Went out armed for crappies. About a half hour goes by I have a mark on the bottom then a few so I drop a bit and give it a slow rise and twitch. Bang it has a little weight ...is it a walleye it takes me back down and shakes a bit. After that it came up fighting, what a crappie its a pb from this lake.
The screen went blank and shortly after a mark on the bottom begins tantalizing me. I played it and play it and finally gave up, I dropped to the bottom defeated or so I thought. The rod slowly loads and I strike to find no movement. My ultra light is bent right over and the fight began. After taking out my second line and spooling it I cut the other line. It turned into a birds nest that required being pushed down while fighting the beast up and down. 20 min later I see its head.. of course it doesn't want to come up the hole so I slowly move iit up and land a big pike from a small lake. Its about 3 feet long and I'm gonna measure its girth. The girth is astounding it has been feeding well. Perhaps following the schools of larger crappie.
