First time I ever tried pike on the fly was yesterday. The fishing was apparently "slow" but I found it to be fine. went with cuttbow to a southern AB lake. Got this beauty and 9 others that were smaller. It was a blast. Thanks for dinner cuttbow - he lost the dinner bet - booyah!

mmax that'll be the best catch of the year by far anyways. enjoy the new one!

Yeah I was fishing next to a beaver damn with it... and kaaBOOOOOM i hear this massiv ethrasing set hook and the fight was on. And yes, it was a big, big brown. I don't have pics of it though was fishin solo and no real way to take a good pic at night. I'd guess she was somewhere's in that 26-28 range.

I've done it on the bow at 3am

Yeah... I like that. And put a warning label on that bottle saying : drinking may cause feelings of remorse, discomfort, and tendacies to have your photo taken while doing something you wouldn't want to be associated with 20 years later may arise.

Ok years ago a friend of mine took a fish home that was hooked badly and just did not make it. It was legally harvested, but regretable so as well. we decided to see just what it would taste like. upon cooking it, the whole house smelled like rotten sewage, and the flesh of the fish was rubbery. We ordered some pizza.

and were you setting straight up or sideways (lol rick you KNOW i was gonna throw that in on this post somewhere... you had to know!!) LOLOL

were you using a big indy or a tiny one? for lake fishing, if your using a big one they feel it right away and spit the hooks.

Those are some nice fishies! I can only think of a handfull of lakes that both have that size of fish, and those 3 species.. Oh crap... I have suddenly forgotten the names of all of them.

a special permit to collect an out of season fish for the purpose of taxidermy? sounds bogus to me. The methods employed (bait, snelled hook, and I assume a barb?) are just appaling.

LMFAO... the funbuster strikes again!

No photshop there that was an honest 66m. I didnt even have to hold that hail closer to the camera to make it look bigger!! It actually turned to 67m the second before it obliterated that building

Holy hell what in the name of god do they need to bait fish for to catch a fish in the Bow? What a brutal example. And it accomplished exactly why bait isnt allowed. Killing the incedental catches (that whitefish). Waita go boys! Learn how to fish.. or ask someone who does know how to bring in a brown. By the way isnt it zero catch and keep until July on ALL parts of the Bow? I havent picked up this years regs booklet so I may be wrong but I remember it being 1 or 2 fish under 35cm from JUNE 16 - OCT 31 the rest of the year trout limit zero. Am I wrong? Can anyone post or PM me the phone number for these employees superior officer? I think we need to raise awareness of what these knuckle heads are doing on the river.

Nice!

Good looking fish, bad looking ball cap ( go sox go )

first time I ever had anything to drink my "friends" gave me a mickey of southern comfort. I was not aware that your not supposed to drink the whole thing. Needless to say I was in the fetal position on some nasty rug somewhere as well... and I filled that pizza box back up.

It called Canadian Hockey fans sick of taking it up the ___ from the NHL and it's officials.

Runoff = Big fish stick to slack water and deep banks.

Owned!

wow.. enjoy the golf course and river now 'nucks fans. Too bad. Once again my TV season is over now. I'll watch a canadian based team as far as they go... now it's all exactly what the NHL wants it to be. US teams. Yay for them.

Had one to 61m LOL.

No. Private water regs are those imposed by owner of said private body of water, on said private body of water.

I dont think I have ever turned away anyone who walks up in a courteous manner and asks to fish a run. I get a little vocal with guys who do what that guy did to you, however. It is VERY BAD etiquette to just step in the same run as someone is fishing without first asking them. The people that do it deserve a slap upside the head.

Birchy... LMFAO... 65m well done

Nice pics
