First northern pike at skokie lagoon. She was an 18 " (catch and release). One weird thing I though pike were suppose to put up a fight and this young blood didnt feel like it was a fighter. Maybe its been that long since my last fish.

By the way the lagoon was jam packed today. YIKES!!!

I didnt really notice that except when I drove by the new part of the dam area i noticed there were fewer people fishing than normal. But I wish they would come down even harder on those people without there fishing licenses etc. And I hate the garbage people the ones that can carry items there but its hard to throw away the empty wrappers , I dont get it I dont understand those people (MORANS) its not that hard to pick up after yourself.

My goodness, is it worth the trouble and the consequence? Those people obviously are aware of the license requirement. Man, just spend the $13.

Pike fight pretty hard. the small ones much less though. a 2 pound pike (probably about the weight of the 18"er?)fight about as hard as a 12" 1pound Largemouth. The little pike tend to fight for about 5 seconds and then give up and just spiral in.
