Caught this in June up at Lake of the Woods trolling a #9 floating rapala for walleyes. I was out of bait and having a great day on the walleye efforts but didn’t want to just motor back to the resort with such a strong bite going so I trolled Grandpa’s old black and silver. The result was a 4 minute battle with this gorgeous 36 incher. I realize it’s like cheating….. when you get a fluke catch, but I’ll take a muskie any day of the week!!!
Awesome pike Slack! I know you said your throwing spinnerbaits because of the wood. Have you tried throwing buzzbaits at all? Best of both worlds there snag proof and fun as hell to fish.
