....two to go.

All right, so let's return once again to our last, freezing session in The Far East. Here's Harmen-Jan's pike:



This must have been the pike I spooked just a few minutes ago when I walked by and saw a cloud of mud in the water. Three things are pretty evident: 1) this pike suffers from amnesia 2) this pike has enough to eat 3) Harmen-Jan must have been a carp fisherman in a previous life.




And (of course) just when I was putting Harmen-Jan's camera back in the car, he had another pike on. No monster this time, but fun enough, especially considering the circumstances.






And Erik? Well, he sure did have some bad luck this day. First he was fishing at another spot that turned out to be pikeless. And when he joined us to have his fair share, he immediately hooked a pike too, but unwillingly performed a long distance release (under the road, as a matter of fact).



So Harmen-Jan's Super Secret Lunch Break Spot once again saved the day. Within maybe 20 minutes we moved 4 pike at a spot of no more than 10 meters long by 3 meters wide. That's winter piking too.
