The biggest in weight, that I had anything to do with was, 50 and a half inches, with a girth of 24 inches and to the last bottom fin by the butt, was 24 inches, weighing over 40 pounds.

Environment: Wherever there is bait and fairly warm waters that have cover and the right amount of oxygen, this great sportfish can live over 30 years. Most of your Best pike fishing, is in the Provinces of Alberta, Saskachewan, Manitoba, Ontario, NWT. And in the US, Michigan-Wisconsin, Dakotas,N.C., S.C., Missourri, And A Few More. If You have a great place, Let me know. Germany(I have a picture of this monster just out of the water-The World Record), England, Holland, Scottland, and Help me OUT HERE!!!. I caught them In Alaska. And a jillion other places in the FAR NORTH of THE NORTH WEST TERRITORES. But My best fishing for pike, was in Alberta.....That is where I learned to become a bigger PREDATOR,... or one mean RAPTER on the loose

Techniques: live bait, casting plugs,spoons,spinners,jigs, and much much more, fly Fishing too, with colors galore. I have used yellow rope to a spark plugs, teasing this great sport fish.

I have practised more "catch and release" fishin., This is do, to the BIG FISH I caught, and I doubt if I will ever keep another pike in the boat or stringer, unless we are having a FISH FRY.

When I was growing up, the limits were like, 40 fish per angler. And my Dad, Uncles, and myself included, caught thousands of fish over several decades.

We had every kind of hook one could buy, and some that we made. We were down right ruthless when it came down to catching these great sport fish. And they all went to a dinner table.

I kid you not,........ we always caught are limits, every day. When I was 9 years old....I had landed a 18 pounder......So, if God is up their watching, "You made me a Fishermen". And my mom, a few heart attacks. So MOM, it was all Dad's fault, for bringing home a fishing rod. When I was 2 and half years old, my Dad caught me with that fishing rod he brought home,..............and a beer too. Boy did I get it!!!!!!!
