[rgang4]

My boys have been taking advantage of the fishing in the heart of Montana's fabled trout rivers. They have discovered there is something bigger than the biggest brown trout lurking in the deeper pools of a local stream;


Some big bad pike!

Probably no known weight but I guess it's well into the teens. Shane is 5-11 and about 180, just like dad about 35 years ago. He's thirty but I am still a proud dad!

Cool! I couldn't open the first link, are they native there?

Not sure of their origin in the Clark's Fork. Possibly there via bucket biologists but then again most all of those rivers drain into or out of a lake and many are interconnected somehow.

The first link is a still photo. Not sure why I can open it but others can't.

That boy needs a landing net! First link wouldn't work. Is his girlfriend from Britain?

He sure does! Told him he'd do himself and the fish a favor by getting a net.

Kelsey, Shane's girlfriend, is a Montana native.
