My very first blue pike

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Wonder what is in the diet this year to do that to them?? Cool looking fish though.
Fishing isn't a matter of life and death....
It's much more important.

I don't know what I am more surprised with.

The fact you have never caught a pike before or the color on the first one you caught!

Cool markings for sure but that is a great streak for a bass fisherman.

Nice silver!! What day did you catch it? Looked cold!
This year I spent most of my money on beer, women and fishing...the rest I wasted.
