Took my father the 1st time fishing. Leaf Rapids Manitoba. The next year he was gone. He caught a few 8-9 # northern. I'll always remember. So will you. :)
It's his first fish, so you have to love it. Fishing is the one sport where the old saying "Life isn't Fair" applies the most. Nice fish and a memory the father and son will be able to share for the rest of their lives.
From down here in Texas where we don't know why someone would be crazy enough to go outside when it is that cold, let alone fish, that is a Beautiful fish!!!!!
Now THAT is a fish! Good job!! I'm from Florida and all the time I see in lake and river videos nothing but tiny fish, and even some fish people call "giant" are smaller than what I would catch for bait. It's nice to see a Northern fishing video with a real fish in it and not a baby fish.
VNever seen a pike that short at that weight. I caught a 5 footer but it was slimmer, early spring time in Lesser Slave lake. I caught several little 4 footers at the Brazeau Dam but the were young and slimmer too. That maybe a small short pike but a very meaty fish!
1mil + views and no comments ? :o Wow... That's rare. Whelp, I can be proud to say "FIRST!" ;D Anyway, that's a real fine pike :P Too bad a pike that size isn't very tasty :)
Ice fishing is a horrible hobby . I tried twice and in both times I got my ass freezing and the result was just small tiny fishes . I'm done , no more ,sorry
