Ice fished a ct river cove in mass on Friday... going for perch,, etc,prob last time with rain tommorw... off to the berks forever i suppose... ended up getting a pike on... 8lb test with a #6 hook. Lost him near the hole 1st time, dropped a new minnow down,, dum fish came back in a coulple,, got him up,, measured 28" but pretty fat... i noticed they dont fight 2 much if you bring them in real slow,, kinda like they dont know they are caught.
