This is a pike release shot from last year's French River trip that I forgot to include in my previous blog. If I was consistently catching bigger ones that weekend, this one would have been lunch.

Love the photo - and I know how difficult it can be to take a good picture of a fish. Tight Lines!

Nice catch!
What size is the biggest pike you have caught?

This is my PB pike! I did not measure it - I was more focused on getting it back into the water. It already had a broken off leader in its gullet when I caught it. Unfortunately whatever was on the other end of that leader was deep hooked and I could not remove it.

Nice one!!

Nice!
My biggest pike measured 41 1/2inches, my son beat mine with a 46 1/2inch pike!
That’s our record to beat now ;)
