So I thought I'd take my brother-in-law out to the 'almost guaranteed' pike bay so that he could experience a pike first hand. No such luck. So we moved and hung around a point to catch smallies with whole worms, and guess what, he gets a pike but he had no leader so it broke off. So we fished from 7-9am this morning and caught nothing. We were almost ready to go home but I decided to head towards a wind-swept island and caught this on the first cast in 5-7 feet of water, at around 9am under bright sun. He fought very well - I thought it was a pike for sure but it turned about to be Mr. Walleye. He was released unharmed.
We caught some smallies and just before heading home I decided to try a new rocky island. Turned out that it had a very small hidden weedbed. Had a pike on, and dozens of 2-3 lb smallmouth - what a great day. They were hitting worms, spinners and spoons: (note some pictures from previous days are mixed in below) -

Nice catch, that's really impressive! I've only been deep-sea fishing once and it wasn't the most successful trip :P
Nice fish!!
