Pike are great eating and often pretty cooperative, they hold the title of the fastest freshwater fish on earth, and are one of only two circumpolar freshwater fish on earth, the other being the burbot, another Yukon favourite! They can be very bony if not cleaned properly, but that's not an issue if you hire a professional guide π. With firm white meat, they are absolutely excellent table fare, especially when pulled from our cold northern lakes.
North Country allows two non trophy fish per angler per trip to be taken home, with all trophies and most others being returned to the lake to spawn and be caught another day. This is usually enough meat to provide several meals. With ever increasing pressure on our lakes, it's everyone's responsibility to look after our resource. Remember that a "limit" is an absolute maximum, not a goal!
