YOu better focus on catching a 50# Flathead first…. pow!

Is this any Pike ? Such as the largest.. the Muskie
No. Northern Pike ONLY…
your $$$ is safe

I bet a buddy of mine $50 that he couldn’t catch a 40 inch Pike in the metro in the next 12 months. The counties allowed are: Dakota, Washington, Carver, and Ramsey.
Who do you think will win this bet?
Your going to be paying your buddy 
I got 5 last summer from 40-42″ on 2 metro lakes it’s a bit of a dissapointment when you set the hook thinking it’s a ski and it’s a pike 
“YOu better focus on catching a 50# Flathead first”
Been there, done that. Do I get any money?? 
You better stash that $50 somewhere that you don’t spend it.

I wouldn’t bet on it! There is a little fished river in Dakota county that yeilded a “few” 40′ plus Northerns a month or so ago.
Hey Chappy, doesn’t the Vermilion give up a few 10+ pounders each year in the spring?

Too bad a 10lber is only ABOUT…33 in long! 18+lbs for a 40 in Nothern…
Overall I think its a good bet, I feel I have the advatage, but if he pulls it off, it would be good braggin rights!
40 inch fish don’t come easy no doubt. Not even on northern lakes. Depending how good your buddy is and how often he fishes, I like your odds.
there is a decent chance on a lake that is right off 694 that has yeilded 20 to 25 that size over the last 3 or 4 years that I know of. 
might be time to pay up if he figures that out. 
As long as we don’t show him a spot to do it, he’s screwed…
If it has to be a true 40″ (yeah, how many 39’s are reported 40’s ) I think his $$ is safe.

Dont be suprised of you get a PM from, him…. lol.
I have seen the fish on the full measure, unless he bunch a few inches on the tape. and they were all released back safely. not much sttention to that lake as to many recreational’s there for most fisherman. he was a early weekday fishing type trips in the fall. so they are safe for a while.
and who knows what you use as a measuring stick there BIG G
Many places on the river in the metro I think a 40″ pike would be doable to. Do think I would be sticking that money in your pocket yet.
I know of a resort manager that was keeping a 23 pounder in his bait tank earlier this year. I forget the lenght. ‘Course that’s in Pierce Co.
It’s in his freezer now if you would like to take a look at it.
He might get one, but I like your side of the bet better.
bump…
