Northern pike may play second fiddle to walleye in Minnesota, but they are still a popular sportfish. Rodney B. Pierce, Minnesota DNR’s leading pike biologist, focuses on the toothy predator, combining scientific literature with his own research. This colorful, 224-page book seeks to be the definitive reference on northern pike. It will likely appeal more to pike researchers than average pike anglers, but there is plenty for fishermen, too.—Javier Serna
