yeh now that I look back on it I probably should have set him free, I didn't have a camera and I wanted my wife to see. plus with my dinky goldeye net it was pretty tough to get a handle on it. However the more I think about it, the more I wish I had set it free and had the pics in my head Oh well I'm sure I'll catch many more and I'll set them free
All that being said, I bet he tasted really good with a little lemon and butter!
That's awesome. Hey nothing wrong with keepin the odd fish for dinner. With pike and this is just my opinion I really enjoy eating them but only out of colder waters and in the 4-8lb range. But lime you said if it was pretty wrapped up and hooked deep. Then it may not have survived anyways so Bon apetite!!
Great Fish! Maybe the weight does sound light. I caught a 40.5" pike and he was 20lbs 8oz. But maybe a river fish stays a little on the lighter side because they are constantly swimming the current. Anyways sweet fish and probably good eats. Congrats
