Good weekend
Well me and few friends headed out to my cabin for the weekend to fish our faces off. We caught lot of fish. Managed to fill some walleye tags and I caught a pretty good pike. We didn't have a scale but place her somewhere in the 17-20 lbs range. The weight calculator we used said she should have been 19.6lbs and I don't think she's quite there. The part I was pumped about is I caught that pike on my ultra light perch rod with 4 lbs line. It was an amazing fight. 20 min.

Real nice pike, Congrats. I did the same with my biggest pike, 13 lbs at Spencer lake many moons ago. Fishing for walleye with a ice fishing rod and a small jig. Was almost asleep in the noon sun when I felt a bite, set hard and hooked it in the edge of the lip. I agree it is a fun fight with such a small rod. Nothing better than seeing that big head swim by the hole for the first time. Mine went back to swim again as well.
