Nice pike there...was up at two bridges Sunday afternoon without a touch. Grew jointed rapala and a daredevle for a while with nothing to show...

Nice One!!

I also........... hit the river yesterday. First time out using sonar and prob spent more time cruising around marking spots than fishing lol.

Ended up hooking one decent pike that charged in and hit a swimbait at the last second. Fought hard enough to shake loose boatside. Then we had a larger pike lazily follow a slow reeled baitfish right up to the boat and then turn and swim away.........

Strong currents kinda made it tough but not impossible. Not an action packed day but nice to be out.

River will be going up,up,up over the next three days. I think it might be July before it reaches the levels I like(<300 cfs). I may need to go waaaay upstream to find clear water.

You hurt that fish squeezing it like that! It probably wont spawn now if it lived through the trauma... not to mention the anguish I feel everytime i look at the picture of you holding it so carelessly. And I can't stop going back for another look... did you really need two pictures?

It looks a lot like the Millstone and they stock pike in there also.
