[QUOTE="Lando, post: 332846, member: 7546"] A meter is 39.37 inches. I know this because I watch a Swedish pike fishing show on Youtube called Fly vs. Jerk. The only other Euro measurement I know is that a kilo is 2.2 lbs......don't ask me how I know this. Traditionally, Halloween weekend is when we start to see the big girls show up into the shallows so we can target them with the fly. The weather took a turn for the worst....or the better if you're a pike fisherman. The first morning, fish were going nuts. The first three fish were all over 35"......until I hooked this girl. She was 39"-just shy of our goal. [ATTACH=CONFIG]50480._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]50479._xfImport[/ATTACH] Fishing was good up until around 2:00-after that we grinded out a few more fish. The day's total was 23 fish to the boat, plenty of follows, blow-ups, and fish that tossed the fly all too soon. [ATTACH=CONFIG]50482._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]50483._xfImport[/ATTACH] The next morning, my buddy's dad joined us. We loaded up in his boat, but I asked if he had pliers or tools.....he said no, so I grabbed mine. I should have asked if he had a net. Soon into the first bank's drift, my buddy came tight. She taped at 39 1/2".....just over a meter. Goal achieved. [ATTACH=CONFIG]50481._xfImport[/ATTACH] We took the lead boat status, and soon after, his dad was hooked up. My buddy asked if I needed a net.......Yes, was my reply. As he was making his was over, she rolled over and I knew she was done. I took the chance to grab her-and I held on for dear life. [ATTACH=CONFIG]50484._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]50485._xfImport[/ATTACH] The fat girl went 41".......The rest of the day was rough. We eked out 11 fish for the boat, my buddy's boat netted two fish all day. [ATTACH=CONFIG]50486._xfImport[/ATTACH] I wonder why? I had Monday off of work, so I figured we would hit the morning bite one more time. It sucked. We worked and worked for two eats each. [ATTACH=CONFIG]50487._xfImport[/ATTACH] I landed only one fish. [ATTACH=CONFIG]50488._xfImport[/ATTACH] ....and he bit my ass. [ATTACH=CONFIG]50489._xfImport[/ATTACH] Hopefully the weather can stay consistent for a few more weeks. I really would like to get down a few more times. I know there is 45" girl waiting to eat my offering. [/QUOTE]
