What sort of size pike can you get through the ice? All the pictures I see have been quite small do you ever hook any thing and think I should have dug that a bit bigger. Last of all lets see the tackle and rigs as the ones I have seen are very small rods is this the norm.

Ice fishing rocks! And the best part is that instead of your beer getting warm, it actually gets colder!!

Pike usually range from 20" (snakes) to about 40" here in WI. Lake Puckaway and Big Green Lake are known for large Pike and I only live about 10 mins away from each (right in between em). Puck also has some slob Walleye (30+") and over 10 lbs!!!! Cant wait to get out there!!! Will be posting pics of fish caught this winter thru ice on the fishing forum!!!

Well you can get pikes to how ever big they are in the lake. When I got I hook my tip-ups with steel leaders and a good size hook. Basiclly if u can fit threw the hole u can get it.

This is my personal best pike. Cuz it was my 1st one and it happned to get threw the ice.
25inch kinda small for a pike. Keepers in that lake is 32inch.

Pike in my lake seem very fickle. I cut a very big hole, and jig for panfish with one line, and drop some monster bait on the other line. I love it when the little fish scatter, you know whats coming. I have seen some monster pike investigate my bait, but never had one take it.
