    Twice in one day on a 7' 6" 4 weight bamboo. You sometimes have no idea what you are going to catch in northern Indiana lakes.

    30" Pike will run around 7 lbs. A 6wt rod can handle that. Looks like it gave a good fight! Always surprising is landing a pike without a steel leader! He did a good job landing and releasing the fish without ending up with bloody fingers!
    Cool video!
