I love this thread .....
A couple things - first of all, most guys, at least from I've read, or contributed to on this forum say that pike numbers and health are on the decline and that larger and healthier (bigger) pike have also declined within that lake.
Nobody said, at least not in any threads I've read, or recall, that they were "all dead".
How is it, that most of us would catch a few 5-7 lbers everyday, often catch one or two 8-12lbers in a day and occasionally (on average every second trip or so) catch a fish or two in the mid to high teens and now you can't do that.
We used to catch 100 pike a day - now you can't do that.
Is it because you need to be a expert master angler superstar? or is it because the rest of us are not as good as we used to be? or is the fishery, legitimately, in decline?
Congratulations on your big pike.
Let's see the picture.
