So I was trolling the dropoff just now at the river mouth (at night by myself) and I thought I was caught on weeds when the weeds started to strip line off my reel. The damned thing jumped 2 times in the air (didn't know pike jumped), wrapped itself in the line, proceeded to ram my outboard and took me 10-15 minutes to land. Now my boat smells like pike slime! Pike was let go unharmed. Look at the belly on this thing. I think it was about 10 lbs - I couldn't weigh it at night properly. Also caught some smallies - which were let go of course (out of season).

Fat Pike caught trolling river mouth at night
