I used to catch Northern Pike all the time in SD, yes they are exciting to catch. Is it me or is the nose of that a little goofy?

That's what I thought too. Looks like it's missing about 2-3 inches of face, or maybe it got hit by something and it gave 'em that "roman nose"
Poor fish when he got hooked it was probably thinking "Well Son of a Bitch! what' it gonna be this time, every time I try to get a bite to eat I end up getting the *censored* beat out of me" :chuckle:
