Northern Pike: A**holes of the Fishing World

Bob Wire in New West brilliantly takes aim at Montana's invasive pike, or as Wire refers to them, the Rahm Emanuel of the Sea. There are now established Pike populations in many of the watersheds of Western Montana and the outlook for containment is grim..... a laugh out loud must read.

There is some hope, if Montana fishermen are willing to take some steps in the right direction. In some states, like Maine and California, where the northern pike is not native, fishermen are required to remove the heads of any pike they catch. I say let’s take it a step further, and put those heads on a small stake at the edge of the water, as a warning to other pike.

Trout are the moneymaker and thus will always get the nod. Montana is dependent on all of the money that these fish represent. Pike are seen as a threat to a select fews way of life. For the last thirty plus years I have seen fisheries destroyed by several things. Over harvest by anglers is the primary limiting factor and the underlying cause to every fishery crash in Montana waters.

So for all of you that want to kill pike, remember this......trout are very easy to catch and the more popular they become, the faster they are removed from your local waters. You have sensationalized trout to legendary status and let the whole world know where they are and how you are an expert at showing anyone who will pay you how to catch them.

PS take a look at how much it will cost you to go to Canada to catch some of the biggest Northern Pike....I think all of you trout bums with your "higher than thou" attitudes are charging way to little for your little float trips with a few "little" trout included with the $35.00 lunch.

And to think that most of you are also "higher educated" yet know so little about your moneymaker. Try and find a "native" rainbow or brown trout fishery in Montana and name it here in these posts. I will give you a hint......there is not one single rainbow or brown trout that is not an outsider to the state.

If this is the standard for "putting heads on poles" then there should be a shit ton more trout heads along the banks of the Clark Fork!!!
