kemper Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Went down to my local pike hole today, hoping to get some revenge from the big bite off I had last night. Tossing XRAPs for the toothy critters i get SLAMMED. After a strike like that I thought it had to be a big gator...then it started peelin drag...and more drag...and more drag? That is no pike thats for sure, but what the hell is it?! Got my answer a few minutes later when it broke the surface in all her glory! A Beautiful hen brown! ...in 8 FOW, with an XRAP. Thats a first for me! Not the pike I was looking for but ill take it any day, also landed a 15 lb carp that decided to tangle with my X rap...probably not intentionally. Thats all for today kemper.
