kilroy69 993 Posted April 25, 2019 Everyone has a fish story. Here is mine. While fishing today I kept seeing a huge fin pop up and down in the shallow water. I mean huge. It looked like a dinosaur. Not joking. I slowly poked my way over and saw it. It was a Pike about 5 ft long spawning. It shot out and was gone. I would not have been able to land that on my kayak. I would have to drag it to a dock. no joke it was super massive. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTSkiBum 1,593 Posted April 26, 2019 Offshore it is quite common to have a reel screaming and then for it to come loose before you ever see it. Was it a large trash fish or was it a wahoo. Nobody knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looked just like the things I have been catching. Only much much bigger. Very rarely will I ever think to myself well I would not have landed that anyway. But I have twice in the last year on this lake. I just don't think my odds are great of landing a fish that size in a closed face kayak with no anchor unless I could get to a dock or shore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy69 993 Posted April 26, 2019 The lake is 398 acres and it is a self contained ecosystem that is spring fed. The fish that are in there are either there still or generational fish that never lived outside the lake. There is no inlet or outlet other than a swamp to drain to. The lake also has giant holes. It has this type of plant that actually creates islands. And it causes huge holes to open up on the other side of these. Like 20 ft deep. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to other fishing reports there are large northern pike in there, no sturgeon. If you are wondering how the hell I know that, I spent years searching for bodies of water to fish on the internet. I can find anything with very little description. My brother in law fishes, and he grew up and lived in the same town his whole life. However when I visited him i was the one that chose the fishing spots and taught him where he should be fishing. Those were the days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
