Pike's Rock-Pile Fish Were Bigger Than He'd Thought Wednesday, August 4, 2021 Photo: MLF/Charles Waldorf Cody Pike far exceeded his objective in the final regular-season MLF Pro Circuit event of 2021 at the St. Lawrence River. By John Johnson BassFan Senior Editor Cody Pike wasn't overly thrilled with any of his first four outings as an MLF Pro Circuit competitor. The fifth one was pretty decent, and then the regular-season finale was spectacular. The 28-year-old rookie from Virginia triumphed in last week's derby at the St. Lawrence River with a four-day total of 82-12. Starting the final day with a 6 3/4-pound deficit, he caught a 22-03 sack that was enough to give him the win when previous leader Joey Cifuentes managed just 12-05.
