[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1228082, member: 4362"] I think I was. Whole thing was a fluke. I was down to my last spoon - a red devil which I could have sold for $100 because the pike were wearing it out but were rarely biting anything else. My cast fouled and the spoon went to the bottom and when I got my line sorted I started reeling and thought I had snagged it in the rocks on the bottom and I was crushed. Then the line started moving to the side and I started reeling. He started pulling the drag and pulled the canoe in a 180. I let the canoe serve as a drag with the reel and kept working him. Finally got him to the boat and just grabbed his gills and started pulling the thing in the boat. I'm probably stretching it but from memory he seemed to have been nearly four foot long but he may have grown over the last 40 years. But he was big and I had to let him go. I'd have killed for some oil, batter and ketchup but I had nothing but dehydrated food. Still remember the lake though. It was called Lilly Pad Lake. I'll always remember that place. Fishing was terrific. [/QUOTE]
