North Idaho angler Scott Kerns now holds the the
Idaho catch-and-release record for Northern
Pike. He caught a 44-plus inch Northern Pike
while ice fishing on Hayden Lake in early March.
The fish, weighing approximately 33 pounds, was
a true trophy for any angler.
Kerns wasn't the first person to catch this
particular fish.
The Idaho Department of Fish and Game caught,
tagged, and released this large Northern Pike as
part of a fisheries study on Hayden Lake in
2015.
Kerns reported the tag information on this fish,
helping Fish and Game biologists better
understand the Hayden Lake fishery.
