Nice way to get things rolling. Great fish. Ice where I am is not in good shape at the moment. Soon though soon
For some people it's "one more drink" or "one more bet" for me the lie is "just one more cast"

I agree, nothing worse then seeing a carcass on the ice of a trophy fish.WildFisherWoman wrote:I never said I released it. I actually kept this one. I want to put it up on the wall for future enjoyment Id rather see it on my wall then see its carcass carved out left on the ice by someone else. Released or not still great catches IMO.
You should mount this one, eating the 12lber that you had mounted from before.
Again, nice fish!

I think before my days are done,
I want to be a fisherman.

Re: First Nice Pike of the Season
Two very nice pike. I'm sure I'll see one, hopefully both on the VT Master Angler Program webpage. Way to go!! Pike do make very good mounts.
