Anything over 6 lb goes back for pike and over 3 lb for walleye. Leaving carcasses on the ice is not only unsightly, they promote unhealthy benthic zones in the water body if they manage to get into the water, potentially making a lake toxic.Another thing on the large pike. There is a limit of one oversized 75cm. pike per person, so if they are keeping more than one each, they are poachers.JMO.
