I guess I need to add a fishing trip to the north and eating Pike to my bucket list. I have never had one, but walleye are my favorite fish to eat. I can't imagine that they are better, but would like to be proven wrong.
rps Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Everything cooked in a cast iron pan beside the lake tastes good.
Gavin Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Pike is not hard. 4 more cuts per fish to toss the Y bones. Eater pike is 18”-24”. Bigger than that, toss them back.
Gavin Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Needs to be fried fresh within hours of when you caught it. Frozen , 3 day old , or fresh market fish do not taste as good.
Smithvillesteve Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 I've caught a handful of 28" ers up in Canada. A couple of years ago my son caught a 29 3/4 " eye while fishing for lake trout in 50 fow. We measured that beauty 3 times to try and get to 30 inches. Lodge owner gives a "30 inch club" hat to anybody catching one. We couldnt stretch her out that far. So close!! I havent caught very many walleyes at Stockton over 20 inches. Caught a nice 21 incher there a couple of weeks ago. I released her. I cant bring myself to put a knife through a walleye bigger than 20 inches. Just my own personal beliefs. I will keep those good eating 15-16 inchers. Old dog 417 and wtr dogs 2
MNtransplant Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 2010 - 31.5" thru the ice in Minnesota on 4 lb line. Weighed an even 13lbs. I'll likely never beat it! Old dog 417, olfishead, Johnsfolly and 6 others 9

Members Hawgeye Posted June 13, 2020 Members Posted June 13, 2020 Couple ounces shy of 10-pounder Lindy rigging a leech on Devils Lake North Dakota, a 27.5" wally bottom bouncing crawler on a southeast KS lake, and biggest at Stockton was a 26+" on BB rig & crawler on lil Sac side that I released to grow up.

Nice mount of that walleye!
