i took my girl friend out on the boat for her first time last summer drifting in the mouth of the niagara river hoping to catch a couple walleye. i let her use my good drifting pole, she had a fish on then the pole almost doubled over, i get the net out ready to net something, when i watched the fish come to the boat it spit out the 20" sheephead and swam away, it was by far the biggest pike or musky that i have ever seen, the sheephead wasnt as lucky as the pike. with teeth marks halfway up it we threw it back and it didnt swim away
