Lake of the Woods Pike Fishing (Sunset Country)!

[@dbcooper692]

I have a twenty-pound Northern Pike that I caught in Ely Minnesota in 1996. I was on vacation with my father there. All my family is firm MN dating back to the late eighteen hundreds but I am from California. I think that's pretty good for a CA. boy! I caught that fish on a spoon fishing on a twelve rental boat on lake Shagawa. I had to have it mounted and I did. That monster is mounted on my office wall here in Nevada City Ca. What a fight it was. My father could not help me bring it in because he was very old then and could not even stand up to help me get it!! My great grandparents who migrated from Europe to Northern MN in the late 1800s would have been proud of me I am sure!! Most of my relatives still live in MN and could not believe their CA. cousin caught such a massive Northern!!!

Jeremy: At the end of the video, as you're talking while holding that last pike, if you look in the background you'll notice all the pelicans sitting on the rocks. I'm reminded of what Dick Pearson used to say, "If the birds are sitting the muskies aren't moving." Seems to hold true here as you're getting big pike but no muskies.

Very good video! Would you recommend going fishing by yourself or just hire a guide?

[@doncatch1]

No Spoons?

[@gillihaus]

[@fishandhuntcanada]

That's good fishin'! Well done!

[@ThebeachsantaVR]

I thought you were going to break the law by having it over 17inch💀

[@kevinv9217]

Was that one guy Jim Gaffigan ?

[@voornaam3191]

Are there fishes that pull a man into the water, almost drown him, put him ashore again and tell the other fishes, that they have caught a huge fat human near the lake? I would love that. It would maybe make you respect the fishes.

[@Jacob-in5rj]

Most fishermen/ fisherwoman treat the fish with care and try to realese the fish right away

[@joshuavanderputten4704]

boga gripper can cause serious damage to the fish's jaws... we don't want that!

[@JohanGumse]

Thumbs down due to lipgrip, lots of other ways to hold the fish that is not harmfull. otherwise good video.
