What's Wrong with Me?

Very nice! Thanks, Frank. Great pics.

You've got my blood all worked up. I'm going to target a big jackfish (ECP) this spring and summer, around here. The GA record is 9 lb. 6 oz.

Hope springs eternal!

Stan I have a neighbour down the road from me, single mother, she is deaf, mute and almost blind, raising two kids on her own. An 11 year old boy and 7 year old daughter. Two of the most polite and responsible kids I've ever met. As you can imagine their lives are a whole world different than most kids. The father lives about 90 minutes away and doesn't fish and the young boy is eager as can be to go and learn so I've been taking him fishing this past winter when he is available. His first day out for northern pike he already beat your state record! He caught this 35"/10lb-9oz beauty on an 8" dead herring on a quickstrike rig under a polar tip up set in 15 fow.

41" pike on a fly in Alaska. Guides wouldn't let the angler hold the fish. When one of the guides found this cove filled with pike, he told the camp owner, who said "Kill 'em all, they're going to eat our trout." Guide told him that the anglers would love the opportunity. It's true. Look at my smile

John, when I used to go on fly in fishing trips to Canada, they would tell me to "throw those slimy bastards on the bank"! I actually like eating pike, yes, they have a stronger flavor than walleye, and of course the Y-bones. I would beer batter/deep fry them or grill them. A 40" was my biggest and I brought it in using a Diawa mini-spin ultralight while fishing for walleye.

Here is a short video I put together of the young neighbour kid icing the 35"/10lb-9oz pike.

And here is a fairly lengthy video of our first fishing trip with the young fellow last August. It was his first time ever fishing.
