Bart Piet caught and released a 41-inch northern pike estimated at 14-20 pounds on Oct. 23 near Buckingham Fountain.
“I was using a Medussa lure,” Piet emailed. “It had followed up and missed at shore, then smoked it on the next cast. Some tourists from France had helped me net it and took the picture. As they were walking by, I yelled ‘Help!’ The fish came unhooked in the net and swam away with little help.
