A large pike is truly a wonderful fish. They look so ferocious, yet have beauty and fragility. A 25lber is a fish of dreams my friend.Gurnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10140937461283076494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2548811826931483117.post-12059987908264899522012-05-26T17:38:11.953+01:002012-05-26T17:38:11.953+01:00Looks big enough to me!

I'd seen plenty of photos but until you see one close up you have no idea how special they are.<br /><br /> I sometimes get more pleasure watching fish than catching fish... but... if you told me I'd never be able to catch fish again and would only be allowed to watch them it would drive me insane! <br /><br />Isn't it amazing how if you're not fishing for them they seem more relaxed or they show themselves more often? I lure fish a canal for pike and cover a lot of ground over the winter. I'm always looking through the water with polaroids and it's amazing how many carp you see. Some even come out of the weeds to 'inspect' a passing lure. But when I go back with the carp tackle they just disappear and the canal appears devoid of carp........ <br /><br />I love reading your posts about this lake. I think we're all searching for our own little 'perfect' place and it looks like you may have found it. Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
