Nice! Lack of waterfront homes says you're at one of our many state, county or metro parks. Nice pike. Did ya eat it, or toss it back? We have some monsters, can be a nice fight. |

Nice! We used to eat walleye and lake perch, but always threw pike back, thinking they weren't tasty. Then I had some at a fish fry. Pretty tasty fish. Lots of little bones to deal with, but you can deal with those if you cut them into nuggets and fry them. |
It's so annoying trying to have a Socratic argument with a psychopath.

Me neither, learn something new about my state from a guy from Nevada! Thanks OP. |
I've been battling some internal demons this week, so far I'm 0 for 6.

She is next to a bridge. Under and just east of that bridge is where we found the walleye. The boat ramp is just west of the bridge on the south side. |
| To check a rod/reel with Spirit Airlines would it cost roughly $200 round trip. That's how they get you with the cheap tickets. So I just bought a Lews KVD Med/Fast and a SLX DC at Bass Pro in Auburn Hills. It made a good birthday present for someone local on my way to the airport. |

Due to size limits I've never eaten one that was larger than 30", so I don't know if the texture of the meat is any different if you get into the 40+ range. For cooking/shore lunch I like to mix Louisiana fish seasoning with Andy's Cajun seasoning and then fry it up. Louisiana Andy's Cajun

If you have a home base around, they are good cleaned and pickled at least 2 weeks before eating. The acidity of the vinegar will dissolve most of the smaller bones. Pick the bigger ones out. Here is one of many recipes:  PICKLED NORTHERN PIKE |

Nice! Looks like a nice, quiet spot. Just south of Detroit, about 45 minutes, is the town of Luna Pier. In the fall, the walleye will start coming into the shallows in the evening, feeding on the shad. So you can cast for them right from the pier. I’ve seen guys limit out in 30 minutes, but also not seen a fish caught, so it can be spotty. But I’ve caught a few this year that are 27” and above. |
