    This picture was sent to me by my nephew Jordan Hayes. On vacation in July of 2004 on Lower Cullen Lake near Nisswa Mn. he was trolling a special secret lure that the pike really like to chew on.

    He says he missed the lake record by only 4 oz. This fish was brought to the dock right after he caught it for a quick picture and back into the water.

    Jordan said “I want to let her go so i can catch it next year when it beats the lake record”

    Way to go buddy I’ll be looking for that picture next year…

    NICE FISH JORDAN I HAVE CAUGHT 2 NICE NORTHERNS ON LOWER CULLEN IN THE LAST THREE YEARS ABOUT THAT SIZE INCLUDING THE ONE IN THE NET ON MY POST PICTURE BOTH RELEASED OF COURSE. I FIGURED THE BIGGEST ONE WAS ABOUT 12-13 POUNDS. 34 INCHES BUT FAT.
    MAYBE ALL THREE ARE THE SAME FISH?
