Nice catch, and in more ways than one from the lake.
Pass on my kids and my congrats.

Lol, she's 6, not eleven. During the fight she asked me to take the rod a couple times and I told her "I think you better fight this one yourself, it might be the biggest fish you'll ever hook". Somewhere around the 15-20 minuet mark we hadn't even seen the fish yet, the pike was still fighting pretty hard, she was getting exhausted and started crying, the experience had gone from intense to traumatic for her. Obviously she needed some help but I still didn't feel good about taking the rod so my 8 year old daughter finished the fight. Before we even got a glimpse of that fish both girls were already scared of it, the fish having grown to monstrous proportions in their imaginations... and when we finally did get it beside the boat it didn't disappoint by much... That half hour or so left a big impression on all of our memories that will not soon be forgotten.
