Pike attacks walleye twice.
« on: April 16, 2011, 01:14:11 PM »

My Dad and I a couple of years ago in Northern Ontario on a fly in trip.  Tonnes of walleye in this lake, and it's also where I caught my biggest pike ever.  This spot, we found was up on a shelf in about 9 feet of water, and we were catching walleye one after the other.  We'd hook the odd pike, but then this happened.  Very, very cool.

Thanks for sharing the cool vid.  Everytime I see things like this I think "Darwin's Law" at work.

I remember fishing for pike when I was young and they were some mean bunch.
Despite their aggressiveness, however, they never quite seem to have the stamina of a sea run steelhead or salmon when hooked.
But pike, perch and walleye fishing does bring back many fond memories from the past. :)
