OutdoorHub Managing Editor Dave Maas traveled to Aikens Lake Wilderness Lodge in Manitoba during spring 2017, and there he witnessed an innovative technique for catching monster northern pike. As you’ll see in this video, guide Austin Los uses an inline planer board to position dead ciscoes away from the boat, and the results are amazing. Watch carefully to see how the pike is able to pull the planer board beneath the surface! And check out the girth on this 45-inch pike; Austin estimates the fish weighed 25 pounds. The fish swims away under full power, ready to be caught again!
