Sizes Slotted

What's a good size slot for northern pike for eating?

3-4 lbs in a warm area, 5-6 in really cold water (northern canada).

After 5-6 I find they end up tasting muddy - although if you soak them in milk for 2 hours some of that swampy/muddy taste will come out.

Generally the shallower and warmer your water is, the quicker the pike will develop a muddy taste, and the bigger/older the pike the 'fishier' it gets.

Good luck, tight lines.
