I just got an email of a large northern pike. It said it was caught in Rainy Lake. Size of 54" long and weighed 44lbs. Anyone here of this fish or know anything about it? I will post a picture later.

this picture has been floating around the internet boards/emails for months. I have also heard it was not Rainy Lake.

There's an article in the most recent Esox Angler with the facts on this fish.

Yaaa think that was a catch and release fish? I know I would put it back! Could not afford a real or fake mount of something that big. Maybe a key chain???

I have always found it odd how "snakey" pike are. The fish in this pic looks like it has no skeletal structure, no support. If you hold an equally sized salmon, tarpon, tuna, whatever, they don't bend like a length of jello, lol...really weird!

Great picture, huge fish!

I can't believe that fish ONLY weighed 43 #'s.What a pic of a monster Pike.I sure see why the Europeans are into Pike fishing,like we are with Muskies.

I had those pictures on my website for a few weeks and I got some of the funniest emails telling me where it really came from. From Iowa to Iraq to Ireland (and other places that do not begin with "I")...

Stock em.What I really found interesting on your Pike was their ability over generations to adapt to waters with a high salt mixture that would kill our Pike.

Hehe, sure, stock muskies... The only fish that are stocked here is trout, KILL ALL THE PIKE!!! so we can overcrowd another lake with 1lbs trout

The sad part is that the majority prefer a smalltrout lake over, a good pike fishery.

Fishing out on my lake recently I chatted with another local who told me last early spring he drifted up on a "yard-long pike so big it looked like it had swollowed 3 footballs" He said it was scary big, and it just drifted from the shallows out to deeper water as he got close.

I think there are spooky big fish, at least a couple, in every lake that holds pike/muskies plus lots of forage.

Man,we get the same crap over here with the anti-musky crowd.Some of the Walleye guys gut em with a knife,when they catch them accidently.

I can tell you'r not a "bait " fisherman,either.Any plans to do a Musky trip over here?

I do fish for "baitfish" every now and then, Salmon/trout is the only fish i like to eat.
Yes, Im planning on a muskytrip some time in the future. I visited NY this april, but the plans for a trip, with someone from this forum, didnt come thru.
Don P.: Ive seen some images/reports from Holland, alot of big pikes there, but for some reason the dutch loves to travel to Norway and Sweden to fish for pike
