chicken livers. On monday night we went out around 730, my brother wasnt even rigged up and I had an awesome run, and brought in about a 20" fish. Maybe fished about an hour and it started to lightening in the distance so we decided to get out of there before it got closer. Caught one more right before we left. Lightening got real bad but it never rained! Went out again tuesday and fished a couple different spots that usually produce and only caught 1 each in about 3 hours. Every one we caught though, was full of eggs, so that might be why things were a little slow.

Nice Pike! I have caught 2 northerns ( not pickerel ) out of there over the years. Both were caught in the fall, fishing in the afternoon after a morning of small game hunting. Neither were quite that big. It is good to know some are still around, that is a rare catch around here.

he released it so he's still in there. I have seen quite a few others while bowfishing but none that big. They are usually laying on the bottom in the shallows.
