I've been gone from e-mail access for most of the last three weeks. Got a little fishing in but not many pics. Here are a couple of walleye a friend caught and a 40 inch pike another friend caught.

Walleye look like good eating, but I think I will pass on eating the pike. That being said, catching the pike would be lots of fun.
Glad to have you back.

Thank you! Good to be back.
I like walleye better but one of the men who tried them for the first time liked pike better. :shrug:
We released a lot of fish but kept enough for a few good pig out fish fries. I learned how to fillet pike and not leave a single bone in the meat.
Welcome home. Sounds like you enjoyed yourself, and put some fish in the boat too :eyebrow:
You should make us a lil video clip of cleaning your pike to make boneless fillets. I still struggle with it but I dont catch many big enough to fillet.
Looks like a good time !
:yoyo: Awesome. i would love to catch a pike!!!

Link below to pretty good video on boneless filleting of pike. Without the talking and showing, after two or three it gets pretty fast. A Cree friend who showed me does a whole pike in a little over a minute. Everybody seems to want to use the point of the knife at first, but it is much quicker, smoother and efficient to mostly use the belly of a fillet knife. I found that a longer blade than I would expect to use worked better than my usual fillet knife.

Wow, what are the odds. I booked marked that video a couple weeks ago when I was digging around on YouTube :wink:
I like to see everyones variance, you learn a little from each person that does it.
Looks like you had a great trip.
