ccmtcanada Posted December 28, 2006 Report Posted December 28, 2006 Ok...my brother-in-law is in town from the States and we've been taking him to our secret Walleye spot a few times over the past week. Blyght and I did our best to show him our technique and he was doing great! He hasn't caught anything as of yet. Well, tonite we went out and about a half hour into it, I hooked what I thought was a pretty big Walleye! As I was reeling him in, it surprised me by instantly running and taking lots of drag. As he got closer he jumped out of the water a few times. I knew then it wasn't a Walleye...they normally fight for a minute or so and then come in like logs. Anyhow, this is what I pulled out of Lake Ontario.... My first ever Northern Pike...measured in at 34", 15.5" girth and weighed 10 pounds, 4 ounces. We bought a new rapala digital scale today, so we just HAD to test out right? haha. He was hooked pretty deep and I was afraid he wouldn't make it, but after using my new hip waders, I took him out about 6 feet and he took off splashing water on me. That's it for now...what a rush...my first ever pike.....what a day!!!
ecxstriper Posted December 28, 2006 Report Posted December 28, 2006 (edited) Ain't that sweet...he gives me credit for being a fast learner but what he doesn't tell you is that he is lying...I still don't trust that they took me to the secret walleye spot. Everytime this week we have gone out, I have been drugged and blind folded, they made me carry all the gear, stand in Lake Ontario for 30 minutes and then they still gave me a lure without hooks. I have to use it until they land first fish. I was all excited about his pike, they gave me a real lure, aftet my first cast, ccmt said it was time to go! Alex (the brother-in-law) PS. He is letting me come steelheading with him Friday but only after I buy and prepare all the roe bags on Thursday while he is out fishing....... PPS New to the board, proper intro coming soon Edited December 28, 2006 by ALEX

The Urban Fisherman Posted December 28, 2006 Report Posted December 28, 2006 wooohooo Right on CCMT - what a catch....Not to shabby at all for a first pike! What ever happened to your "last post of the season"? that was like what, 4 trophy eyes and a gator ago? haha Thanks for the report! UF
fishnsled Posted December 28, 2006 Report Posted December 28, 2006 ccmtcanada you are the king of shore fishing! Blyght is obviously the queen Great report again! Congrats on the new PB!
Golfisher Posted December 28, 2006 Report Posted December 28, 2006 And here I am, sitting on my arse, lamenting that the season is over. Kudos to your determination, ccmt, and for showing us once again why patience and resolve are virtues to be had.
Carp Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 The temps are co-operating. I'm sure you'll do whatever it takes to beat your pb walleye. Reports are awesome. Congrats on the pike. Keep 'em coming.
ccmtcanada Posted December 29, 2006 Author Report Posted December 29, 2006 Thanks everyone!!! I'm just amazed that we are still able to shore fish this late in December. That pike was sure different than hooking into a big walleye....an even more awesome feeling to actually land the thing. I'll be fishing all winter long if the temps stay like this....
