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!

They should call you the Pike Whisperer! You're always catching good pike. Nice job!

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!
