Yes many times in my lake, when fishing for largemouth at night at least 4 or 5 times i have been spooled by pike, it has always been when i am not prepared for them with heavy gear, whenever I've used heavy gear, not a bite, I use the light spinning rod and line, and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzppph.
All but one were on jitterbugs at night, with one in the day on a big rapala.
I have also landed a few big ones on light tackle but I was in a boat and could follow them.
In the salt, a few times on Block mostly due to being under gunned.
