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

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin		I would guess low 40's.

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!!

Beav

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

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

Here's a 37.5 and a 38 that Eric caught one day while fishing with JoMusky and me. He was 11 then.

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

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.

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.
