How to remove the Y bones from northern pike.

Up on Lake of the Woods our northern pike season is continuous. This means we can catch pike all year long. The slot for northerns on Lake of the Woods and the Rainy River is 30-40 inches meaning they have to be immediately released. The possession limit is three northerns with the ability of keeping one of which over 40 inches. Typically the spring season is the best time to target these toothy monsters whether its on ice, water, or in back bays or shoreline. You can catch them in numerous places through-out the summer, fall, and winter months. A common problem for many anglers is cleaning the fish after you have caught it. Yes they are slimy and sometimes stinky but are actually very good eating. This short video will show you the best way to remove those pesky Y bones and ensure a bone free piece of meat for your next fish fry.
