Northern Pike caught on Shipahoy41 lures (Photo)

I made some four inch paddle tail yellow perch for Jerry Lewis who was planning a fishing trip to Pipestone Lodge in Ontario Canada. Jerry is from Kansas City. This is his report to me I received by email yesterday.....

Love fishin in the rain as long as it isn't accompanied by electricity."

Good Job Ship! Those are some monsters.

That's pretty cool ship

wow Mike I think you are onto something keep up the good work I'm sure the word will get around you be making some monster ones for marlin fishing next I didn't know that you had a mold to make 4 inch.

That top picture looks almost as though it were a Muskie. The barring on the body looks vertical, not horizontal like a northern. I say almost because the lines are thin and hard to discern, then the lighter flank color and white belly make me want to say Muskie too. The shape of the head has Muskie written on it. Nice fish regardless.

Congrats on cooking up a winning bait Mike.

Nice Mike!!!!! Those toothy critters are fun to catch!!!!!!!!!

I just posted what Jerry sent to me in the email. Those are his words...not mine. I have not fished for or ever caught a Muskie or a Pike. I hooked one once DAVID BUT IT SOON BROKE MY 6LB LINE. YES, i WAS FISHING FOR CRAPPIE AND NOT TOOTHY CRITTERS. lol I am a crappie fisherman and proud of it. :Rofl:Rofl :Rofl:Rofl

good for you Mike I don't have any thing that big for musky pickerel or pike I do have a 4 inch skirt for bass but I do not have anything else for bigger fish most of my stuff is for crappie I know I have a big demand for Bass baits but it would take a lot of money to get geared up to get into that side of making plastic bait.

Shipahoy41

While Pan Fishing in 6ft of water on the Chippewa Flowage WI

A Musky hit this 1/32 oz Twister Tail Jig, using Stren 6# Magnathin.
seemed forever playing, and back reeling to get her in.
Measured Over 48”+, and 18”+ Girth, Estimated Weight was 32 lbs

Never thought we would land this one, since we only had a pan fishing landing net which only her head fit then bending the handle to boot, we had to cradle her to the side and kind of rolled her in.


PICs were taken with a cell phone and the Musky Was Released to be

Caught again
