Biggest one I ever got out thereLooks like a really heavy-bodied pike, Steve. How long was it? Congrats on the bonus catch!

I fought it a long time so I wanted to get it back in the water. I did not get a measurement. Thankfully he spit the hook in the net. I figure 36″ at least, maybe a little more? They are few and far between on the Croix but I am seeing more perch and bluegill up here. The pike are becoming more plentiful also. Coincidence?
Second one I caught in as many outings but this one was remarkable. The girth was incredible.June 5, 2016 at 4:09 pm #1622972I pulled this one out of the St Croix about 2 weeks ago. 34″ but with a head the size of a shovel. Fun catch on a light action rod with 6# braid on it.

June 6, 2016 at 2:04 pm #1623223Nice pike Steve. I’ve caught a couple of nice pike on the Croix trolling for muskies. Your right, they are probably more scarce than the muskies. 2 summers ago, I got a 42 incher down by the kinni and also caught a few decent ones around the big dam.

I might have had that one mounted!
Big one anywhereI was bummed it wasn’t a muskie. It was a mean SOB and went nuts in the net and broke one of the eyes off my pole. I just wanted it out of my boat.
