Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 An invite to fish a local private lake Sunday afternoon meant only one thing ,pike .The invite was a bit short notice so had to dash to sainsbury's for a look along the fresh fih trays .Decided on fresh troutand stuck with it as it dosnt get used on this water .Set up the two rods with head and tail sections on each .Threw the baits in the margins by hand and turned on the buzzers.Just sat down to read my book when the nearest buzzer went off on a screamer .Struck into a decent fish,played it on the back wind and netted her quickly .I dont like to play pike long as they take longer to ecover .On the mat ,hooks in the scissors nicely .Weighed her at 22lb,7oz .Quick pic and put her back still strong .Nice .

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) Your ignorance can be excused mate as it was 22lb,7oz .Pike are ,i agree very hard to put a weight on ,especially a photo .I too have had 'teens that looked heavier than this .Possibly not holding it well enough to show it off to the full .
