snag Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 This is Tony, He finds and fines poachers etc. I have his business card if anyone needs it. Met my bro for breakfast way to early and later got into some pike I tried team, but failed to get the sign in the pic and an accurate measurement. I couldn't feel my bloody fingers. I refuse to put a pike on the ground for this tourney thing. So I might be useless. Just a wee fatty This guy hit hard and put up a nice fight. When I opened it's mouth, the lure fell out. Wasn't even hooked. Just wanted the food?? Nice size too. O.k. I know I've blurred the pics, but I can tell you that we were near PICKERING. I admit, I've lurked and stalked EHG's post to get some of those heat lovin' nuclear fish. Well, here is my first catch from nuclear fisshion' But what is it Erik? It shook the hook but I quickly jumped down and grabbed it. Awwwww, It even has my eyes. It was released quickly. Cheers, Snag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snag Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Snag, I think you caught Nemo. My son would be bawling if he saw that! WTG Snag, as usual great report. The last one was a monster Jose Thanks Jose, my brother had me meet him at 5am that day for breakfast and when that one hit I "woke-up" LMAO....that's awsome. Looks like the fish Bart Simpson caught, minus the extra eye. Great report as usual. Dirk.... It looked like it was molting so a 3rd eye may be coming!

smokin joe Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Great pics and post Snag well done Glad to hear that you're thinking of the fish's well being when taking pics and not just laying them on the ground Here's a suggestion for you that may help. What about using a clip of some sort to clip the sign in the middle of the tape measure somewhere? I would think that as long as you're showing an accurate measurement that it would be acceptable.

Thanks Joe, The wind picked up to 60mph so I have to figure out a way to do it. As you said, the fishes well being is most important. As always, nice looking pike. Thanks Ugli!

maybe Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I can forgive one or two posts without a tourney sign. Ask Rowbotham - he took up a place on my team all last year, posted a ton of brag pics to the general forum....and didn't bother to put a team sign in a single one of em. CCMT had a neat solution last year - if you can't set the fish down, hold the sign in your teeth. Tadaa! I think that orange critter deserves bonus inches for cuteness. Do you happen to have a profile shot of it? It'd make a fun team banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammercarp Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 "I refuse to put a pike on the ground for this tourney thing. So I might be useless." Us carp guys use unhooking mats. They really help reducing damage to your catch and I find that the fish settles down faster so its easier to unhook. I bought a padded beach mat at Giant Tiger for $6.99.

ehg Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Ha Ha, way to go on the pikes there Grant The humour of this post belies the fact of the difficulty of catching said fishes at this time of the year. I think that last fish is a nuclearized Northern Big-Eyed Pic (sic). Usually they are netted in that phase and sold to Dollaramas. As long as that C.O isn't watching. Tough identification there. ehg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a padded beach mat at Giant Tiger for $6.99. Thanks Hammer, I still find that pike will flip around and off the mat pretty quickly. The slime will come off too fast.
