Location: So. Illinois | "The pike -- which are native to the Midwest and Canada -- typically grow to weigh about 55 pounds."
Yea, right -- I'd like to meet a typical 55lbs Northern |

| I saw that also 55 # is typical. I'll catch all the atypical 20 to 303ers they have what a joke |

Location: Sandusky, OH | It isn't about the trout in the reservoir, it's about the salmon in the connected Sacramento River system. If the pike make it out, they could really impact the struggling salmon population there, and that would be an ecological disaster. Those northerns would love the Delta.
