Outdoors commentary: Northern pike, the king of north country fishing

Dick Broden, who was also with us, caught a very nice pike on his first cast to the base of a tree trunk with a white spinnerbait and was immediately dubbed, “The pike King” because he refused to fish for anything else the rest of our stay!

Pike commonly measure 6 feet, in length and I think just such a pike grabbed my little silver spoon when I was casting for smallmouth bass from Jim’s dock on our last trip to visit them a few years ago. Something very big and toothy grabbed the spoon, the ultralight spinning rod strained violently. The drag sang for just a minute and the line broke off.

To my embarrassment, my grandsons were standing beside me as witnesses. Of course, you don’t have to travel all the way to Canada to catch a pike. They are in Deep Creek Lake and throughout Pennsylvania and New York.
