Well looking at the Sask records it did NOT come from there.

"Northern Pike 42 lbs 12 oz Lake Athabasca 1954"

Although looking at the link you can see

"World Record: 55 lbs. 1 ounce Germany"

So I would say that's where this baby come from.

I think the biggest on record is from Ireland, 92lbs(?) but it was cought in a net , not by angling.
I know they get big in brackish water in Russia and the Baltic areas .
