I heard of the exact same thing happening a few years back. I didn't know they had Pike in Florida. Windermere, FL right?

Sorry, working didn't look at the video. Was it a "bash &amp; release"?

Holy crap, that's a big pike. You must have knocked the snot out of it.

toolfan 02-08-2005 1:28 PM

it may be a pickerel.

Toolfan - definitely not a pickerel - clearly a pike. <BR> <BR>That's pretty sweet!

wakeguru 02-09-2005 5:28 AM

Is Pike not short for Pickerel? <BR> <BR>There are Chain Pickerel in my lake and they look pretty much like the Pike - same fin structure and snout, etc, just smaller.

Below is a pic of a Chain Pickerel, also known as a River Pike. <BR>I've been fishing and "playing" in Florida lakes all my life and I had no clue these were in there until I saw one in my canal one day, snapped a pic and looked it up on-line. They're fast as heck, eat fish and can grow up to 30 inches although the state record is only 8 lbs... <BR><a href="http://myfwc.com/fishing/fishes/pickerels.html" target="_blank">http://myfwc.com/fishing/fishes/pickerels.html</a> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/211269.jpg" alt="">

Well in Alberta people that talk pickeral really mean walleye. While jackfish or sloughshark is Northern Pike.

maestro 02-09-2005 8:49 AM

It's the same where I'm from Jeffrey... Pickerel generally refers to walleye...

Hahah weird you landed on a fish. <BR>I've got a story...but no pics to go along with it. A few years back me and my buddy used to go wakeboarding before school and one morning there was a huge flock of Canadian Geese. So I cut out so I could get a closer look at them and one of them like starting flying towards me. He chased me for sooo long, my buddy actually had to speed the boat up. Anyway I thought that was pretty funny.

im no ichthyologist(and didnt stay at a holiday inn) either, but i did olly a spoonbilled catfish in the river one time. it stunk.

I almost landed a fish while wakesurfing. Felt something flopping against my foot...looked down and it was a fish about 14" or so. Tried to reach down and grab it...but it slid off.
