GbayGiant Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Well last time out yesterday got a huge pike, and went out musky fishing again today and surprise- surprise another nice one but smaller than the last one, pike that is, can't get any musky, lol. This one was on the other side of the bay not even close to where I got the one yesterday but same lure and same deal, it hit on a 15" hump off a point rite when it started bouncing. I heard my real clicker start to scream and looked back and seen a nice fish fly totally out of the water 4 or 5 feet, so of course I thought to myself "nice finally another musky" started reeling it in and it jumped clear out of the water again, got it to the boat and its a damn Pike, anyway not bad but it totaled the lucky Firetiger Jake and swallowed all the hooks so I had to cut them all out but she did swim away with no blood. So much for that myth that Pike don't jump I guess. I had no idea this Jake was wood, always thought they were plastic ? well off to the repair shop she goes.

DANIMAL Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Nice pike. I dont think thats a jake, Ive disected them before and they are plastic. I think the grandma lures used to be wood and they look the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Great stuff John.. and quit putting the hook thru your line guides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GbayGiant Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) I'm almost positive it's a Jake Dan but could be wrong, maybe Jake's use to be wood too ? I wish they were all wood still though could be they reason this one is working so good with a little different action. It's the exact same as my other Jake's in size and shape and my Grandmas have a different lip and a little smaller but could be a old style Grandma. Great stuff John.. and quit putting the hook thru your line guides Yeah, that was just for the shot Wayne, I usually hook the top hook onto the reel so the hooks don't scratch the rod or bend the guides.

pike slayer Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 nice pike! i got a few lures that look like that to. pike do jump, not like a bass though. ive even had pike jump out of the water and on the way down grab my lure. on the weekend my buddy lost a nice 8-9pike cause it jumped and spit the hook.

Rizzo Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 wow, that's a beauty pike. At that size, I'd actually enjoy it rather than the usual "dang pike" reaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GbayGiant Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) Thanks boys. wow, that's a beauty pike. At that size, I'd actually enjoy it rather than the usual "dang pike" reaction Yeah I hear you Rizzo, they are still nice to get when there big but they are big enough to think you got a musky and then they get to the boat and it's not, but I can't complain they were fun to catch. Think I'll have to go with the 14" Jake's next time out, these 10"ers are to small for the muskies this year apparently.

sharper Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Thats a monster pike good job! I'm surprised pike jump as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 14" Jake's next time out man oh man where will it end! I've got a 36 inch novelty Rapala lure (in firetiger I might add), I think I'm going to try trolling it tomorrow. Tie it off to the transom and troll it for a few minutes in the prop wash!

Moosebunk Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Don't go dissing the pike. They're better fighters than them muskies.... Ahem (or so I'm told) lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GbayGiant Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Ha, that would be a sight Rizzo, might be a little to big but I have seen a pic of a guy that got one on a 22" custom crankbait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
