They aren't anything new.  I caught one when I was about 12 years old(1982) by the town of Gifford.  I was just fishing from shore.   Talk about a fun fish

Lots of bones in pike and lots of slime. Look on YouTube for how to Ybone them.

Best lure I used was a Johnson silver minnow with a double mister twister tail. Weedless and very effective.

We used to slay Northerns back east with weedless daredevils in the lilypads.

We used to catch these by the truck loads in WI.  If you know what you're doing, you can easily fillet them with no bones.  Getting rid of he Y-bones is the secret.  They are fabulous pickled.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

At a public meeting in Jackson a while back, a guy asked the Wyoming Game and Fish to put the district wildlife bio in charge of mosquitos, since he'd done such a good job on the deer and elk.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

THOSE are some FAT slimers, I grew up in Minnesota and they would attack any lures threw at them.  I have had them jump in the boat just following your lure and as you picked up out of the water they followed.  All the old timers would pickle them, great fighters that's for sure

I am looking where to collect the bounty...there is a 50 fish ( $500 ) limit. I filleted it and lots of weird bones. The cats loved the scraps better than walleye. Hope to get more in the next few days.
Flyer says $590 limit, is that a misprint?
