Did she come in like a log or put up a squabble...all the big one I have caught just came in easy with only a few runs.

Caught her in shallow water in the middle of a weed patch using a subsurface rapala. It was a heck of a fight out of a kayak to try and keep her out of the weeds, probably my toughest pike battle. I was really glad I was using my new imx swimbait rod and revo toro with 50 lb braid because I was thumbing the spool and pulling hard to keep her above the weeds while she towed me around.
I got to watch the strike too which was awesome. She must have seen it from a ways off because I was just watching my lure come back and all of a sudden saw this huge fish coming cruising in from the side just open her mouth and inhale the lure. Set the hook and she went ballistic.
