Hi All !! Here is a real nice pike sent into us by Adam McDernott. His story is genuine, we like to have the owners story to go with the pix and this one is truly special.
I was at lake Kohlmier in Owatonna, Minnesota. About 3:00 we moved to a new spot. I put on a crappie minnow with a little jig with a slip bobber. I have a medium action rod and reel combo with 6-pound line. This kid I knew was coming on the lake to fish with us I was talking to him, turned around and saw that my bobber was suspended an inch or so under. I reeled up slack and set the hook expecting that it might be another perch. My drag went whizzing I reeled in than the fish turned around and charged the other way I thought I had him many times but he wouldn’t give up. My friends gathered around and reached in to the hole and grabbed it and push it away from the hole. The really neat thing is when he was tired I saw him pop up, you could see the nice fish thought the ice. It was almost 6 pounds. I haven’t kept a fish for a long time so I decided to take it home. My friend would have yelled me at if I had thrown it back. But I wanted it. It tasted great beside a couple bones here and there.
If anyone else has a photo or two they’d like to share with us here at FTL,
simply send the photo out as a .jpg attachment in an e-mail to
[email protected] and we’ll gladly get that posted here just as
quickly as we can.
