How many have pulled a pike back into the hole to spear it?

The 6 pounder I speared today came in like a rocket, and grabbed my sucker and took it under the ice. Fortunately , I was able to grab the line, pull the fish back into the hole, and nail it with the spear. I have tried this a few times before, but never been able to connect. The pike have either let go, or I missed with the spear. Has anyone had much luck with that?

Do you have a DVR for your camera?  That would have been cool to see!

Last year, I had 2 small pike come in at the same time. I speared the bigger one, dropped a rattlin' rap down the hole, and got the second one to come back in about 45 seconds time.

I really like it when a pike comes charging in, misses the bait, and turns for a second run. Gets my heart pounding just thinking of it. I've missed a few that charge in, and they come back with the spear still fully in the water. They are oblivious to anything except the bait on days like that.

No DVR. I tried my camera again this morning, but it would not work again. It seems like it is not charging. I just bought it last Jan. I hope the battery isn't shot already. I'll be checking it out tonight.

Yes, I have only been doing this for 2 seasons, and have successfully completed this maneuver twice. Its similar to the stories about the people that catch the pike on their Traducer for their flashers, (but minus the spearing part).

That`s how the first ever pike I got came in.Grabbed the minnow and ran with it and got him pulled back and dropped the spear on it.
Seems like that must have been beginners luck as I`ve not been able to connect with one since then.
I`ll be trynig this week again though as the ice on the favorite pikin hole is there.

OPen up the back of it where the charging cord attaches. I had somethign similar happen to me last year and it was a connection on the board behind the access door that was loose.

I'm officially an idiot. I have beem plugging the camera in the port on the front of the screen. I got to looking and found the handy little charging port on the rear of the unit. I purchased the camera on the way to Upper Red Lake last year and only used it a few times since then-apparently on the same charge. I should have taken the time to read the owners manual when I bought it.

To funny. Sounds like something I would have done.

[pickledpike]

SHhhh! Don't tell anyone you saved the owners manual.

I've pulled some real good ones back into the hole for sweet tooth to do her magic!
