The day of the Pike

From now on, 31 July will be remembered in the Luca calendar as the Day of the Pike.
To say that he was pleased with himself would be a criminal understatement.

It's a good thing that he caught this close relative of the barracuda (according to Luca anyway) at the 3rd attempt.
Because judging by the streams of tears when he missed it the first time, I assumed that he would not be very philosophical about coming back empty handed...

Rejects of the day:
Tinkering-free Donegal green
Mono reeds
Grumpiness in the spotlight
