Pike 9/5/15

[buzzbaiter]

I prefer to step in the water to release them rather than dragging them on the bank

EXACTLY! Too many photos of pike covered in all kinds of crap. You go out to the fish, you don't drag it onto shore. If your afraid of the water, well then maybe fishing isn't your sport.

Speaking of landing...if anybody lost a large, black Cumings landing net along the P recently, I found one. I stuck it handle first in the mud so its easily seen from boat. THis was just last week.
