I caught this one on a mini medussa last Thursday. Water was also 76/77. It was my first of 5 teips down there this year.
I fish out if a Kayak to take photos I have a bar with loose zip ties U slide my phone into and use vouce command. If you have any thing to prop your phone on. It will work i have set it on a tackle box a few times. I use selfie mode so I can see I am in frame say shoot 2 or 3 times and the fish is back in the water.
I gave also considered doing a video and taking a screen shot from there. It would give a lot of options over the coarse of holding the fish for even 5 seconds or less.

Reeling over the weeds and letting the paddle tail drop in the holes today. Landed two. Had one hooked pretty solid and two other hits. Getting a good eat didn't happen every hit but getting through the weeds where the fish were was worth it.
I am going to be staying at the South end of Lake George for a few days. I am looking for some suggestions/tips for area pike fishing.
I have done a fair amount of research on The area. I plan to fish the Sacandaga for a day. Mostly looking for good launch areas to get into fish with out too much travel, I will be fishing out of a kayak.
It is hard to be confident casting out into open water. But from what I have read and seem to have seen on my fish finder they are out there. Before I move on from an area I will cast out into open water I did have a good fish follow me last year doing it.
I was there today in my kayak from 6:30 to 5:30. And all I caught was a Pikeral as well I went up the West side and down the East. Didnt have a visible follow. Tried over weeds along weed edges and drop off. Bucktails glide baits crank baits and a few jigs.
Thanks for the replies! Generally when people ask how big they are I just say, they are that big.
It was nice to catch a few today. In the last week I got skunked on Waneta Onandaga and a few times on Otisco. I can go back to work happy now either way!
The first picture is right over my knees the second is held out.I know it is hard to tell from pictures. I decided to release the fish before measuring to reduce handling. I am glad I got it back in quickly but being my biggest fish I would love to have known.
I caught it out of a 12 foot Kayak that has a lot of room to move and walk around. But I wasn't comfotable with laying this fish on my bump board. Being able to easily get measurements has kept me out of tournaments I would like to fish. Any suggestions would be great!
I learned a lot by reading every post about Otisco Tigers on the message board a very large percent were from you.
I plan on fishing with you this fall.
Thanks! I ended up getting called back into work anyways.
Last time I was there I Had a Musky well into 20 pounds follow me in twice and not commit to the figure of 8 at all. It has me excited to get back when I can.
I was thinking about fishing Waneta tomorrow, just wondering if it will be as crazy and busy as most of the other lakes?
I want to target Musky even though the conditions are not great.
