Moose and Monsters/pics

This was a morning of Monsters. It started of on the way the fishing hole. First was a beautiful Bull Moose. He was just a few yards from us and was not going to give up his area to anyone. We stopped and took many pics and a couple videos. Nothing seemed to bother him. After awhile we went on our way. The fishing was slow. I did get a very nice 16 inch slab which was released. Soon after came another monster. This being about a 15 lb. Pike. But that was not the story. I had hooked a smaller pike and this one grabbed it. Mind you I was fishing with 2 lb test line. I says no way will I get this fish to the boat. Not knowing that I had 2 pike on. That is not till I was able to get it to the surface. Then it was on. With hopes of maybe landing them both we got the net ready. It was ok till it got to the boat. Then the big one let go. But it was not done and came back for another look at what it had let loose of. It wanted to get another bite but missed. We were ready with the camera and did get a couple pics. Also in the photos is one of me taking a pic of the big slab with a reflection of me in the water with the fish. maybe one of the best shots I have got. By the way it was 29 at launch.
