I went by boat across the southern end of Great Slave from Hay River to the Mackenzie River, the size of that lake defies imagination. I have no doubt there are huge pike in that whole system. I recall hearing it's 200 or so km from Hay River to Yellowknife and its alot longer than wide. So get yourself some steel and get a plus 50, but remember to post a pic..

Always use steel. And measure your pike up around 40", they can be deceiving when you first see them. I used to get fooled alot on lengths but pack a tape religiously so I'd always double check. Now my guesses are usually pretty close. I've been up that way and know there are monsters there, but pike over 50" are pretty rare. Good job if it was though.

Hehe..

You surely fall into the mean lookin' SOB category if you ask me..

The biggest, ugliest streamer in my box.

Nice pics. And again, that hat is badass.

Awesome.

Pike are prone to a skin bacteria..

50D. Backpack yes, waterproof no. And I have fallen in the river with it, on several occasions. And some I took, some Lorne took.

We used to find them often in the pump shack sump near our house. Look around ponds with fairly marshy ground around them, and they're usually laying low during daylight hours.

Found tons of Tiger Salamanders over the years, generally around still water. Perhaps they're found near moving water but every time I've found them is in still water and swampy areas.

Beauty pics.

Saw Brad get this one on a most identifiable east coast pattern..

I second that motion.

Nice pics. Pike are a blast.

Those podcasts are solid. Waste alot of time driving for work, been listening to them frequently. Interesting stuff.

Nice pics. That hat is badass.

Do it all the time. 5-6 days at a time.

What are you saying?

They should teach that in Driver's Ed.. Just ask the guy that did that to my uncle when I was younger how that turned out.

Funny, read a while back they were 43 days behind schedule drilling that well at 500 k/day.. ?

Second that.

Nice..

That just made my day....
