 That will break your heart.....particularly when you think you got it covered using a 6x. Sometimes I think the tail hook is the problem. It pins the tail and creates a fulcrum where the leverage can pull the belly hook apart. How big do you reckon she was, and did she head my way by any chance? |

Monster pike
Even pike will try and eat something nearly half their size. That's a 7" darter, and it's yellow in the daytime.
I tied the fly I caught the trout on. It was one of a half a dozen that size I caught this wknd.

George,
It looked 4 or 5 " longer than the the low 30 # fish I had last week. I've never had a 40, but I have a feeling that was my first real shot at one.
