For 250-300 you can easily get 2 reels that are more than adequate. I always go with 2, sometimes 3 rods rigged up with varying types of line. ***Edit, didn't see the 10 wt part. Maybe a bit more expensive since I use 8s.**

I'll bring a few faves on the next outing.

40 ton.. Didn't realize that one made it in there, had some boredom on a job with "endless trouble" the other night.

Awesome pics.

Awesome.

Posted this before.

Awesome.

Nice Spadefoot.

Nice pics.. Walleye's teeth won't cut mono. I believe they are round.

Beauty pics.

I think painted is correct. I remember seeing somewhere once that they are found in limited numbers in the Milk River drainage, which I thought was a little odd.

Awesome pics.

Was checking that out this morning.. That would be unreal.

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.

Saw this once when looking around.. http://www.montanaboatbuilders.com/

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.
