I don't know how the pike got in there they are few and far between, I have caught them from 12 inches to one that was about 20 lbs. A monster I can't find that pic. If I do I will post it.
That's just as crazy with the Pike. Monksville Reservoir, which is above it, only has Muskie and Walleye, no Pike or Hybrids. I'd imagine some Muskie and Walleye have gone over the dam into Wanaque Reservoir too. The thought of Hybrid Stripers, Muskie, Pike, Walleye, as well as huge Bass all in one spot is mind boggling lol.
