My first 10+ pike!!!

I went out this morning to fish some pike. I started off with some shallow trolling and did that for a while. Didn't catch anything - as expected really. The water level in the river has went down drastically the last couple of days - especially during last night. It's almost down to the lowest level actually.

Future posts will be in English and if I feel like it, I might translate, at least some, old posts to English as well. So, enjoy and don't get hooked up (pun intended) on...
