Pike Hunting & Bonus Bass/Ninja Fishing pic

[Aux Pleins]

Heres some porn from the week... Actually got into a rock bass for the first time since last spring and according to the message boards others in my section have too lately. Bass hit a inline spinner No. 5.. Like to give a shout out to my future Bro-Inlaw on a nice hook up, rod measured at 33inches. Hes been fishing with Wallhead I think, judging by his technique of snapping photos of fish on the floor. J/K Wallhead is good fishermen and good guy, I only kid. I caught quite of few pike on the chatterbait this week, I had some back luck lately losing some of my expensive treble equipped tackle to the DPR gods, so I decided to chill out on my favorite baits for a while and go weedless at times and try the chatter here and there also.

So the ninja fishing was done at a tiny pond right across the street from the River.. Got kicked out while I was taking the photo and "Hey I wasn't fishing, I was catching"

Thanks for the kind words marcus,that,s a nice pike your future in-law got.As far as it being on the ground,when there,s no one around to take a picture trying to take one of a large fish and yourself.Can be a problem.Last time I tried to take a picture of myself holding a fish the results weren't very good

Whered u get that lunge atttT??????

[wallhead]

Thats a dpr ski.Ya shoulda seen the rest of her.

[Whats the catch..Ron'chi?]

What area of the dpr did u get the ski?

[Rich]

I'm guessin' down river of a little stocked lake.

[wallhead]

DPR MUSKY are a incindental catch,they could be anywhere on the river.Trying to target any one area would probably be a waste of time.In all probability their busse escapees.In any case theres no numbers to speak of.The biggest obstacle they have to face are the bucketheads along the river.

[MuskieMania]

what size waht that lunge? and how in the f do i post pictures?? been tryin the last few days but am computer illiterate!

[MuskieMania]

and where were u on the dpr? and what were u throwin? rattletrap?

[wallhead]

Musky Mania:I,ll shoot you a pm on location.Size wise she was pushing 40 inches,not a big fish by muskie standards.Caught her last month on a jig haven,I seen another one since.If your looking for river musky the fox would be a better choice
