The only question I have is how old are the 36 inch pike? I could have seen the slot be just a bit lower but I am fine with the regs. Pike can reproduce and grow quickly so don't feel bad. Look at how many eggs are in a 22 inch female......thousands.
Looking forward to heading to the beehive state to fish Yuba March 1, I just hope there is safe ice.
There are lots of ways to catch them, and steel leaders are not always best. Thick clear stuff doesn't spook the leader shy toothy critters, and many of them are leader shy. I actually prefer tip ups over hand rods or jawjackers.

Just saying.
