DarkEdge Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 It's only taken me since I was 14, but I FINALLY caught my first pike! New personal best: 15". Laugh, but I'm proud like hell. The first one is the most important, right? Sorry no pics. I didn't bring my camera, because I figured I wouldn't get one. Just goes to show, I need to remember my small one.

Always sucks when you forget your camera, but that's usually my key to landing a fish... forget your camera!!!

DarkEdge Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I usually fish alone, or at least that way until the wife gets her license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scapulataf Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I won't laugh, the second pike I ever caught was barely bigger than my lure. Heddon Torpedo incase people were wondering. The first wasn't very big either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what kind of fish you have back home, but I can assure you that if you fish this area enough you will be topping your PB on a regular basis. I LOVE pike fishing and there's tons of 'em around. Congrats on your catch and next time bring your damn camera! lol. What were you throwing?

DarkEdge Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 An old weedless spoon I've had in my tackle box for years, and never saw a use for. His mouth was the same size as the lure was, so I'm lucky all he needed was the hook. And for fish, I started fishing for pike in Wisconsin when I was 14, and lived in Chicago. I'd go on a monthly trip up to a lake, and usually fish with minnows, but never caught any. Once I moved to Oklahoma, if I wanted big fish, it was usually cats. To everyone down there, four pounds is a huge bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
