Do Pike gums swell up??
This has been my observation over the years of pike fishing. I just want to see what other people think
All my life i have been a pike fisherman. All my fishing has been done in Manitoba though. I have noticed pretty much every time that the fishing is poor and the pike that are caught that day have no teeth in them.
What causes this? Do their gums swell up as to hide their teeth making them sensitive to biting? When filleting them, their bellies are empty.
These were things we always checked when catching them. It sort of gave us a indicator as to how the day and next few days were going to be.
Thoughts and comments are appreciated
