Monster Northern Pike From Idaho's Lower Twin Lake Should Be New State Record
Monster Northern Pike From Idaho's Lower Twin Lake Should Be New State Record
On Friday, August 6, 2010, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho resident Kim Fleming landed the state’s largest northern pike ever recorded. The giant weighed 40 pounds, 2 ounces, beating the previous record by five ounces. Fleming was fishing for rainbow and cutthroat trout on Lower Twin Lake when the behemoth ate his offering, instead.

wow that is a really nice pike and even more amazing that it didn't shred your line. Congradulations on an awesome fish!
Monster Pike!
Great Photo!
wow, thats a fat pike
thats a brute...cant believe how fast they grow there
Pike are a real problem, when they are where they don't belong......they are eating machines...looks like lots of Pickled Pike in your future!!
Thats an amazing fish! Northerns are a problem, but boy, are they ever fun to catch!
Very nice fish,surprised that it didn't make short work of the line.Quick growing fish though.Sure can tell it likes the taste of the salmon and trout.
thats a big dang fish good catch up on the wall you go buddy boy.
Out of respect for the current holder of the Idaho State Record Pike of 39lbs. 13ozs.(mine is not official yet) I only bettered him by 5 ozs. not over a pound as the article states.

Thanks for the correction, Kim. Math never was, and has never been my best subject. (My bad... And to think, I even used a calculator!)
Now that's what I call 'monster fish'
look at the size of that head
Mr. Flemming save the lives of many trout. Great
job.
That Is a nice Pike considering most Pike Now Days are Hammer Handles Congradulations on that nice one.
Wow that is one amazing catch. Congrats.
Wow used to live in Hauser Lake only a few miles to the west of twin lakes, fished Hayden often But congratulations on that monster. always thought the record would come from Hayden.
that must have been one heck of a fight. it would definately go on the wall!
Big one----nice fish
That Rocks..what a great story. I can't believe it didn't cut the line with its teeth good thing it was in the lip!
Wow, I feel week in the knees.
Beats my personal record by 10 and a half inches.
god that fish is big
This thing is huge!
The head on that slab is bigger than the angler's noggin!
Awesome catch!
fat pike
which ocean picks live?
That is an awsome fish. Congrats!
Great catch,that is the fattest pike I've ever seen! Never caught anything near 50" in Ohio,got a few that were 40-42",that had to be a really good fight,congrats!
congrads on the big fish hope that you can top that
I make it a point never to shop at fishing shops who spam F&S. Bad form. :(
IT'S FUNNY HOW (FISHING) CULTURE IS DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. IN WISCONSIN WE PUT A LOT MORE VALUE ON A PIKE FROM THE STANDPOINT OF BOTH TABLE FARE AND AS A GAME FISH. I GUESS I'VE CAUGHT SO MANY TROUT AND SALMON HERE ON THE GREAT LAKES... PROBABLY EXPLAINS WHY LARGER PIKE HERE ARE MORE APT TO BE RELEASED AS THEY AREN'T CONSIDERED A PREDATOR TO BE HKILLED... AS A TROPHY GIVE ME THAT PIKE OVER ANY SALMON OR TROUT...
Man what a pike great photos
Damn.
Beautiful fish. Nice catch!
Wheres the license plate?
I'll take two!!!

Awesome. The attractor rig seems like perfect gear for pike. You were obviously going for trophy trout. Idaho always has something up her sleeve!
