Winnipeg River - Northern Pike

it really depends on when in the season you catch them, if it's early on and the water is cooler, then yes, I've found that later on when the water gets warmer, they can taste a bit foul.

One that size probably wouldn't be prime eating. I'ts been my experience that the bigger ones(of any fish) usually are not the best eating. IMO, most big fish are better released(hopefully after a picture of course) to spawn another time. But...just my opinion, there's nothing wrong with harvesting within your limit.
