| MN Residents, please take a few minutes to help keep our Pike slot lakes intact, this legislation will turn back 30+ years of your license dollars investment in Pike management and handcuff the MN DNR's ability to manage Pike; just click the take action button at the bottom.
Thank You

| Thanks Gator, many people don't understand the value of quality Pike to the fishery; especially when it comes to stocking our most expensive fish, the advanced Walleye fingerling's. In many cases we are feeding hammer handle Pike our lic. dollars without much consideration because the DNR is locked at 125 lakes Max. Now with this bill to reduce it to 60 the DNR will have no options but to let it go.
We need our DNR to be able to protect and regulate our fishery, the claims that they have over-managed the fishery are ridicules. currently there are 3,351 Northern pike waters and 111 under special or experimental regulation.
Pike are an important segue fish for young anglers as well.

Location: Mn | It is great to see Pike get the respect they also deserve as a top(or next to the top) predator because this state and some others have true trophy potential and when they dont cohabitate I'm comfortable chasing them with muskie tackle untill that game begins.Over the last 5 years I have 7 fish over 41" in Mn in this early season before they move deeper. |

Location: Maple Grove, MN | Pike were my first love and I have been fishing for them since I was 5. Catching big Pike is one reason I use spinner baits so much. I have found that the largest Pike often hang out with the largest Muskies and catching both is a lot of fun.
In my book, a 40 inch Pike gives a great fight and are every bit as much a game fish as a Muskie. |

Mark Daytins response was just a atuomated version that everyone must get that sends something to him.
Nice to see someone take the time to respond in person verses a automated response. At least I think it is not automated

Location: Minneapolis | Is there a way to edit the message before it is sent? I would like to correct a few typos and add a more specific comment about Cass Lake.
Thanks for all your efforts on this. |

| Pike is one of my favorite fish to target! And was my favorite until I caught the musky bug... Its great to see that others feel the same way and are taking actaion.
Muddy41 -- I sent the email out yesterday and got the same response from Rick, I too thought it was a personal message.... Anyhow it is nice to know that it is more personalaized then a simple 'thank you for writing' you get from most of the reps.
