Oh man, why are they complainin'? Pike are good eatin' fish! I like them between 30 and 35 inches for keepin'. Just have learn how to remove the "y" bones from the fillets.
Plus if you're haulin' up 20+ pounders, that's a blast! |

Perhaps because there not native and are frowned upon as being an invasive species. But then again some folks think some folks don't belong in Main either . |

Yeah...why are you complaining (well unless you're a perch angler)! Pike are fun to catch and taste awesome, too! |

Brook trout and white fish are popular with the natives. Pike and even Lake trout are considered trash fish. And there ain't no cricks in Maine neither I learned that from the natives as well. There are brooks and rivers |

pike are one of the best fighting fish in fresh water.. just ask anyone whos caught one. i personally think bass are garbage fish. any kid with a pole can catch a bass, their like sunfish... but a day plucking pike out of deep water what a treat. i'am heading to maine to take care of that problem lmao

Yes, I have seen four year olds catch bass with princess fishing rods, but it takes special knowledge and skill to be successful at bass fishing.
TIGHT LINES! |

fisherfanatic, you know what's up. Bass fishing is an art, and pike are absolutely awesome fighters. |

I can remember in reading articles in outdoor magazines when I was much younger and apparently there were lots of people who though smallmouths were trash fish, they only wanted trouy. |
