Just got back from our annual trip to lake athabasca in northern saskatchewan. Pike fishing was great but the fish had not put the feedbag on yet since spawning. Ice had been out for several weeks and the spawn had been over for several weeks as well. I have never seen so many skinny pike up there since we started going up back in 1999. I'm sure they will fatten up soon. My best bait was a rapala maxrap 13 in 1/2 oz size. Very wide swinging slash bait. We also did good on storm swim baits, jensen bunny jigs & blue fox inline spinner baits.

very nice pike all bigger then my PB pike and your calling em skinny

Yea those don't look skinny by any means to me man good fish! I can just imagine the ones you pull in if those are not up to par they are monsters

They don't look that skinny to me either. Nice fish.

Nice fish Dwight! Never caught one myself!

Beautiful pike, look more like a freshwater barracuda.

Clayton it's all about the location. Big pike up there. When I said skinny fish I meant skinny compared to normal. These fish didn't have anything in there bellies. Here is a fish from a couple of years ago that had been eating good just after spawn.

Wow, Nice fish! One of these days I'll latch on to one that size.

Beautiful fish and pics. Congrats!

Im sure catching bass is more fun..........

awesome fish
