Thanks pfessor, ill try to keep you updated.

I was at our pike out lake yesterday, you know the one you were catching bass on, and the ice was already out (actually it went out during the day while we were there). I decided that i would see if i could raise a pike on my fly rod, and on my 3rd cast one came flying out of the water at, but it got away. It hit a few more times and he finally grabbed it and took it. It took me a while to get it landed, and it ended up to be about 24".
