When pike attack!

[kemper]

I was leisurely retrieving this bass (1.5-2lbs), when from the depths a toothy critter decided that he wanted a snack.

 

Neat picture, I think.

 

 

Anyone else have similar shots?

Cool pic. Happens all the time.

 

I managed this shaky video last June with the help of my 5 year old son Brendan:

Was reeling in this little bass when a 25" er attacked it,

 

 

Caught it eventually...

Pretty cool when your 5 year old asks if you if you need a cradle.

here's another cool one (not mine), except it's the opposite of the pike attacking a fish

Almost makes you think twice before reaching down to grab the intentionally caught fish...

Happens to me at least once every fall. The big girls want a big meal.

The pike i fish for would not be interested in those tiny minnows

[northernpike56]

 

here's a pic I took when I was at one of my favorite rivers. While I was fishing, all these minnows would scatter to the surface, sometimes even jump out of the water, and I had no clue why. Maybe a spawning type of or something. But anyways, as I continue fishing, eventually I actually see whats causing this. This guy, who was probably close to 2.5 feet gorging himself on all the minnows that were there. Theres a reason why I always carry a point-and-shoot style with me when fishing!!

Never had it happen with a pike but I've had it happen quite a few times on a small lake in Haliburton w muskie.

In fact the biggest muskie I've ever seen on Balsam Lake practically swallowed a 3 lb smallie I had on - he t boned it and all you could see hanging out of his mouth was a little bit of tail and my orange jig. Needless to say every muskie hunting trip we now spend at least 30 minutes on this weedbed. Never caught el Gigante but we have got numerous muskie off this piece of cover

That's why I never go skinny dipping in those lakes---esp if they've been hitting worms!
