For what its worth I caught about 7 pike out of the Kish last year. Not one of them were over 19". All hammer handles. I don't really target pike but I catch them by accident fishing for bass. Years ago before the Kish had the major fish kill I got one 32". Out of the 7 last year 2 came from the south branch, 2 from the main branch, and 3 from the north branch. They are all over the Kish but not in big numbers. They sure are fiesty, even in cold water.
