NWK - used to fish a group of small lakes in a chain north of here that was just lousy with 15-20" pike. In the spring you could work a popper along - pop,pop,pop - and watch 4 or 5 [or more] "torpedo" wakes zeroing in on the popper. One morning I was pop,pop,pop and one wake headed for the popper. For some reason I just stopped my retreive. The pike just zoomed across the path of the popper missing it completely! The fish swirled around a bit but never did find the bug. I couldn't fish for a while 'cause I was laughing too hard!! [This chain is pretty well ruined now from the farm field run off in the spring. You can almost walk on the water with all the mud. Shame.]

Anyway - tite lines.
