Northwest Fishing Reports

Has everyone seen these already??? I was looking at big fish lite line 's avatar and it reminded me of these. My buddy sent these to me last fall, supposedly the new Canadian record. i can't confirm that, but that's not important.......THAT FISH SCARES ME!!!. Just thought I'd share for anyone who missed out......

These pics have been going around for a couple years now. The bottom pic doesn't go with the other two either. Neither does most of the stories attached to these pics. It is a huge northern though.

+1.
These pictures have made the rounds on the internet BB's, and Deadeyemark is right. Check that bottom picture. Much different water chop and sun shining on the fish. No sun in the first two pictures...

I stumbled across those pictures 2.5-3 years ago. The bottom picture was not a part of the top 2 pictures of the huge pike. From what I read though that huge pike was caught in Holland. It is even called out as a European pike on this forum:

Have you guys ever seen the picture of the record Italy pike?



The fish was released but apparently it bottomed out his 55lb scale. http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/ ... ?p=4163040

I guess it was no one time fish for him either: http://www.fishinfo.com/fishingreports/ ... /1051.html





I also saw this article up in Manitoba Canada while on a fly-in Canadian fishing trip to Gods River Lodge back in 1999



Yet there are still pike of that size here stateside. The following was caught in Colorado of all places 53 1/4" 45.5 lb northern pike caught back in july of 2006

BOOYAH!!!!
Still want to go to Canada?....eh

Heck ya! I was looking the other night at Cedar Lake in Manitoba (where the estimated 70" pike was caught from). It sounds like it could be realatively inexpensive for a Canada Trip especially with a lot of the cost being split.

Hey I'm still down for a Canada trip!

We'll add you in as well. Pike waters in western Canada are hit and miss. For B.C.,you have to go pretty far north past Prince George but Alberta has a few lakes that are much closer to Washington.

cough, cough,....canada trip,....cough cough...(i might know someone interested)

sorry about the old pics.......i'm showing my fishing BB savvinous..... (i understand that's not a word, but it sounds good)

It's on like donkey kong. I say next summer to Cedar Lake Manitoba where they caught this hog:

Great find Lucius.
I'm game for this....We can get some plans going and hit it by next summer or late spring.
Very reasonable rates too.Can't beat that.

I just got off shift but I'll give you a call later this evening.I need to track down GF number too,I got it somewhere.
Just curious to see whos aboard...With some good planning,we could be catching some trophy northerns...eh!!!!

If it is decided that Cedar lake to too far we could go to a lake much closer in alberta. Only 600 miles or so from Kalispell Montana

I could be wrong but I believe "Diversity" is the name of an old,old wooden ship from the Civil War

Since I'm in such a festive mood....vacation!!!!!!
What has 7 arms and sucks?





Def Leppard.....Thank you and good night

If Canada is the place...thats cool and I will gladly go. But gas prices I'm a little worried about.
I'm kicking the idea of something a little closer but with good planning,I'm sure anything will work.
Might be able to do more fishing than driving...anyhow,...just an idea is all

That's SOME fish!!! =d>

Try Ontario Canada, Eagle Lake, Sydney Lake or Kilburn Lake or Leech Lake, MN. for nice Pike. Love them Muskie, but Pike are fun to catch too!
