2 flags and 2 fish today, GREAT DAY!!!
« on: Feb 17, 2011, 07:34 PM »
I took a ride today to do some fishing. Got to the lake at 830am, set up and waited as usual. First flag was on the Arctic Warrior, a nice 27" Pike, my first one on the jig rod. That was a ball reeling in. Ripped the drag like it was 20 pounds. Ended up being about 5 pounds.

The second one was the topping on the cake. My farthest flag went up and I knew it was a good one because I had a big dead bait. I got to the trap and the spool was screaming. I waited for it to stop and take a second run but it never stopped. I decided to set the hook and it was on. Got it to the hole and she took off pulling all of the line on the ice and then some. I saw it go by the hole and said oh CRAP!!! After 3 runs from the hole and the line stuck in the ice I finally landed a 36" 13.8lb Pike... Was a great day...
If fishing was work I'd never be sick!
