Saved the pest pike for last (video)

[msgdan]

I went to the same area I hit Monday afternoon this morning, but had more time and went about another mile up river. Again, every deep pool held fish and I wold say that I had at least 20 pike this morning.

It wasn't easy kayaking, I had to get out with low water and log jams at least 5 times, but it was worth it. There was one spot I hit with 2 fallen trees about 50 feet apart with deep water between them. In that one pool, I landed a nice 5 lb. pickerel and 5 pike.

There was a bunch of very small pike today, but about 5 just over 30 inches, and one monster close to 40 inches that was headed for some trees and I yanked the lure right out of it's mouth trying to stop it, which almost resulted in a spinner bait to the head!

Here is a short video of the last pike I got of the morning and the biggest besides the one I tried to stop.
