Well done,

 

I'm curious at what it went for.

 

They sometimes vary on their prey early in the season.

 

 

(everything or just about!!)

 

Seriously,

 

What was the bait?

i dont know if i can tell you that! but if you promise not to tell anybody i was using some frozen smelts we net out of the lake in the spring. give them the odd jig and we do well the average in that lake is about 5 lbs so big smelt are on the menu!

ok cool. I'd like to get into some pike, but last year i only used those little pinheads or whatever, big scoop for $5. I'll have to go big or go home.
