i WAS 99.9% sure that a mermaid was playing around with me today while fishin for pike, heres the breakdown.

**was fishing a sandbank that i always thought was debris free so i was being careless with the retrieve.
reeling..... hit.. nvm just a snag.... managed to get it free so i reeled in to see if it was weeds. to my surprise it was a huge lump of hair(instantly i remembered about shwa a couple weeks back) but put that thought in the back of my mind. cast out again as i was still sure there was no snags there. reeling...... hit, this time it ran straight for the deeper water just ajacent to the bank and managed to shake me off... hoping to entice a second strike i cast again. reeling.. jerk jerk... reeling..... snag.. then it started moving slowly towards me then faster and faster.. i managed to keep the line tight for a lil while then slack.... $#@$! reeling in, thinkin man that was big pike. then i noticed a big ass scale on my hook. at that point i was trippin out and didnt even stop and think that it could have been a carp i just didnt want to be near that spot so i moved far far away. never did find out wether it was a mermaid or not, maybe a merman? who cares im sober now.

anyways picss(sorry for bad pics, fishin by myself using phone for cam.)

Hey man nice fish, and yes that scale is huse, could be a carp but who really knows. I was wondering were you were fishing for these pike, and this merman/mermaid?
I am interested in catching he/she to exploite them for my own financial gain.
Thnx

I'm pretty sure thats a carp scale. I wouldn't be surprise it came from a carp similiar size to the one I caught.

I find that catching mermaids can be pretty tricky; it is hard to find out when the actual open season is, and how much the licence cost and when you finally do catch them, man, do they ever complain alot! :)
 
Like MikeyMikey said, can you please share these spots, i can assure you any fish caught will be released. I have yet to have a good day of pike fishing in at least a year and would love to take the wife to a spot were she could catch her first one.
Thnx in advance
Chris
