ive heard many different methods of handling a small pike or pickeral once landed. Ive heard to hold it behing its gill plates, to hold it by the eye sockets(whichi is definitly not right), and holding it under its gill plates. In your opinion what do you think the best way tohold a small pike/ pickeral?
