TORONTO PIKE REPORT - Nice surprise for lunch

[snag]

So I head out for a very, very late day lunch (aka- fishing)

 

Figured the storm might trigger some feeding.

 

I was also experimenting with a new technique.

I knew the pike were deep so I went to the deepest part of somewhere and experimented, ever so secretly.

 

Fishing around the ice was a hassle

 

Then the snow started, it was pretty

Then it rhymed with pretty but not as nice

 

Just as I was about to leave and sit in traffic for 5 hours......

 

There was a 10min break on the blizzard. Yay

 

I got a hit

A nice hit

lots of weight

 

She was fat and made the top 10 Toronto pike distinction

 

Now, in this particular spot, (the Mctrio R.I.P will lament) it is a challenge to land a fish with with help.

Alone it's hell.

 

Luckily, I secured it's landing by engorging a treble into my index finger, thereby creating extra leverage.

Got her up, and a crap picture:

I'm in pain (clearly) and you can see the bloody finger

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Fishings stupid.

 

Now go shovel.

 

and shovel again.

OH MY my jealousy will consume me

Great fish but can you please try to be just a little more careful? There seems to be a very much higher incidence of self mutilation while fishing this year than in years past.

 

Glad you were able to get out for a few casts though. And that IS a solid pike. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent report and Pike porn Bubba!!!

 

Just thinking aboot a treble in a finger in freezing weather makes the ol' brown eye pucker so's you couldn't drive a straight pin in it with a sledgehammer!!!!

[kennyman]

[young_one]

HARDCORE...but then I wish I was fishing this afternoon.

[Joey]

Ohhhhhh, I sympathize with the treble to the finger, that smarts. Don't eat red snow

 

That's a very respectable pike there, very nice

[mepps]

Beauty pike, nice to see the slimey critters again!

[ccmtcanada]

Great report Grant!!! Yet another pike war wound! I still have a scar from one I got over a year ago...mind you at least mine was from the fish itself instead of my own lure...LOL. It's great seeing more soft water reports....all these ice reports, although great, were starting to depress me....haha.

[mattyk]

Nice looking fish, that looks painful. I have done that before and its not fun.

[tbayboy]

Worth every drop of blood I say. Nothing makes being snowed in easier to handle then knowing you got a nice fish before it hit.

[fatherof3]

[fishindevil]

Well another case of no pain no gain !!!!.. .now go and get some stiches already !!!!....cheers,nice pike

[Ramble]

[Mike the Pike]

Bloody nice Pike

[ehg]

A pre- blizzard downtown pike with blood.

That's pretty hardcore.

 

The pike are chunky down there this time of year.

Nice fish and thanks for laugh.
