Jimski2, More power to you! with your wisdom & knowledge & the mention of catching blue pike how long have you been around? lol You always have great info. I can remember my father coming home at 7 am while I was waiting for the school bus & telling me to get the fish out of the trunk which I would do & there would be a burlap feed bag full of blue pike in it, I guess every one did that back then, its really too bad. He also said the lake behind the steel plant looked like a small city with all the boats & lanterns out there at night. I recently caught what looked like a blue pike on a Canadian fishing trip in June.
