[KOMPRESSOR]

I've edited together some video cuts from a club mate, Hallgeir Nordhagen. The pikes in our lake do get big, don't they?...

Yeah, pikes are awsome!

The record from our lake is 43 lbs. I know they get bigger in Canada, but it's not the same species as ours though. Smaller ones, around 4-8 lbs are great for food. But they are bony, and need some attention when making up the filets. I prefer using them in fish balls. -With cream, onions, salt, black pepper and muscat in them.


Just found these recent pics in the fishing forum I have joined:
