no  most pike are 15-22 inches. out of 10 i usually get 1 about 25 inches. yesterday was just above average for us, we usually get atleast 10 or 15 a day.

ya know i hate to b***h but...im going to! :)

i dont think i would mind (as much) that im getting skunked but at 22$ to let some bait swim in a circle for two days
and not catch a fish, when i can buy lobsters at price chopper for the same price and know that i have a sure bet dinner kinda makes me a little sore lol :-\
