20lbs of Teeth

[Esox Luciano]

Hit the river up recently before all the crazy winds started up and found a few fish willing to bite. These pike have been super picky about any offerings I have and literally would bite on only 2 different lures. 1 swam super slow with a slight twitch here and there, and the other with aggressive twitches and stops. The smaller of the pike bit on the aggressive approach, the bigger bit at the slow approach. No measurements on the smaller one but put a tape and a scale to the other and she taped out at 38" on the dot & weighed in at just under 21lbs. When i got to see the pics, I noticed i must've smudged the lens with some slime or something from the blurriness of the pics. Oh well, $#*+ happens. Put a different backround on it to not show where on pines lake I was fishing from.
Still rainy the day after, I hit up the falls in Paterson in search of whatever. Landed a decent pike at the bottom & rolled another. Took it to the top of the falls where I never catch anything and landed my 1st fish outta the upper pools. Nice lil Mollie to cap off a rainy day. Haven't been out since, these winds are a bit strong!!

Great fish!

I've found them to be picky and slow, but it seems in the past week or so things have started to pick up a bit. Most of the ones I've gotten have cone with a super slow retrieve pretty much bouncing bottom. Should only get better from here!
