Bantam Lake, south bay, 5/7 an almost fish story
Message:
Took the dog out on the canoe this morning. Arrived at the southern "public" boat launch, which is wierd parking is confusing but its mid week, so i chaned parking there without a town resident pass. Was trying out some new lures and was trolling slow with a spinner cruising behind me where the weeds start to drop off twards the center. Next thing i know my drags flying out and its fish on, about five minutes of reel in 50ft he pulls 60 and finally get it close to the canoe. Biiig northern pike, get him right next to the canoe and about to reach out and grab a gill, he turns and dives straight down. Damn near lost my rod. So we mess around another minute or so and again go to gill him once hes close. Sonofabitch bites the line. Yeah yeah i know fish story. No pics didnt happen. But i had two more solid bites after that on some sinking senkos that also found there way to a hungry fish. Mind you I had just been trout fishing this past weekend in NH and i was using like 4 lb test. No leaders nothing to handle pike fishing lol. Sucks i lost him but still gald i got to see it. So it was off to the sporting good stre after. Stocked up and ready [/img]
