Tips for landing a pike in kayak sitting?
The way I understand it, it’s a victory when the pike shakes off. Sounds to me like you did everything correctly except getting the hook stuck in your hand.

Random thought for the day
I used to think I never had to worry about thieves since everyone has nicer stuff than me. Then they took my 14 foot Jon boat with 25 horsepower. Go figure

I could definitely upgrade my rope. Mine has been due to snap for about 8 years now

Mini Rant about trucks with Bright Headlights.
My brother lives in Philly and has lost count of the tickets he gets going back and forth to moms house in TN hahah. I suggested to him to go around, maybe take an ocean liner instead ! (The uber rich take their boats from Knoxville to the ocean, some even complete “the great loop”)

Best Boot Tail Swimbait
I’m up to about 50-60 fish on this same plastic in the last week or so. You can’t do that with a keitech and a 5 gallon bucket full of glue. I also got 2 20 packs of these last year for $2.99 apiece. I would get keitech if I liked throwing money into the river last year my buddy came to stay at my place for the weekend and fish. He was bumming paddle tail/boot tail hand pour baits from me before the end of the Saturday session because smallmouth ate through the 3 packs of keitech he brought to the tune of $24. His catch rate didnt decline when he started using my baits either

Mini Rant about trucks with Bright Headlights.
Ugh! The landing strip method, also drives me crazy. That and when people slingshot around me on the acceleration/on-ramp. Come on people, wait for the car in front of you to merge into traffic before you merge. Then there's people turning directly into the outside lane....... Can y'all tell I drive all day at work??

Best time of the day to fish in prespawn?
Work dictates when I go. Fish are always there. First thing in the morning is the best time to fish in my opinion 100 percent of the time but I'm usually at work so I fish evenings. At my house the current is typically nice and calm all morning and my retired or self employed buddies wax em before the wave of water comes down. By the time I'm off work the shoals where they were slaying are underwater, the current is 5 mph and you can't catch a thing haha.

Launching and loading the boat without waders or wet feet (video)
In your situation I would back further in until the boat was wanting to float off and use the rope method. But my E brake needs adjusted badly so I’m scared to get too close to the water haha. I actually found the e brake adjusters but you’d have to have mouse paws to get in there and adjust them I usually fish from 5 pm until dark and we are always racing daylight, chomping at the bit to go fishing after work so I need to everything to go somewhat quickly

Launching and loading the boat without waders or wet feet (video)
That’s the main reason I don’t have a topper, I use my truck mostly for fishing and launching a boat. It’s also a lot easier to back the trailer without a topper (vision). Mulch, firewood, loads of rocks are some other reasons. I do have a camper shell on my work truck to keep tools and critters dry (boss won’t let me use it for boat launching though haha)
