Just did my homework,, The Baltic is "Brackish" water with more freash water on top and more salty water on the bottom. What a monster!!

HEHE, I loved that email floating around, someone should attach this photo to an email and say it was caught at Mille Lacs!! Just kidding of course.

What a true monster fish. 53" anything is big but the girth on that fish is incredible.

Here is a photo from a friend in Italy who caught this 55 lb. Pike out of Lake Maggiore, Italy. He also caught a 53.5 lb. pike a few weeks later.

Those pike are unreal. I caught a 46" pike this year out of Mille Lacs, but the girth doesn't even compare. The muskies that I catch don't even compare for that matter, LOL. I would love to tie into pike like that!

Wow, those are big pike. I always heard pike will grow large in Europe, but never did here why. Are the pike here, North America, capable of growing this large?

Is it the pike fishery is hit to hard here in the states? Have big fish like this ever been caught in Canadian waters?

Anyway, nice fish.

Certain waters yes, others no. In many 'overseas' Pike waters a 20# Pike is a really nice fish.

I don't want to spoil on anybodies parade, but there is no way that fish if 53" and 43 lbs. Me and Rock Strongo have caught lots of big fish during the years, and that fish is bigger than stated. Trust me on that one. Wouldn't surpirse me if those Europeans report there picture fish smaller so others don't come on to fish there spots. There more suspicious than us Americans.

Great fish, can't say Rock or me ever landed a red, white and blue northern anywhere close to that old country monster. They do grow 'em big across the pond.

I dont see what the fuss is about, thats a really small whale shark....oh, wait, thats a pike?! Holy $#!^
Both of those fish are hugemungus!

On a side note, the fish in the very 1st picture doesn't look to lively...the eye looks glazed over.
Regardless, huge fish! Congrats

I only sell about 200 17" Grunt trolling lures a year but about 1/3 go to that area of the world. Now I know why!
