I am very familiar with the squawfish "Pike Minnow". I have caught plenty of them. Many times I have used a 5" rapala. I caught one less than a week ago on a huge streamer. I have also brought them in puking up smaller fish after being landed. Despite popular belief once they get a little size to them they are most definitely predators. They get quite a bit larger than most think as well. I have caught them well over 8 pounds. Look below and you can see what the rest of the world thinks of them. They are not trying to get the rainbows out of these water sheds. It is the "pike minnow" that is the major threat to the salmon and steelhead fry.
