Catch and Release Fishing

Use artificial lures with single or barbless hooks because fish are more likely to gobble live bait and the hook can become lodge in the throat, making it harder to remove and causing unnecessary damage. Use a fishing line with a sufficient test and set the hook quickly to avoid a long battle, which will cause stress and diminish either the taste or its chances of survival.

If possible catch the fish by hand. If the Pike is large, it is okay to hold the fish gently around the girth and just in front of the tail for a better grip.

If you are planning to keep the Pike to eat, you can place them in a basket, on a stringer, or in a live well. If you’re planning to release the fish, it is best to do so right away. Gently place the fish in the water and make sure the gills are moving (gently move the fish back and forth if necessary) before releasing.

If you must keep the fish before releasing, store it in a live well, rather than on a stringer or in a basket because the water temperature is warmer near the lake surface. Maintain proper aeration in the live well and add a small amount of ice.

Selective Harvest of Northern Pike

Large Northern Pike at the Boat - by Little Moose Lodge

Just as in people, genetics play a role in how large you will end up growing.  Generally, if your parents are tall, you will likely be tall as well. 

Since larger Northern Pike are superior spawners and tend to produce larger offspring, they are very important to the future of the lake’s fishery, and it’s best to select a few medium-sized Pike for your shore lunch fry-up, while releasing the larger fish.

Keeping the fish alive is important whether you are catching and releasing, or preserving the freshness for consumption. If it is caught in the deep water (30 feet or more), bring the Northern up to surface slowly because as a warm water fish, it doesn’t have pressure equalizing ability and needs to adjust to the changing pressure.
