Looks good I’d say you’ve done that before, grin, I’d stick with the catfish I’ve never cared for northern pike they’re either slimy or full of bones, in my experience.

Do you eat your pike raw,lol.Not as good as Pickerel,but some of the older people prefer Pike.
I skin them and fillet boneless-pretty good eating out of cold water,I dont care for fish out of warm water.
My favorite fish is smoked sturgeon-they have no bones.
Never tried catfish except the brown bullheads..

Around here they’re get as bad as bass for slime, if we go north we fish for walleye or perch.

The red flesh pike that feed on the freshwater shrimp are excellent eating.

After they’re cooked the meat has a slimy texture instead of a dryer flakey texture.
