Pigeontroller Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Baltic Sea? A Saltwater Pike??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Baltic Sea? A Saltwater Pike??? Yep. Biggest pike in the world come from there. They stay in the brackish areas during the winter but in warmer water will actually head into the ocean proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 http://www.esoxhunter.com/SaltyPike.php http://www.greysfishing.com/en-gb/news-and-events/news/uncategorised/saltwater-pike-in-europe/ Years ago I saw an article on fish scents, in the article it stated that pike showed a preference for mackerel scent, that might explain it?

mepps Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 A beast for sure - I've read posts claiming it was from at least 5 different lakes. Many sources say its Lac Maggiore in Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
