Diane's BIG pike!
Permalink  
 

After getting home from helping at the walleye tournament weigh-in, I decided to make a quick fishing trip down to the Escanaba harbor and try for some pike. I asked Diane if she wanted to come along, and she said yes. I set her up with a large white and chartreuse spinnerbait and told her to hold on to the rod with both hands, (we were trolling at fairly high speed, and even small fish hit extremely hard.) I threw out my favorite Grandma crankbait and we started our troll. We didn't even go 100 yards before a fish hit Diane's bait so hard, it almost pulled her out of the seat! She fought the fish well, and after a great fight, it was in the net. Turned out to be her biggest fish ever - a beautiful 44 inch northern pike! About this time I realize I forgot to bring the camera, (never fails - the one time you don't bring it, you catch a pig!) Luckily we live close by, so I put her in the livewell, and motored back to the access. Ran home to get the camera and call my folks to meet us at the dock for some pics. After a quick photo session, she was released.

Way to go Diane!

Caught and released this one tonight. Not quite as nice as Diane's fish, but a respectable 38 incher. Just got a new "big fish" net today, and was able to put it to good use on it's inaugural trip.

And I even remembered to bring the camera!

Looks like fun and glad the photography was a little easier this time.  What with your splake records, smallmouth, walleye, whitefish, salmon, and pike catches we may have to start calling you Mr. Multi-species instead of Bait Shop guy.

What can I say, we get all kinds of fishermen that walk through the door. You have to be able to relate to all of them. Besides, the more kinds of fish that you chase, and the more ways you chase them, the more stuff that you get to have biggrin
