The
World Record Northern Pike was caught in the Great Sacandaga
Lake in 1940 by Pete Dubuc The 46-pound, 2-ounce
monster reigned as the planet's biggest pike until 1979,
when it was nudged into second place by a European fish.
While
the odds of catching another 40-something pike in Great Sacandaga
appear to be slim, numerous 30-pounders have been verified since
Dubuc's time, and trophy specimens in the 20- to 25-pound class
are hooked each season.
Amsterdam
pike expert Ron Kolodziej, who knows the reservoir as well as
anyone, is convinced it holds dozens of pike in the 40-pound
class.
Certainly, the optimum time to nail such whoppers is
in May, when many Great Sacandaga pike are still hanging around shoreline spawning
areas; but summer fishing can be productive, too.
The deeper northeast prong, with the village of Bachelorville
on its east shore, is the deeper of the two and therefore the likeliest spot
to prospect for trophy pike in summer
