Talking Wab Hog!
Went to wab prov park this weekend camping with the family and managed to get 3hrs in on the lake.Here's a few pics of the highlight fish that measured in at 52 inches and weighed in at 34.7 pounds.OOOH YEAH.Best fish of my life!!Knew there were some hogs in there but never dreamed of catching a pike that big.Unforgettable.

Im thinking 52 inches is a bit off....the guy must be 8 feet tall if thats a 52 incher...great fish BTW! ......a pic beside the tape would dispell any myths.

It doesn't look any bigger than the 44 inch one I caught this spring on the fly in fact it looks smaller....

Very nice pike! Might be a bit high on the measurement/weights though.
