The sounds good. I need to try it.
i never mastered the art of filleting them....gave up on it.
if i get a really big one i grind it up and make fish patties with it, they make a great crispy patty! just eggs and crackers with maybe a tiny bit of onion added.

How to Fillet a Pike (and Get 5 Boneless Fillets!) - YouTube
Here's a good video. The back filet has a cord running down the middle. Remove that and you end up with 6 pieces of boneless yummy pike.
Nice pike! It's my preferred fish to target with favorite method being with spear through the ice in winter. I help run the Michigan Darkhouse Angling Association social media.
I don't like to waste any meat, so don't make an attemp to remove the Y bones before cooking. I fillet the same as you described and remove the Y bones on the plate. To do so is much easier than describing it, and the meat saves is worth the slight effort in my opinion.
Perhaps I'll make a short video to share the next time I cook some up.
After I posted this, I realized some of you may not listen to country music and think I was trying to be racist. I PROMISE THIS WAS NOT MY INTENT! I was referring to a Dolly Parton song (Tennessee Homesick Blues) where one of the lines in the song is "Gonna head down to Calhoun county and catch us a coon". If I offended anyone, I sincerely apologize!

Fillet Pike with NO BONES (Step-by-Step) - YouTube
This one was big enough that I was able to take the piece with the bones and remove them one at a time, similar to how you do a salmon. first time I've taken the time to do that and wasted zero meat.
Dwayne, we didn't catch a coon but probably could have hit half a dozen woodchuck in the road, they'er THICK this year.

Thats pretty sweet Jerry.
I don’t know the last time I ate Pike.
Catching that on Crappie gear makes me wonder if I should have a competition this fall.
Ludington or Muskegon, height of the mythical Salmon run and jig for them……. with Crappie gear………….
I see broken poles, stripped reels, and plenty of “Oh Crap” laughter.
Just the thought makes me smile and snicker.
Mostly cuz I’ve seen what Salmon do to poles & reels to the unsuspecting……..
ROFLMAO
