50lb+ Pike caught in SA... Rumors or not?

[Guitarplayingfish]

I just recieved a photo of a MONSTER pike... Supposedly caught the other day in Southern Alberta... Rumors of 50lb+, and it sure looks like it.

Has anyone heard anything about this?

[HELL]

Show the pic

[Guitarplayingfish]

Here is the pic. If the guy who caught it is on this forum, its not my fault for posting it... If your mad, be more careful who you send pics to, as they are texted around like crazy. At least I had the consideration to remove the young man's face.

This pike is a BEAST! Wish she was still swimming around...

[JohninAB]

Nice fish, not sure if it is 50lbs though. Hard to tell for me.

[.300ultramag]

Holeee!! What a bruiser!!!

[MoFugger21]

Definitely a monster. 50lbs tho.... Not sure about that.



And also... in b4 "OMFG I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMEONE KEPT THAT FISH!!! AAARRRRRGGGGGGG!" Lol

[Guitarplayingfish]

Yeah, 50 seemed a little high...hence the "Rumor or not?"

regardless, what a beauty.

[baptiste_moose]

Over 40 boys! We need a back shot. Never seen a belly like that!

maybe got some 10lb fish inside it...

[BeeGuy]

Yep, that's my fish.

Not quite 50, but close enough.

[bubba 96]

That's one for the wall, nice fish...

[Sloughsharkjigger]

Yep, that's my fish.

Not quite 50, but close enough.

Tell us the story Mr. Bee guy........

[Alberta Bigbore]

Nice Bull Trout!!!!

[EZM]

maybe got some 10lb fish inside it...

Maybe a little kid in there too...... what a pig....... can't wait for this story to come out.

That's going to be close to the 38lb record.

[Walleyes]

That's one heck of a pig for sure,, hard to tell how heavy but who really cares that doesn't change the fact it's a huge fish.

[Big Red 250]

Big fish no dought. I wonder what hole size it was pulled out of.

[Dr.D]

I had this pic sent to me twice last year I was told Germany

[BeeGuy]

Tell us the story Mr. Bee guy........

I was trying to bait the real fisherman, but if what Dr.D writes is true, it ain't likely to work.

Can't say I've ever iced a pike in AB.

[ken1989]

I have seen and caught many big pike. No way its 50 lbs. I put in the low to mid 30's.

[Zip-in-Z]

It's been said that some anglers actually stuff a bunch of lead sinkers down into a fishes belly for various reasons. I would agree with others, you would need at least 15-20 lbs of lead to get the female over 50! Nevertheless, it's still a nice fish, I only wish it would of lived for another day.

Zip ....

Are you sure?....German's wear their wedding rings on the other hand.....hmmmmm the plot thickens :)

[Gust]

Is it just me or does it appear to have been gaffed?

[Zip-in-Z]

Is it just me or does it appear to have been gaffed?

I had another look, not a gaff hook ... small cal. bullet holes, it looks a bit like a gater, they shoot them first, then drag them in!

Zip ...

[perch seeker]

Is it just me or does it appear to have been gaffed?

nice fish, no way 50 pounds,IMHO, holding it arms out like that, ive made small fish look big with the way you pose for the camera, looks like it has just had lunch tho. like the others said fish in its belly, bet if you looked in its mouth you might still see its tail.lol . so i have to say B.S

[Walleye101]

Yup that big guy is from Germany!:happy0180:

Well guys I didn't want this story to get leaked but sometimes its hard to keep a secret. I nailed this pig on Keho Lake on January 3rd. I came down there knowing that the new provincial record was in this lake. I took my good fishing buddy "Guitarplayingfish" with me and we hit the ice.

I had just purchased a few of those new iFishpro tip ups and wanted to use them really badly. We bought some extra large bait this trip and even used bingo dabbers to put red accents on them. This big ol' girl smoked one of the baits that was set bout 4' under the ice. The fight was long, with many runs ripping the 30# PP into my hands. Quite a mess still I might add.

She weighed in at 41.6 lbs...

WOW!!! FISHERMEN CAN TELL SOME WHOPPER OF A STORY !!!
This fish was caught last summer August I think, I was told from Lake Newell while fishing for walleye couple of Good Ol Newfie Boys. Weight started at 63 pounds, now 50, nother couple months should get to right weight 34 pounds.

NICE TRY THOUGH !!! :)

[Stinky Buffalo]

Are you sure?....German's wear their wedding rings on the other hand.....hmmmmm the plot thickens :)
LC

Yup, but during engagement they'd wear them on the left hand. The rings switch hands at the wedding. Not entirely sure that it's still practiced this way...

Whoops, derail! Sorry... :thinking-006:

[waterninja]

really is a monster. pity he didn't put it back. not saying he did wrong to keep it but it would be exciting to know it was still in the water somewhere.

Uhm, ok but why are there ice crystals on it? or do newfies go fishing with snocone machines?

Why is there a hole in the fishes head?

I guess... Lately I have been getting some 12-13"... If I had LKTR out my back door like you do I would probably stick around too.

I may be making a trip your way for reading week. I'll keep you posted.

[Paul C]

There is lots of euro pics if big pike on face crack. Easy to find there and google images show lots of big pike as well.

that must be one helluva cooler, how much beer did they bring and how did they stretch out the fish to be so limber again? how did they know to bring such a big cooler? wouldn't have the fish of that size melted the ice chippens? why are there still chippens on the fish? i mean august isn't exactly the chilliest month out on the prairies.

why did they use a gaff? i mean if they knew to bring such a big cooler, wouldn't they have brought an equally large net?

skoll

[Monster Pike Man]

Wouldn't that be the new Alberta record if it was 41lbs?

[WayneChristie]

Alberta record is only for fish caught in Alberta :bad_boys_20:

[pelada trochu]

Yeah, a german would be wearing camo leiderhosen and the garage would have ornate cucold clocks and the recycling bin would be overflowing with beer steins and fritter wrappers.

You have quite the eye piker, quite the eye.

Oh! And germans dont have garages but bunkers.

Wayne ...... you solved the mystery of the hole in his head ......

Think about it ..... if you rolled a pig like that in that much coke you would HAVE TO shoot that freaking thing....

That pig would be bouncing all over the place, blinking and licking his lips.

That would have scared the crap out of them ...... that pig will eat a kid!!!!

I bet they shot a dozen holes in the bottom of the tinner just because the coked up pike was dodging bullets like the matrix.....

[Speckle55]
