By the way, I caught this fish on an 1/8 ounce jig with a twister tail while fishing for walleyes using a light spinning rod and 8 lbs test. It took about a half hour to land it. What a blast!
This was a 43″and 21.5# that a partner caught. Can’t locate a better pic right now.
These 2 were from a group of 8 pike that were 38″ and over, all caught in a 5hr period. They were GORGING on the small male ‘eyes that were stacked in a sanctuary that had just opened that weekend.
