Most of these would be record fish
Some good eating. I normally don't vote.... but this one for me is difficult muskie and wahoo are lifetime bucket fish for me.

World record pike is 55#, so I’ll take the pike and the 15 minutes of fame that come with it.

With a bit of technique on the fillet table a northern pike is as good of a freshwater fish as you can find. Anyone who tells you otherwise ate pin bones or is wrong. Musky are in the same ballpark but that's the ultimate game fish around here. You'd never catch anyone eating one.
My only problem with wahoo is that the BOAT catches wahoo, not the angler. I mean yeah, you have to reel them in and all, but it is all about the setup. We caught a couple of them high speed trolling out to the bottom grounds in Hatteras. No complaints though... they are tasty.

Reports of northern and muskie reaching 60 plus inches and almost 80 pounds always make me want one. Any who knows what the size of the salt water species mother ocean keeps within.

I wish I knew the trick for filleting pickerel (and pike) back when I was growing up in PA.
catching nice size pickerel was usually very easy.
Some of the best flaky white fish out there but the little Y bones were a pain in the butt to pick out!

No complaints though... they are tasty. Buddy of mine, got a 62 lb on a freeline while anchored had to run all over the boat over and under the anchor line. Back and forth on mono leader. Hell of a fish, Line popped as they sunk the gaff in it. I love me some wahoo steaks. |
