Fishing Report

40.0" Northern Pike caught by Bruce Parks fishing on Tuesday May 12, 2009 at 17:35 in Lake Saint Catherine 4.86 km from Wells in Rutland County, Vermont (VT), United States North America using a Black/silver a Stick Bait by Rapala International

Trolling Rapala stick baits for brown trout, both on downriggers at 14 ft. and on planer boards, about 80 ft. back in 28 feet of water. This fish hit the lure so hard most of the Riviera planer board went underwater! Spent a good 15 minutes working the fish to the boat, but when we tried to net it, it was way too big for the 22" wide rubber net....had the fish out of the water twice with about 12" extending beyond the net on each side. On the second attempt the lure caught the net and the fish was gone! Definite adrenaline pumper! On the basis of the net width we estimated the fish to be around 40".
