Do you guys not like catching pike or whats up with that?? or is it just the disappointment of thinking you got a Muskie and its a Pike?? I love Musky Fishing But would have no issue at all catching Pike this size while out Muskie Fishing..always wondered this seems lots of guys on here dont like catching Pike


Nope, buddy still gives me crap for shaking of a 38"ish pike while on the V this year. There is nothing worse then thinking you have a muskie on only to be disappointed when it turns out to be a pike, unless its a good pickling size.

Also those darn things always hammer my suick and bend the crap out of the leader.

They start to get my attention when they reach about the 36" mark and anything over 40 gets me pretty pumped up.

Honestly, I couldn't care any less about a pike. Even a big one. It's just not exciting to me. I take a picture of a really big one now and then because I feel obligated! LOL! It's all slime, whether it's 24" or 44"!


That seems crazy to me that you wouldnt get excited about catching a 44" pike...... i mean come on i get that its disapounting to not be a musky, but just think that most anglers (even pike anglers) wont ever catch one that big

My buddy caught a 36" ish dogfish this weekend in Northern WI. Hit a bucktail, got it netted. There are no northern in the lake we were fishing, so we were surprised discover what it was upon unhooking the fish.

Thought it was a small musky at first. Turns out it was a WI State Record bowfin.

Both.

I can't explain it, but it's a real shot to the gut when you think you have a decent musky on and then see those #*^@ white dots pop up on the surface. They always seem to come at a time when you are really dying to get a musky too..

We were talking about how big that dogfish was the next day. I said I'd never seen one that big and decided to look it up. That's when we realized what we threw back.

Nice catch on the arm hold. That guide (or buddy) is worth his weight in gold.

Maybe that makes it into the "not allowed on my boat" thread......"my fishing partner wouldn't even help me hold my arm out for the pictures..."

Only thing that would make it better would to see his right arm around his waste "supporting" the guide.

39" on Eagle at a place i nickname "the nursery". it's the first place i go on each trip to put a fish in the bag. i had a habit of picking fish out of it and just getting the rust off of the trip and getting a start so catching the incidental pike wasn't a surprise. one particular trip though i continued a few casts past the spot and fished over the sand it the bay connecting it and saw one of 3 blonde giants i'd seen there after fishing it for many years. i learned 1. don't be surprised when you see a big, fat mother in a nursery and 2. the value of fishing sand in September!!
