Hey Chum,
I recently went Pike fishing in Utah for the first time and had an incredible time. The cove we were fishing in looked really fishy, and I had a good feeling about it. We came over a small drop off and I let my fly sink all the way to the bottom before beginning my retrieve. As soon as I began to retrieve back to the boat, the line went taught and I set the hook. A few moments later, the fish came to the surface and I let out a shout of excitement. I had the biggest fish I'd ever seen on the end of my line. After a quick fight, my buddy netted the fish. She taped out at 41.5" and weighed in at 20.6 lbs, just shy of the Utah Catch and Release record. We quickly snapped a few photos and sent her on her way.
Thanks,
Shane Thomas
