The big ones have to start out small - -

thanks Ben... sometimes everything feels like a trophy on UL..lol....

i dont intentionally fish for them anymore... im  nearly 100% panfishing nowadays with UL and Micro UL equipment... bite-offs happen often.

Great catch Ken! Do you use leaders for Pike?

...surprising how many N.Pike i luckily land on the  thin super lines... if i can get past the initial hookset the odds turn to my favor. the whole time fighting the N.Pikes i can feel the picking of the line across their teeth as i fight the fish like a pick on a guitar string.

Best to have a straggler or two than a skunk.
