These Lures Call In Fish

So I picked up this Stripper lure from Taber’s in Bemidji, MN. I was in about 12 feet of water jigging aggressively to try to catch the eyes of some fish in the area. Before long, I looked down the hole and saw a huge Pike swim by. I jigged aggressively one more time to call it back and on the fall I felt the tug, I set the hook, and felt one good head shake and my line was snapped. I probably missed my personal best Pike. A work of advise, use a leader cause these lures call in fish.
