100 % catch, photo and release ! I did have a great spot about 8 years ago near a bridge with shore access that I used to catch 5 pike a day, every time out. I would never fish the spot from the kayak when there were shore fisherman there (didn't want them to see what I was catching).

One day I was there in the kayak and saw 5 tails of 30" pike sticking out of a 5 gal. bucket. I went over, landed the kayak and told them he was OVER the limit.........He didn't understand what I was saying. I made a call to F&G and I am not sure if they ever followed up, but "they" were there catching and keeping for weeks to come.

Needless to say, that spot is not even worth trying for pike even though this was years ago.

Glad I have a kayak and fish MILES from any shore access spots.
