There were the guys a few years ago that caught the 15 pound 23 inch fish out of Waterman.Weighed on a Bill Dance scale. It was in the Providence Journal and everything. ;D
There was a video somewhere.... :-/
I have only seen them in the fall and the only times I have been up there are for tournaments or prefishing for them. Plus it is one of the better smallmouth fisheries around and I just don't have much interest in pike, they are just like pickeral to me. And I have only seen 4 or 5 of them so it's not like they are all over the place.
My dad is the pike hunter.
All lines feel like that...unless your fishing with braid.

Not flouro and if I'm using mono I went over to Triple Fish and P Line XXX and they feel great.
When I was younger and my parents would complain about me buying something fishing related my response was usually... " You know mom, I know a few drug dealers." They stopped asking questions after I starting winning money though, big surprise.
Yes but only do it in drive-thrus. Around town with two drunken buddies in the boat giving the Ms. America wave and asking "How they biting?" to the car next to you at a red light is called reckless-endangerment. :-X :-[
Congrats!
They are rare there but on occasions in the fall at Great Sacandaga Lake in New York I have seen pike well over 4.5 feet long follow my spinnerbaits to the boat and their heads atleast 10". It is the home of the 46 pound world record and the next will be taken out of there.
During pre-fishing there late last September I witnessed my buddy have a pike on a spinnerbait that was easily 30 pounds (no disrespect to Mr. Hottle). Needless to say that War Eagle snapped in about 30 seconds but it was just enough to see her torpedo out. And we saw another 4-5 follow our baits to the boat in that same size class. By far the largest freshwater fish I have ever seen.
If you were looking into a trip to break 30 pounds that is the place to go Rolo.
I have yet to find a Dunkin Donuts drive-thru I can't conquer at 5am. The best is having your buddy run out and get in the passenger console and have him pay and get the coffee at the window.
Now if I could only conquer my drive-way... ;D
I spent the first 9 years of my life living on the Pike and the place is just over rated in my book. I refuse to believe the state record came out of there and there are much better places. Like where some people fish in Arcadia. It is perhaps the best pond in the state and there are multiple 10-12 pound fish in there. I have seen one I would say was in that range. And every year there are several 7-9 pound fish taken out of there but everyone keeps it hush hush. I think DEM puts trout in there to secretly grow giant fish like what they do in Cali.
Probably just 10 I had my foot on the brakes it is just that the hill in my driveway is so ____ steep. And I was turned around looking at not using my mirrors(rookie move).
