Friend of mine sent me this pic....caption was that it was 54 inch, 44 pound Northern Pike. What a catch....this fish didn't miss any meals by the looks of that girth. Not certain who the lucky angler was.

that pic has been floating around the minnesota forums for a while now.rumor is it was caught on lake of the woods but most think it is a european fish.i live a couple of hours away from lake of the woods and if it came from there i would think more people around here would be talking about it.that is a huge pike though

this is what i found on this:
"This pike was caught on the 6th of March 2006 by Dutch fisherman Ewout Blom in a pretty big lake in the south of Holland, I know the name of the lake from where quite a number of 40 plus pikes were caught and released but promised not to mention the name to avoid too heavy fishing pressure.
"This pike had a length of 127 cm and a weight of 19,5 kilo and was caught trolling with a Rapala Super Shad Rap in perch colour and I have about 10 original digital pictures of this fish"
For the metric-impaired (such as yours truly), 127cm and 19.4 kilos works out to right around 50 inches, and just barely shy of 43 pounds...
So, not 50 pounds, NOT Rainy Lake...

glad you guys provided the "rest of the story." you know how these things go....this pic and story will probably be posted and embellished many times in the future. still, it's one heck of a fish and would definitely kick up the pulse of any angler.
