Update:
13 mini-pike removed since may 1, about 20 skeletor bass.
Onezy, the mythical lake beast, was found floating belly up in the lake, so the big pike is gone.
The walleye was caught again (supposedly, i did not see a pic)
Caught a 2lb bass this year, biggest i have ever seen from the lake, and my friend chris who is helping my dad fish the pond out got one that he says is 3lbs. Big fish for that lake.
Discovered another predator species: warmouth.

So we've got way to many pike, warmouth, lmb, black crappie, walleye, and a wide variety of types of bluegill (besides pumpkins, i have trouble telling the difference..but at least 3 more distinct kinds).

No pics just yet, trying to get my dad to start sending them to me. 4th of july bbq i will be out there for a few days fishing, and will make sure to get some.

The pike and skinny bass hunt is ON!!!!

The fish would stay out of trouble if it could just keep its fool mouth shut.
Turns out there is a lot I should be learning from the fish.
