Title: 13 pound pike without hookset !
Post by: intothedeep on Mar 07, 2018, 06:59 PM
My buddy caught a 13 pound pike yesterday on a foot long sucker. As he was playing it he kept saying he could feel the bait slipping. Turns out the sucker was so far down it’s throat he was able to land it without the hook ever sticking the pike.

You know what they say"  "Big fish -- big bait " Quite a memory!

I saw a woman catch a 17" salmon and while reeling it in, it felt bigger and heavier because a 30" togue inhaled the salmon.

Reminds me of the biggest largemouth I ever saw, grabbed a 12” largemouth I was reeling in and held on for a while before letting go.  Looked to be at least 7-8 lbs.
