Bright And Early
My back kicked me out of bed early this morning.
I was on the water by 6:15AM
The morning started off with a hammer handle pike on a jointed minnow bait with rattles. Not worthy of a photo.
I changed lures and started working the fast water up by the dam.
I had a solid hit and hook up. The fish did a non-typical head shake. Pike I have caught do the power runs first and save the head shakes until on the surface later. I thought trout or maybe a walleye. The fish felt too powerful to be either.
