Most pike are eating machines. Not uncommon have one bite your lure off and you catch it later with lure still in mouth.

You have timber rattlers in PA, I know not near as deadly as this one.

Yeah we do, but not in my area thankfully! I did see and kill one on a camping trip to northern PA a few years ago, but nothing that big!

Saw a beautiful sight today driving into town today. A six point bull elk in the middle of the road with a five point close behind. Both in velvet and the antlers are still growing. Sorry, no pics as I never have my cell phone in my hands when I'm driving. Truth be told I normally always leave the house without it. The wife made me take it today, though. She can get pretty damn persuasive once in a while that I feel it is best to do what obey.
