Someone here had a post awhile ago with a Millstone Pike; I came across it during a search.

I remember that but I think that guy had his rivers confused cause he caught like 7 or 8 in one day and all had some size to them. I've fished pretty much every part of the millstone looking for pike and have never come up with anything. Tons and tons and pickerel but no pike

Thanks everybody for the comments! I've personally only witnessed one Pike, about 20in in length come out of the Millstone. Gatto and I probably put in 100 hours easily on that river last year without ONE. We got countless pickerel and some Bass, but no pike. My guess is that the river loses a lot of fish to the now annual heavy flooding that occurs. I heard a story after Hurricane Irene a few years ago that somebody found a big pike dead in a car after the rivers receded. There are pike in the river somewhere, but its nowhere near the fishery the Passaic is. If it were I wouldn't be driving 45 min to go to the Passaic all the time lol.
