After starting in Elmwood Park, going up and downstream, me and Eddie found some cooperating Pike. I landed a 36"er and Eddie landed TWO 36"ers. In addition, Eddie added a fat 33", a 29", and a lunatic Pike that jumped onto his kayak, hooked his backpack, then hopped back off. We each lost a few more Pike, but made sure the big girls made it into the yaks. These big fish are no joke in the kayak, so for each plus sized fish, we paddled to shore, hopped out for a clean measurement and picture, and released.

Bonus Dundee condom pics, also released unharmed .

Nice fish gang! Thanx to all that participated. It certainly was a lovely weekend for a paddle. Big thanx to JonS from the Kayak Fishing Store. He came out both days to see us off. He did fish today as well. How did you make out buddy? Did you get that big old Carp on the fly rod? Pleasure meeting you, I can't wait to come to the shop to purchase a big boy kayak. It's definately time for an upgrade, LOL!!!!

And the winner of PIKE-A-THON 2014 is................................................ .......well, there's 2 winners, FASTEDDIE and SkunkCity. After looking at the pics we took of each other we decided to call it a draw. I'm sure one fish was a quater to half inch longer than the other, but the pics show them being equal. Landing these thick fish from yaks and having to take measurements is a task. I was drenched at one point from netting fish, fish trying to heave themselves out of the net. SHEEEEEEESH, this contest isn't all that easy. Hopefully I'll see more of you fine anglers out there next year. Again, thanx to all that gave it hell. For those of you that didn't make it, well it is what it is. Show up next time, you might have fun and possibly win some cash.

PIKE-A-THON 2014 is now over. See you maniacs out there!

TIGHT LINEZ!!!!!!!!!!! YEA BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT FISH, Eddie, and Skunk !!!! WOW, some beauties and great pictures too! I wish I could have made it, but with work and my daughter having my grandson, and minute/day....it's tough to be away for too long without checking my phone every two seconds.

CONGRATS !!!

Nice work finding those lower Passiac River monsters! I fished the hell out of the Two Bridges area Saturday only to come up with a large mouth and few rock bass. Huge thanks to Eddie for putting this thing together! Thanks also to the Kayak Fishing Store for supporting the Pike-a-thon!
