Howdy!!! :) Awesome!! One time when I lived in Michigan wayyyy back, I lived on "Big Star Lake" near the western side of Michigan... Fishing with my dad, I caught a huge 34 inch Norther Pike!! Only using a number 10 hook and a NightCrawler!!! AMAZING!!! Slowly reeled it in..... fighting all the way! Finally got it in the net! :)
We took it back to our cabin on the shore, and cleaned it and cut it into steaks and pan-seared it in butter, lemon salt and pepper!! IT WAS SOOOoooooo good!!!!!!!! To this day, the BEST pan-seared fish I ever had!!!!! Caught many Bass, Perch, Bluegill...... :) Bluegill were tasty also!!
