Topwater Pike'ing 7/3
 

Got out in the kayak from 5pm-9pm for some toothy guys. Began throwing the Flatfish and almost immediately got 2 Pike, both smaller guys around the 20" range. Good start. Kept chucking to structure til the sun went down, then switched over to topwater....holy crap. First cast I had a Pike literally LAUNCH itself out of the water like a missile and miss. Tossed right back and he CRUSHED it. This guy was a little bigger, weighed him at a little over 6lbs. Couple casts later, landed another guy in the same size range. Ended up with 4 pike, 1 smallie, 1 yellow perch, and a 4lb largemouth that I lost at the boat. These things are downright VIOLENT on topwater! Will be back out there tonight for their bigger, meaner uncle ;)
