Victor Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) Went out with my dad to a conservation area for the first time on the pike opener. Launched the canoe at around 8am and stayed till 2pm ... fishing was pretty slow for us. Tried trolling on the canoe for the first time as well, we only had one rod holder so I told my dad to hold on his rod while I use the rod holder and do the paddling. Man, paddling with two people and gear in the canoe by myself wasn't easy at all...i had to watch my rod, and battle the wind to try to keep us going in a straight line. My hard work was rewarded though ... Dad got the first fish of the day, a 17 incher... it's a small one but it's his first ever pike! Shortly after I hooked into one, came in at 24 inches, a fair sized fish for this lake. It has got a fat belly...we kept it and when I was cleaning its guts, i found a 6 inch rock bass in there. The WGSF was completely owned by this toothycritter. What a nice way to christen my new saros. As the sun went higher up the action died down, i caught another 17inch fish and we called it a day. Orange was the hot color of the day ... wish i had brought some orange marshmellows All in all a great day out on the water and some father&son time.

bpsbassman Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Nice report Victor. You can almost see that bulge in the pike that is probably the Rock Bass! Good to see you out with your Dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jediangler Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Way to go Victor, you gotta get an electric motor so you can keep both hands on rod. Not to mention save yourself some physical wear and tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Nice work. Not sure how a mere pike got the jump on a WGSF though.. Rock Bass = "Aqua Chuck Norris" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Great report Victor!! Cherish these times with your dad....I lost my dad in my mid 20's...and I wish that I could fish with him again...I rest comfortably though, knowing that he catching monsters up there in the sky....and something tells me that the fish are never out of season. Awesome pics! Congrats to the both of you on a great day out on the water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJL Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Nice pike! Was the rock bass part of your fish fry? LOL Does this mean you can cook up a fish fry on our road trips? Unleash the iron chef within! Top Angling Vic + dad. Bring your dad carp fishing again this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
