| Looks like you are holding it out away from your body a bit. Nice pike for sure but not over 40". |

41 sounds like a good guess. |

Location: Roseau | It was from another website, it isnt a fish I caught. They are just claiming a huge number for a pic that is so obvious that it isnt 50.5" Just get sick of large numbers being claimed for alot of fish out there that arent even close!! |

C'mon, you're closer to 240lbs.! In the last five years I've caught 15 pike over 40 and unless Luis Spray caught that fish it's (maybe) - 38! However, still a beauty |

| 36" - 38"
The tail doesn't hang and the belly isn't drooping in the middle like when you hold a long fish |
|
| |
|
| i'd give it 38-40" and I think that is a girl..not a guy holding it?

Location: oswego, il | Here is a 44 I measured a few years ago. The girth makes her stubby looking but it's 44.

Location: Apollo, PA | 40" Tops, when you see a person hold a fish away from their body, towards the camera -
"that's a baddddd sign". Still a nice pike in my book, but tops 40". PS |
|
| |
|
| Closer to 35" than 40" no doubt about it! |
|
| |
|
| If that fish is 50.5 inches, I'll put Mustard on my hat and eat it!
Here's a 39.5 from Lac Seul a couple years ago.

Beaver are you Paul Bunyan.....6'2" on your knee. 
I agree with Brad that is a girl.....the fish is about 39".
Todd why don't you have Beaver show you how to hold a nice Pike.  Get some Musky Armor. |

agreed. typo at 40.5.
It was also listed with an 18" girth. As fat as that thing is, if it were 50.5" it would certainly have more than an 18" girth |

Location: WESTERN WI | 36"-38" no larger. Nice fish, but the fish lost 12" of length... somehow, someway, it has shrunk.

| Good Lord! It's interesting to see how the markings of North American pike vary from those in Europe. Can I ask if that was caught in the Baltic Sea? |
|
| |
|
| I've caught two fish in Pelican Lake in MN that had those same markings. Mine were both under two pounds. I no longer have the photos, but they looked identical to this fish above. |

Chain pickerel possibly?

| Firstsixfeet, I'm not exactly sure. I sent Rob Kimm the photos and I can't remember what he said. They were very similar to the fish in this previous post. Probably were Pickerel. |

Beautiful Fish, great marking!!

| i'd say around 43 |

| Regardless of it's size, whoever is claiming it to be 50.5" is only hurting him/her self. I have seen it dozens of times over the years. BUT, does anyone know if this kids fingers are 6.5" long & is he 6'7" tall? If so, this fish could possibly be a 50+" fish??
With all of the "hype" these past 20 years and beyond, I am hoping that people start calling a fish what it is. I actually went to using a bump board last year, because there have been a few times we've not been "right on the money" for length of a fish. When one guy is at one end, and you're at the other, you don't always get the "exact" measurement....but with a bumpboard, you can do it yourself, and there's no question!!!
This is just my humble opinion, and truly means nothing!!
