First Pike

[Hawksrule]

I got out to the GMR this evening to use up a few minnows I had left from my trip to Lake Loramie yesterday. I only had about an hour before dark, ended up with only two bites but I made them count. First fish was a 15" smallmouth and about 10 minutes later I hooked into something that felt like a channel cat at first but when I finally saw it my heart started racing. I was using my ultralite that I had in my truck (4 lb test) I started loosening my drag, just as I did he took off but then turned easy and was out of steam. So I got my first Pike, it was only 19" but I can finally say I caught one, picture attached. Sorry about the quality of the picture I was by myself and in the dark.

Congratulations, that's a real nice catch on ultra light. Just think what all these 20 incher's caught this year will be like in 2011!
