So Saturday in New England was interesting for me.. Working on my first boat, so only shore fishing for now..
Picked up my fishing license Friday, so Saturday was MY opening day.. LOL
My Fianc?' had the first catch of the day.. Bluegill. Nice!
Then I got one! Small (about 7-10 inch) Bass..
Then, Another strike. Thought it was a bass again, but it stayed low.. Fought a bit tougher.. Turns out it was my first Pike!
Well, I'd never caught a pike before, and my first reaction was "What the heck is THAT!" lol...
Anyway, I saw the teeth, and was trying to figure out how to unhook it. It was a small one, but still daunting to the unprepared.
A few moments later, my line snapped and it swam off.
Never knew there were even Pike where I fished! I looked up info on how to handle and unhook, so next time I know better.
Man! What an experience though! LOL
Had to share.. Exciting... Educational... (to me... haha!)
