First Pike in 14 Years

[hoot33]

Hey all, Im pumped. I caught my first pike in 14 years yesterday. Was fishing for bass but he hit my top water frog.

 

He wasn't the biggest pike in the world but he sure was fun. Take a peek.

 

 

Its 5:14 am here and Im about to go and hit the water again.

 

Be back with more pics soon

If you start targetting them, you would be well advised to use a 80lb fluorocarbon leader with appropriate snaps and swivels.

 

After being bitten off with 30lb and then 50lb braid like it was cotton candy, I started using the fluoro and haven't been broken yet(fingers crossed).

 

Cheers,

What was the weapon of choice? I just got back from CT and picked up a few of my fav's!

[hoot33]

It was the same lure as the other day. Heres a pic, you can find it at canadian tire but I cant find it anywhere online.

 

 

Here is a pic of one very similar, but the one I was using had a single hook through the bottom.

Ya I really didnt think they'd be hitting it as hard as they were but in 6-8 ft of water it was working amazing, I was fishing for bass to be honest, but as soon as I noticed the pike striking I figured wth why not lol
