Default Groundhog Day Piking

Braved the cold for some Pike today and it didn't disappoint. First cast I hooked up with something decent but lost the fish. A few minutes later I landed this guy on the husky jerk, measured out to 30" and healthy. Had a few bobbers go under, lost a couple but managed to land a couple. My buddy picked up a well-fed guy on a shiner, very healthy as well. I snagged into a fat carp as well, but it "kicked" the hook when I tried to horse him in .

Packed it in around 4pm, good day to be out there. Water was high and cold.

Amazing. I see so much trash on the ground there, and yet the pike are fat and healthy. Way to give winter the finger!

Trash along the Passaic River - what a shocker Its what I call high-tide debris The Passaic is good for that. All kinds of flotsam and jetsum in the woods along it.

Healthy looking fish despite the area in which they live.

Had a bobber/shiner rig out there while we casted lures. Wasnt expecting much love on the lures with the 38 degree water temps but they wanted both. Got 2 more today, with the one pulling off some nice acrobatics. ...cant believe how fiesty these things are even in winter!
