We pulled a good one out from under the ice that hit on a dead sucker baited under a tip-up. It was 34", 11# and we fried it up for dinner back at camp. Getting closer to a goal of finding a 40" northern pike on one of these trips.

Back at it to chase flags for Northern Pike but with -25f nights we needed to focus first on splitting and stacking hardwood to feed the stoves.
Sharing a harvest and breaking down a white-tail deer with @returntonature
Solid ice and fun this weekend catching Northern Pike and enjoying a fish fry with @groves_al and his kids.
Enjoyed an Adirondack canoe in buck hunt with two skilled hunters. The challenge is the opportunity in those woods and a "good buck" is hard to find.
Simmered the skull on a propane campstove after removing the hair and hide. Popped out the ear buds with a screw driver and then used a small knife and stiff bristled brush to loosen up what was still attached before washing it all clean. It simmered some more with a scoop of oxyclean and i'm calling it done. I don't care much to whiten it further with Salon40 or shine it up with mop & glow. It took awhile to get clean but overall no more unpleasant than pulling meat off a cooked soup bone.
