What a hog.. nice catch man
Jeebus man, don't eat that thing, put it up on the wall...
Nice one...too bad its dead. Keep the small ones for eating
Truth be known... I was talking at length with a fish bio guy who was very good at explaining something i probably won't be as good at.. but basically... Pike that are 25" have already spawned 3-4 times. and they produce more and higher quality eggs than old ones...the old ones are not as nearly as plentiful, so keeping the old ones makes so little difference in the stock count.It's more about the numbers and quality of eggs than the massive size that kees the stock levels healthy.just passing on the words that make sense.-Shackless
Kyle, when you catch a 21 lb fish you may do whatever you want with it. I fish to eat, not just for sport. The thought of just jamming hooks through fish faces for camera pics makes me sick. Ever hear of hook mortality? Regardless opinions are just that, and you're entitled to yours, but I'm with shackless... One old breeder from a lake isn't detrimental to the spawn. Read a book
Will someone please think of the minnows!!!
