Jared Stuettgen and Justin Sweet-  Went fishing on Stockade lake, Custer co. on sat. 18th of Oct.  Trolled all around the lake and tried to stay in 20 F.O.W.  pulling crank baits around 2-2.2 mph got 3 smallmouth bass, two at 16 inches and one at 21 inches and 5 lbs. Also got 5 pike, 4 hammer handles- 3 at 24” and a 21” and a nice 31” pig weighing around 7-8 lbs.  A great day for the first time open water fishing it.  They all went back to get bigger except for the 31” pike, we should have tossed her back but she tasted so good.

Chad Raterman from Summerset SD caught a 12-pound Northern Pike, 36 inches long in the Jenny Gulch area of Pactola Reservoir. On 9-28-2008. Used an orange and silver spoon in around 10 feet of water.  The experience was great, it was a cool morning around 50 degrees, but started to warm around 9am. After switching from Trout fishing to this big spoon, it took only three casts and this monster was hooked.
