The Novi has pike to 60" in it. When they swim to your bait they do not make a vee-wake... there are 5 or 6 wakes headed in your direction 😉 Nowitna Do you fish with seafire?

Here's a striped bass from last season that weighed 34 pounds and change, I seem to recall. I sure would like to see what a poodle eating 60 lb pike looks like... Amusing thread.

My daughter caught a Northern once that took a perch she had hooked. Once the Northern was netted we realized it wasn't hooked, just wouldn't let go.

Extraordinarily large or otherwise impressive catches speak for themselves and need no exaggeration or manipulation of images. In fact, I think the shameless long-arming sort of cheapens an otherwise fantastic catch. Big fish and pretty fish just don't need it. Not to mention that it'd be a very neat trick trying to hold some caliber fish with locked elbows...

I never weighed it but I did measure it at 46 1/2 inches. I measured the girth too but I don't remember it off the top of my head. It was by FAR my biggest snot rocket that I estimated at 32 pounds or so. I need to find this secret honey hole that is lousy with 45-60 pounders. I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

Just thought the video was cool is all. Fish are like peoples that way . Manny folks would eat a steak dinner, with some dessert and coffee afterward and still take one of those mints from the jar at the counter on the way out. Had a friend in a bass tournament I was fishing in down in SoCal many years ago take the prize for the day with a 12lb largemouth. Fishing near a bridge with a 3" or so ShadRap. The bass ended up having a 2.5lb catfish in its gullet, partially digesting on the head end in the gut. The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.

Sitka deer Campfire Kahuna Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 50,648 Likes: 2 Anchorage, AK USA	Originally Posted by Bobmar A length to weight conversion table I have used states a 41 inch pike would weigh 17.71 lbs. I’ve found that to be a little light based on actually weighing on a digital scale, fish I had measured. Your 41 is chunky! That same table states that a 50 would weigh 32.73 lbs. I don’t have any experience with 50 inch pike! I’ve always thought of them as 200 inch whitetails! I’ve never seen either. IME&O that chart would be wildly off on pike. They vary so much.

It sounds like the trout in the Good News River could be the Alaska version of the Siberian Taimen?…. I wonder how much DNA they share that is not present in other populations? Mousing for trout would be atypical fun!👍🏼 Mousing for rainbows locally is a big thing. Lots of variety in fly patterns... Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance...
