Got a 40.25 pike in Yellowgirl Bay on Lake of the Woods that I thought was a decent muskie for a short time.

My biggest northern pike were caught fishing for northern pike not musky's. They were caught in the Hudson's bay lowlands vis fly in excursions. No musky's up there. I'm not that concerned with photos so I never have a camera. If someone else does fine, if not fine to. My biggest was 43" ~ 25 pounds a real chucker. Here's a a picture of one taken 3 years back about 41".

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


All Esox are great! Tigers, Pike and pure-breed Musky's. Honestly I've only heard the term snot-rocket used for those annoying snake-like hammer handles before reading this post. I only prefer musky's because of the potential for greater size. All things being equal I think they may have a slight edge in the fighting department, but this is defiantly dependent upon the fish.

This is a real snot rocket. Pickerel is the meanest esox of them all. His sharp little teeth can destroy expensive musky lures. Even the little ones will hht an 8 inch bait. Every time I think it's a musky.

Pickerel are very mean but after dealing with some Amur pike, I think they may be the meanest esocid. My smallest Amur hit a Crazy Crank Rumbler that was way thicker and almost half the Amur's length.

Amur River basin in Russia's Far East. It was a bucket list fish, and since I've been diagnosed with bone cancer, I decided to do it while I was still physically able. I'd have a pike slam if they hadn't added 2 species in Europe recently. I hope to upgrade my redfin pickerel this year as it was very small, unlike my grass pickerel which was huge at 14".

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"!


Yup, me too!

Been a long time since my last post on M1.  I've had some fun with a few 40"+ Pike while on LOTW.  I can't get crabby at a big pike for wanting to visit my old boat!  Here's my best one at 42".
