Done right, those back straps taste like lobster. Yum!May be alone here, but I’d choose eating a river gar over just about anything.

Around here, most people call walleye "pike." Sometimes you'll hear "walleyed pike."

Ive caught em on mepps and panther martins from the bank on burtonThey are family. My problem is hooking em before they swallow the hook ! I can load the boat with smaller ones using live worms. Minnows seem to get the larger ones. Would like to find a artificial something that would catch them consistently ! I got some small rubber prerigged minnow looking thangs I am going to try this afternoon. Any ideas ?
We don't have northern pike here, so the walleyes are called pike. We do have muskies.Where I grew up, Walleye were called Pickerel. Pike were Pike and put up much more of a fight and you needed to use a stainless steel leader to catch the big ones! More fun to catch, but the Walleye/Pickerel were much better eating. Pike have a lot of bones. Muskies were (stinky) monsters, but all are part of the same family and would wear you out.

These were caught, at the mouth of the river where I grew up. 40 miles north of Detroit.

Yeah, I eat them pretty frequently, and like it. It's not like fish at all, really. I've always compared it to gator, also. Blackened gar especially is really tasty.Gar is better than you could imagine if you've never eaten it. It's like better alligator.
