I'm sure I've seen these before, you never know the truth of internet photos. Still pretty amazing.

Supposedly the guy was fishing Turtle Lake in Northern Saskatchewan and caught a 36" Pike. As he was reeling it in, a 56" - 55 lb Pike tried to eat it !!!!! He landed them both in the same net.

Here is a little info I found on a very quick search...

“This pike was caught on the 6th of March 2006 by Dutch fisherman Ewout Blom in a pretty big lake in the south of Holland, I know the name of the lake from where quite a number of 40 plus pikes were caught and released but promised not to mention the name to avoid too heavy fishing pressure.

"This pike had a length of 127 cm and a weight of 19,5 kilo and was caught trolling with a Rapala Super Shad Rap in perch colour and I have about 10 original digital pictures of this fish.

"For the metric-impaired (such as yours truly), 127cm and 19.4 kilos works out to right around 50 inches, and just barely shy of 43 pounds.”

It’s PikeSpamPorn (The Pike pictures that will never die).

Not to be confused with the 10ft “Rainy River” Sturgeon Pic that will supposedly provide male enhancement, or the Record Grizzly Bear pic that will cure baldness.

Sorry Don…..

I just wish a handful of these picture would slowly fade away and never come back. laugh

1. those are not the same fish (you can easily tell that because the european pike has many more spots, especially on the gill plate)

2. the big pike was caught south of holland

he was using a super shadrap

here is a link to the story

The top fish could be from anywhere, you can tell it's not a true monster by any means. Look at the leader and the minnow, you can tell the pike in the mouth is less than 20". I'd put the larger fish in the low 40's range, which any number of lakes can easily produce.

The Euro pike has a head as big as the fisherman, the upper photo the big pike looks to have a head that's only slightly larger than a mens softball.
