anyone know why pike stink like hell in the summer? Caught a few last week while walleye and striper fishing and good lawd they stank. They dont smell that way in the spring and fall or through the ice

Those two guys look exactly the same to me lol. Any tips of fishing pike from shore right after the ice melts? I usually target bass and get the occasional pike by accident on a rattle trap or something.
