You have to remember that a single large female pike can lay up to about 600,000 eggs....so, even at 1% survival rate, that is still 6000 pike. Also, pike will mature usually in their second year...even with poor spawning conditions, that is some serious reproductive rates! Walleye produce similar numbers and perch can even produce more....
