i don't even know what to say, why would somebody even do this, i bet hes never caught a fish that fought as good as that pike did either. but just cause it is "interfering" with his trout fishing he has to kill it. that makes me sick

If you lived in Colorado you would be vomiting an awful lot. No bag limit statewide on pike and in the wonderful pike fishery on the Yampa River, where one could once catch 20 pike from 25 - 40" per day apiece, and still about 6 apiece in that size this day, the state division of wildlife, in tandem with the US FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, are simply shocking and killing hundreds of pike per year on the river and leaving them to rot, along with any smallmouth bass they get too.

Found a lake here in Colorado that still has tons of pike. In two days I caught 43 pike, though mostly small, I did hook one well over 40." In another trip, I caught 16 at this lake. Most fish caught on a 1/4 cavitron buzzbait with a black skirt.
Still we ran into one trout fly fishermen who told us that the CDOW doesn't want people to let pike go and wants people to keep them all to "protect the trout". We told him to go screw off. The lake also has great fishing for trout while still having craploads of pike. And guess what? The pike in this lake feed primarly on CRAWFISH. With the huge crawfish population, the pike hang in the weedy coves and stuff themselves on the craws, eating very few small trout.
