I expect you will recognize the name Rick, Glenmore Reservoir in S.W. Calgary right off the shore of Heritage Park.

Hmmm...several years ago we did a fly-in fishing trip with Amik in NW Ontario. They happen to have the exact same photo on their website.

Hmmmm is right. Well if it is the exact same photo and I don't doubt what you are saying I guess my fishing buddy who is no longer with us and my grand son were Bull ing me then. I am just showing the pic that was sent to me and quoting what they told me. I'll have to see what my grand son has to say about this. I am not very happy about it especially having posted it here. And they were using my canoe this particular evening.

I see what you mean Rick with the word we in there which was an error on my part. I should have went into more detail. I was just telling it the way it was told to me. No I sure wasn't there. In fact my wife and I were in Goderich Ontario at the time. I just got off the phone with my grand son and he was quite surprised at this and said it never happened. So obviously my fishing buddy Eric at the time was bull ing me. All the time I knew him he had a inferiority complex, telling stories in hopes that others would think more of him as for some reason he quite often felt left out, although he wasn't, if that makes any sense. My apologies for this to all of you. I thought it was worthy of posting, had I known the truth I sure as Hell wouldn't have. But I didn't and I wish I hadn't, it is very upsetting.

This is turning into a great fishing story.

If you net them it might not be legal to keep the big one as it’s not hooked in the mouth.  It’s a new way to foul hook. 
if you wait until the big one swallows the little one then you can keep both.  
I have got two on the same lure. Both on different hooks so legal to keep both.

That's not close to a 56 and that's definitely not a 36in fish in it's mouth LOL!   Gotta love when people over estimate.

That's a good point there Glen, although I have caught, especially pike that just hung onto the bait without actually being hooked. 

My youngest son and I once caught a walleye with both our hooks in it's mouth. Kinda brings new meaning to a double header.

Hence the old saying when a fellow talking to his fishing buddy says, all fishermen are liars except for me and you, and to tell the truth, I'm not too sure about you.

I have seen that picture a number of times.  And as BillM has noted, those pike are nowhere near that size.  The picture has been making the rounds for years, with various waterbodies claimed as the location, including lakes in Europe.

36' is not that small.

well a 36 footer would be pretty big for sure.  But the fact of the matter is the 36 inches is pure Bull, the victim pike in that picture is just not that big.  The eye witness estimated it as 24 inches.
