My most rememberable hit would be when I was fishing up in BC out of a canoe fishing for Pike. We were rowing the down the bank of this lake and just casting into different structure, when the pike came along side the boat within arms length and just looked at me. It was on of the crazist things. well I was about to cast with my spinning reel. and had the bale open. but decided to put the lure in front of the fish anyways. It barely hit the water and SLAM. fish on. Unfortenatly it also fillade my finger right open also. Still got that fish though. Final thought. those fish are mean. Mike
