Ha ha ha. Not that Pike picture again!
That is a 54" pike caught in Holland, the story was featured in Esox Angler Magazine. I think it was in 2007. European pike can get bigger than our North American ones just FYI.
There is a fabricated story that has been circulating about this being a world record caught on Rainy Lake in Canada after it ate a smaller pike that the angler was reeling in (which does happen by the way).
Here is the explanation of the myth [url "http://fishinghistory.blogspot.com/2007/09/great-northern-pike-photo-myth.html"]http://fishinghistory.blogspot.com/...pike-photo-myth.html[/url]
