The Biggest and the Smallest
Pike
It was a cloudy afternoon in late
June when I finally woke up. I was still sleepy after a very late
night out with my buddies. While sipping my coffee I tried thinking
of something that would occupy my time instead of getting into
mischief. Since the sun wasn't shining, going for a swim was out of
the question. It wasn't raining either so I phoned JB and told him
that it was a perfect day for pike fishing up in Kuik Slough. Sure
enough he agreed to go on the trip with his boat. I got ready and
waited down on the beach for him to pick me up. As JB was coming up
the river I noticed that he had brought Joe-Joe and Wee-gee along for
company. Since we needed a slave or two on our trip, I figured that
it would be O.K.
While we were on our way toward the
spot where Leslie Hunter's cabin is located we saw a bear skin on a
big rock. JB, Joe, and I knew that it was just a bear skin but
Wee-gee thought that it was a live bear. We told Wee-gee to get his
gun ready, and it was so funny watching him get excited over that
bear skin. But as we got closer to it Wee-gee discovered that it was
just a bearskin. When we got to our fishing area near Leslie's cabin
I watched the other guys throw their first casts. When Joe caught the
first pike I became convinced there were fish there and I started
casting too. My first cast I almost got a monster pike but it saw me
moving on the bank. It must have swum to the deep part after that
because I didn't see it again. Then we boarded the boat and anchored
out about 50 yards from shore. It was then when we started to catch
pike like heck. Almost every cast we would get a big one.
Our successes slowed down after a
while but Wee-gee and I were still lucking out because we had the
best lures. I got both the largest and the smallest pike which made
the trip good for me. About an hour later though we got bored, so we
counted our fish and started back for home. We counted 15 big pike
and one little one.
The trip home was fun because
Wee-gee, Joe, and I were shooting at baby ducks and sea gulls with my
.22 rifle. We didn't get anything though because my scope wasn't
sighted in very well.
