In a recent fishing trip in northern Manitoba, Canada, the question of what size of bait used is addressed. The lake was a lake trophy Northern Pike, but was full of walleyes. After a long day of casting for northerners, we decided to fish for walleyes in the evening to give our arms a little rest.
After the capture of numerous walleyes my partner with another boat and then the “big” hits. A large pike had swallowed his walleye. After playing the fish for a while “I put the cradle in the water and tried to carry on the inside as they approached, but he would not hear of it and do another run. While the North was next the crib should be noted that the pike was longer than the crib. The base was 48. He was a giant of the North. After another race that is close to the fish and then simply let go. Oh, but I have a great distance, but my partner still had a boat in Alaska away. We landed the walleye and measured 17 inches. Nice fish!
We knew when the North was doing and had the race in Alaska, but have not yet seen the walleye. He swallowed the walleye to the bottom. Pike was not engaged, just wanted a meal.
So when fishing is a reminder too big? 17 inches?
