June 24 2008-Rick's First Pike of the Season

Rick finally catches his first Pike of the season! This Pike was 23 inches long and weighed in at 2 lb 4 oz. My only Pike of the day was 27 inches long and weighed 4 lb 8 oz.
What's this? Yes, Rick catches a second one. This little fella was 22 inches long and just tipped the scales at 2 lb. Both of Rick's fish were caught on Rapalas while trolling.
I had a lot of trouble getting fish into the boat. I lost 4 Smallmouth Bass and 1 Pike including a couple of lures.
