Wow, congrats! That's a huge catch.

Thanks Charry! :D

That is a niiiiiiiiiiiiice pike :o

Damn. Good catch! ;D

This takes me back! I grew up in Minnesota (a bit South of the Twin Cities) and I spent a lot of the winters ice-fishing. Northern Pike, Crappies, you name it. Once I even caught an Eelpout (*ugh!*). Sometimes we used tip-ups (and sat inside the truck a little distance away), sometimes we sat on overturned buckets by the hole after riding out on snowmobiles, sometimes there was a fishing shack that we sat in. It was a widely varied experience from year to year, but it was a huge part of my childhood. I cannot thank you enough for bringing back all those memories by sharing this photo.

You should be proud for landing such a monster, and so quickly after setting your line! That's a damn fine catch!

Aww no problem! What great memories. It has actually been YEARS since I last went ice fishing, and I'm kind of sad it's been so long! Speaking of Eelpouts, I'm like 95% sure I caught one of those once when I left a line out overnight. Quite a weird fish to reel up, I was not expecting it. O.O! You should totally come back to MN and fish sometime! Catch your own big northern! :D Ah well, I'm glad my picture reminded you of all those fun times. ^.^
