 @farmer56 It sounds like we would get along very well! I love chasing giant Pike and all the different ways to catch them. My biggest Pike or PB that I've caught was a 42" big shouldered 22 pounder up in Geraldton, Ontario. The sad part of that particular day was that I had 5 giant fish all stacked in one small area, tucked up on the outside edge of a pretty big section of Lilly pads that were right next to deep water. These fish were ALL above 40", and I'm certain one was close to 50". My problem was that at that time (young guy) I didn't own an actual sturdy Pike or Musky set up. I was using my old fiberglass 5'6' Lews Speed Stick with a ABU 5500c and 14lb test!!! If I could go back in time that would have been an epic day on the water...no doubt.   
 Farmer56 you're in a great area to catch a giant Pike and I hope that 2023 is your year! My father was a tremendous fisherman and hunter...a true outdoorsman, who raised 3 boys to really appreciate nature...I believe you're on the right path of doing the same with your kids. I do have that Pike mounted on my wall, but since those days I am a Catch and Release guy. Catch, Photo and Release! Good luck #Farmer56!

What are your fishing goals for 2023?

Mine......

catch a yellowtail on a surface iron
catch a halibut
catch a bft over 150/200#
help my friend catch his first bft

I'm sure there's more but that's all I got for now.....

I know 2023 isn't over yet but at this point I've only accomplished #4....

Who's hit their 2023 fishing goals?

I had to think about this one.

Not possible to put numbers on it, fish are just too unpredictable.
    1. Have fun and enjoy the outdoors, observe and learn while fishing.
    2. Relax while doing it.
    3. Increase my Tag and Release numbers.
    4. Have hips and knees fixed to be able to fish for another 10 years..... I hope.
    5. Catch Yellowtail at varied shore places.
    6. Catch more squid.

the year is coming to an end, now for the excuses as I have not achieved much :

Have been laid up for 4 month after a hip operation
Only fixed one hip, lots more pain to be repaired
One of my boat fishing buddies is seriously ill, he won't likely be on a boat again
Weather has not played ball
Squid has been poor and also need boat for that

Sorry to hear about your fishing buddy! And, you are correct...'23 is going to be "history" before we know it, but.......my wife and I got back to the island, yesterday, so I'm *hoping* for a "strong finish" to the year!  I'd like to have a "good" charter experience (my first was a disaster!), and I'd like to catch a shark(doesn't have to be a big one....just a little bonnet head would do!.....and I'd like to "gather up" a few more "fishin' buddies"!
