Personal Pike Angling Highlight of 2009

What has been your personal pike angling highlight of 2009?

Mine was catching a seventeen pounder on a Salmo Slider back in March. It was the last cast of the evening, darkness had fallen, plus I never expected such a fish from this particular venue as no one else had or is fishing it. Plus it is a personal best lure caught pike.

Mine was on Sunday 13th December 09, i fished a pairs match with Kell, we caught 900 lbs of Pike between us, Kell had to pack in early through repetative strain injury due to landing so many Pike.

having a brief hook up with a pike of truly huge proportions back in january.... from the feel of it DEFINITELY a 30+....... then pulling out of it

me and my mate having 16 runs in one day 12 landed including 6 doubles to just over 16lb !!
problem is we've been on a really bad barren spell since

by the way Rob h , are you a member of hull branch of pac ??

Mine has to be my PB caught back in March.

no mate i'm not

watching my wife hook and land a new pb of 14lb 10 all on her own. well impressed, taught her all she knows lol

The fact that I have actually got involved with Pike fishing.............

that would have to be catching my first ever pike on my first lure fishing trip this october, in clear water i see it follow my lure to the bank 3 times in 3 casts, i was getting impatiant

Mine would be witnessing a friend catch a pb of 29lb 3oz from a completely unexpected venue. It was a heck of a fish to witness being landed and one which has spurred me on to try fishing waters that i would possibly have passed off without a second thought last year.

mines catching 18 jacks in a 3 hour session on a 4play and if you had seen were from you would not belive there was on pike in there
