l2p Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) After a long night of bar hopping i woke up this afternoon feeling worst than better, i ate a small breakfast(granola bar) and was out the door. with all the recent pike posts i figure i go down to the usual and see if i could get into some. ended the day going 7/8 all smallish fish lost the largest one(go figure) sucks pike fishing by yourself specially when you forgot your pliers enjoi beat up one(looks like the bully that had him could easily fit a chunk of this fish in his mouth) bumped into my friend taylor later on, he ended up landing this one and then loosing the largest fish of the day. the worst part is the fish took off with hook line sinker... rod reel.. turned to be the sad ending of a good days fishing Edited May 7, 2009 by l2p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l2p Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 unfortunately as he went to gill the fish it turned around and decided to head home, by this point in time he had already set his rod down thinkin the fish was all tired out. sure does suck!

tdotfisherman Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Nice pics.. you should always remember the pliers.. they are very useful.. along with jaw spreaders.. Looks like you really hit them good.. I was out fishing yesterday afternoon for Pike and I didn't see or catch any.. but on Monday they were on fire.. strange little buggers they are.. nice report!

MJL Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Great report and pics! Pike fishing without pliers...That made me cringe...Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Anyone who fishes pike with me knows I have a phobia when it comes to multiple treble hooks and toothy (and also very slimy) critters. With that said, I wouldn't mind having a go at the big mamma that took a few chunks out of that little one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
