About 8 years ago i was fishing on my favorite pike lake, the morning started off great, had 3 nice pike in the 1st hour and half on the ice ranging from 28-33 inches flags flying pretty consistenly, While i was attending 1 flag another went up so i huried to bring the fish in, it was a hammer handle, i let it go went after the other flag and another in the distance goes up. So im like DAM!! as soon as i said that another goes up...
I started fighting the fish i knew instantly it was a 15-20lb fish, so im fighting it, i get it to the hole after about 5-10 minutes and pull it up with 3 lines in its mouth..
That fish went and hit the 2 other baits while having one already hooked in its mouth... I know what your thinking, and its that it got tangled up, but it wasnt the case, all 3 hooks were in it throat with 2 minnows... That girl was just cruising and gorging herself... Ended up being 38 1/2 inches around 17 lbs.. I still laugh to this day over it..
