The Zippel Bay area of Lake of the Woods has a well-deserved reputation for big northern pike, but 10-year-old Leah Saffert and her dad, Jamie, weren’t prepared for the fish they encountered at the end of her line on New Year’s Eve morning.

To say it was a monster wouldn’t be exaggerating.
 

Jamie, Leah and her brother, Scott, of Rice Lake, Wisconsin, were staying in the family’s ice shack at Zippel Bay out of Zippel Bay Resort for a couple of days over New Year’s when they decided to start the morning of Dec. 31 by setting some tip-ups for northern pike.
