Sask hunter OP trapper S Joined: Nov 2010 Saskatchewan, Canada	Originally Posted by BernieB. It takes a very heavy 41-inch pike to go over 20 pounds but that one is a wide load so I would say 23 is realistic. It's thick from end to end. Nice. This lake has a lot of Cisco and whitefish and I think that’s why they are so fat always. They seem to be a bit shorter but always fat

It weighed 21 pounds, but it wasn't as filled out as yours. If your watch says you can swim with it, it only applies if you can already swim without it I learned.

MnMan trapper Joined: Mar 2007 Central MN, sort of old	My youngest son caught one in front of our house a few years ago that weighed 21 pounds, nine and a half ounces but I no longer have the length on record. It was over 40 inches, though. Plenty thick. Then, a few years later fishing the same spot in front of the house I caught one that was 21 and a half pounds that was 42 inches just to help give length/weight estimates. This fish was also pretty thick. Both of these fish were caught in February on about the same date. Thickness does make a big difference as I once caught one during a Pike tournament that was 41 inches and looked pretty normal but only weighed 17 pounds and 4 ounces. That one was caught in mid-September. I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Looked like it was really old, I wish he would have kept a scale for it for aging. www.berniesbearcamp.com https://www.youtube.com/user/BowhuntingRoad/about

During soft water a guy can chase them deeper than you might think in those lakes.

This is what they typically look like, this one is bigger yet 4 5 inches shorter. Nice fish sask hunter. "Gold is money, everything else is just credit" JP Morgan
