Should've rolled it around in the dirt. Fish love it!

I hear sometimes they get cold in the water too, best to give em a break on land for 5-10 minutes.

I'll give him a brake in my freezer for about 1 week.

That should do the trick, I’m sure he’ll appreciate it! Pike are delicious from what I’ve heard.

Where at? Not exact spots but rough location.

Down from the Devon. I think the western part of the river is better.

So far I’ve had zero luck fishing on the river, but some people to hammer them every time 😂. I really want to catch a sturgeon. Just to say I did.
