January 31st is history and so is the Pilgrim Village’s 12th Annual Pike Spearing Contest. It has been fun with often daily changes in the standings. Many have up-graded their fish several times. Heard stories of monster pike flashing through the holes. Usually, the really BIG ones don’t give much of a chance. Lots of “old Moes” are still out there.

1st Place was taken by Ray Long who waited for the
Last Day of the contest to spear a 37 1/4″,13.70 lb pike.
He usually sees several pike but this was the first big one.
