I'll clarify that and say I've never caught any at night "on purpose" though. It was always while tip-up fishing the shallows after dark for walleyes. Of course, right at dusk, we always slayed the pike, while waiting for the walleyes to start up. At times, we'd not bait-up until it actually got dark , as we'd get so many pike hits right at dusk. But I recall catching pike upto 10-12 pounds at like 11:30 PM or midnight before. One year I got a 13 pound pike at 2:00 AM, during the (Champlain) Islands Derby, while trying for walleyes up in Swanton. It took 2nd place for pike that year! Talk about accidental success! -Jim
