Hit the river for a little while in the morning on Saturday and Sunday. Didn't fish long on Saturday, and ended up with one decent fish in the mid 20" range.
On Sunday, I decided to hit a new section of river. Had a bit of action, but all the pike were small. As Buzzbaiter said, the mosquitos were unrelenting. On the way home, I decided to hit one of my spots for a few casts to see if anyone was around. I began throwing one of my homemade lures and quickly got slammed. The fish tore all over the river, peeling drag and thrashing around in classic pike fashion. Got the fish to the bank and it is my biggest so far this year at 33 inches. The fish was very healthy and fat. Got the quick measurement and the fish was released in great shape. I love catching fish on homemade lures.
