Boy do I have a fish tale for you guys! On Travers this summer I caught an absolute monster pike that I couldn't reel in and had to drive the trolling motor to to even get her to the boat. My dad and a family friend were on the boat and started freaking for me to cut the line. I was hell bent on at least a picture. Well after a very long hard battle we soon found out she didnt even come close to fitting in the net. We tried a random effort of her tail in the net and me lifting her head..... Damn near took me in the water. Dave was terrified and not helping us out so we tried to get him to take a pic of her in the water beside the boat, he dropped my dad's camera in the lake! So I went to get my camera and my dad was in charge of the fish.....she rolled, he freaked and she got away!! Cants say how much we weighed but she was longer than my armspan, so at least 5'3" long. My heart has never pounded so hard fishing, ever.
Oh the one that got away!
