I was out to Wabamun today and the Pike were really biting.I caught around 15 in total.Three of them were around 20 pounds each.Biggest Pike I have ever caught.
My one rod broke at the reel seat so I had to use my ultra light.Two of the big ones I caught on the Ultra Light.One fish took me 15 minutes to bring him in.Only 6 pound test line.He sure made some long runs.
The fish were in 12 to 15 feet of water.Early in the morning they were taking a #2 Len Thompson Yellow with black diamonds.Later in the morning all they would bite on was a #2 Len Thompson copper in colour.
That copper hook has been in my tackle box for around 10 years and this is the first time I used it.Tried to buy more of them at the Fishing Hole and they don't have them.
I ended up buying three solid brass hooks and I also picked up a new Ugly Stick rod.
I sure am pumped to get back there again and try for the big ones.
Cheers.............Rainbow
Sounds like a fun day, but if you want other people to have the same fun catching those fish you might want to try using a heavier rod instead of your ultra light. It puts a lot of stress on those big fish.

Seeing as he wasnt planning on using it id say give him a break. If you read it you would see that his other rod broke.
On another note sounds like a great day! Hopefully hitting wab later this week!
