i tried my homade pike lure for about the last 15-20 min. i got my PB pike on about the 3rd or 4th cast, a nice 30incher, we couldnt weigh it because the scale was dead. after a couple pics, and my NEXT cast i had on a HUGE bass, we think it was bigger then the one i got last year out of there, a 22" 5 1/2 pounder, he came up and jumped 2 times, about 20 feet from the boat and looked HUGE, but he threw the lure back at me on the 2nd jump. so i tried to follw up hoping he would somehow bite again on a MegaBait swimbait, but nothing. i think i am going to make a few more like it. my jointed lure has really good action. i think i will make some double jointed lures as well.
