This happened close to where we are and I have heard about and read about
this several times
Smith Lake is a small ad crowded "mudhole"
Wow! a 29lb pike on a fly rod ( I originally heard 29) lLets go w 30 Wow

I have caught my share smaller ones 6-8 lbs on a fly
Man, are they ugly fish w big teeth!
I I use long needle nose pliers as a hemostat is not as effective or
strong
as a realease and I do cut the barb because I would never eat one of
these?
They are fun and ugly
I caught a lot in Upper Lake Champlain - They were a big ugly mottled
slimy
yellow green monster fish w real big sharp teeth
Great fight even a 2-3 pounder

Hey Fred,

Gut a 4 - 6 lber. "fill" the belly with onions, fresh garlic and hot
peppers, salt, pepper or seasoning that you like. Completely cover in tin
foil and throw it on the propane BBQ. Once cooked, work around the bones,
you won't be disappointed.

You might want to cut the head off before cooking, they are kind of ugly...
