Fishing Report

43.0" / 20.5 lb. Northern Pike caught by Chris DeMartine fishing on Sunday July 13, 1986 at 11:30 in Quebec, Canada North America using a 3/8 ounce Spoonfish -- Yellow Perch a Casting & Trolling Spoon

My biggest freshwater catch ever!

The lake was Goland Lake, Canada. I'm not sure if I hit it right on the map, but it's an 8-mile lake in the area that I plotted above.

It knocked over all my tackle. I was so excited I almost fell out of the boat.

Tip: drill holes in the spoons to create sonic vibration & allow you to retrieve at a slower speed for big northerns in cold water (Spoonfish lures had that feature).

That's a monster! You must have had fun getting that toothy fish off your hook. Any photographic evidence? I would love to see it.

Also, I just updated the software for another member and the system now allows catches dating back 35 years (currently to 1982). So you can update the date.
