I'm an angler myself. Most of my "real" fishing is done on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan now. When I said "fluke" I meant did you just accidentally fall into that one or were you set up to get him. Sounds like you were set up!

I'm a big Shimano fan myself. At least for reels anyways. Some of their rods are ok for the river fishin' around here. I picked up my first St. Croix rod last year and i'm hooked now. (no pun intended)

Anyways, nice fish!! I'll dig out some pics of a few gigantic Northern Pike and pm you

How about Herb Washington's 1974 season? 92 games, 29 stolen bases, no official at bats and a World Series championship.

Just looked him up.. as much a fluke they maintained this tactic. He was caught 16 times!! for a whopping 64% success rate.
