How do they fight? Our pickerel try hard but don't really win any gold medals in that department... |

Caught this one over 17' of water hit it like a freight train and stayed down pulling drag. I use 65 lb power pro and an Abu Garcia 6601 c4 I lock the drag down about as tight as it goes but they can still strip line. Did a death roll 5-6 barrel rolls boat side tangling herself up and then it was all over. We use very heavy rods because typical lures are 3-6 ounces and 6-12" lg makes it easier to cast all day and muscle in big fish. Ive caught em on light tackle bass gear and its an intense battle. |

That's a crazy fish. Imagine if he'd caught that fish in October how big it would have seemed! |

I know the feeling brick, I went three years cursed without putting one in the boat and I just put 2 fish in the boat in 2 weeks. Its a matter of persistance. I did catch a lot of nice pike during that time and had follows and missed opportunities. Cody - That fish in fall could easily pack on 10-15 lbs during the fall feeding binge with all the forage in the system. My buddy didn't get a weight but said it had to be all of 40 lbs. Girth was 23". |

He should be able to look it up on a chart if he has the length and girth. |

yea I just looked looked it up muskyhunter has one and a few other sites have one and they vary by about a pound between em. formula from muskyhunter says 37.5 lbs. When i first saw it I guessed weighed 35-40 so i was about right on the money. This fish is still swimming so there is a chance of catching her again. Last spring a guy caught a 64" out of here and released it est weight was 72 lbsbut it was before the open season. Cant wait for fall. |

I can't imagine what a 64" fish looks like. Especially in the fall. Unfortunately once I get the shotgun out I don't think about the fishing poles much anymore. |
