Giant Irish Pike

I love big pike, and this has got to be one of the biggest I’ve seen out of Ireland. She measured a lengthy 48 inches long, and had a girth of 24 inches!

48 inch pike

“This fine Pike was caught by Ballingall angler Damian Grifferty. Shortly after noon on Tuesday April 24th the lucky angler hooked-up with a fish of a life time on Lough Ennell. The “Crookedwood Hurley” rattled the scales with a specimen pike weighing 15.98k, well over the 30lbs specimen weight. Damian was fishing with J.J. Flanagan on the day. The monster pike measured 48 inches long and had a girth of 24 inches. The fish came to a large orange lure.”

This one isn’t quite as long, but look how fat it is!
