Yes...Absolutely!

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.

I am going to go out on a limb and say yes you can.

Yep, he did it. Bamboo is not sissy stuff

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!

Nah, nobody ever caught anything but dinks before fiberglass hit the market in the late 40's. Saltwater fishing was invented in 1952, don't ya know!

LOL, boo is tough I don't care what anyone tells you, it will take a lickin' and keep on castin'. People think it's namby pamby because they only think of boo as short light delicate dry fly rods.... give me an 8wt boo and I'll show you the carp that will bend it to the handle, but they will come to hand.

Cool! Never say never! but I will more likely snap it.

Wonder if that is the Steamboat area...??
Rumor has it a lake spilled over into the river there and now the river has a good population of pike....that feast on trout . Went skiing there and took my fly rod. Caught a few trout. Nothing to write home about(what I caught).
