This 46 1/4-inch pike ended up being my largest of the trip. In four days of fishing, Dunlop and I landed 14 trophy pike and countless smaller fish. We also caught quite a few walleye, without even trying. But numbers can only tell some of the story. What they can't explain is the suck-in-your-breath moment that comes when a pike appears behind your lure, and the jolt that runs through your entire body when the fish tries to rip the rod from your hands. I couldn't get enough of it, and I'm already planning on going back for more.
