Pike fishing after work yesterday

Recommended Posts

Went pike fishing yesterday after work. I speared two, jigged for four and got one on a tip up.

 

Lots of fun.

The biggest is 7 pounds and the smallest we kept was 2 1/2 pounds.

I've always heard that Pike were boney. I know their relative, Pickerel, are, with little "y" bones.

 

How do you process those Pike for eating, Mark?

Hi Mike, Some people don't like them because they're bony, just like their cousins. I can fillet the "Y" bones out but I think it wastes a lot of meat in the "Y" of the bone. I prefer to just leave bones in and pick them out while I eat. For people that don't like the bones I fillet them out or give them the back half. There's no bones in the back half. We like to pickle them too.
