Default Big pike on the fly!

Caught this guy on Canada day! Was a heck of a fight on my 5wt rod.

Sure did! Took me way into the backing and ended up having to chase it down with the boat. Was a real team effort getting that sucker in!

On a 5 wt!? Insane! I'll bet there were times in the fight you were wondering about the rod a bit
A true rod class record.

Nice!

I won't ask location, but what did you use and method? Troll a streamer? what? Thanks!

Thats a beauty and a fine catch on any type of rod! But on a 5wt that's quite the accomplishment.

Wonder what the provincial record is for a Northern on a fly rod?

Congrats!
