Meter pike

Wow - it has been way to log since I posted anything! I did some fishing this season, but with mediocre effects. I did only one trip with the new bellyboat, more to try it out than to do serious fishing. My annual trip to Poland end up with fishing for carp with my father, as the temperature was up to 38deg! Now I'm kind of between holidays, today I spontaneously packed some minimum gear and visited old hotspots and bingo! I landed this 103cm beauty, fight was long and the fish was very strong. I had to reanimate it and for a moment I had a terrible feeling the fish will not survive. Fortunately it happily swam away. I was in a hurry to return it back so I have only one crappy photo.
