Went fishing for the first time in 2 years today w/ a buddy of mine. (bought my license on-line last night) Fishing line was 2 years old and I tried to back out until I was more prepared, but he wouldn't have it. We went to LaDue Reservoir this morning just looking to get out on the water. wildlife.ohiodnr.gov/laduereservoirI fished with the same lure all day (we were casting along the banks) and nothing until 11:15 AM. Then, I hooked a giant Pike. Now, I hadn't fished in over 2 years let alone ever caught a Pike in Ohio waters. My teeth were cut back in California. To make it short, I caught a Pike that was at least 3 ft. long and looked like some prehistoric creature. After tiring it out my buddy tried to net it (wouldn't fit) and I wasn't quite sure what to do next. I knew to grab it by the gill plate but wasn't really sure where the teeth were actually located. So, as soon as I slipped my hand inside it's gill it did the "death roll" and eventually flopped out of the net. No pictures, nothing. We both had the shakes for about 15 minutes after and it's something that I will never forget. That thing was huge!

The fish was a bit bigger than this one in the picture. What a rush.
