Nope, not a one. We have musky in some of them, but no pike.

DANG….beautiful pictures and fish. The markings on those fish are killer. I love it when a bass hammers a jerkbait!!!

Thanks for sharing it with us and like it has already been said, fishing with your son is the best thing about this post!

They usually also go airborne several times even in cold water. I know when we went to Erie the smallies would come straight out of 30 FOW to go airborne.

Yep. It doesn't usually take them long to hit some air, either. I love catching them out of the local rivers on a fly rod.
