what bodies of water do you have around you?

Geographic distribution

Esox lucius is found in freshwater throughout the northern hemisphere, including Russia, Europe and North America. It has also been introduced to lakes in Morocco and is even found in brackish water of the Baltic Sea
Within North America, there are northern pike populations in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Montana, Maryland, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Indiana, Massachusetts, Vermont, Iowa, Northern New Mexico and Arizona, Illinois, eastern New York, New Jersey, Idaho, northern New England, most of Canada, particularly Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Québec (pike are rare in British Columbia and east coast provinces), Alaska, the Ohio Valley, the upper Mississippi River and its tributaries, the Great Lakes Basin and surrounding states, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and parts of Oklahoma. They are also stocked in, or have been introduced to, some western lakes and reservoirs for angling purposes, although this practice often threatens other species of fish such as bass, trout and salmon, causing government agencies to exterminate the pike by poisoning lakes.[1]

That's the funniest comment that I've ever seen. If he wanted to net he wouldn't have to come to marketplace and look for it. If he wanted to Google he can probably have figured out as well...spammer.

Now, all that aside. I'm looking for a Northern Pike as well!

The state of N J requires Northern Pike to be 24" to be legal.


Those of you encouraging this person to break laws are doing a rather piss poor job of representing responsible fish keeping.
