cisco Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 A real beauty! Congrats! I'd give er 41 or 42 inches and she's ready to lay eggs she's so fat! All depends though on how big you are..... if 5ft nothing vs 6ft the pike size may vary a coupla inches. JK! Great fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!
snag Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Posted March 22, 2007 WooHoo!! Very very nice! You went for it and what a beauty pay off!! I had the same "why bother" attitude today and I am ashamed to admit....I fell for it. Stayed home,packed away the ice gear and reorganized the soft water stuff.....should have went fishing :wallbash: bly Truth be told, I was there 20 min. and that was the last cast.........
snag Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Posted March 22, 2007 Nice job!!! It's great to see your TO pike posts again...I missed them!!!! Maybe if the pike are back in the shallows there, they are back in my neck of the woods. I'll have to get out soon though!!! Great work Snag...and yes, I cant bring myself to call you Snog yet...LOL I bet they are there, but heck, you may catch a monster walleye by accident...........
ccmtcanada Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 I bet they are there, but heck, you may catch a monster walleye by accident........... But Walleye are out of season....I would hope I didnt catch one!! We release everything we catch anyways. We'll get out there again soon I hope. Great pike there Snag...beats my PB in weight by over 50%.... LOL. We find that when the Pike are in, the Walleye are not...so not too much risk in accidental catch there.
valerie Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 Great fish snog . Can't wait to get my first pike sounds like alot of fun.
highdrifter Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 Well done G! Friday is looking prime... Might even have McTwinklestein join us... gnawww That there fish looks to be a nice phat forty +. WTG snog. tight loops HD
snag Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Posted March 22, 2007 Right on Snag. That's a beauty fish. How hard was your heart pounding? Great report. Joey Soiled meeself
snag Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Posted March 22, 2007 Good job snag man! The Master Pike fisherman is back. Great looking fish. They do tend to like getting revenge on your fingers though So tell me, is your camera set up on a tripod for these great self portraits? If so is it set up ready before you even catch the fish or do you have to scramble around once the fish is landed? Always wondered... they seem such well composed shots, and would like to give the self portrait with fish shot a go one day, even if the pike I catch are 1/5th the size Thanks for sharing. Itching to get out there. 007 The routine is: Fish on, Camera out. Remove hook Take pic Release. Repeat Luckily, there was a mooring post with a flat top to put the camera on.

Dang memory!
snag Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Posted March 22, 2007 Hey snog you have a PM. I know. I saw it. You have to follow the etiquette here. Introduce yourself to the board. and don't ever ask me where I fish. I don't respond to PMs like that and people here do find it offensive. Toronto is small, explore. Eventually we'll meet. Welcome aboard
valerie Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 I didnt mean to affend you sorry about that . I wouldn't ask for your favorite spots in general just some advice . Thanks
snag Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Posted March 22, 2007 I didnt mean to affend you sorry about that . I wouldn't ask for your favorite spots in general just some advice . Thanks No probs, Try the islands. Hope your brother has a great birthday!!
ehg Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 No probs, Try the islands. All the channels were iced over at the islands as of March 21st (yesterday). One islander i spoke to yesterday said there is still up to 8 inches of ice in main channels. Could be gone by this weekend however! Remember pike season closes as of end of March 31 st. till May 5th. cheers, ehg

snag Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Posted March 22, 2007 Dude, Pike fear you as Steelie's fear CC! Thanks for the report! ps. whats with the name....snog? Cheers, Urbano Good question. Answer: Good Grammar, Snog is the proper British pronounciation of "Snag" Snogging is a preferred British pastime.
