about 12 years ago my dad and i were walleye fishing a few miles north of west sister and i was bringing in my line bummed that we were not catching anything but white perch and sheeps, i got my weapon into sight and seen a big body move very quickly around my line so i let out a little drag did some figure eights and boom a 32" northern pike just demolished my lure. i was using a 6'0 rod med. light with 8 lbs test. that pike took me all the way back out to where i originally was in the first place! that was my first northern ever and the only one. i will never forget that day at the cleaners they didnt believe me that i caught it out on the lake...good eatin fish good thick meat!
