That's funny, that is exactly how I caught my first pike.
I was about ten and had been having a slow day all day and finally caught a big sunfish, so (although I don't endorse it now) I started casting the sunfish out and re-catching it over and over again for some excitement.
About the 5th or 6th cast, boom! I hooked a big pike.
Neeedless to say, from that day on it was catch sunfish and let them swim away for the big pike! It worked great.
