52 Inch Pike!

There’s no arguing this one, this is a legitimate 52 inch (131cm) pike! I wish this was caught on one of my lures, or better yet, by me.

The source appears to be Dutch, and my attempts to translate yielded some very broken English, but if anyone can tell us the story on this please leave a comment below!

Check out more monster pike at Meter Snoeken, including our highly debated friend, Mr 3 fingers.

Thanks Sander!

I’ll try to translate it for you guys……. :-)
As you can see mr 3 fingers now has 4 fingers. It’s a way of balancing the fish making sure it doesn’t tip over to one side when holding it up for a photo. I’m sure the debated photo was just an unintended optical illusion.

Here’s 2 pictures of me with 2 different carp caught on the same water. I’m curious if anyone can tell me which one was bigger and how much the difference in weight was:

Thanks again Sander!

I’d say the bottom was the biggest at 14lbs. (it all depends how tall you are I guess)
The angle of the top one make it look longer though.

Bottom fish was 15lbs, the first fish however was 22lbs! And I know it doesn’t look like that at all.
Show how important it is to take a good at lighting and angles before taking a picture.

Sander on May 28th, 2008 @ 7:43 am

uhm oops…….exactly the other way around, topfish 15lbs, bottom 22lbs

Sander on May 28th, 2008 @ 9:27 am

That makes more sense!

Clive Mathias on May 28th, 2008 @ 10:24 am

Well that’s that then eh? If i ever get another Pike again it’s hardly gonna impress anyone after that big lump! I think anyone from Europe (excluding England) can only send pics in from now on if they’re rubbish and no good!

Re: Japanese Tackle Shops

That's the trouble right there, the finish on these Lures!...I started buying Rapala jointed and when i had a couple i just had to buy them in all the different finishes (Hot Perch, Perch, Walleye etc etc), i had so many in the end it was like i was collecting them to put in a glass case or something, i didn't dare use them, a Pike won't care if your Lure cost 5 quid or 30 quid, it's still gonna scratch all that fancy artwork/paintwork either way!...I sold all mine as a set on ebay in the end as i [...]

Re: Stormy Kromer Hat Contest!

I'm not much for a pithy comment, but I thought I'd leave a note about how honored I be to wear Kromer on my upcoming annual pheasant hunting trip to South Dakota. I'm sure that my hunting buddies will joke about how silly I look while they wear their stylized broad brim hunting caps, but I'll be laughing on the inside as my head stays nice and warm. I'll be laughing al the more when the stiff South Dakota wind picks up and Kromer is staying put. Finally, with the fall bite on, I know my new Kromer will call the [...]
