Jim137a Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Since it was Halloween just had to throw the ghost - LOL. Actually been throwing it quite a bit lately looking for a big bite and testing out the different modes you can fish this bait. Such a fin bait to throw on the right rod - nameless customs 868 makes throwing 9 oz.

FishDr Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Gorgeous northern! When your fish is longer than your measuring board, you're doing something right. Jim137a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your fish is longer than your measuring board, you're doing something right. Thanks for the kind words. I’m hoping for a few more and possibly a Muskie before the season ends here. I missed an absolute giant of a Muskie the other day on the ghost - hoping to go back soon and find him in a more aggressive mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fried Lemons Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Great pike! Do you use a leader for these fish? I’ve been taking my chances using bigger hard baits in the hopes that they won’t touch the line and haven’t been bitten off… yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m using about 12” to 18” of 40 # flouro as a leader. they generally T bone the bait so with bigger baits - 12” and above the chances of getting bit off are minimal but I don’t want to lose my Cali Dream ghost so I use flouro leader.

Pike are pretty epic - the bite is incredible - They can hit a bait at 60 mph according to google and the fight is pretty epic.
