An ice fisherman near Saint Johnsville, New York, got more than he bargained for from this brute of a pike.
Handline fishing through the ice is a tried-and-true method many fishermen have a lot of success with.
The excitement is great for the young children getting a front-row seat, but when you hear the angler's reaction, you'll remember why we all revert back to our childish ways when we've got a big one on the line!
WARNING: Some strong language in this video.
Congratulations to this angler on a great catch, and thanks to Randy Dodson for sharing this great video!
According to Dodson, the 48-inch fish was released safe and sound to fight another day.
