I hope the photos uploaded this time. Anyway, I thought I would post this fish because someone out there has a story to tell. I caught it on the north tip of 3rd reef on an 11" sucker/tip-up. After one heck of a battle on light line (walleye set up) I landed the hog. The crazy thing was it had a Cabelas deep diving silver/black walleye trolling crank in the side of its face, along with 6 feet or so of mono. I thought it was quite odd that the lure was still hooked perfectly in the corner of the pike's mouth. Maybe there was a weak spot in the line or the pig dove into the prop or something...either way I thought it was pretty strange. I included a photo of the lure as well, in the hopes someone might recognize it and be able to fill in the blanks for me. Oh, and as for the fish...she was safely released once my hook and the lure were removed.
