2nd times a charm: I was hunting for 40 + pike
2nd fish of the trip put a smile on my face:
this old beast crushed my Agila. 42 incher
The next morning, first fish, a 43 in PB that ended up being biggest fish of the trip:
Second fish
this bruiser put a hole in my net with his beak. Ended up with 3 over 40 for the trip, and one at 39 3/4,(no tail pinch) and too many to count in the almost there range
More on the trip from Rodcaster later, including an ear to ear smile on the young man for getting his PB in a special quest for him
Beauty spot, big water; long drive
