Nothing wrong with pike, sakimono. I used to think the same thing. Once I learned the proper way to fillet them I started keeping the odd one here and there. Out of cold water then are every bit as good as walleye, some people say even better. Welcome aboard.

I love winter pike too. Up my way in the summer though the meat gets a bit sour tasting.

I think it's incidental. So long as you are not using the sunfish as bait ie.casting it back out you are fine. I have had a similar experience with hammer handle pike hitting a lure and getting smashed by bigger ones. Pretty common on one lake we go to up in Timmins. Maybe this is a question for the "ask a co" section of the magazine.

ps. selfishly I would like to tell you pike tastes terrible and has too many bones and is high in cholesterol and fat and sugar pcbs and mercury. Leave them for me and I will keep them.

I once met a guy who said his dad used to cook pike in the dishwasher. Definitely one of the weirder fishing things I've ever heard. I thought he was joking.
