Over 600 pike in a week 2024
Dwight Hottle reply :
I just got back from a one week fishing trip at lake athabasca in northern Saskatchewan Canada. My buddy & I caught over 600 pike for the week opener. We had 13 fish boated over 20 lbs. Our biggest fish was 29 lbs. We had two 27lbers, a 26lb, 24lb, 23lb & numerous 20-22 lbers. Best two baits were a lc pointer 128 & a blue fox vibrax spinner with orange fluted french blade. What a slimy week it was!

Grey Wolf reply :
What a great trip that must have been !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Goose52 reply :
Just outstanding - you must have had a permanent grin for a week !
I can't imagine catching 600 fish in a week (or 600/2=300 ea) ! Here I was a bit jazzed in catching about 110 fish so far in the month of June... ;D
Lucky Craft Man reply :
Great looking fish!
Those 128's must have taken a beating. How many times did you have to change out the hooks?
Dwight Hottle reply :
LCM, I onlu used one lc pointer 128 for the whole week. I only used the tail treble hook which I replaced once. The bait lost most of the paint & coloration.

Wow. Each one of those fish would be a once in a lifetime for me. I did a fly in to northern Quebec, biggest pike was ~10 pounds. That is simply amazing.

Me too. My biggest is an 18 lb. from Conesus.
Simply outstanding, once again Dwight!

roadwarrior reply :
WOO-HOO!
Man, what a trip. Great fish and great pics!
A-Jay reply :
Holy Smokes Dwight ! You did it again ! 600 pike in a week, that's a life time of fish for most of us.
I caught two last week and I thought that I was the man - haha.
If you were out for 8 hours each day ~ that's a fish every 5 minutes and 36 seconds !
Your guide certainly earned his tip that week.

Dwight Hottle reply :
A-Jay, what helped the total count was one day we had 120 fish before lunch! Ended that day with 145 & then quit early. We even managed to catch a few of these bonus fish.
A-Jay reply :
"120 fish before lunch" WOW ! That's just obscene.
Those "bonus" lakers are gorgeous.
I've also wanted to make Canadian pike / laker trip.
By the looks of this one you guys had decent weather and a great time.
Thank you for sharing Dwight

In some of the smaller ponds/lakes I catch a 25" to 30" pickerel sometimes and what a fight it is. I don't mind taking a break catching bass to land a big pickerel. My point is i can't believe what a fight it would be with a northern.

You're a sick man!!!
That is some week, Dwight. Let me know when the smallmouth start picking back up. I'll be there.
RoLo reply :
What can I say Dwight, you ARE the "Gator Master"!
Not to mention those lake trout to die for, which most likely were your primary target.
Your uncanny success on Athabaska has got me seriously revamping my pike vacation.
Thanks for sharing Dwight, and you can bet I'm taking notes.
