Sweet
Appears some good fillets on that guy
Does that meet the size limit posted or slot regulation
In your state ?

Minnesota changed the northern pike possession lengths/limits across the state so now people really need to know what each lake's slot and possession numbers are.  I have no idea what the slot length starts at but I think its 24". Keep anything under than and only one above a certain longer length. I don't keep northerns so I don't fret it much. But that's a nice catch there for Hoodlum and Mrs. Hoodlum.

Yep !
Our lakes have regulations posted at their landings if different from the booklet
Some lakes have cut back on pan fish
for 15 in total w/5 only of the same species
Those toothy critters are fun to catch
Best not try an lip one :o

Way to go Hoodlum, and Welcome again!

Thanks Guys!
The slot here in Northern Mn. Is really messed up
They want you to keep, 5 under 22"  or 1 over 36"
Both of those fish went back in the lake
Some lakes around me have a 40" rule you can take 1 fish per year and it has to be over 40" and they want it documented to boot ::)
Here's my Bait it came in on
Black Bullfrog and orange body, With Chart/Halo glitter tail.

Real nice work on the frogs.
Been thinking about getting this mold.
Do the legs make as good or better noise/ water disturbance than a Caney Creek Croaker or  Stanley Ribbit Frog?

Thanks!
This is going to go way off topic in a hurry!
I'll start another fish pix thread so this doesn't get too muddy
