WARNING--WARNING--WARNING!!!!!!----Skinny dipping in these waters is ill advised for all males!!!!
Those scheduled for gender changing surgery can disregard this warning.
Tom probably safe enough today , it snowed for a few minutes and is generally cold , jumping in the water bare right now your going to need to warm up some to find the family jewels again
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Nice pike John.Congrats to the young feller.
Bet he was pumped when he got the first topwater look at it.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Ian had a blast reeling it in and it came out of the water several times. Ian is fishing machine but he did get excited on this one almost 40" . Every now and then a 42" caught in our parts. That’s bigger than any pike I’ve ever caught. My two best were both 36 inches and weighed around 20 pounds.
Eh...wot?

I'm guessing a 20 pound fish, +/- 2 pounds...?

Congratulations to the young man, that's a nice fish no matter where it was caught.
NonPC northerns on Lake of the Woods tend to run about 18 19 pounds in the open water at 40 inches long. A bit more pre spawn.
I reckon your in the ballpark

Tell that young man...congratulations!!! That's a dandy northern. They are good eating too, once you learn to fillet the y-bones out of them.
