Not a great start but a couple fish landed. 30 minutes in and had a follow to the kayak. Figure 8 tricked him and he was in the kayak a couple minutes later. Solid 35 inch fish.........camera mount doesn't work. ..plan B...Camera phone. .can't swipe to camera with wet fingers. ..pike jumps out Of kayak.

After that, landed a 28 inch pike and then a 20 inch. Pictures to follow.

On the way in, played around with a 36 inch fish that didn't want to play nice.

Great fish Ed !!

Glad to hear you found your toothy friends after a rough week locating them. Fishing for Pike from the Yak can be a task when your alone. Sounds like a few of us lost a good fish yesterday. Stay on there trail buddy! See you out there!

Off to a good start I am jealous

Well, got out today after the rain stopped and caught a few more Pike but nothing huge landed or hooked. Most waters were off color of course but there were a few areas that produced some fish. Nothing to brag about today. Landed 3, 1 @ 31 inches and 2 @ 24 inches or so. It'll take a couple days for the river to go back to it's normal brown color. At least we didn't get hammered and completely blown out.

TIGHT LINEZ GUYZ!!!

SHOW ME THEM TEETH!!!

Let me get this straight...all I see is a bunch of fish stories with no monsters on a ruler!?!? What is this amateur hour??? And Eddie catches the biggest one so far but doesn't even measure it??? He basically just spat in yo face!!! Throw up a 38" and make him sweat a little, he thinks he's going to win this with a 40"! Looks like there's a lot of shade in that one pic buddy...hahahaha

Went today to a spot where I had them yesterday that produces in poor conditions. Not a monster at 29.5" but certainly a lot of fun, especially after the rain last night. FYI, I wet the ground with spring water prior to laying the fish down to prevent any slime loss.

If you look over my right shoulder you can see the river.

Heading off to Massachusetts until Friday. Catch 'em up!

Some more rounds of rain this week but hopefully nothing heavy and scattered.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Must be nice when you can get out and whack a big Pike on your lunch break. Hit the river for an hour today and yes it was high, yes it was almost unfishable, yes its as dirty as it gets. But 1 Pike decided she was hungry today. What a battle! Fish hit a 9 inch plug after a little twitch, twitch. All of the sudden, BOOM!!! This fish was all over the river jumping like a complete maniac. The aerial show was a sight to see. Finally I get the fish in the net and the damn net breaks and the fish almost flops back into the river. No, oh no, I'm saying to myself. Your not getting away from me you sexy Pike. Yep, I tackled her to the ground and got all banged up in the process. Put her back in the water while i goy my water, tape and Camera ready. All this while holding her by the tail so she wouldn't get stressed. Unbelievable!!! I need a new net, a bigger net! Here's the pics of the 36 1/2. The fight was nutz! Get out there guyz and girlz! The Pike have been hitting hard for over 3 weeks already.

TIGHT LINEZ!!!

SHOW ME THOSE TEETH!!!!!
