Pike fishing 2006

Pike Gone Wild !!

This is about as bizarre as it gets. We've all heard of big fish attacking little fish ... bull trout eating hooked cutthroats ... pike attacking walleye and smaller pike. Stuff like that. This is the first time I'd seen it go to this extent. Incredible. 

Allan Caldwell and I fished 3M Lake on April 24, 2006 and fishing was so so. Still we had a lot of fun and missed lots of hits and landed quite a few smaller pike up to 31 inches. Just fine. 


At about 7:30, Allan hooked a smaller pike and large pike came along and glommed onto it and would not let go. Allan tailed the large pike and it still would not let go. It protested and got away and still would not let go of the smaller pike, so he tailed it a second time and this time we took pictures. There was quite a hullabaloo and his leader broke and the large fish swam away with the small pike still in its mouth. 

The big pike appeared to be a spawned out female and measured at 37 inches.

Here is the pike rodeo...


Here are some more pictures of pike fishing 2006!

The top two images show the large, 37-inch, pike with the small pike in its jaws. 
When you think if it, this is just bizarre. The large fish was tailed twice and 'landed' for photos and was never hooked. It had lockjaw on the smaller pike that was soon to be dinner.
