Was busy getting things done round home and after lunch decided to go ice fishing for an hour or so. Went to a small lake which is spring feed and was targeting pike. I just of line in the hole and down the bobber went then the reel went down just got there in time to bury my arm down the hole to grab the handle. Unfortunately, I didn't connect with him. Wasn't too long after that I hookup with a 28 incher and headed home.
A beautiful day in paradise the water was running with the full sun about 40 degrees.

Pike out of cold water is some fine eating,
I like to fillet them boneless.

Good eating right there.

… Boco can you give us a tutorial on how to fillet pike boneless? … or at a minimum show us how to make an apron out of frost scraped wolverine scrotum ?

Out of clean water the colder the better, filleted boneless pike are excellent.
Only musky taste better.

I'll fillet you boneless with a dull possum pekker if you dont go back to being the nice Savell.

Anybody ever pickle the pike? I’ve heard it dissolves the bones and is delicious

I thought Canadians were peaceful?

Snowy, we need to get you a "tip up" or "trap" if you are from the east. The line is under water so it doesn't freeze and the flag pops up when you get a bite. No more waiting for Snoopy to stand up.

Yes probably a couple hundred pounds over the years. Bones turn soft, don’t even know they are there.

Yup....traps around here.
