Dan Bernstein caught and released a thick 32-inch northern pike Thursday afternoon at Northerly Island after his midday shift as a host on The Score. Things came unhooked after that.
“Had to be a female full of eggs with that girth,” he messaged on X.
Typically in our area, northern pike spawn around ice-out.
On Thursday, Bernstein had messaged that he caught the pike on a Rattlin’ Rap lure, “Released fine, despite the blood from the back of the mouth. Swam off like a shot.”
Ah, X. Any time Bernstein posts his fishing adventures on X, he receives some bizarre responses. This time he went after one critic so hard he threatened to dox him.
By Monday, Bernstein was not on the air for his usual shift.
