Reread what you wrote. To me, it looks like you are a big part of the loss of a pike fishery. Reminds me of the old farts I grew up with. "We used to haul home gunny bags full of pike. Fishing sure isn't what it used to be....."

5 to 10% mortality rate....really? Do you club your fish before you release them? Very made up stat. Rav fishes a lot, I would guess viewing His photos etc. that His released mortality rate is less 0.5%. On pike, likely half that. At least try to argue with facts.
