Hit Bantam about 6 30 till 3. My dad started it off with a Flag. It took about 25 feet of line and my dad hooked the fish and it came undone. I got my 1st flag not soon after that. 1st flag for me and a 28inch pike at the end of it. A little upgrade on my PB that was 25inch last year. Then after that my tip ups where going up the whole day. But they did not produce and fish. It just seemed every time a fish made a huge run they would just drop it. Jigging was hard I only got one perch. Ill be back there tmw.

That's a great looking pike and the colors on that perch are stunning. Did you keep them or release them? Those pics really make me wanna get out and fish, hopefully this weekend.
 
Both where released. The pike needs to be 36inch to keep. And I thought very hard about useing the perch for bait maybe if he was a little smaller.
