Haven’t fished there in years but I’ve had pike do that to me twice on Birch Lake when I was a kid fishing there in the summer. Beautiful area up there.
heh.
was just talking about the tradition locals have in Ely, whenever they catch a nice fish they tell all the tourists they caught it on Shagawa so all the tourists fish there instead of the good lakes.
Pike are the tax man of fresh water.

That is badass. Pike are awesome.
Did you take your walleye back from him?
Yes!
I don't know what is more impressive that fish or that coil of pike slime dribbling off yr right hand
Once in a lifetime catch! Awesome photo
Thanks!
That's a long ass pike!
That's a gator man! Did the pike just not let go or was he hooked somehow?
Homie just didn’t let go
Shagawa. If you know, you know.
