Had an old Army buddy visit for a few days, we hit 5 different lakes in 7 days.
we were fishing for crappies at pompton lake, but my second cast was slammed ! I went to set the hook and nothing was there, reeled it in and just as i suspected the line was cut! i knew it was a pike, attached a steel leader and fished for about 20 minutes trying to get him with an ultra light and 4lb test (was planning on nothing but crappies)
the pike slammed it again! i set the hook and the pike made a run for structure! then he came right back at the boat where he almost cut the line on the motor! i never thought i was gonna get him in on that ultra light, but boy is it a fun fight!. thank goodness for my buddy who netted him for me! ended up being 27 inches. also caught a few Lm's. and only 1 crappie. great day!
