Pike Discovery

[OneCam]

My oldest son Chance has become a fishing fanatic ... And at the ripe old age of 8 he does quit well.

This spring he wanted try for something new and showed interest in toothy critters.

We invested in a few steel leaders and headed to the river.

Amazingly he scored early and often with his first fish landed being a small musky - unfortunately as he started to hold it for a pic the fish squirmed out of his grasp and back into the water.

Since that catch he has had plenty of practice and now hangs onto them.

This is his biggest yet ... over 30"

Sweet! What are you guys using for lures? is this backwaters to a river or main channel?

 

[AZHunter]

That's awesome, Chris!

Very Nice, can't fake the smile he has either. Bet you had just as big of a smile taking the pictures too. Congrats to both of you.

If catching as many as 100 of those things a day would be his cup of tea then sure, I've got a boat, bucktails, big cranks and lots of lake options. They're by a landslide, my favorite fish. I've yet to get a real jumbo this yr so the push is on. B/w the whitetail addiction and the sons hooked on pike Chris and I have at least 2 things in common.
