Whats the state record now ?
This post deserves a bump..maybe the mod could even make it sticky! This is a big deal up in Maine, and regardless of what you win(or don't win) The cause speaks for itself!!!Lots of good pike waters up there...and Maine folk hate northerns and want to see em all dead..sure you could tease some guys on the Maine board for a little tip!
Fun to catch, survive on their own, no stocking, they get really big. in the 30 inch range if you know how to fillet them there is no better tasting fish..... yet people want them exterminated. I guess some people hate them but I spend most of my time looking for them and certainly am hooked on catching them. It's a shame to waste all those pike
Exactly what i am saying CJ!!!!!!
The State of Maine requests as follows: "Anglers are strongly encouraged to harvest all northern pike and muskellunge and not release them back to the water alive." Northern pike are NOT native to the state, and are an invasive species. They're actually trying to do the RIGHT thing!
No vtpike, I should have kept MY mouth shut!!! woodab17, It's just a fishing derby and benefit 300 miles away that was slammed from post 1. I could post a justified response to every line of your scolding, but I'm going to just walk away and hopefully let this thread die. I do however obey the laws of my government and the government of whatever land I may visit, and my loyalties to such should never be questioned on a silly ice fishing website.
