(I was retying the kids line for the 5th time, been losing a lot of lures LoL) I didn't see it, but I did catch a nice pike not long after.
This is amazing cause I can't catch a fish if my life depended on it.
Felt good, and the kids got to see one (other than at BPS) , let them touch his skin, and watch me prep it when we got home.
Gonna try to cook it up tommo.
Looking forward to trying to catch more!!

Atta go! Nice to hear you got some joy fishing...outside of just the activity. While they call it fishing and not catching...it is fun to catch once in a while.
This time of year the pike may be a bit mushy. I would suggest the following if your family likes mushrooms.
Totally debone the pike. Kids and wives hate fish bones. Fry the pike up in butter...doing it with batter and virgin oil oil may also work. Have either spagetti or rice cooking. Get a few cans of campbells creamy mushroom and onion soup going...keep the soup thick. After the pike is cooked through add to the mushroom and onion soup and then ladel over the rice or spagetti. Yum.
Anyone else have a good Summer pike recipe?
