The real OG.

Big Mepps but a spoon works really well for some reason. My last northerns were caught on perch colored Rapalas

The biggest northerns I've ever caught were with big minnows on tip-ups. It's tough to ignore big live bait.

My go to has been the CNR-8 rapala clackin rap for the past 5 years or so. They discontinued them now so I will have to move on. I also really like the 2-1/2 ounce red eye wiggler spoons.

Take the treble off the bottom of the pike...

Along with the nice silver spoon action, these two kick ass!

Various inline muskie sized bucktails. I do use a few muskie sized crankbaits as well. I love big pike fishing. We have done pretty well in Manitoba and Ontario in Canada and Minnesota close to home. Lots of pike 36" to 45". My daughter had her first nice sized one, a 39", hit right at boat side and scared the bejesus out of her. She was instantly hooked and now loves fishing for them as well.

Artificial - The Len Thompson 5 of Diamonds



Bait - 8" sucker minnow on a bare hook.

 

[Dougfirtree]

Most of my biggest pike have been caught on spinner baits.

 

[seeth07]

Any musky bait. Casting for muskies and the big pike always come. Had some monsters on bulldogs, big top waters and the big cow girl spinner baits.

Most of my biggest pike have been caught on spinner baits.

Couldn't agree more with this statement......Montana ain't just for trout....

My brother was trying to tell me buzzbaits were the end-all for pike. I disagreed and told him I had the new secret lure. We were fishing the same lake on kayaks, on the same day. Pulled out a red/white daredevil. Schooled him that day and a couple more times since. He still likes fishing buzzbaits but he seems to throw spoons lately too. To date, he has never outfished me when I’m using the old red/white favorite. May be purely coincidental but I haven’t ever been disappointed.

Not monsters, but Frogs, rapalas, and jitterbugs get results!

I think for that pike, it was just about trout. Looks like he's got about 30 of them in his belly! That's a hog!

I caught my biggest pike, 46”, on a 3/8 oz fireball lead head with a 3” paddle tail minnow jigging for walleye on lake of the woods. I caught 7 pike in 7 casts on a Johnson silver minnow on a tributary To the koyokuk River in nw Alaska. All of those were 30-35” but were really good grilled over a fire after eating freeze dried meals for a few days.
