most of the lakes in maine are becomming pike factories with all those juicy trout too eat!
Thats good! I can't see killing a fish being sportsmanlike, but...I have never had my waters overrun with an invasive species such as the pike.
If I am a die-hard trout-fisherman, I might be upset with the Pike too...
IDK though...I like fish. I don't like not using what I kill.
There are some good pike waters in NY from what I hear....never really gotten into them much.
