Fished/walked for a couple hrs today. First fish missed right at shore, looked to be a freshly stocked guy...Moved on and landed my first fish for the day, another newbie, bout 8 inches Id say, on a mepps:

Moved on again and caught a nicer fish, between 2-3lbs on the grip, on a kvd spinner:

Moved again, and caught my final and biggest fish, between 4-5lbs, on the same kvd spinner:

Didnt re-tie after catching the last one, few casts and line goes SNAP, bye bye spinner. Decided to call it a day after that.

Good to see the smaller fish around, they're the future beasts of the river. Nice catch dude. I kinda want that little guy for my fish tank. I'll jig em up on my ultra lite ice rod when I'm bored, LOL! Good report!!!:D

You turned a Pocket Pike into two better Pike, nice work.

They tend to totally dominate and inhale those spinners. Make sure your leader can handle it.

Surprisingly none of them inhaled the lures. All were hooked right in the front and came out easily. I had 50lbs power pro. I usually check after each fish but was little pumped up and forgot :o

They'll clip that braid like a scissor. Use an actual leader, either steel or heavy fluoro. A few that I caught yesterday inhaled a 9/16 oz spinnerbait and the 40 lb fluoro leader was def the difference between clean releases and having a few pike rocking some unnatural jewelry out there.
