So who am I? Well I’ll give my nickname, and plenty of friends call me by that handle of Big Alaska, or you can just call me Alaska if you’re feeling short and friendly about it.
Why make a website on fishing for northern pike? Because I’ve been fishing for pike for over 15 years and fell in love since the first strike. During that time I have spent many hours on the lakes and rivers of Ontario, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Alaska fishing for that elusive trophy. Ironically while chasing some pike, my Dad accidentally caught a world record grass carp, but even getting a certificate from the Fishing Hall of Fame isn’t enough to sway him away from pike fishing.
One of the best moments of my life was an exhausting 4 hours trolling the backside of Boy Scout Island in Lac Des Mille Lacs in Ontario, Canada, and catching 6 pike in the 8-14 pound range on an ultra light fishing rod (it looked like a toy for a 6 year old) with 4 pound test line. I’ve never been so happy to not lift my arms in my life!
Through this page I’ll share from my 15 years of northern pike fishing experience and hopefully give you some tips or advice that will help you on your pursuit of these wonderful freshwater game fish. I might not be a professional, but I’ve caught hundreds of pike and have learned from my father who has been pike fishing for 40 years and counting. I’ve caught many pike and will keep on catching more. See ya’ on the waters!
