavonP, awesome catch. Without giving away your lake can you tell us what general area it's from? I'm guessing Muskoka from the conversation on the thread?

Stevie Wonder could tell that it's a Pike not a Muskie.

Holy chit Levon that's one beauty PIKE fella, good job! Those are definitely the ones that make the blood pump, hardly ever forget the fight with ones of that calibre

I am soooo jealous,nice catch bro...that things got girth for sure..

Thats awesome dude! Still looking for one of that caliber for myself...lol :)

nice fattie, the only similarity that thing has to a muskie is the measurements!

lockNess monster you got there
