I had a picture of a Russian Esox that was HUGE. Can't find the image, I must have lost it in one of my earlier computer failures. Looked like a hybrid, big stripes and spots. Anyone know where that fish was from, and if the image is still out there?

Could be, but I'd try it there for a fish that looked like that anyway...lead undies?

PP,
Nope, this thing was probably 45# or better.
