im thinking the pike and walleye were the only species active since the huge nosedive in temps

thanks Jim!... i cant remember the last time i harvested a pike... but definitely they need to be harvested and this one would definitely be in the slot ... lost many a panfish jig to these guys  on an outing... set the hook and nothing but air. just way to many of these guys in the lake.

I actually like pike to eat. Looks like a potential 'eater' there!

Thanks Eric... it is one of my favorites... a very transitional spot... different species move in and out on a daily basis also on a seasonal basis. ... pike, muskies, walleyes,rock bass, crappie and white bass. Very few gill here... I think with the predetor ratio this high gill never show up or they get eaten.
Very few fisherman from shore because there is no parking. .. just a walk to or boat... it's about 1/4 mile from my residence... I might walk to and from a couple times during a good day.
