Monster Northern Pike on a Fly

There's nothing better that watching a giant Northern Pike swoosh through the weeds and attack your fly right after it hits the water.

In this case it was a 44-inch monster that probably weighed in at over 28 pounds. There were numerous other trophy pike caught that day but you just know we never got tired of catching them.

What was it like fly fishing for lunker northern pike on a gorgeous spring day in the wilderness? Check out those sunny smiles. It just doesn't get any better.
