Just got back from our annual trip to Canada. The fishing was ok overall, but I managed to catch the biggest fresh water fish of my life this week.
42" Northern Pike, the fight was uneventful until he saw the boat. Then it was ON, he dove under the boat took enough line to come clear out of the water behind me at which point I thought there was no way I would get him in the boat. With some good help from my dad who had gloves on and was able to grab the braided line and "guide" him back to the correct side of the boat a couple more strong runs and he was done.
What a RUSH!
