Topwater explosions all day fishing the upper Tippecanoe river in north Indiana. I really wanted to catch my first ever northern pike and was able to get it done today. Most were on the berkley choppo 90 and whopper plopper.

Muskies, chain pickerel, pike around me is also smallmouth waters. Great episode. Must be pockets of cooler water for largemouth. Best time to fish around me is the moment it melts in early spring. Using live minnows it’s a killer just give them a chance to swallow it. Do this the moment the creek melts even along the shallow banks. I catch huge smallmouths that time of the year. 20/22 inches are commonplace. Again only that time of the year. After that the muskies and the rock bass take over.

Man thats GREAT video. Never knew they had them fish in Indiana. I'm from Cincinnati Ohio. Going have to try get up there for some pike. I never caught one of them either. Be good find for my channel as well. I got a fish on my last week's video that I have never caught until then. It was a lot of fun getting that fish for myself. Always up for a new target species and the adventure it takes to get them. Thank you for bringing us along sir.

Always make sure to use a leader no lighter than 40lb fluorocarbon and no shorter than 9” long. Preferably use a 9-12 inch steel leader or substitute for 80lb fluorocarbon. If you don’t do this, there’s a pretty high chance they’ll bite through your line. If you already are doing so, then I apologize. It’s just hard to tell over video. Also for lures other good choices are paddletails, lunker city slug-gos, spoons, inline spinners, chatterbaits, lipless and diving crankbaits, jerkbaits, walking baits, poppers, buzz baits, and buck tail jigs.

Indiana has some spots that rival world class smallmouth and pike fisheries. I’ve seen some giants pulled out of Indiana in small spots like that. My PB smallie in Indiana was in a stream only 6 foot or so at the deepest and could flip and pitch all the way across it sideways.
