July 17 2007-1 Big Bass & 1 Big Pike

Today I took Heather fishing. It was her first time out this year.

Well, she hasn't lost her touch. Her first & only fish of the day was an awesome Pike, 31 inches long & weighed 7 lb 8 oz. Heather also claims that this is her biggest Pike ever! Way to go Heather!

My Pike was a baby compared to hers. This little puppy was 24 inches long & only weighed about 3 lb. I did however managed to catch a couple of Smallmouth Bass. The first one was 16 1/4 inches long & wieghed 2 lb 4 oz.Did I mention that I was able to catch my biggest Smallie of the year! This brute was 4 lb 14 oz. My goal is to catch one over 5 lb. I was close but no cigar!
