Welcome to the Idaho record fish books, Timothy Hicks!

Timothy was fishing on Lake Pend Oreille on June 13 when he landed a 49.75-inch Northern pike. The Post Falls angler's pike beat out the previous catch-and-release record caught by Scott Blahnik in 2020. Timothy's pike was a mere 3/4 of an inch longer, earning himself the top spot in the record fish books. 

    The newest record-setting Northern pike is measure on a boat in Lake Pend Oreille.
