Trout Rule - Pike Drool?

What the hell are these people thinking? Piscatorial genocide?

All they have to do is offer free fishing licenses to folks from
fly-over country - like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, N/S Dakota,
Michigan and a free trip to the lake for a week's fishing.

I guarentee you there won't be any pike left. :)

My Dad (God bless his soul) caught a monster Northern Pike when fishing on
Lake Erie and had it mounted. It was a good size fish and had plenty of
sharp teeth. As a kid I was always impressed when looking at the mount.

He probably caught that fish sometime in the 1950's and always talked
about the fight in the fish, especially when landing it (from a 16 foot
row boat).

I have caught muskie (Chautaugua Lake) and walleye and hope to some day
land a northern pike!

FANTASTIC!
