Location: ITALY | Hi guys, I'd like to share my PB with you from Italy. An old lady measuring 135cm/53.14". The fulfillment of a dream. My previous record was 130cm/51" and I didn't think I could beat it. Don't stop dreaming because they might just come true.

Location: Selkirk, Manitoba | Congrats. Very impressive pike.
Are they considered northern or southern pike where you caught that one? |

| Great fish! How closely related to North American pike are those pike? |

| Very nice. Whats the philosophy over there for trophy fish. Is it catch & release or a catch & kill type thing. I know it differs all over the world. Thats a big Pike, it would be fun to tangle with one some day.
How was it caught? Trolling, casting or using live bait? |

Location: ITALY | Thanks for the compliments, this pike is a Northern Pike. In Italy, most pike anglers believe in C&R, including me... especially with trophy specimens... for this reason this catch was released. Only 3 photos were taken to avoid further stressing it as much as possible. The pike was caught with a 10" softbait (shad), casting
