What? You like to stir the pot? Nothin' like a NY guy posting about pike on the Maine board... Muhahahahahaha!
You have been given good advice. Pike are an invasive species in Maine waters that are here because of illegal introduction. The most effective way to slow their spread is to kill every one you catch. Anyone who catches and releases a live pike is almost like the person who brought them into our waters. The same is true with crappie and muskellunge. All three have harmed native fish populations.
You sound just as ignorant as the people that introduced invasive species 30-40 years ago.
Release or eat
If you like salmon and brook trout better then improve the water quality and management of lakes where they can survive and don’t target them during ice season. You got to be kidding. The best way to improve management would be to get rid of the illegally introduced evasive Pike. So tired of hearing the “well they’re here now, so there’s nothing we can do about it.” What if someone dumped a bunch of poison in a Lake and killed all the fish.... oh well, it’s done, nothing we can do about it. Kill every Pike!!!
