PIKE ATTACK on Rainy Lake

Rumor has it this weekends Indepthoutdoors Show has James Holst and I “FREAKED” over the Gi-Normous “Ice Out Pike” flat out attacking our offerings. The Queen has just informed me there will be no more jet skiing in this lake, and no longer dangles her toes over the dock “TOO DANGEROUS”. I am going to be in touch with my buddy at the Sportfishing club to possibly produce/float some ” BIG PIKE HAZARDOUS TO FLESH ” bouys in areas. These fish are for REAL!! There Mean and there BIG!! Our Walleye fishery gets a little press(RUKIDDING ME still a big secret ), and a few people know about our slab crappies (THIS YEAR COULD BE AWESOME FOR SPAWN SLABS, last year was unbelievable!! ), but our population of BEASTLY, TOOTHY, FRESHWATER SHARKS definately swims under the radar. PIKE 10-30lbs….shhhhhhhhh!! Secret may be out after this weekend!! If you haven’t planned your fishing trip you best take a gander at another “PIG PULLIN” episode on THE “Rainy Lake”. You know the shows are “LIGHTS OUT” when you are priveleged to help in the filming process, and then sit on your own couch watching the episode with everyone else, spilling your coffee, and waking up the family while yelling “Take a look at THAT!!” Well I might need a lid on my cup for this weeks episode as I haven’t seen the footage, but vividly remember the explosive action!! My Back still has a slight tweak from the tug of war battles!! I know I’ve heard people say “Pike???….Blah Blah Blah… Hammerhandels, snakes ..” I personally don’t get a charge out of catching small crappies,sunnies, walleyes, smallies, pike…PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! But when they are trophy caliber fish “COUNT ME IN!!” ENJOY BOYS!!

From the land of “BIG FISH and small crowds” Still blowin hard from the border, and rufflin a few feathers……..DAZE OUT!!

Can’t wait RD!

Can’t wait either. You live in gods country. Hope to get that way someday soon!!!

Yes CPR The ONLY way to go on this bite!! Monster Pike PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make replicas!! THey look awesome and last forever!! Keep a nice 5-6lb fish for shorelunch!! PLUS!!! That 45 inch Monster is this years 46!! AWESOME FISH!! AWESOME BB!! CATCH PHOTO RELEASE…………CATCH PHOTO RELEASE……….CATCH PHOTO RELEASE Anyone wonder why Rainy has sooooo many big fish??? Well there ya go!! As anglers become better fisherman the movement has been conservation minded. I love to eat fish with the next guy, and do not condemn anyone keeping trophy fish. WIth that being said True Trophy fish are great assets to the fishery. Takes a long long long time to grow 45-50 inch pike!! Wanna catch a 50 inch pike??? LET THE 45 go!! She is well on her way!!

No Problem JAKOB,

I had a converstion with the big fish of Rainy this morning, and they are all planning a little get together under the shack while your up, so the rest is up to your group buddy. I mean you can lead a guy to water…
You smell what I’m Stepping in??

It’s on, on Sunday!!!

Thats what i like to hear, CPR is the way to go, there’s no point to keep a trophy fish these days with the replica mounts you can get. If you want to keep a few fish to cook up have at it but the trophies should go back to get even bigger and lay eggs for the future.

Just have to make sure you have your camera with, a tape measure, and a scale if you want to weigh it. Go to work and get her back in the water ASAP.

The other nice thing is you can get your replica back in a couple weeks if you choose to get a mount.
