Cudz Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 1. I was out fishing with a friend today and we were drop shotting tiny tubes and micro senkos for perch. All of a sudden my friend hooks into a big (relative to the perch we were catching) pike. He hooked it perfectly in the side of the mouth. Hard to catch pike on a drop shot setup when the hook is attached directly to the 8 pound line. He was using a tiny pearl 2" (yes 2") senko. The pike was about 9 pounds and we even managed to land it. I have a pic as well but it is on my friend's phone. 2. The other day I caught a 10" crappie on pearl 10cm x-rap. (not so unbelievable) 3. I have a tackle box full of $10-$30 lures and I threw out a popper that I bought at dolarama for a buck. After only 2 casts I caught a 16.5" 2 pounde smalie. Too funny.

danbouck Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Gave a buddy a cheap (very cheap) 2" plastic lure from Scotland and he pulled in a 4 pound smallie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purekgw Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 i was using a huge musky lure just for laughs and caught a 1lb small mouth the back treble hook was in its mouth the lure could have eaten the bass..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I caught a 9" crappie on a musky spinner bait last week....I dont' know what it was thinking? Also been getting lots of eyes on musky baits this season so far......they'll eat anything it seems. Sinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I was jigging for walleye with a white/pink twister tail and a 10 pound pike slammed it. Amazing I brought it in considering the 6 pound mono without a leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cudz Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 One more for you. About 20 years ago we were downrigging for lakers on simcoe and I was reading fish at about 25 ft over 90ft of water. Because the LCR 2000 was such a basic finder I assumed the suspended fish were just clutter or false readings. I threw out a deeper diving big rapala fat rap and caught a 7 pound whitefish.

Hillrat Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Had a honkin big Perch latch onto a rattlin rap once while fishing for pike, but I guess that wasn't too strange. By far the weirdest is not once but twice nhow I have seen my roomie hook into a big Muskie while we were fishing for Bass. First time was on a 6" Senko. Got it in the corner of the mouth then ran under a log or something under water. He fought the thing for a good long while, the whole time rubbing his line back and forth across said log. Just when he was about to give up the fish came ouy and after a few mins he landed it. Think it measured out to 41". The Second was while casting tubes for smallies in a river. Again, corner of the mouth, and the fish was landed. Lucky sot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I've witnessed both Lake Trout and Pike in the thirty lb. range caught with 1 1/2 inch jigs intended for Brook Trout. In fact my good fishing Bud caught a mid 40's Pike last weekend under the same circumstances. It happens too often up here. The fewer Pike that I catch, the better.

Cudz Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Perch are a bit nuts. My friend actually uses Rapala HJ12s for perch. They love it. I have also caught small rockbass on big spinnerbaits. This winter, a student of mine, caught a 50" musky on tiny rapala ice fishing jig. Corner of mouth caught and landed.

Oktravis Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I was chucking spoons off the pier for salmons in the fall .I watched a 20 lb carp chase down my 2\5 blue little cleo and just smash it. It chased it for a good 6 ft before inhaling it I landed it in shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmeh Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 This past winter I caught 2 pike while bottom bouncing worms for trout, which I thought was quite unusual. The really strange part was that I landed both of them even though I had a 4lb fluro leader on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
