dsn Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Thought I'd head out for salmon again and I get into a pike that just won't give up. First hook set he jumps. His mouth opens and... He tries for another jump . The water was glass calm so there was lots of splashing I manage to get him to calm down cause people were walking by. Now he starts to move again slowly and all of a sudden, all hell breaks!! He must have jumped 3-4 times during the fight. Too bad this shot didn't come out as I tought it would. It was dark still when I got out and the setting on the camera was for dim lighting so it was a slow shutter setting. But my fingers weren't awake this morning as you will see neither was my brain. This was the final result. Just wasn't my day for pics of myself I guess. When I released it.The fish got me good in the face. I was soaked and refreshed. I guess he was having a bad too.

007 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) That's a funny looking carp dsn! Have you given up on the bottom dwellers? Nice pike mate! Glad he gave you a good fight - its better that those toothy critters get it out of their system in the water rather than when you're unhooking them in my experience! What type of lure did you get him on fishing addict? 007 Edited October 23, 2007 by OO7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
