Testing the Motor w/ a Pike Bonus!

 RiverJosh and I only had a few hours to fish after work tonight so we went local. 10 minute drive to Lake Beseck. Tossed in the boat for trip #2 and fired up the motor for the first time..(first pull) And took it for a nice little joy ride. The boat flat out flys and once up to speed planes nicely. 

We have now been to Beseck a few times in search for the " Pike " that may or may not be there. So far it has been a failure. But ive see photos of people getting pike and have heard from a few fisherman that there is a pike population there. So we continue to give it a shot. Last time we got 1 pickerel 0 bass and missed one solid hit, Tonight josh got a nice pickerel on a pink sluggo and a yellow perch on a white grub. A few minutes later i got a 2 lb largie on a white spinner bait by the dam.

Then right before we were going to leave we checked one last area that had a pike vide to it and i got smacked on my spinner bait, the fish left a wake flying to the right and we both knew this was gonna be one our first beseck pike and second and most importantly the first pike in my new boat! It was 26.5 inches. Not very big but i wouldnt have cared if it was a 14 incher. lol Now with this pike it puts me and josh combined to 98 Pike on the year. All on lures and all released.
