This happened close to where we are and I have heard about and read about
this several times
Smith Lake is a small ad crowded "mudhole"
Wow! a 29lb pike on a fly rod ( I originally heard 29) lLets go w 30 Wow

I have caught my share smaller ones 6-8 lbs on a fly
Man, are they ugly fish w big teeth!
I I use long needle nose pliers as a hemostat is not as effective or strong
as a realease and I do cut the barb because I would never eat one of these?
They are fun and ugly
I caught a lot in Upper Lake Champlain - They were a big ugly mottled slimy
yellow green monster fish w real big sharp teeth
Great fight even a 2-3 pounder
