Way to spread the word Mark!

Good job Mark. And cudos to Alan for talking to us. That must be pisces incorrect for sports writers! I'm jealous you get
to be #1 piker but at least I'm tied with many others for the #2 slot!!

Right now I'm # 1 with 8 pike landed so far this year. LOL

The opening line in the article was Alan's doing. I'm flattered by his comment, but I didn't and still don't make any claims to being the best or most passionate pike fisherman in the area. I know there are a lot of very good pike fishermen out there, and others that would really love to see the mudslinging and finger pointing stop being directed at the pike.

I appreciated him asking for my comments, and it's fun being part of his article. I'm glad he was interested in doing a piece about the pike from a positive standpoint, rather than just the negative input we normally see in the paper.

I would love to see more positive follow up in the future. However, I had an email with the sports editor from the Spokesman. He said he appreciated seeing both sides of the issue, but couldn't guarantee any future articles.

I guess we'll have to take what we can get.

Enjoy, and build on that eight fish lead Rick. You'll be seeing my tail lights in the near future. However, I do see you making a big charge in June if you're still heading up to Last Mountain Lake. Have fun up there.

May 20th to the 26th the dream comes true.

Take lots of leader material. Them bay boys, or should I say bad girls have big sharp teeth!
