Record Pike!!

[Canucklehead]

Here's the story, this badboy was caught on Rainy Lake. New Canadian Record! This guy was fishing and caught a 36" pike. As he was reeling it in a 56" pike tried to eat it!!(see picture 3). He already had the net ready so he scooped up both of them in the same net!, im sure that was a task in itself. I would think that would have been the only way he would have caught him. Nobody would expect a fish like that to be there so who would increase their test to land something like this. Awesome catch on a river in Canada 55lbs-56"

It did look like a Canadian fish eating an American fish. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

I can't believe the bigger pike tried to eat the smaller one http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif
No way it could tear the smaller one apart. They are swollowers,
not chewers. On a similar note, I once saw
a large mouth bass eat a baby mallard right in front of
me. I couldn't believe my eyes http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Ya ive had some good struggles with a few pike, or jackfish as we called them when i was young. They make for great fishing and lots of good fishing stories. I was wondering where Rainy lake is as i've never heard of it. But it does look like a Canadian fish http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Let me see if I can say this right. This fish was caught by a friends working partners friend. I think that's it. Anyway, yes it was put back for someone else to have fun with on another day.

WHERE CAN I GET BAIT THAT SIZE?
