IMG_20150807 WHY I LOVE NORTHERN PIKE
Selfie Blooper!
While fishing the slop and weed gaps I heard commotion from preds working the shallows and sending baitfish scurrying to the surface causing quite the commotion. my little tiny hook holding a 3/8” long gulp pink waxie sitting under a small thill pro float just feet from the bank in 1-6’ FOW got slammed by a huge pred. huge in the way anything fights the big fight on a MUL spinning rig . the only thing giving an edge in my favor was the 6-0# braid between me and the Pike. The Northern fought a commanding battle running a few circles around the kayak towing me around a bit. The weeds were being cut at the stalks by the braid like a huge weed whacker. Weeds were building up on the line and I thought for sure this fish would be lost. Somehow luck on my side I managed to land the beast and the battle ensued on board the kayak. Gotta love these Northern Pike

Thanks Bruce!... I love battling these big bruisers on ultra light tackle with the security of braided line ... It's a blast

thanks Allen!... Since being diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy ive downscaled my fishing quite a bit. heavier tackle means less time on the water so I strictly changed to fishing for panfish lighter tackle equals less arm pain

thanks John!... Good luck in September I heard there were a lot of large preds there

I bet battling that beast was a hoot.
