A rainy day on the water

Well yesterday the kids got me out in the boat and fishing and it was a lot of fun other than that we no more than got there and it started raining on us, well out came the rain coats and away we went. Well the wind was blowing fairly good so we headed across the lake so we would be out of the wind at least and man were the bass biting and nice ones at that (sorry no measurements) we never kept any of the bass but the pike were not so lucky. The pike weights were 7lbs, 5 3/4, and 4 1/4 lbs, with several misses that some even looked bigger, may just have to hit that lake again soon and get a few more to smoke up for this ice season.
Here is the first fish that i caught (7lbs On the mark) with others caught but no other fish pics of the pike on the lake.

Here is a pic of my oldest son holding one of many bass caught yesterday while casting for pike.

Here is a pic of the boys holding up the stringer at home just before cleaning.

And me holding them up.

There ya got i finally got out for the second time this year and am waiting to get out again soon.

Great pics Mike.....Glad you got out there and had a great day!!!!

going to smoke them after there done being in the brine, so about another day they will get full attention by the smoker lolol.

Yep the thing wasn't on the stringer 10 minutes and he done that, least i got my pic with it.
