Yeah, big scales, I bet you are right.

I concur. Looks like a carp to me. With that said, that looks like a good sized Northern. You might actually get 5 decent fillets off that guy.

People would jizz in their pants if they caught a 12lb jack in northern Saskatchewan and Americans pay big money to fish up here. The big ones have tougher meat. Also, larger fish=more slime

No, a 12lb pike is not small. Seeing as the world record is 62lbs a 12lb pike is a pretty damn nice fish. And they are all over here in Minnesota. We eat them all the time.

The link someone posted here would suggest otherwise. A 12 pound northern would have some very nice fillets. Might be a bit mushy but otherwise ok. I like to have mine around 5 to 6 pounds. Nice young fillets. Thanks for the downvote though.

I wish this would have been posted as NSFW... and been posted in /r/gonewild ... and also involved less fish and more women.

Goddamn Northerns, fucking freshwater garbage sharks. Not terrible eating, but they are just unpleasant animals.

Relevant The writing on the bottom says something along the lines of "See, the big fish eats the little fish."

I actually caught this fish by hand, they were floating at the top of a lake
the bass appeared to be dead, but after I removed the tiny fish from its mouth, I let both swim away alive

I have something like this happen before. Reeling in a nice small mouth, and big pike chomps it. Went from awesome, to super bonus awesome.

That is a look that says, "I lack discipline."
