Spruce Run

[Mike M]

Went back to Spruce Run this morning. I didn't have much time but started to throw a husky jerk. Then I saw a dead shiner floating by. I set up another rod and cast out the shiner. 5 minutes later the rod is sliding along the ground into the Resevoir I grab the rod and am hooked up to my largest fesh water fish ever. 6 drag screaming runs later my first northern pike is at my feet. As I reached for the line he decides to make 1 more run. This time he jumps and lands on the four pound test line. Good bye Mr Pike.
The pike won this time but I will be back.
