Big pickerel and a bunch of pike

[msgdan]

I only had about an hour to get out this morning before work, and it really paid off. I haven't hit this spot for about 10 days and the last time resulted in about 10 pike with 4 in the mid 30's.

This one spot has deep pools on both sides of the river with weeds and I hit one side going down river and the other side going back up towards my car. Both sides were great today, with 7 pike landed and at least that many hook ups and not landed. All but 2 pike were over 30 inches and 2 were at 36".

But my second fish of the day was this monster pickerel that I think took more line than any of the pike.
