I'm not much of a fish eater anyway, and our favorite lake for pike is in Alberta, and is catch and release only. The fishing is phenomenal so I can't argue the fine points of the strategy.By provincial law its all single barbless hook and we use ultra light tackle to make it even more fun. Headed back up in August. Cant wait!
