caught it on a barbless fly!!!
If they were not such a bitch to clean I'd keep and target them. I have a hard enough time filleting a normal fish let alone those bone filled bastards. As far as taste, they're decent enough to eat.

My grandfather taught me the art of boneless pike fillets when I was just a wee lad. Plus we have a thing for pickled pike. Between those methods, there aren't many northerns that get a pass when we fish...
He sounded like a stand up guy till he said he wanted to see slot limits on pike and eyes:;:stirthepot
I was thinking more like no limit on pike. I doubt it would even make a difference as nobody keeps them except a select few. Let those folks go hog wild.
Lycan the limit on pike is already 5 that changed a few years ago. I personally keep all the pike i can ive cleaned hundreds of them now and fry em up at fish frys and nobody can even tell the difference between them and the walleyes. Make the chunks of fish the same size and no questions are asked
