I currently have a Med action ugly stick and a nice Real not sure what model it is. I got them both at gander mountain when I lived up and Las Vegas.  its time to lean how to fish for Northern pike-muskie, and catfish. I would love to learn how to set up a rig use with Blue gill or Chubs  even night crawlers.  I can get a better Rod if I need to I just don't know how to  set up the Rigs to fish for Muskie  or pike Some dude told me best way was a slip bobber. Any tips would be welcome. 

I fished for pike yesterday in the kayak it was a blast caught 2 but we use bobber steel leader and shinner thats how iv always caught them but rapalas where the ticket yesterday

I might of seen you yesterday I was the one with the Camo hat on and shirt. I got a 26 inch large mouth last year up and warren it was huge wish I got it weigh in. But Ill  try to use some of my Rapalas Not sure if my  6 lb trillion will handle a pike. I got 12 lb on my other rod but its a cheap rod so it might break  lol

If you want to catch pike just go to conneaut lake and fish the bays with spinnerbaits with a large trailer.  We were musky fishing there the past 2 days and seen probably 40 of the little guys going after our large jerkbaits and plugs I managed to land a 37 inch pike.

just depends on how deep they take the hook ... iv only started to catch them the last two years mostly unintentionally but all i use is a medium action pole with 6-8 pound line
 

I would sugest heavyrr line 12 15 lb IMO where I fish its tight corters and you hook into a bot One they put up a fight watch out for teeth they hurt

Nice catch man I'm going have to take a trip with you some time. We just got are hitch today for the boat. If my ugly stick can bring and a 5 lb 24 inch steely it sure can bring and a pike or muskie :}

here is a walleye I got when I was like 19 20 I'm not sure but it was   about 4-5 years ago I was using the smallest treble hook because I was fishing for Perch-bluegill Funny thing was I used a dead frozen mini I found near a already made hole just my  luck ;/

Awesome pike bro! And thats a boss eye fishJoe where you located I may have a nasty pike spot closer then cony lake its so obvious its retarded
