Look at this giant pike caught out of Noxon Reservoir!!

Nathan Snead recently caught this huge northern pike out of Noxon Reservoir during an ice fishing trip. After he landed this monster, Snead thought it might be a new Montana state record. However, after weighing the fish on a certified scale, it came up short at 34.6 pounds.  The current Montana state record pike is 37.5 pounds and was caught by Lance Moyer out of Tongue River Reservoir in southeastern Montana way back in 1972.

Very awesome catch–congratulations, Nathan!
