Now that's a dandy! I used to have a place in Northern Ontario and loved fishing for them, most of the cunucks thought us yanks were crazy! They much preferred the Mackinaw trout. We fished a shallow bay casting red and white Daredevil spoons towards shore and bring them in with a quick retrieve and just wait for the pikes wake to show coming in for the attack! Those were the days!

Nice choice on the boat also. Personally I think that is about the best all around boat for the N.W.

Dead bait on a bobber or bottom?
Swim bait slowly along the bottom.

That is epic! I’m going to try soaking a couple dead baits this weekend hopefully!

Congrats on a beauty! How long did it take to reel him in? My experiences with pike were that they hit like a freight train but it did not take long to wear them out. A fish of 29 pounds can provide a tough catch with just the dead weight of the fish.

It was several minutes, at one point it took me under the boat and I was worried about it breaking off when the line rubbed the hull, but got it out ok.

Aren't they trying to get rid of them and Isn't there a bounty for them in Lake CDA?  You may have given up some cash letting it go.

I thought I read once where they were illegally released in Lake CDA 40 or 50 years ago and they've been trying to get rid of them since.

Yeah but they have to be 5 feet long before you can collect any bounty.
