Check out this Pike....

[DHise]

Supposedly 58 inches and the one in the mouth was a little smaller.:yikes: The big one ate the little one while the angler was bringing it in (the little one).

I heard it was caught in the Detroit River and is a new world record.
He caught it on a wax worm and a slip bobber.

:evil::hide::banghead3

[DHise]

Does it really count if the hook wasn't actually in its mouth?

[Due51]

:lol:

I believe Steve should plaster that photo into the banner on the front page of the site.

[SeaRay]

Please make it go away!!!!:banghead3:banghead3:bonk::bonk::bash: Not again.

Wasn't it 7 feet and attacking people swimming?

The guy that caught the fish was a guy by the name of Rompola and was eaten by a cougar once he reached the harbor.:dizzy:

[waterfoul]

LOL!!! The photo that just won't die!!

Anyone wanna guess how many times it's been posted here? Or how old it is? I'll bet that photo is 10 years old and has been posted here 20 times.

No offense DHise... but thost pics just keep coming up and the stories get better every time.

[STEINFISHSKI]

WOW awesome fish! I think it was caught on Muskegon Lake.:evil:

[shadow]

yeahh its 58inches. it rests in a pool of water thats 60inches wide and 16inches deep. the pool of water is located deep in the manistee national forest only accessable from the air. nearby you will find the fabled sword in the stone and the ark of the covenant both guarded by bigfoot and his pet cougar.

true story

FREMONT I SAY!!!!
On cashews and a pineapple ring on a treble hook!!!!!
:yikes: :lol: :yikes: :lol:

[wally-eye]

I think it should be a site rule that if that picture is ever posted again the person that posts it is automatically banned for life.................:evil:

[thedude]

Let me set the record straight.
I caught the top fish in 2006 on a baby bald eagle zip tied to a treble hook while fishing 6th Street Dam in GR for steelhead... the larger fish hit the smaller one on the way in. The 2nd pic is my brother in law Hank. He shot that big sob w/ a crossbow in 40 FOW up in manitoba. He's a badass.

[waterfoul]

Do you guys think that the angler in the picture has ANY IDEA how big a superstar he is here in the States? The man should have his own postage stamp or something. :D

The fish is from Europe, if I'm not mistaken.

No it was caught up on Tamarack, the guy that caught it is one of my old drinkin buddies...honestly...

[nosleeptillbrooklyn]

I heard that the guy in the photo is a dwarf, and the fish is only 32 inches and 9 lbs.:lol::lol::lol:

Aw man! Now you've done it! Revealing specific holes is suppose to be against the rules!:lol::16suspect

naw, actually it's Tom Thumb fishing out of his Lund Sardine tin and that pike is nothing more than a fryling.

[StumpJumper]

Is the photo a fake? I've seen it a thousand times but always thought it was just one hell of a fish?? :confused:

[DHise]

I knew you guys would like it.:yikes:
It's actually a pic of me. I'm ugly, aren't I?:corkysm55

[dtg]

I don't know about the top one, but the lower pic is indeed real.....it just ain't from the Americas, North, Central or South. I thought it was from the Netherlands or somewhere close to it.

Heres a link to a big one from Manitoba http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59309&page=2

I think we all knew before I even clicking on this thread what photo was going to be there... :lol:

Yup, I know I found what I was expecting.

[Fishndude]

I heard that when the taxidermist was preparing the fish for mounting, that he found Jonah (from the Bible) inside it. Seems ole Jonah had just overcome his fear of swimming, and had been convinced to give fresh water a try. He'll never make that mistake again.
I also heard a rumor that the actual angler who caught that fish was none other than Britney Spears. Who would have thought?

You're totally right. She caught it on a fly tied from her own hair. It was so successful, she shaved it all off to mass produce them....

[Southend517]

is that the same fish that was caught blue gill fishing? Thee dude caught a gill which was ate by a bass then the bass was swallowed by the pike - then the bigger pike ate the other pike? If you wan't that lure pretty sure KD still has some but you have to ask.

Well, wherever the thing is from.... it's a freaking monster! LOL they Manitobas Biggest Pike.. lol. I think that would've been on my wall.

[DHise]

I should have went through all the threads before I posted that guys. Sorry, i joined today.

Were not, it took a pic posting southerner to point it out......


:dizzy:


I caught that fish a few years back in a drainage ditch of the Rouge River.

It was a freak......

[DHise]

I lived in western Michigan for 13 years before I moved here; therefore, I am as much of a yankee as you.

Better have some thick skin to hang around here long.......:lol::evil:

[DHise]

The Rouge near Detroit or did you mispell Rogue?

[wyldkat49766]

I saw one TWICE this big today out at Fletchers. Took off with my Bluegill I was reeling in, that was in the process of getting ate by a nice largemouth but then this 40 inch pike was gobbling up the bass when this HUGE monster came up and took ALL of it.

Dhise... don't sweat it. We give all the newbies a tough time.. especially someone from backwoods North Carolina. Which Nascar team do you work for???

Is the the Rouge closer to Canton or Rockford????
Tick tock , tick tock......

Who cares man, I have seen that picture many times and I still enjoy seeing it... I sure would like to hook into a monster like that someday.. it gives me hope. :D

[Hespler]

Geeeez guy's i caught that thing in Newburgh lake in Livonia on a hunk of ham from my sandwich,,,,I told you all that 4 years ago.......GOSH.

[Jnamo]

Now the southerner is going to run a spell check on all of our threads....

I think you need to spend more time fishing and less time on "these here boards"....



That is alright anyway. I too would look for any way of saving face after posting that picture that we have all seen a hundred times....:lol:

Tight Lines!
