Mat Hillman 49 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 How comes carp all get thier own name, but pike all get called Jack! Equal rights for pike I say !!!!! Mat Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe cos carp mean something to carpers and they fall in love with the fish they name. Pike on the other hand mean 'Jack' to them. I would have called a male pike up to 4/5lb a Jack. How can you actually sex pike? Link to post Share on other sites
