Yep, my first real trip for Pike only resulted in me coming home with eight out of ten fingers bandaged...  I have since learned the merits of Baker Hook-Outs and a host of other contraptions.... Also, I only broke one rod on the last trip!  Ingwe

Yar Tom, it beats me where it was made. I think mine is a 1989 and it has the console like Rattler's. I think it is 19'. It has been used...
More than that I can't tell you. It handles rough water better than I want to be out there, and the 90hp on the back works for pulling the kids on the wakeboard. That's nuts...but they will come to camp for it...:)
Got a board lashed across the back holding downriggers for trouts...

Fishing for toothy critters - Keep a bottle of peroxide on the boat and wash hands with it a couple of times a day. I keep it handy for the salmon and walleye charters and while I'm always skinned up...I'm usually not swollen too bad.
Man these are some great Pike Photos!!!
We eat organic in our house, we just have to shoot and gut it first.....

Pike attack... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTVX7uGMXGAWe fish Alexander Lake quite a bit with OlBlue... Some years ago ADF&G caught, weighed, tagged, and released a pike almost 10# heavier than the 50+ year old World record (49#). art
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

The company changed hands several times and they're now made here in WI. I've been real impressed with the ones that I've seen.

The new Yar-craft's are damn fine boats. I have no experience with the older ones, but from what I understand, they are too.
The 186 TFX is on the wish list for next time.

When I was in high school, we were fishing a backwater by the Little Sioux dam at Linn Grove. A friend hooked a northern and it was tangled in the willows at the edge of the water. As I said, we were in high school, so our brains were not yet fully developed. I swooped in and stuck my thumb in its mouth to yank it out of the willows. I did get it to shore. Thumb looked like I had pushed it down on one of those pin things that they use to make cut flower arrangements stand up.

Some fantastic fish there, guys! Best that I've managed is a 42". I will eat them right along with walleye any day. Wife even has no preference once the y-bones are taken out. Esox (northerns and muskies) have provided my son, my best friend, and me some wonderful memories. A day spent on Shoepac a few years ago was one of those days that only comes along once.

![[Linked Image]](http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u49/Mark_Dobrenski/MarvintheMuskiefallof07007.jpg) After seeing all the pics of the water wuffs I thought I'd add my prize to the party. I'm pretty much totally a fly fisherman and love to fly fish for pike/muskie and or anything that moves. This is a 46" muskie I caught in Minnesota fall of 07 with my 9' 9 weight Sage a rod that Ingwe knows all too well....grin Dober

I'd be more than glad to take some of those off you hands there Ingwe. For me fly fishing for pike/muskie is the living end!
Can't stomach going back to spinning and or heavy tackle to fish for them anymore, just too much like cheating to do it that way...grin
Not this summer (markets too tight) but perhaps next you and I and Juan should take a road trip north with 9 weights in hand?
