ANN ARBOR MAN GETS BIG PIKE: Emerson R. Shall, 1608 Charlton Ave., is shown with the 17-pound pike he speared Thursday in Base lake in Webster township. After fishing unsuccessfully through the ice in one spot for three hours, Shall moved to a new location and almost immediately speared the big fish, described by Conservation Officer William Corson as probably the largest pike speared in Washtenaw county in several years.
