I can actually relate to your experience JMahon. Last winter on Simcoe I was jigging a little #2 Jiggin' Rap with 3 1/2 pound test and hooked into a pike. Man, when that reel starts to peel, you really hold your breath, eh! Everything has to work out just right.

 

So what was the size of the hole you drilled? 6-inch? That usually becomes a bit of a trick too!

that is a very respectable pike too, nice job (and a bit of luck not getting bit off)

[Leecher]

Nice surprise for sure

Got to hate that when it happens

 

Good job JMahon

what a blast! On light tackle that must've been fun

 

did ya eat it?

[JMahon]

Oh ya, it was definately a blast with the UL tackle! I was fishing out of an 8" hole...so I had a lil more leeway to get his head up! & No, I didn't eat him...he's back out there waiting to be caught again sometime!
