Labor Day Piking

[Skunk City]

Woke up with the work alarm even though I had the day off. Tossed the kayak in a local spot and within a bit had some action. Had a follow up to the boat by a really solid fish but no dice. Few casts later my lure gets hammered. Got the fish to the boat when he decided to turn around and splash some yummy river water into my face . Solid fish, CPR'd, and back to fishing. Had a few bumps on one retrieve, then a hookup with an average, yet healthy looking Smallie. On my way out, got one more Pike, about the same size of the first. Both solid fish that put up a great fish all the way to the boat and then some. No tape measure this time, left it in the car! Was off the water by noon, left them biting.
