My first big fish
I've never caught anything bigger than a small perch/bullhead LOL, so this was pretty cool for me
 Hubby n' I were goofin' off w/the neighbors paddle boat- trolling LOL- I was about to give up, was reelin' in and just as my lure came to the top of the water, this fish jumps up at it- I didnt think I had it at first, then suddenly the drag took off- very cool feeling- a first for me, I was so excited! It measured 31", the scale said it only weighed 3.5 lbs- felt more tho. Yeah, the fish is better lookin' LOL- it wasnt all sunburnt n' sweaty :lol:

Nice fish...
Take the next one home to eat...those Pike are fantastic eating. Fillet them like you would any fish, then slice out the 'Y' bones. Yum-Yum... 8) I go to a small lake here that is filthy with blue gill, large mouth bass and pike. (a no-motor lake) They all only reach a certain size though, because it is a small lake, but always lots of action, and you go home with a heavy stringer. Lots of painted turtles and frogs. Really peaceful place to spend the day.

A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work
