After a long day at work I walked down to the lake with my wife and daughter to catch some perch. The perch were not biting at all. As we sat there a bit bored, my little girl made a very cool statement. She said, "As long as you are fishing you can't lose, but you could possibly win" Several minutes later she yelled "I got one!" She fought this big carp for more than 5 minutes with her BARBIE fishing pole and very light line. She never horsed the fish a bit, even when it took her under the dock peeling drag. She patiently fought this fish like a true master! We didnt bring the scale or the camera this trip but snapped a quick cell phone picture to show off her catch. I would guess this carp went between 10-12 lbs. My daughter has caught many 2-3lb smallies but this is her biggest catch to date. Maybe it is time to take her pike fishing this weekend?

Where do you go pike fishing? We are looking for a good Washington NP fishery rather than returning to Northern MN every fall.
Would appreciate any guidance. Thanks and congrats on the carp. We used to have such fun catching them in the midwest when I was a kid. Grandma would leave her pole laying on the dock (no pole holder) and would go in for lunch or something and come back and the pole would be gone! I can still smell the fabulous homemade vanilla doughbait she used to make.

CarpMouth: Sorry for the late response. I didnt expect anybody to comment on a Carp Report! Idaho offers the best Pike fishing around Spokane. CDA and the Chain Lakes are best. You can get Tiger Muskies in Silver and Newman Lakes. The Pend Orille River has pike. Silver Lake is producing 40+ inch Tiger Muskie! Go get em~!
