Great video! I clean my pike boneless using the 5 piece method and keep the loins and tails for frying but save the bone pieces until the end of winter when I then do a big batch of pickled pike!
I don't know if it is an absolute necessity, but it seems to be a big part of the flavor because the pickling solution is very sweet. Try it without the sugar and let us know!
Looks like Shakey Lakes just in front of the beach( HOT SPOT). Just went yesterday morn and caught 4 pike and 3 good size small mouth between 7am and 10:30am
I question the need to freeze the fish first. Not saying it would hurt anything but in a heavy brine I think you are pretty much safe from parasites. I go a step further and skip the water and do a vinegar and salt brine for 5 days. Shotgun Red's recipe. Great video!
I met Jonny Hendricks at party city in Mansfield Texas a week before his fight with Martin Kampman and the dude was shredded. When I told him I thought he'd KO Kampman in the first he said something to the effect of don't underestimate him he's really good. Then he took a pic with my son and I. Really seemed like a good guy.🥊keeeip that at chlinmp =champ yall gett in to GSTP Cheater no more 🥋
@@TomahawkPursuits Thanks for the speedy reply. I've got it soaking in a salt brine right now and will be transferring it to vinegar tonight. Great video!

Nice video. The jars look tasty!
Thank you!
Trying this recipe from Kentucky😋 couldn’t find enough sucker so I substituted white perch. Hopefully it’ll turn out 🤞
Well done video thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Nice vid. Is sugar an absolute necessary ingredient?

@@TomahawkPursuits Will do. Not going back out until next week but definately will try to bag some pike for the pickling.

You may be right! I'm sure there are many good ways to do it. Cheers!
How do you make pike taste like salmon?

Do you rinse the fish after the salt bath? Or do you just drain it?
Yes, rinsing the salt brine is a good idea, but if you forget it is likely not going to hurt anything
