Big Pike

Post by Sonny »

Well not a REALLY big pike but still a nice one. We didn't have a scale in the boat but we measured him and he was just under 43 inches. Our best guess is that he was in the 16-18 lbs range which is the biggest my bro-in-law ever caught and he was darn happy to catch him. :wink:
Also caught a shit load of walleye and had some for lunch everyday. Oh btw that big pike was released to be caught again by someone else. :thumbsup:

Weather was perfect and it was a great fishing trip. :thumbsup:

Just looking at that weather, the scenery and the catch of the day, it would be a pleasure to be Alberta bound. :Canada:

That's what fish looks like before it's made into round chunks and squeezed into the can? My cat loves it. Nice vintage class C, what is that? Late 80's or 90's? I have one like it I have so far been using for storage, but it runs well, and more importantly no computer anything on the engine, or transmission.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

It's a 1986 Ford Glendale and the old girl runs great. It has all the goodies such as 3 piece bath,furnace,AC,hot water heater and three way fridge with small freezer. It also has a mighty 460 engine which pulls her real good up hills but we only get about 9mpg with it. :lol:
It's old and we don't go on long trips with it but it's a good unit for hunting and fishing. :thumbsup:

My other RV is a Fleetwood Bounder and has the Ford Triton V10, fuel economy? What's that? It's fun to play with these little houses on wheels.

I'll bet, yea I have heard of it. I can't have any though, I turn into the Wolfman, roaming the countryside preying on villagers. :drunk:

If I caught that Pike, I wouldn't be able to wipe the smile off my face for about two weeks.
