Frank, I got to say that is a big one!  This fisherman has chosen to do a live mount.  I would like to have mine carved from wood and release the fish...But if it's between 25" and 40", it will end up on my dinner plate!

Caught on what?  What kind of retrieve?  Caught how deep?  Caught in what water temp?  Caught in what water clarity?  Caught what time of day?  Caught in how much sunlight?  Caught near, or suspended over, what kind of structure?  Come on, Wellsley, GIVE!!!

Don't know jig try searching the web for Idaho pike state record and maybe you'll find out.

looks photoshopped if you ask me

Wow, what a nice Northern! That's definetely a fish of a lifetime!

I tend to take anything from the 'net as suspect, it is too easy to doctor this kind of stuff. That fish sure looked fat for a Northern didn't it? Tom

it's a european pike.

 

read it in the wed site pics.....truth or a lie

I have problems posting pictures, not sure if it is me or the site. Every time I try to post a picture as an attatchment, I get a message that the att. is too large! any insight? Tom

 Tom, I take pictures with a 3.2 pic camera. I open them with a picture editing program and resize to 25 % of the original and save that one for the net with another name so I don't change the original. It will give you a nice size one like mine up above.

FAH: Thanks for the advice, my camera is a 4.0 MP unit, and there might be more than the site can handle. I will try reducing my pics before posting. Tom
