Got up this morning and had some free time so I hit the river. Tried 2 spots, first was a bust, second produced. Got a fat 16.5" smallie after the first half hour. After that, I hooked up with a nice pike!! Hooked em 10 ft from shore only to have em peel my 20# line off for a bout 40-50 ft. splashin and thrashin all the way. Finally landed a nice 36"ish pike with a belly!! Not bad for the first one of the year.....
