depends, the real trick is to fillet them right, (i use the 5 fillet method just google search it) but then you have 5 real nice fillets,

but keep in mind you want pike in the 3-4 pound range (or that is what we keep) big ones are really nasty and there good breeders,

next for cooking am going to just say this but treat it like any white fleshed fish, we mostly cook it the same way as walleye or perch and you really can not tell the difference.

also you want them in clean or cool water, spring and winter are in my opinion the best time to eat them, (how ever i camp far up north where the water is clear and cool year round so there not bad during the summer months as well)

Yep, Northern Pike! I don't own a boat, but supposedly there's a lot that breed on the cement of the Gavin's Point Dam. The only way to reach it is by boat though, so I've honestly never seen any in the Missouri River by the dam. Theres a little lake by Royal, NE, that's where I caught the Pike. A guy that owns the tackle shop there has some massive ones mounted on display he caught there.

Bears would make fishing an extreme sport :gig the worst thing you could run into here is a giant snapping turtle, one took off with my good lure. There was one time a mink walked by, that's about as dangerous as it gets while fishing here :lol:
Do you have to carry around pepper spray? Or do you just hope no bears appear?

I live in montana so the water is plenty clean and the fish we kept were 2 17 inchers and a 26 incher so plenty small enough for eating we filet them beboned and skinned them and they were nasty.
