Irpin River. Dam.

Had a nice day out fishing with Dad. Tried everything—spoons, crankbaits (topwater and subsurface), metal spinners, and spinners. But they hit on the old lures (metal spoon). Got 2 bites, released one that we got on camera, and the other one bit from the other side so it didn't hook. So two bites total. If I'd been fishing, I think I wouldn't have let it go, but Dad did 😅😅. Even though it was hot and I got sunburned on my arms, turns out pike bite even in the heat + we also got to see them swimming underwater. But after we let the pike go, it was swimming upside down sunbathing, but Dad revived it with the rod and it swam off 😅 Bites and catch were all Dad's though 💐
