World Record Pike
The current world record northern pike is a 55 pounder (25kg) caught by Lothar Louis of Germany in 1986. This is a record I believe will be beaten in the near future. Huge pike are being caught throughout Canada and the Europe that could be potential records.
55.1lbs caught in Lake of Grefeern, Germany Oct. 16, 1986
In Canada, at least two Provinces have potential for a future record fish. Both Ontario and Manitoba produce pike over 50 inches each year. Jon and I have seen first hand the huge pike northern Ontario has to offer. Ontario’s current record is just over 42 pounds while Manitoba holds claim to what is perhaps the longest pike ever caught, measuring an estimated 70 inches.
Canadian Pike versus European pike
edit: Then again, maybe the next world record pike will come from Italy.

Alot of bullshitters on this site.
Bullshitters? Fishermen? Internet? NEVER! SRSLY!
I caught an 80lbs Pike whilst fishing on my rubber dingy. I didn’t have enough line to play the fish properly and each time my line was all out, the fish took me water skiing up and down the lake.Took me 2 nights and a day to land! I was so hungry the final morning that I cooked and ate the fish on my portable BBQ for breakfast with the last little bit of energy I had left.
Seriously, which lake were you on as want to try catch a big one myself?
I caught a 75 pounder in France, it took 45 mins to land & it ate my wife….thats why I put it back!
then a day later I caught a 99 pounder on the same lake, it ate my mother inlaw….so I married it, now I live in a caravan & am known as a pikey!
I caught a giant pike in Australia……only one problem…..the Pike ate my baby!
I did a double backflip off the dam wall of loch ken and landed on a 60+lb pike’s back, i poked it in the eye and swam to shore b4 it ate me.
About that world record pike, I’m not fisherman, I am photographer and I have to say that black and white photo is fake. If you look it carefully, you see that the hands and the fish doesn’t belong in that photo at all. His hands would be enormous, his palm would be much wider than his face and that is more rare than record pikes that size. Furthermore, if you look that photo and imagine the length of those arms, he would be able to scratch his ankle while standing straight. Some kind of man/orangutan and that also would be bigger news than that fish. What we are facing here is last remains of propaganda from east Germany, or some kind of April fools day- photo taken too seriously.
[…] is right. That’s a big pike, and not too far off the world record pike caught in Germany in 1986. Suddenly, Yellowknife is sounding pretty exciting, not just because of […]

I comment when I like a post on a website or if I have something to add to the discussion.
Usually it’s caused by the passion displayed in the post I browsed. And on this article World Record Pike | Fishing Fury – A fishing blog with attitude!. I was excited enough to drop a comment ;) I actually do have 2 questions for you if you tend not to mind. Could it be just me or does it look like a few of the comments come across like they are left by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing at other places, I would like to follow everything new you have to post. Would you list all of all your social sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
Cornell, yes the average internet commenter can be fairly brain dead. But we’ll still approve those comments!
