[HuntingNY-News]

The angler said it measured 51 inches. After the photo was taken it was released unharmed, he said.

Submitted photo Daniel Aguilar, of Pulaski, holds a monster northern pike he caught through the ice while fishing for perch Feb. 11 near the Henderson Harbor Boat Launch (town of Henderson Harbor).

"I was using a 16-inch HT fishing rod and micro reel spooled with 4-pound test line - the lure was a minnow pattern 1.5" slab spoon with a glow-in-the-dark back, tipped with a single perch eye, jigged just of the bottom in 10' of water.

"It took 20 minutes to land (with the assistance of several local fishermen). It measured 51 inches (unknown weight) and was released unharmed."
