An interesting read and a site that we should all pay a bit of attention to.
Many of my staff that work in or around water have the training.
Who wants a 12lb bass when a 3lb ladyfish out fights it, lol.
I do !
Its the same thing when you guys drive all over Ontario and the U.S. to chase steelhead when you can catch bigger fish in the east tribs

My condolences Mike. He has left you with a special gift that many will never get from their grandparents
My he always be with you on your fishing trips. When the fishing gets tough, ask yourself " what would Grandpa do ? "
Nice pike Cliff !
Im glad that you clarified the length and weight of the pike. Most people tend to think that a pike of that length is well over 20 pounds. 16 pounds seems pretty accurate to me
Well done boys !
