Real or not??

As others have stated it's a Netherlands/Holland Pike. Picture is right out of, I believe, In- Fisherman and same guy/fish is in Winter edition of Esox Angler. Not sure who/where the second picture is from but it has floated around OFC for years.

 

The email going around with both pictures in it though claims they are Ontario Fish!

Anyone have that picture of the Native fellow that caught that monstruos pike that would have been a world record but he fed his family with it ? the picture has his whole family holding the fish in the newspaper.

 

I'll keep looking for it, having trouble finding it, it was a canadian fish, think Alberta.

Wow! Yet another fat euro-pike.

 

Seems to me like there's a lot of bigger versions of our warm water species over there.

 

The pike seem much bulkier, the perch are bigger all 'round and the zander are larger than our walleye on average.

 

Any thoughts on the reason for this?

 

My guess is some combination of genetics, prolonged growing season and possibly forage?

 

Either way, whenever I get over there, I'm packin' my rod...

Well either way, that smaller pike is screwed!

 

Very cool pic!

 

As Wayne said, the first Pike is on the cover of the Winter edition of ESOX Angler Magazine.
