To many people are keeping pike in the 10-14 pound range that could be trophy fish in the future. I understand keeping some for the table and some if they are hooked bad but lets not be selfish. LET THEM GROW !
This was a overall disappointing season. Although I ended the season with over a hundred Pike, only one was a taper. She came out of Champlain. It was a fat 41 incher that was taken on a large sucker and a chartruse pikemaster harness. The second biggest one came out of the Dead Sea on a large dead shiner in 4 feet of water. I caught another dozen or so from 36-39 inch mark. I have caught big pike on the Hudson, Mohawk, Lake George, Indian lake, and a few smaller lakes. I try to take at least one big pike on the tipups per season but failed to catch what I would consider a big pike this year. I had a big keeper on the Dead Sea, but lost it after a 25 minute battle. It wrapped me around something just outside of the mouth of Masquito Bay and that was the only real big one that I had on this season. I missed him with the gaff on the second pass to the hole. Then it took a big run and wrapped me up. Champlain was by far the most productive lake for me. Being able to use 15 tipups is a game changer. The price of and availability of large suckers also contributed to me having one of my worst seasons. Another pattern that I have been noticing is that some of my favorite spots to fish are receiving a lot more pressure. To many people are keeping pike in the 10-14 pound range that could be trophy fish in the future. I understand keeping some for the table and some if they are hooked bad but lets not be selfish.
