Thanks, In the last 3 winters, including this year, I haven't seen a Pike under 10#... 5 over 10#... The 2 fish I mentioned above were fish my girl friend and I caught in 1/12/2010 on the same day... It may be that Pike fishing, here in RI, is coming to an end very soon... Pike rarely reproduce in our waters, if the stocking program is not restored, this fishery will be lost to RI fisherman. A few friends are looking to partition the DEM to restore the stocking program...ThanksSteve
I caught one last year that was 5lbs. 2012 2 fish<5. 2011 1 fish < 5lbs. It's hard catching those little ones on big dead bait
I've seen 2 and 4 pounders pull thru the ice recently. These particular fish must have been reproduced.So, in some cases it is occurring.
Out of curiosity, what lake were they caught from?
c&r for sure!!!
Well, catch and release, should go without saying... But I guess, for some, it's not a bad idea to mention it. Good post.
