There is way more to the story,
The picture of the pike I posted was around 24"
I ended up hooking into 5 ok sized pike,
I watched a 40"-48" engulf my fly, it made its run,
And I could not do anything to slow it down,
I had a reel malfunction
my 9 wt rod blew out
This is why you don't use a $30 reel
Lesson learned
