I think pike caught from cold clear water eats just as good as any walleye or perch. Just have to deal with the y bones. I have yet to catch the elusive 50 inch pike. Around a doz over 40 inches and that is in over 40 years fishing for them. Biggest was 47inces. All caught up in N Canada Thanks for sharing Last edited by ribka; 04/13/15.

bruinruin Campfire Ranger Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 19,504 Tip of the Mitten	The lake at the end of my road is loaded with pike, some of them pretty darned big, though I've yet to catch anything of any size. For my birthday last week my ever-loving wife gave me what I hope will be a big help to pinpointing the edges of weed beds and locating and being able to repeatedly find hot spots. One of these- Sonar, down scan and GPS with Navionics maps already installed. It's going to be a big help in trolling close to weed beds without actually getting tangled up in them. Now, if only the ice would go off the lake.... 4 out of 5 Great Lakes prefer Michigan.

I would encourage returning the ones of considerable size from whence they came and eating the smaller ones, but that is strictly a personal choice.
