Big Pike

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.

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.

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