Re: Nj Northern pike
It's a shame that anyone would put a hook in that river without the proper tackle to prevent a bite off... My first time pike fishing I had no idea what I was doing and caught nothing but I had a steel leader on 20 lb braid just in case. I then educated myself on pike. The Internet is a big place with lots of info...I wish people would take the time to prepare and learn how to RELEASE the fish, not just catch them. Just yesterday I saw someone catch something smallish down river, drag it up the bank, unhook it and launch it back into the water. This is not a proper way to treat any fish. Maybe it's just my personality but when I do something, I want to do it right. Like you said BS happens but being unprepared and uneducated about it, is just wrong. Sorry about the rant! Tight lines all.
