Pike on a "Bamabassman Suspending Jerkbait"

[WatterBoy]

Hey Bama, remember that H2O Xpress Chrome/Black suspending jerkbait you sent me as part of the Secret Santa gift exchange last Christmas? Well, I finally tied it on for the first time last Sunday afternoon. I've never fished a jerkbait before, but apparently the pike in our lake don't care.

I caught this 3lb 7oz, 24.5" pike on my SECOND cast! I used it for a bit longer after that with no other bites, but I'll be sure to bring it back out again next time we're up there.



At the time, this was the 3rd largest pike I've caught on this lake since we've owned our place there in the fall of 2008. I bested that a couple times later Sunday night on a different lure(!), but those details and other pics & stories will come in a different thread in a day or two when I have more time.

For now, I just wanted to share this pic and some quick details and say thanks again for all the cool stuff you sent me last Christmas!
