I've caught more big pike fishing swimbaits than any other lure! On this trip I'm in the kayak chasing northern pike on what might be one of the last open water adventures of the year before winter weather moves in and the lakes start freezing over. The water was cold and the fishing was tough but hard work paid off with a few big bites!
