Another hot dog pike
 

I was almost positive it was a fluke but it happens again. The only difference is this was uncooked and my buddy grabbed the wrong pole so that had 4lb test on it lol. Also caught a HUGE snapping turtle on a chicken liver. Unfortunately no pics of that. But I guess the pike are hungry. River level was about the same as earlier last week when I caught. No love last week after the rain.

It's amazing cause I've cast multiple lures hundreds of times into that same stretch and caught nothing. Sitting on my ass with a 6 pack and a hot dog, I've caught 2 of the biggest fish of my life. Fishing is great lol

I've been telling people for years to use cut bait for pike.

I'm fascinated by this. Maybe fishing with pieces of fat-ladden, over-processed meat products is an under utilized method for pike.

I can see you on an episode of 'Fishing with Roland Martin' with a package of hotdogs being like, "Well Roland, we rig the hotdogs with a double-hooked quick strike rig on a titanium wire leader and cast it out into high probability areas..."


It depends on the area. In the Newark area, you can use store-brand hotdogs, but where the Passaic approaches Summit and Millburn you have to switch to Kosher hotdogs.
