Mike- yep while chatbox LOL.. Today this afternoon, it was very windy 30 degrees, not too bad.. So my dad caught 28" pike no pic. So in few min later, one tipup was up so it was my turn so I pulled a 37" 12lbs fatty pike as my biggest to my date! It was long battle with 8lbs line test.

You done it again! Awesome job, Ford! Congrats on your Pike! Nice looking fish! I also see the dog's nose in the pic looking up at you.... Like "Hey, I wanna lick"!!! LOL

Id like to here it Mike might work well with little bullheads to

Baked Pike.

1 pike, cleaned any size will work
salt and pepper, to taste
melted butter
Lemon Juice

I like to use a mixture of 1 stick (1/2 cup butter) to 1/4 cup lemon juice to baste all through the baking period.

Stuffing:

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
4 cups dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning, or dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

or you can use stove top stuffing chicken flavor.

Directions.

Scale fish remove head, and fins but do not cut the belly open pull innards out and wash well now sprinkle inside with salt and pepper. Place fish on well-greased baking pan. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat and saute onion and celery until tender. In a mixing bowl, combine sauteed mixture with bread crumbs, parsley, beaten egg, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well and add a few tablespoons of water if the mixture seems very dry. Stuff fish loosely and brush with melted butter and lemon juice mixture through out baking time. Bake at 350° for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Remember that you can also use stove top stuffing, but home made is better.

her ya go this will work for other fish to but i like it with pike the best.

Mike- Its really good recipe!! I was copying that full recipe, someday My dad or I catch one, we would like to try it! Thanks alot Mike. I'm glad to be here in Bigfishmidwest and JmJworldoutdoor. Enjoy that both website! We had a fried pike last night so it was really good. Also my dad is going to make a Pickled Pike soon.

And there's other report. Today this afternoon I pulled a 33" pike. My dad caught a little 13" walleye and 30" pike- both released. There's 6 tipups still on ice tonight, hope we hook some nice walleyes.

Heres 33" pike I caught today.

Hey What Kinda Bait Are You Using For The Pike, If You Can Find Any Get Some Frozen Smelt And Hook Them Up Just Like Your Other Bait Pike Love It. Congrats To You Both Again On The Fine Catches.

Thanks guys!

Mike- we use a large shiner for pike. Its seem pretty work for us.

Yesterday it was pretty cold out on the ice, we set up 6 tipups on ice all day and night.. We caught a three little pike and only one 17" walleye... SLOWWW.... Today we are staying home because of -30 to -40 wind chill, too dangerous to go out on ice.. its not worth it.. wait for next week, its should be warm up back to 30s..
