Are you talkin northern pike? Long, slender fish, teeth like a barracuda?
If so, some folks do, most don't eat them.

Muskelunge, or muskie, is a different fish. Muskies can grow to 6' or more. Northerns not as large, but ferocious. Both are fighters to catch, neither is excellent eating.
Same here in Florida , Freshwater Jacks are like the northern Muskie but a lot smaller with lots of teeth but definitely not a muskie'
Also called the Chain Pickerel.
Salt water Jacks are the Jack Crevalle which is a hard fighting fish and nothing like the fresh water Jack.
