State record northern pike set on Lake Erie near Presque Isle
A Fulton County angler, David Strait Jr., landed a 45 inch northern pike in Lake Erie near Presque Isle during Memorial Day weekend 1971. The fish weighed 21 pounds 4 ounces with a 20 inch girth and breaks the previous 42½ inch record set by John D. Fulton in Indiana County. The catch was verified by a Pennsylvania Fish Commission officer and measured for the organization’s citation program. The record shows Lake Erie remains productive with quality fishing.
