Northwest Fishing Reports

You hit that 200 mark pike supremacist? Only 147 days until Canada baby!!! Or if you prefer:

12,700,800 seconds
211,680 minutes
3528 hours
147 days
21 weeks
40.27% of 2017

I'm touched. I see you're counting the weeks, days, minutes, hours and seconds until you have the pleasure of spending 6 glorious days, with the Packernut and myself.

Hang in there little fella, it'll be here before you know it.

Damn your good! You know me so well!

You didn't answer my first question on if you hit the 200 mark?

I released #199 on my last trip and never made it back out.

Looking back at my records, I caught 11 pike in 'Merica this year, plus 1 I didn't write down but got a leader touch on. That gives me 12 fish caught in Idaho for the year. The last one I caught is pictured, a 38" fish that weighed 15.3 lbs by my scale that was released in good condition. It came in 39 degree water on 11/27/16 and was a real nice way to end the year. My daughter was pretty excited to see that one!

Oh, and I believe it's common knowledge that Canadian pike don't count. Those 189 fish were fun, though! The stories are true about plentiful pike north of the border, and I even had to swallow my pride and throw a lot of spoons. Good luck in 2017!

That certainly was a great way to end the year. Hope to see you on the water a little more this year.
