Calling information gleaners. I would like to see some data of stomach contents of larger pike 30+" long that live in a mixed fish community where the pike can be selective as to what they consume. I think most all previous studies deal with small pike less than 24".
The stick, Sargent Jeff and myself will be catching and cleaning Pike next week. They will all be at least 5 pounds (probably larger). They won't be from a pond, but they will be from a diverse fishery where they have many choices on the menu. We will examine the stomach contents and report back.
I am betting the fish they eat will be smaller (relative to body length) than the studies have indicated in those 24" hammer handles.
