My fishing partner and I went to Kenosha Harbor today to try our luck at fishing again. Last time we went, it hailed on us! So today, we decided to arrive later in the day at 8 AM instead of our usual 5:30 AM!
Jim caught a 3 lb Brown Trout just moments after we got there. Nice! But I didn't get anything at all until the very last moment.
I had just said, "Hey Jim... time to go home now..." and then I followed up immediately with, "right after I catch this fish!" Lo and behold, I had a 28" pike on my line! Both Jim and another fisherman there were laughing that at the very moment of announcing we should leave, the fish hooked up on my line!
I released the pike because I thought the fish was not big enough. But after checking the Wisconsin Fishing Regulations, a keeper size would be 26 inches. Mine was 28 inches so it was legal to keep. Oh well. Jim kept the Brown Trout since there's no size limit on those fish. Great day!
