Title: Pike attacks walleye twice.
Post by: Driller on April 16, 2011, 01:14:11 PM

My Dad and I a couple of years ago in Northern Ontario on a fly in trip.  Tonnes of walleye in this lake, and it's also where I caught my biggest pike ever.  This spot, we found was up on a shelf in about 9 feet of water, and we were catching walleye one after the other.  We'd hook the odd pike, but then this happened.  Very, very cool.

Neat video!  Looks like a lot of fun, never fished Walleye before.

Thanks for sharing the cool vid.  Everytime I see things like this I think "Darwin's Law" at work.

I remember fishing for pike when I was young and they were some mean bunch.
Despite their aggressiveness, however, they never quite seem to have the stamina of a sea run steelhead or salmon when hooked.
But pike, perch and walleye fishing does bring back many fond memories from the past. :)

I hear that walleyes are awesome eating fish and northern pike is tough and not as good eating?
