The 2004 pike gillnet abundance (2.0/net) was low for lakes in the same class as Battle. The average individual weight (1.3 pounds) was also low. Lengths of pike ranged from 16.1 to 21.2 inches and averaged 17.6 inches. Growth of Battle Lake northern pike was about average for the International Falls Management Area.
