Went fishing this morning on my local cannal, and caught 2 Pikes (esox lucius), i was well pleased with myself.
I caught them on a Perch looking plastic lure, the first one i caught was about 5lb and the second one i had out was about 3lb so they were only small by UK standards but still non the less a pleasurable catch,
I could have had 4 of the little buggers but they got spooked when the saw me crouched at the bank side, the first one i missed i could see it chasing my lure i actually thought i had caught a snag and it was trailing behind but on further inspection i could clearly see it was a pike and not a bad looking sized one either hard to say what i would estimate it's weight at because it was still in the water but i'd have said it "would" have been the biggest if i had caught it,
and the second one i missed as i was reeling back my lureseemed to have done a side dive and i could see all the fishes under side it also failed to hook .... gutted !!!
But unfortunatly i have no picture to prove, as my phone was dead so i decided to leave it at home to charge up, but i plan to go this weekend and " I WILL BE TAKING MY PHONE" all i have is a few teeth marks in my rubber lure (plastic lure)
Oh and thanks stotty for that lure first time i used it, it's a lucky lure
