Apparently this was caught without being hooked - it would not let go of the "small" northern that was! Caught on a river in Canada. 55lbs 56 inches - the pike it's eating is 36 inches.

Top fish is not the same as the bottom fish.. and its was caught on hook and line.. and was caught across the sea. I want to say Holland?... The top 2 picts are not connected at all to the bottom pict, and have been floating around the net for a year or so now.. Still impressive fish!!!

Just say NO to Canada, But Yes to HOLLAND. grin.gif This picture has been around more times and the location keeps changing. I have even seen it on the "braggin" board in gander with a photoshop face job. I think it has officially been proven to be caught in Holland. It is a nice fish though.

FOund it.. from Rob Kimm

Quote:

The bottom photo is a pike from holland caught by Ewout Blom in March of 2006. 127cm and 19.4 kilos, which works out to right around 50 inches, and just barely shy of 43 pounds...

The top photo has been floating around for at least a couple of years.

There are several more photos of the Dutch fish, plus a bunch of other BIG Dutch pike, in the fall issue of The Next Bite - Esox Angler Magazine.

I have even seen those pics up in a local bait shop that the owner said a guy brought in and was with when it was caught. He told the owner that the guy in the photo was his cousin and that the fish was caught on the rainy river! Man, the rumor mill sure does run rampant!!

There was a list in either In-fisherman or Field & Stream recently about world musky / pike records and the U.S. isn’t even in the top 20. I don’t even think Canada was in there. Makes you want to catch a plane.

All right, now who was the wise guy?!?!?!

I just was watching the Channel 5 Morning News and they were showing pictures of fish that viewers caught over the opening weekend. Lo and behold, what is the big fish picture winner but our favorite northern pike photo, with some guy named Larry catching it this past weekend on Rainy Lake. The news anchors and weather guy kept going on about how could he get that thing in the boat, so on and so on. I almost felt sorry for them, ah, if they only knew.

If you're on this board, Larry, fess up now, and congrats on pulling a fast one on Channel 5.

i emailed them also, hopefully they wise up a little. KSTP isn't the most accuarte news source. They have a history of running with just about any piece of garbage they think is interesting whether its fact or in this case fiction.

But I guess they don't see the need to fact check a simple fishing photo.

The Zander photo is rediculous. There is a black line around the fish and for goodness sake there are two front fins. Very poor PhotoShoping, That is hilarious.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
