Posted on April 24, 2016April 24, 2016 / Mike McFeely / Hobbies & Interests /. DEVILS LAKE, N.D. â Nathan LaFleur caught what was likely the largest northern pike ever taken from Devils Lake and possibly the largest ever in North Dakota â and released it before he could weigh it. LaFleur caught a 51.5-inch pike last week on a fly rod.
Big northern pike eat large fish and a lot of fish, and so fish managers long thought that an abundance of northern pike would limit panfish numbers, preventing the stunting common in many lakes. As in Horseshoe Lake, stocking northern pike to control panfish can backfire. In fact, we have little evidence that an abundance of northern pike (or muskie) can prevent a proliferation of small sunfish. Apparently, sunfish are too prolific and too adept at hiding in thick cover to be controlled by northern pike.
