      Nice! This was m first baitcaster and my first Abu Garcia as well. So far i am loving it, still learning the ropes though. Hope it holds up like yours is XD

      Ain't that a thrill. I just bought the same reel. Hope to have the same luck. You can't beat an Abu Garcia. I have an old open face that I fished out of ...more a lake about ten years ago and still use it.

      Thanks man, caught on the Abu Garcia Black Max 3 baitcaster using 8lb fluoro and man he was working me. One of the most hard fighting fish for his size i have ever ...more dealt with.

    bluegill tails seem to be eel heaven. casted about 3 feet from edge and sat and waited for him to take it.

    not sure on the species so an ID would be great. hook through top of bluegill head, just the head as bait, cast about 3 feet from edge and sat talking until he came ...more along and ate it.

    Details: 22 in. Northern Pike with a Rapala crankbait

    Caught in roughly 2 feet deep water at 30 minutes past sundown with waters chummed using chopped eel

      Not a real keen eye to identifying fish but from what i've seen pickerel have a vertical black stripe past their eye. I don't recall one being there and ...more the video I have there doesn't appear to be one either. So i'm assuming it was a northern pike. He was 22+ inches long. Didn't have a scale with me to measure. Next one I land in this lake i'll be sure to post a picture on the catch. Bait fish were feeding like madmen about 6 feet from the bank i was fishing and I walked out on some rocks about 5 feet out in the mix of them. 20 yard cast straight out and he was on the hook about 10 yards from me.
