PikeMolester

Today we headed back to the stumps because last week the action was really fun. I was hoping it would be like last week and hopefully land some pike because to me it seems to me the most evasive species. I just cannot catch any. The water cooled down to 54 degrees and we didn't even get a nibble doing the exact things we did the week earlier. Spinners didn't work so we tried some senkos with no luck at all. We then decided to try and jig for walleye because we have not caught any this summer at all and are very new to things like jigging 40 feet of water or trolling. Learning as we go typa deal. We managed to find a nice drop with fish on the fish finder. We caught 2-3 rock bass and 1 small walleye that wouldnt make it due to my inexperience. Mind you we were planning on eating any walleye we caught. The current was strong so we used large jigheads with Gulp Alive 2" minnows. All of a sudden I feel a snag. I thought I was caught on a log or something and yanked on it. Then I feel headshakes and think I have a nice walleye on, but then my line and reel start screaming and the fish starts running. I then realize it is no walleye but no idea what it was. It was the most intense fish fight I ever had cause I have not landed anything over 5 pounds yet and cannot catch pike for the life of me. Here is the jig I used and the Musky I caught. I cannot believe that I got this jigging a 2 inch minnow. I see that I hold it like a gun. I cannot help it. I was shaking and in shock. I never caught anything over 5 pounds or anything in the esox family rly. Do any of you professional have any estimates at size and weight? I didnt weigh it because I thought it was gonna be dead tired from the fight and pics but turns out it took off and splashed the second it touched water. I was out of the water for prolly just under 1 minute.

my buddy managed the bass of the day and the only pike a few weeks before.

I made a first post awhile ago with some smallies and largies along with our shad run. This is my second "report". Here was the first. http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.p...c=34672&hl= Last week we headed down to Lake St-Francis on the same day as the the tournament where the winner got a whopping 30.35lbs! Most of you from this forum never go to Francis but the guys on FishinCanada are more from that region and they do. I aint heard one report from St-Francis on this board besides mine. And it owns Simcoe/Erie and wtv else for smallies. We did not launch at Raisin River though. We made our way to the stumps slowly drifting and casting spinners into 8-10 feet of 63 degree water infested with tree stumps. We had a great time and landed eleven 2.5-4.5 largies/smallies on all spinners. We used black,white,chartreuse and some unique duel willows with black/red and pumpkinseed skirt and trailer/orange blade combos. It was my first time using my 20lb Power Pro in Phantom Red and I loved it. I also used a fluoro leader. I also used a white spro from once it got darker and landed a nice one from the slop.
