I can remember catching Blue Pike in lake Erie when I was a young man . The last one I caught was in 1954 off of Edgewater . We would fish for them at night ,hang a lantern over the side to attract the minnows and fish just under the minnows 5 to 10 feet down, They were smaller than the walleyes a big one was 18" or so . We ate more of them and perch than walleyes and it was long ago so I cant tell you about the taiste . But you could get a Blue Pike Special on Fridays for $2.00 .
