my friend caught him at a local lake. he gave it to me as a birthday present.

Thats some darn good color on that mini bucketmouth

Wait till he gets bigger, man they are neat to watch grow. how big is his mouth now? racketball size?

I've always wanted a pike but i need a bigger tank.

Oh man youd need a HUGE tank for a northern.

i know but i've seen them in 200 gal before and he seemed happy.

200g is ok for one around 4-6 pounds more towards 4-5 pounds max. they dont get long, I got an 8# a few years back and it was only 20" long but weighed 8 pounds, big ol belly on her.

I gotta get a bigger house to get a bigger tank. somehow my tv's take up more wall space then they used to

try some grass pike/pickerel...they look like a pike but only get to be about 8 to 10 inches...plus they have a cool looking black line through their eye

thats my future plan anyways

man id love to get one of those. Idk there is a place that I fish regularly in the summer near terra haute that allows you to keep bass under 12" so If i nab a small one i might consider bringing it home. The lake is overstocked thats the only way id feel good about taking a fish out of the lake.
