There's also a nice pike in a search for "Nathan Lafleur pike", Devils Lake, ND. I used to know Nathan's father, my wife's sister-in-law is Nathan's aunt. His fish was caught from shore with a 10wt fly rod. Hand landed, because the net was too small.
northerns are good eaters too
as long as you can get by the y bones
I have been cutting around them for years
when my father was still alive my wife and I would take him
fresh caught ice pike and have a fish fry ,man I miss those days
Hit em'hard
hit em'often
Sometimes I even eat "red meat"

I found a way published in an old magazine on how to fillet them to get the bones out. You get 5 fillets. One along the back bone. One on each side from the top of the Y bone to the spine. And one on each side under the Y bone going in towards the bottom of the spine. Then you can skin each fillet. It takes a few but very easy especially on bigger Northerns.
How bout that....I found a youtube video on how to do it:...Actually I used to do it differently...Used to get the meat from inbetween the y bones. This guy's way is way better than mine.

I cast spinner jigs with a Do-Its mold and use pure soft lead but that's only because I have a dedicated Lee 10lb pot with roof sheeting lead in it just for sinkers and jigs. I don't think the fish care what you use as long as the "bite" is on. I tip mine with a minnow. You never know what will climb on it, that's the fun part.
IT AINT what ya shoot--its how ya shoot it. NONE of us are as smart as ALL of us!
Oh yah and the cheek meat is tasty, walleyes too!
