kickingfrog Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Still haven't found the walleyes but the pike have been fooled by husky jerks. No brutes yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted May 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Cast iron pan on the BBQ side burner and canola oil. Grilled asparagus on the side. No risotto this time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Do you fillet them the 5 fillet method? I love eating those smaller firm pike. I prefer mine in a boil though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted May 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 My brother cleaned them while I was getting the kids. I've only cleaned a handful of pike and the last one would have been over 20 years ago. Back when we we're younger the fish cleaning was done by the youngest. Jim was the last grandchild so he ended up with the most experience. Now it's self fulfilling: He's better then me, he cleans them. I don't clean them, I don't get better. We've got our system down. I get the boat buttoned up, refill the gas, retie the rods, dry out the gear etc. and prep/cook the food... open the beer. With my kids loving fish and fishing I'll have get some practice soon... at least until Ryan's uncle teaches him how to clean fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I just filleted a couple last weekend using the 5 fillet method, it works the best I think. Mmmmmmmm, spring pike. Now I want more and cant get back up north for 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Yup, the 5 fillet method works great, especially on 15lbrs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yeah I really like the 7-10 pounders for table fare. I'm going to try pickling some pike meat the next time I take a couple home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
