This is me joining the time-honoured tradition of men posing with animals they recently killed. At best guess, my pike (note the arrogance of the possessive) weighed somewhere between 25 and 30 pounds. Known locally as jackfish, pike contain an additionional set of bones in the main part of their body, and aren't generally eaten by local Aboriginals. This is likely because an accidentally ingested pike bone could, and probably did, result in an untimely end or two. However, we ate this lovely lady, and it was good.
