We usually do not like to travel on holiday weekends, but on the spur of the moment we decided to go to one of our favorite fishing camps to fish for Pike. Bear Spring Camps is right on Great Pond in Maine and we had fantastic weather for the 3 days we stayed there. The water was very low because of the drought going on in most of New England right now. The staff at Bear Spring Camps said Great Pond was 1-1/2 ft. lower than normal. This made it harder to find the fish which were most likely in the deeper parts of the lake trying to stay cool. We spent about 8 hrs each day on the water and were rewarded for the effort!
Frank started off the first day great and caught this nice Smallmouth bass and the 2 large Pike below along with several other fish.

The day was almost over and I had not caught a Pike or much of anything. Frank said "They are going to start biting anytime now" and BAM! A big Pike hit my spinner bait. A whopping 29 inches!

After looking at these pictures I believe I must have measured Frank's Pike wrong. It was thrashing about so much it was really hard. But looking at these now, his must have been as large as mine. Sorry Frank ;-(
