The No Fail Five Fillet Boneless Pike

Jonathon Marshall — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 12:31:31 +0000

We catch a lot of pike here at Fishing Fury, and it shouldn’t surprise you that we’ve eaten out fair share of them too. Pike are a fantastic eating fish in my opinion, but one of the hardest things to do is get a nice clean boneless fillet because of their bone structure. I’ve tried several methods and none of them are as easy as the one you’re about to see. Check out this dead simple 5 fillet method I’ve never seen before.

Baby Pike VS Baby Duck

Jonathon Marshall — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 18:31:24 +0000

I saw this video last night hot off Dave Mercer’s twitter and it’s easily the best versus video we’ve had to date. I’m sure everyone here has heard stories of pike and musky eating baby ducks, well here is your chance to see it happen right before your eyes. Spoiler: the pike wins!

Behold the Durex Condom Pike Fly

Jonathon Marshall — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 03:18:42 +0000

We’ve covered a few bizarre uses for condoms in the past how to make a fishtank with a condom and how to start a fire with a condom, but this fly from Simon Graham’s website makes for one of the strangest.

Massive Bull Dawg Pike!

Clive Mathias — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 04:35:21 +0000

I have been, and always will be a firm believer that northern Ontario, Canada has the ability to produce the next world record pike. I’ve caught some huge fish myself in Ontario, and have a few stories about the ones that got away. This particular pike isn’t the biggest Ontario pike I’ve seen either, but its right up there, and its an incredible pike no matter where you’re from.

Nungesser Lake pike, caught by Paul Kuhns at Anglers Kingdom, Caught on a Bull Dawg.

Paul’s pike hit a bulldog he was casting into about 7 feet of water and slowly retrieving out into about 12 feet of water. We had only been fishing for about 5 minutes and were only a five minute boat ride from camp. It doesn’t always happen or happen that quickly but if you keep fishing in the right spot you will eventually be there at the right time. A few days earlier I was guiding another group in that same exact spot. I always put out small dark colored markers. I had a very large pike grab a small walleye and although I had 30lb power pro I had been experimenting with a 4 foot fluorocarbon leader to increase the number of walleye. (it did increase walleye bites) However the pike bit me off after about 5 minutes. Although I hadn’t seen the pike, I shared with my other guests that a large (45″ plus) pike was in the area. We came straight to the exact spot that morning and it worked beautifully. Whether it was the same fish isn’t positive but that scenario has worked for me many times over the years. – Kevin

And a side note to all of you readers who have been to Brett Geary’s Sportsmans Lodge, Nungesser Lake is fairly close by and Anglers Kingdom is run by Brett’s brother Kevin who has caught more then his fair share of enormous pike. Both Little Vermilion and Naungesser have produced several pike over 50 inches.

Pike Flies By Simon Graham

We have a lot in common with Simon Graham of Pike Fly Fishing Articles (and Baltic Pike Tours), but most of all we both love pike. While we prefer chasing them with large spinner baits, Simon catches them on flies. And just like I create my own spinner baits, Simon creates his own incredible flies in all sorts of colours, shapes and sizes. If you are interested in catching pike on the fly, do yourself a favour and check out some of his site and some of his creations.

Name That Fish Disease!

Before you go ahead and click the images below, be warned, its pretty nasty! However, this disease is fairly common and can effect multiple species of fish. This particular case is the worst I have seen to date.

Caught and photographed by Luc Graveline. The pike was caught in the Lavase River, in North Bay Ontario.

Giant Irish Pike

Clive Mathias — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 22:18:46 +0000

I love big pike, and this has got to be one of the biggest I’ve seen out of Ireland. She measured a lengthy 48 inches long, and had a girth of 24 inches!

“This fine Pike was caught by Ballingall angler Damian Grifferty. Shortly after noon on Tuesday April 24th the lucky angler hooked-up with a fish of a life time on Lough Ennell. The “Crookedwood Hurley” rattled the scales with a specimen pike weighing 15.98k, well over the 30lbs specimen weight. Damian was fishing with J.J. Flanagan on the day. The monster pike measured 48 inches long and had a girth of 24 inches. The fish came to a large orange lure.”

This one isn’t quite as long, but look how fat it is!
