kilroy69 986 Posted June 16, 2019 https://ibb.co/kgVbmm8 This is my master angler. Priscilla the Pike. That top mark on my fishing rod is 40 inches. Scratch #2 off my list. One more to go. A 14 inch crappie to complete my grandslam for the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilroy69 986 Posted June 16, 2019 Thanks guys. I was actually not sure if I was going to get a master angler out of this lake. 36 was my previous best 2 months ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted June 16, 2019 Always nice when you land a monster like that. Here’s the question I wanna ask though. What would you rather have? A day where you land a monster fish or a day where you’re catching a ton of fish? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,069 Posted June 16, 2019 Awesome! What lake, and do you get to keep it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the s is ilent 69 Posted June 16, 2019 Check out Richard Gene the fishing machine for tips on crappie. Probably the best freshwater fishermen I've seen on the YouTube. He likes fishing with one pound test line "cuz it's fun" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually said to myself yesterday "I'll take a day like that anytime" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have not killed a fish since I was 19 or 20. I killed and ate a catfish that was in the high 30s. Like 36 or 38 lbs and I regretted it. Still regret it. And I am a true conservationist when it comes to fishing. I practice CPR. Catch photograph release and I'm very strict about it. If I had fun catching it. So should someone else. B. It takes a northern pike 20 years to get that big. This lake had a massive die off of Pike 20 years ago because of a draught. They are really sensitive to heat changes. While their population has definitely rebounded as this was pike 21 and 22 for the year (I got a 15 inch hammer handle too) not a lot of them are really big. 36 is the biggest before this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
