What Happens When A Pike Swims Away With Your Lure Study
If you have ever wondered what happens when a pike takes off with your lure?

I wonder if they would have the same results if there were two hooks on those crankbaits.

Yes they didnt give out any test data or much criteria just that the fish can dislodge it in a short period of time and that it took longer to dislodge from the lower jaw than deep hooked behind the tongue. Makes one wonder how the fish can dislodge it?

I read about so many folks worried about how a fish is held for pictures, but I wonder how many are concerned about using leaderless bait that the Northerns tear off and swallow into their stomachs. I know this year I had another northern pike that had a jig hook poked through it's stomach, and it's whole intestine tract was infected and swollen to probably close to 2 inches wide. Just one 1/4 oz jig with a little monofilament on it. I think Northern Pike are a whole lot tougher than folks want to believe, they definetely last longer in the livewell than a walleye. We always use barbless hooks anyway.

Makes me think back to when I'd catch jack with line or leaders hanging out of their mouths/stomachs. If you slowly and carefully pull them out, they'll relax their throat allowing the hook to come out without injury. I swear after doing this for them and brining them back to the water, they give a happy smile as if to say, "Thanks, fren!"

Then there's the guys who would rather rip the gills or guts out instead of cut the line on a $10 to $20 lure before they throw the fish back.

I wonder what the sample size for this study was.
.......... 4 fish?, 4000 fish?

I caught a beauty of a brookie a couple years ago, and noticed something odd coming out of the tailpipe, a small hook. It worked it's way all the way through that poor animal. I can't and don't want to imagine what that was like. 'Some' hooks don't rust away like they want us to think. Maybe they are talking about in saltwater?

They dont rust at all, they shake them loose and they fall out.

Did a little digging tonight and found the actual study. It's available for free. I'm going to do a bit of reading and see what it actually has to say. For anyone that's interested the link is below.

Read the study and I don't think this is the same one as the pike were observed in a tank and crank baits weren't used. Time to do some more searching.
