Jersey Giant

[Skunk City]

Got out for a few hours with the lady today and was not expecting this. She outfished me again, nailing this monster on a suspending jerkbait. Very strong fish with a great fight that she handled like a PRO. HUGE gill plate made for an easy grab landing. This thing was the fattest Pike I have ever handled, an absolutely beautiful specimen. No silly guestimates on size here, we laid her down on my jacket for a quick measurement. A very solid 38" on the tape, then back to the water. She kicked away like a madman, splashing me in the face in the process. Great start to the open water season, pretty sure the bar was just set by a GIRL !!!

That's one hell of a great way to begin the open water season! Congrats to your lady!

Beast of a NJ pike. The bigger plus is having a girl that isn't afraid to get dirty and go fishing! Keep it going skunk.

Both ladies are dandies, my friend. Congrats to her and congrats to you!

Did that fish get your girls finger? Looks like a touch of blood on her left thumb. If so, nothing better than a chick with a battle wound behind a story like this! GIANT!

Awesome fish !!!,,,and it's ONLY March, setting the bar high

Wow, first off, congrats to you for putting her in a great place to catch this monster. She sounds like a trooper to handle that fish. . Just keep an eye out on her battle scars. I picked up a few nasty infections over the years from broken skin from a pike. Way to go !!!!
