I took a half day off work today to take advantage of the awesome weather. I fished very hard and caught fish, but they were not jumping in the boat. The dogfish I caught was the biggest I have ever seen, it is to bad that the picture did not turn out very well.
I missed / lost several pike that were in that mid thirties to around forty inch size. I am really struggling with hooking and keeping these larger size fish on. The majority of the fish I caught were in extremely shallow water.
