Nice fish BT!!!! What's hanging out of it's mouth - golden shiner, sucker, or yellow perch? We are going to need a size/ weight if you want my title! Pike King could be on the line, here.
Mr. VanPike - nice to hear from you again. I was wondering if you were still out there. Any ice fishing, yet?

Congrats on the beast, awesome fish. Also was wonder about that bait. Its not a sucker cause that fork tail. suckers are alot more rounded.

Bait was a creek chub that was alive and I clipped the tail so it would swim sideways. It died though right after so I threw it into the hole and just left it there bleeding. Also clipped the pec fins for added instability. Length was about 30 inches didn't have a tape. Also flipper this is thru ice not open water...

Don't sell yourself short BT. That fish is at least 34" in my opinion. From all the picks I took and pike I measured this summer, 34" seems to be when they start looking big...and that one looks big!
As for the title, I guess this would be a different catagory, so we'll call you the Ice Pike King.

Haha thanks Flipper and it really was 37 inches on the nose. A lot of people like to add a few inches to the fish when the hold it out to make it look bigger, I like to take away a few inches from the actual
