Default Well, it's a start...

We took the boat out for the first time this year, as we went trolling for walleye for a couple hours this weekend. We didn't catch any walleye, but we did land 6 bass. My fishing buddy caught 3 that were all between 2 and 2.5 pounds. I caught 2 and my wife caught 1, all of which were under 2 pounds.

My wife and I also did some crappie fishing from our dock for about 90 minutes on Saturday night. I had one real nice hit while retrieving a crappie jig and had it hooked up for a little bit. It obviously wasn't a crappie, and even though I never saw it, I'm guessing pike. About 5 minutes after that, my wife landed this nice pike - 29.25" and 5lb 6oz - not bad for the lightweight rod and 4-lb test line she was using!

Thats a great way to start the year buddy! I bet your wife had the time of her life bringing in that nice pike. They are a blast to catch! One year on a fishin trip to MN we discovered the only thing the pike wanted to hit was little 1/8 oz yellow twister beetle spins we were using for panfish. The pike were tearing them up that year!

Nice pike! About the size of the ones we've been catching down here! They're a blast.. must be even funner with 4lb test UL!

Congrats on the bass too!
