Hit some pike spots last Saturday for a bit. Ended up catching a few pike, with one big fish that was unquestionably the fattest pike for its length I've ever seen. Just a beast. Not sure exactly what it's been eating, but it certainly has no lack of food. I'm keeping my eye out for missing person/pet flyers.

Fatso indeed. How was the fight on that one?

WOW! That one sure has been eating well.
Great job and some nice fish there.

They actually were from two different spots miles apart. I got the skinny one at one spot, and the other I got at the spot with the fat one was equally fat, just a little shorter.
