Landed this one in the middle of a downpour
This one hit a spoon while casting for pike. Looks like a pike had already gotten too him...ouch!

St. Lawrence Bassin'
Finally got out on my new home water of the St Lawrence river on Saturday. I decided to go with a guide to speed up the learning process. Spent the day with Capt. Ed and first mate Scott of Let's go Fishin' charters out of Massena. A couple of great guys who did a fine job of showing me the ropes. The weather was pretty lousy with off and on rain but we were undetered and boated several largemouth and smallmouth along with a pike. Lost one monster pike right at the boat. We mostly fished over weed beds in 5-10 ft as well as along the banks in a few spots. Most of the fish came on yellow/white willow leaf spinnerbaits and Johnson silver minnows. Tried drifting for walleyes too but no takers. here's a few pics....

Nice pics Voyager.
That's gotta been a big pike chewing a bite off that bass
and looks pretty recent.
