ouch man!!!!!! a 50.7 inch pike!!!!!!! holy $#@#!!! if that had happened to me, i would have broken my pole in half and tossed it in the lake. i then would preceed to toss all my fishing tackle in the lack. ripped my liscense in half and thrown it in the lake. i then would have sat down and cried. lol that big of a fish i would have probably not fished the whole summer

Yeah, that sucks. That is one huge pike. Good catch, bad luck.

had a 22 pound channel cat on the line maybe 3 feet from shore it does a nose dive and pulls out my hooked and the bait is slung back at my face.

how could estimate the weight at 22 pounds?

fisherman thing.

as stated in the the rules of being a fisherman, fish that get away- always seem to gain alot of weight as they get away...

Redefining maturity, eh? I would have fished as much as possible to catch him or a larger specimen.

Double in weight once they get away. Add two inches and a pound with each telling of the story. For example, Man you should have seen my 7 foot largemouth bass! That monster must've weighed 80 pounds!

A couple of years ago in Lake in the Woods, had a nice perch (14+") got it close to the boat and a big pike came up and hammered it. I had a fight w/it for about 2 minutes when it broke off. And by break off, I mean halved the perch.

once i was fighting a cat in a small pound, which the owners told me there went catfish in ther. i got it onto shore but when i reached down to grab it it flopped and pulled a slight death roll and i lost it. i was fighting it for almost ten minutes to. if you want to see a guy with bad luck fishing, watch bill dance.
