Caught 'em. Threw them out on the bank of
the beaver ponds I was fishing. Continuous snatch
and jerk reeling them in. Then try to straighten
the spinnerbait out where it would run straight.
Caught one one day that was probably 1+or - the
state record. Forgot what the deal was. Grab 'em
on both eyeballs to get them off the hook.

Used to catch them all the time at a old pond full of cypress trees in Packers Bend. We used to eat them and I remember them being very good if you watched out for the bones. They do have some toofusis so don't lip one like you do a bass. LOL!

I’ve only caught the one and i released it. For those that eat’em, are they as slimy as a northern pike? I've never noticed them being slimy, but I've never caught a northern pike and couldn't compare them. I’ve been eating them for a very long time. They do not seem too slimy and they are delicious. We actually target them here in NW Florida in the winter time. Live shiners are best but any chrome colored bait works as well.

I caught one when I was a kid in a side of Hwy 11 pond down in Boligee some 45+ years ago. I had it mounted by Archie Phillips. If I recall it was about 16 inches long and full of teefies.

We tried them when i lived in colorado. My neighbor even took his son and I to a lake way east of colorado springs strictly to catch pike. Didn't care much for them. Have made 2 trips to the boundary waters in minnesota and the blasted things are a nuisance. First trip up there, one cost me my dad's ancient "100 percenter"...his prized creek chub darter.
The harder I practice, the luckier I get.
