Randy Straker was fishing with a friend when he hooked into a 14-pound northern pike on Great Slave Lake “We were about to grab the fish,” Straker told Moose FM. “As it flared up its gills and its mouth opened up, you could see this very fluorescent blue and green.”

“It was quite a bit lighter [in colour] with very definitive green”

“The bottom lip, in particular, was very fluorescent green and the tongue, the side and the top of the mouth was a combination of fluorescent blue and green.”

Straker told Moose FM parts of the back were also greener than normal. He says he’s caught pike with lighter skin and different patterns in the past but this was unlike any fish he’s ever landed.

After his friend, Craig Thomas, snapped a couple of quick photos Straker released the fish back into the lake

Fish'n Canada

The Fish’n Canada Show first aired in 1986 with phenomenal success. In 1988 the program went coast to coast on CBC, the first North American weekly fishing show to broadcast on a national network. In 1992 the show went into syndication adding Global Television Network, prominent CTV and affiliates, and several cable networks. The move resulted in unprecedented fishing audiences. With the addition of WFN U.S. and The Sportsman Chanel Canada today the Fish’n Canada show dominates the airwaves with a national weekly reach of 3.5 million and ama of over 450,000 easily making it one of the most-watched “outdoors” programs in North America.
