Mystery Pike No More

I got an email the other day with some info on the mystery pike we posted last year. Looks like this beauty was definitely caught in Italy as we had first believed. The second mystery pike was caught in France! I can’t confirm yet if they are 100% true, but at least its a start!


I only wanted to tell you that the monstrous pike in the photo in the attachment has been caught in the 2006/2007 winter in the Lake Maggiore, in northern Italy and it was released after the photo.

Huge Italian pike?
This fish was caught in France. It was in a lake which name is Pareloup (in Aveyron). The lucky fishermen were Philippe COSTE and Arnaud FOISSAC and the fish’s weight was 19,4kg (43Lbs) and the length was 1.37m (53.9 in)

Just a short message to confirme the origin of the second pike it was taken in france few years ago. I’ve seen the picture in the magazine ” la pêche et les poissons”. I ll try to find a bit more about this one.

Re: Explosive Fishing Techniques

ok how can anybody ever think that dynamite fishing and cyanide fishing is morally right?? i just want to go and yell in their faces and make them feel so dang guilty because you guys are harming more than the killing of fish you are harming the ecosystem!! and its only kiling the earth even faster so when the world is coming to an end then i am going to go right up to you guys and just say now how do you feel being responsible for the end of the earth and the death of thousands thank you!

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 [...]
